It is approached by a private driveway which leads to Polmear Farm and where allocated parking is available, including EV charger. The cottage itself is at the end of what was the original cattle barn when it was a working farm and can sleep up to six people. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a spacious hallway leading to the main bathroom and two bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room. At the far end of the barn is the open plan living/dining and well equipped kitchen area, exposing beautiful beamed ceilings. From here, guests can open doors onto what can only be described as the most stunning and spacious conservatory. A built in shrubbery area aligns the inside conservatory wall housing Mediterranean type plants and lighting giving a warm, Spanish feel. The main dining table and a cosy sofa are also within this room and is perfect for enjoying the surrounding views of lush lawns and breath taking views. Outside the front of Dolphin Cottage is a lawn area and private garden seating with dining furniture, parasol and BBQ - perfect for alfresco dining on a Summer's evening. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the sea ### Things to do - Foosball table - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Electric car charging station - Garden ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34030000/34025400/34025314/2b3bbd84.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mona's Cottage - Private Parking, Sea Views, Garden & Close To Harbour & Beach St Austell - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 57 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=34025314&PinnedHotelID=34025314&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94800000/94792600/94792591/e01a8b3a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sea Breeze by Interhome Charlestown - Kitchen - Washer - Outdoor space - Parking available 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=94792591&PinnedHotelID=94792591&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/46000000/45780000/45771300/45771255/3f42a552.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stunning Sea/Harbour Views in a Beautiful Stone Built Cottage - Village Location St Austell - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 135 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=45771255&PinnedHotelID=45771255&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101590000/101587800/101587757/a18b19f3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Romantic seaside cottage overlooking harbour with free on site parking for one St austell - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=101587757&PinnedHotelID=101587757&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32580000/32579600/32579507/7bfd4b16.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Carole's Cottage - Private Parking, Sea Views, Garden & Close To Harbour & Beach st austell - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 41 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=32579507&PinnedHotelID=32579507&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68940000/68933300/68933246/bf1fd8c6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Traditional Cornish Cottage on Charlestown Harbour, parking, beach & pubs St Austell - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=68933246&PinnedHotelID=68933246&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100180000/100173300/100173295/d2b17229.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stunning property in amazing location near harbour/beach!

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen B. Jul 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I highly recommended this beautiful cottage. Its a unique old building which has been sympathetically modernised to a high standard. There is plenty of parking which is a rarity in Charlestown and it is set in beautiful, well maintained gardens. This hidden gem in the heart of Charlestown is only a stones throw from the historic harbour, beach, cliff walks and numerous restaurants, bars and cafes. Contact with the host was excellent. ##### Helen B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stuart b.

Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shirley H. May 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Charlestown Our stay in Dolphin cottage was blessed with wonderful weather so we were able to take advantage of the lovely outside gardens and great location of the cottage. It is surrounded by grassy areas , some communal but Dolphin had significant private gardens as well. The cottage location was a 2 minute stroll from the centre of Charlestown and all its lovely shops, restaurants and bars. Inside the cottage is well presented and spacious. Kitchen area is in a wonderful rotunda style room and though small has everything you need. Only a small sitting area but then a huge conservatory with a dining table and seats was a great asset. It was too hot in the daytime but evenings were lovely in there. Bedrooms were snug and nicely furnished with very comfy beds. The en-suite in the double room was not ideal. Very hot and musty smell and very tight for space. The main bathroom was better but again was always very hot and steamy with an inadequate extractor. Otherwise we were delighted with this property and would recommend ##### Shirley H.
