Stunning Sea/Harbour Views in a Beautiful Stone Built Cottage - Village Location

8/10 Good
"We booked our trip last minute and were pleasantly surprised at the accommodation for the price that we paid. Upstairs there is a small loo separate bath room and two good sized bedrooms with great views across the harbour. The middle floor at road level is the kitchen diner and living room. Downstairs has a double bedroom separate utility, shower room with loo and sun room onto the garden. The property itself is homely and is located in a great position for access to the harbour. The outside space allowed the dogs to do what they like to do in the garden. If you enjoy people watching this is the place for you, just remember to cover up if you are going for a midnight trip to the loo. The house is generally well equipped but be aware that some of the foodstuff in the cabinets is well past its use by date. The parking space available is adequate but we did have a resident complain about us driving through private property to access it. Overall I would recommend the property if you are able bodied and the communication and check in process was seamless."

"Excellent, excellent and excellent is what I would like to say about our stay at this wonderful hotel. I have been to Charlestown before but never stayed. We have a medium sized dog (Sid) that we take everywhere with us, we know that most hotels nowadays are dog friendly but here was (in my opinion) above and beyond. There was a lovely doggy bag in our room with two ceramic bowls a rubber mat, dog treats and a tennis ball which Sid loved. All of the staff were first class and couldn’t be more helpful. The room was great with a comfortable mattress and pillows. We ate dinner and breakfast in the hotel and I thought that the food was very good, we had the sirloin steak which was cooked just right and I thought priced well. The breakfast selection was very good and well cooked and presented. Would I stay there again,ABSOLUTELY."

"What an amazing find!! Martin & Lyn made us feel so welcome and are natural hosts. Super comfy king size bed, a luxurious bathroom (deep free-standing tub & wet room with an amazing shower!), and lots of small touches that set this B&B apart: chocs on the freshly made bed each morning, free bottled water, free delicious coffee, USB sockets by your bed, etc. The attention to detail that Martin & Lyn have put into their decor is wonderful, the whole vibe is eclectic luxury. If you book I can guarantee you’ll enjoy it, this is the best B&B we’ve stayed at. Thanks for sharing your home with us x"

"The Waterwheel Inn was exceptional. We had a garden suite which opened straight out onto the amazing gardens and a small double room. Both were decorated nicely and kept clean. Breakfast was served in the lovely conservatory and was excellent with good choices and nice touches like home-made jams and granola. We ate in the restaurant for dinner several times and had great food every time. Staff were helpful whilst being unobtrusive. Our only suggestion is to advertise the vegan options better as they catered really well for vegans but it was on request rather than being clear on menus."

The hotel is perfectly placed to use as a base for coastal walks and famous local attractions. Breakfasts are generous and freshly prepared, simple food is available in the evening with plenty of local hostelries to pick for an evening out.

"We had a lovely week at the apartment. When we arrived we were welcomed by our friendly host Katrina. Inside the apartment we found a lovely welcome gift of scones, strawberry jam and clotted cream and a bottle of chilled Proseco. The apartment is spotlessly clean and very comfortable, Parking is at a premium in the village and you will soon appreciate the parking space provided with the apartment. The hosts have thought of everything that you are likely to need in the apartment during your stay. There is a gift shop and an excellent coffee shop in the village square. The Ship Inn is an excellent pub and the meals that we had were very good. Lovely beer garden opposite the pub. The beach is only a short walk from the village. We have no reservation about recommending a stay at this apartment in Pentewan."
