Vine Cottage

Vine Cottage is a ground-floor 2-bedroom cottage on Trudgian Farm near Sticker, sleeping 4. The property has accessible features throughout, making it one of the more practical options in the mid-Cornwall area for guests with mobility requirements. It holds a 5-star rating from 79 reviews - the highest volume of ratings among properties in this part of St Austell.

The layout gives a double and a twin bedroom sharing one bathroom. Outside, a private decking area with BBQ table overlooks the garden. Inside practicalities cover Wi-Fi, dishwasher, and washing machine - all included in the weekly rate. Saturday changeover.

Pentewan Beach is 4 miles east - nearly a mile of south-facing sand with lifeguards in summer, and a flat cycling path from St Austell runs close by. Mevagissey harbour is a similar distance. The Eden Project is 4 miles north, and Charlestown's Georgian harbour - filmed as Poldark's Truro - is around 20 minutes by car. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are just south of Sticker, within 10 minutes.

**Best for:** Accessible breaks in mid-Cornwall for groups wanting easy access to both the Eden Project and south coast beaches. Couples and families of 4.

**Less good for:** Those wanting to walk to the sea - the nearest beach is a 4-mile drive. No hot tub or evening fire feature.
