The Space:
A modern first floor apartment finished to a high standard and set within a private gated community in Carlyon Bay. Inside, find a spacious kitchen with plenty of mod cons, including a 5 ring gas hob, washer/dryer, dishwasher and coffee machine. This overlooks the open plan, newly furnished living and dining space with a large farmhouse table, sofas and a smart TV with Apps. There are also two free private parking spaces.

The bedrooms are all equally as spacious and well equipped, with room to sleep 5 guests. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and a small double sofa bed, as well as a dressing table. The second bedroom has plenty of flexibility with twin beds, which can also be made up as a super king, and a single sofa bed. This bedroom also features a desk, computer monitor and supportive chair for those visiting on a working holiday. The bedrooms share a light family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower.

A real highlight of this property is its proximity to the coast. Carlyon Bay Beach is only a 5 minute walk away and beautiful coastal path walks, such as a 30 minute scenic walk to the historic Charlestown Harbour, are accessible from the doorstep. The apartment also benefits from shared gardens with a communal seating area and rotary washing lines.

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the whole flat and private gardens.

The Neighborhood:
The apartment is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk to Carlyon Bay beach, a long sand beach perfect for swimming, walking or just relaxing. In the summer months, you'll find a selection of trendy pop-ups on the beach serving local food and drinks, as well as a water sports hub if you fancy hiring a stand-up paddle board or exploring the bay by jet ski. Walking from the apartment in the other direction for around 10 minutes gets you to one of the top-rated restaurants in Cornwall, Edie's Kitchen. Golfers and those looking to relax are in for a treat with Carlyon Bay Golf Club and Hotel Spa on the doorstep.

The nearby town of Charlestown is renowned for its setting in the popular BBC drama Poldark. The historical Georgian port still retains much of its traditional character, and you'll often spot beautiful wooden tallships in the harbour. There are a number of great restaurants here and lovely spots for evening drinks by the water. This can be reached within a 30 minute walk.

The famous Eden Project is also just a 10-minute drive from the apartment, and is a must-see for new comers to Cornwall. The two large geodomes house plants that have been collected from many diverse climates and environments. It is a brilliant day out for all ages, and there are often live music nights that take place during summer.

The Lost Gardens of Heligan are another unique attraction to the area and only a 20-minute drive. Abandoned since the outbreak of WW1, the estate was re-awakened in 1990 to become Europe’s largest garden restoration project. Today Heligan’s 200 acres are a paradise for wildlife and plant lovers.

Fowey is one of the most idyllic towns in Cornwall and is just a short 15-minute drive away. It is located in an Area of Outstanding Beauty and has stunning views out over the estuary and the Cornish countryside. There is a brilliant selection of boutique shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs within the town. There is also a famous regatta that takes place in summer, which is a brilliant day out for the whole family. The fishing town of Mevagissey is also a short drive away, and has a great selection of pubs, cafes and restaurants.

You're in the perfect spot to explore more of South Cornwall's gorgeous beaches, many of which are quiet even during the summer months. Nearby are Porthpean and Polkerris, or head a little further to Pentewan Sands, Gorran Haven, Caerhaeys and Vault Beach. Hikers will love exploring this remote part of Cornwall, and there are ample coastal paths spanning all the way from Carlyon Bay down to Lands End.

Getting Around:
The apartment has 2 private parking spaces within the gated grounds for those who wish to drive. You're also conveniently located close to St Austell train station, which has regular trains running direct to and from Exeter, Bristol and London Paddington. A 20-minute bus journey will then take you from the station to a bus stop just outside the apartment.

Other Things to Note:
The apartment is all one one level and situated on the upper floor of a two storey property.

This property is a lovely large apartment set in Carlyon Bay. Walking distance to the beach (although steep steps) and to a row of small restaurants - Edie's is great but book! The communication was great and very detailed. Would return!

Perfect location
Our location was perfect for our stay and most things were provided. I would have liked an iron and communication on wifi. The property could also do with some fans, as it could become very stuffy on warm days.

Apartment located in a quiet compound with 8-10 apartments. Walking distance to beach and cliffs, very easy to reach nearby cities. Everything provided, from first day's coffee to towels to beach chairs - just have to read pre-arrival information thoroughly to know where to find everything. Would go back again.

Great Location
This first floor apartment is in a very nice area. Bus stop is right outside to Fowey or a longer trip to Newquay. Carlyon Bay beach is a 5 min walk from the apartment. The beach is very nice and has a few eating places actually on the beach during the summer months. The fact that we could park our car in the grounds of the apartment was a huge bonus. The spacious apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay. As it is in a small complex for over 50’s age group, it is extremely quiet and has a charming garden. The bed was very comfortable and we slept very well all week. Please note when using the shower the hot water needs to be run for a while before it is hot enough to use. The light on the bathroom cabinet was very useful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend it to anyone wishing to visit this lovely part of Cornwall.

Nice flat near beach, hotel, and golf course
Communication with the host was very good. Neighbors were wonderful. The flat feels very secure with a gate and a locked access door to the stairs to the flat. As this flat is the only holiday let in the building, the neighbors were grateful the guest quality is much better with the new host. Having the hotel nearby was wonderful for afternoon teas and spa days. If you are over 6 feet, pay attention to the photos, as there are low eaves throughout. Besides the facilities listed in the description, the starter items provided were as follows: 1 J cloth 1 dish sponge A travel size bottle of washing up liquid 1 dishwasher tab 1 bin bag 2 loo rolls Salt and pepper This is a lovely, quiet flat in a very wonderful part of the world.

Smaller than the flat looked in the photos, but plenty big enough for us. Located almost opposite the Carlyon Hotel and close to the coastal path to Charlestown just one mile away.
