"Clean rooms, lived the Earl Grey teas. Breakfast was very good, my wife often ordered from the menu. Staff were attentive, reception always smiled. Grounds were clean, the pool looked inviting, would have definitely used in warmer days. Although the room was very clean the shower was all open plan with the bedroom, which was strange. The sink could have been deeper made shaving difficult. All very modern but not practical. But none of that spoiled our long weekend. Would go again especially as its do close to the Eden Project."

A charming Grade II listed barn conversion in Charlestown

A charming Grade II listed barn conversion in Charlestown

10/10 Excellent
"We were looking for a cottage that allowed two couples space and amenities as well as being close to pubs and restaurants. Dolphin Cottage was everything we had set out to find. Plenty of room for us all and plenty to do in Charlestown so we could all have a drink or two out. The pubs and restaurants in Charlestown are all excellent. We travelled by car mainly but also took the train from St Austell to St Ives which was a very easy day trip. We were also able to walk a small part of the coastal footpath with some amazing views. I would highly recommend Dolphin cottage and also the associated cottages in Charlestown. Thank you Emma for making our stay a very memorable one."
