Charlestown is often associated with its role in the filming of various movies and TV shows, including Poldark, due to its well-preserved waterfront and 18th-century atmosphere. Turtle cottage is approached by a private driveway which leads to Polmear Farm and where allocated parking is available, including EV charger. It is a mid-terrace barn with 3ft thick exposed granite and cob walls making it very sound proof. Upon entering, guests are greeted by an open plan living area with vaulted ceiling, oozing character and warmth, creating a home from home feeling making it the perfect getaway. The living area consists of a newly built fully equipped kitchen, dining and lounge area. A corridor leads off the lounge to the main bathroom which has a bath and large walk-in shower. Also on the ground floor is a twin bedroom plus a king bedroom with an en suite shower room. A further spacious super-king (or twin) bedroom is accessed by stairs that lead from the living room up to a mezzanine snug area. The bedroom itself is large and has its original beams, low windows and skylights. Outside the front of Turtle Cottage is a lawn area and a private garden seating area with dining furniture, parasol and BBQ - perfect for alfresco dining on a Summer's evening. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: 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 - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Deck/patio - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 20 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing 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) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Electric car charging station - Garden ## Similar properties ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33590000/33585500/33585500/4eef72f6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gorgeous, quiet, and well situated homely pet friendly cottage Fowey - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 9.6 Exceptional 112 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-16&endDate=2026-02-17&selected=33585500&PinnedHotelID=33585500&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/43000000/42340000/42333600/42333528/f6a74994.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Fowey Fowey - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor Space 9.6 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-16&endDate=2026-02-17&selected=42333528&PinnedHotelID=42333528&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68940000/68933300/68933246/c1154694.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=2026-02-16&endDate=2026-02-17&selected=68933246&PinnedHotelID=68933246&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/85000000/84090000/84082600/84082547/d7142b0f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### SEASPRAY spectacular views, central Fowey, parking Fowey - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Outdoor Space - Parking available 9.0 Wonderful 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-16&endDate=2026-02-17&selected=84082547&PinnedHotelID=84082547&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/43000000/42340000/42333600/42333520/0774ccc7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1 bedroom accommodation in Fowey Fowey - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor Space 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-16&endDate=2026-02-17&selected=42333520&PinnedHotelID=42333520&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35210000/35200900/35200852/da2880e7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cuckoo Tor, Lanteglos, woodland & coastline nearby Lanteglos - Kitchen - Washer - Pet friendly - Outdoor Space 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-16&endDate=2026-02-17&selected=35200852&PinnedHotelID=35200852&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103360000/103357500/103357498/f4ff0964.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Riverside, Fowey.
