Surrounded by beautiful Cornish countryside, Dolphin Cottage is only a minutes walk away from the main harbour which is alive with eateries & watering holes, shops, The Shipwreck Treasure Museum and of course, Charlestown beach. 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.

Dolphin Cottage is approached by a private driveway which leads to Polmear Farm and where allocated parking is available, including EV charger. The cottage itself is at the end of what was the original cattle barn when it was a working farm and can sleep up to six people.

Upon entering, guests are greeted by a spacious hallway leading to the main bathroom and two bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room. At the far end of the barn is the open plan living/dining and well equipped kitchen area, exposing beautiful beamed ceilings. From here, guests can open doors onto what can only be described as the most stunning and spacious conservatory. A built in shrubbery area aligns the inside conservatory wall housing Mediterranean type plants and lighting giving a warm, Spanish feel. The main dining table and a cosy sofa are also within this room and are perfect for enjoying the surrounding views of lush lawns and breath-taking views. Outside the front of Dolphin Cottage is a private garden seating area with dining furniture, parasol and BBQ – perfect for alfresco dining on a Summer’s evening.

Charlestown is steeped in history, a World Heritage site and is also part of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). There are nearby coastal walks with stunning views over the sea, cliffs and nearby beaches such as Porthpean and Carloyn Bay where there are many watersport activities on offer. For the even more energetic, Carloyn Bay golf club is nearby too. A short drive from Charlestown is the Eden Project which is a world-renowned eco-tourism destination with biomes housing a vast variety of plant species. It is also here that events and renowned musicians play in concert.

Next door to Dolphin Cottage is Seagull Cottage (sleeps 6), and Starfish Cottage (sleeps 2). In total there is accommodation on this estate for 14 guests.
