About this property
Starfish Cottage is a newly renovated Grade II listed barn conversion, sleeps 2
If you are looking for a romantic Cornish getaway, Starfish Cottage will provide the perfect base for exploring the surrounding area and enjoying the tranquillity of this scenic village.
When approaching the gated estate of Polmear Farm, visitors have access to a private driveway which leads them to their parking space and accommodation. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a unique blend of fresh and stylish decor. Every necessity has been included along with underfloor heating downstairs for the cooler months, whilst the glass frontage of windows give endless sunlight and spectacular views across the front lawn. Within the open plan living space there is a modern and well equipped kitchen, dining table and lounge with doors leading to the outside patio and BBQ area - perfect for some alfresco dining! A separate w.c is also downstairs. A newly carpeted staircase leads guests to the top bedroom which has wooden beams exposing the everlasting character of what this building once was. There is also a large, modern bathroom with separate shower and next to this room is a walk-in-wardrobe. Starfish Cottage really is a five Star hidden gem waiting to be discovered.

Why they chose this property
Charlestown is steeped in history, a World Heritage site and is also part of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). Even better, Starfish Cottage is only a minutes walk from this famous and picturesque harbour which has been used in many TV shows and films, including Poldark. It is surrounded by coffee & gift shops, eateries & watering holes and Charlestown beach. There are nearby coastal walks with stunning views over the sea, cliffs and nearby beaches such as Porthpean and Carloyn Bay where there are many watersports activities on offer. For the even more energetic, Carloyn Bay golf club is nearby too. A short drive from Charlestown is the Eden Project which is a world-renowned eco-tourism destination with biomes housing a vast variety of plant species. It is also here that events and renowned musicians play in concert.
What makes this property unique
Starfish Cottage couldn't be situated in a better position for seeing Charlestown as guests do not need to drive anywhere as everything is on your doorstep. Plenty of parking and an EV charger (small charge for this extra) are available at the property.
