10/10 Excellent
"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."

Duporth Lodge - Three Bedroom Cottage, Sleeps 6

10/10 Excellent
"Duporth Lodge is a beautiful place to rent, just outside Charlestown. It was spotlessly clean and was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We really appreciated the eco nature of the Lodge and the free products we were given to try, as well as the cream tea! There are plenty of places to sit inside and out, allowing social and alone time. We had a great day at the private beach too. I loved the information about the Lodge, which was fascinating. Duporth Lodge is on top of a hill, and the walk to Charlestown and the beach is steep in places. Its near to Bodmin, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Lanhydrock, and the Eden project. An amazing rental and we had a wonderful holiday here."

10/10 Excellent
"This was a lovely apartment. A bit tricky to find, because the address isn't directly visible from the street, but other than that, it was great. Quiet, clean, comfortable and well-stocked. The five minute walk to the private beach was a real treat, and there's a massive ASDA only fifteen minutes' walk away. Really great for a working holiday."
