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 2.7 miles, 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 3 miles. Carlyon Bay is 3.4 miles with a long sandy beach. The Eden Project biomes are approximately 4.3 miles 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. Not great for guests travelling with children, as the sleeping capacity is 2 and the estate setting is geared towards couples, or for anyone wanting a dog-friendly stay, as dogs are not accepted. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are about 7.5 miles, 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.
