The Saddlery At Hembal Manor

The Saddlery is a converted outbuilding on Hembal Manor estate near St Austell, sleeping 2 in a double bedroom with an open-plan lounge and dining area on the ground floor. A private deck leads off the main space, overlooking the walled garden. The wider estate includes woodland grounds with shared access for guests.

The cottage has a garden, parking, and Wi-Fi. A washing machine is available. The rating of 4.8 from 5 reviews reflects the setting and presentation of the conversion.

Porthpean Beach is 4.3km, a small sheltered bay that's quieter than the main tourist beaches. Charlestown harbour, a Georgian port preserved largely as it was when trading ketches used it to export China clay, is 4.8km. Carlyon Bay is 5.4km with a long sandy beach. The Eden Project biomes are approximately 7km from the estate.

Best for couples who want a quiet, estate-based retreat with countryside walks from the door and easy day trips to Mid Cornwall's coast and attractions. Dogs are welcome, and the rural setting with woodland paths suits active dogs well. Not great for guests travelling with children, as the sleeping capacity is 2 and the estate setting is geared towards couples. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are about 12km, making this a reasonable base for anyone combining coast and garden visits in the same trip.

St Austell has a main line rail station and a supermarket within 10 minutes by car.
