Tyack

Tyack is a second-floor 2-bedroom apartment in Charlestown, sleeping 4 with 2 bathrooms, and a private balcony that looks directly over the Georgian harbour. The view - tall ships moored at the quay year-round against the 18th-century dock walls - is the defining feature of the stay.

Inside, the apartment has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and includes wi-fi, parking, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. Two bathrooms for four guests is a practical advantage for families or two couples sharing.

Charlestown harbour is the UK's last intact 18th-century working harbour, built in the 1790s by Charles Rashleigh for china clay export. Charlestown Beach is about 800 metres away - a mixed-sand cove with rock pools at low tide. The Eden Project is roughly 10 minutes inland by car, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are about 5 miles along the coast road.

**Best for:** Couples or families who want front-row access to one of Cornwall's most-filmed harbour villages, with practical amenities and genuine character. **Less good for:** Those needing sea-level access (second floor, confirm lift details) or anyone travelling with dogs (not accepted).
