Charlies

St Mawes

Atlantic Coast

Charlies is a short walk (up a steep hill) from the centre of the village and has wonderful views across St Mawes Bay to St Anthony Headland and the Lizard. The view is always changing and the sea can be a calm azure blue or an exciting mixture of white horses as they are whipped up into a storm. There are a plethora of yachts at anchor in the harbour and the constant bustle of pleasure boats and ferries is always fascinating to watch. There is a raised deck in the front of Charlies which gets the sun most of the day and is the perfect spot to ...

indulge in a morning coffee. The cottage itself is open plan on the ground floor. The living area, with wood burning stove, is at the front and the kitchen at the rear opens onto a sheltered patio with outside table and chairs for al fresco meals. From the patio steps go up into the welcoming garden at the top of which is a further seating area.

St Mawes is one of the most exclusive traditional villages in Cornwall, with a wealth of activities within close reach including an Historic Castle from the era of Henry VIII, glistening blue waters, bustling beaches, wonderful coastal walks and ferries to different locations. There are a number of excellent pubs, award-winning restaurants and coffee shops in the village and small motor boats, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards are all available for rental (during the season). Additionally The Roseland Peninsula has a huge variety of places to explore. There are lots of beaches (some with golden sands, some with shingle) - all with exciting rock pools to explore. There are secluded coves, towering cliffs and the famous lighthouse of St Anthony (Fraggle Rock for everyone of a certain age!). The artists' haven of Portscatho is well worth a visit, as is Veryan with its famous round houses. Other attractions such as The Eden Project and Charlestown Harbour are under an hour's journey away and Truro Cathedral with its fine music tradition is easily reached.
