Overview

Harbour Lights is a truly unique luxury retreat overlooking the historic harbour village of Charlestown, one of Cornwall’s most picturesque and sought-after coastal destinations. Featured on Channel 4’s George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces, this remarkable property combines stunning architecture, exceptional comfort and breathtaking sea views to create an unforgettable escape for couples, families and their four-legged companions.

Step inside and discover a beautifully designed open-plan living space, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the ever-changing views across the harbour and sea. The cosy log-burning stove creates the perfect setting for relaxed evenings together, whether you’re enjoying a family meal, curling up with a book, or simply watching the boats drift in and out of the harbour.

Outside, Harbour Lights truly comes into its own. The beautifully landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the spectacular setting, offering multiple places to sit, relax and soak up the coastal atmosphere. After a day spent exploring Cornwall’s beaches and coastal paths, rinse off under the outdoor slate shower before slipping into your private hot tub with a glass of wine and watching the sun set over the water.

For those who love outdoor dining, Harbour Lights features a premium Big Green Egg barbecue, allowing you to enjoy everything from leisurely breakfasts in the sunshine to long summer evenings cooking fresh local seafood while admiring the harbour views.

Harbour Lights is also wonderfully dog-friendly. The property benefits from a secure enclosed patio area, allowing dogs to safely enjoy the outdoors while you relax. In addition, there is a larger garden opposite the South West Coast Path, providing plenty of extra space to stretch their legs and enjoy the sea air. While this additional garden is not fully enclosed, it offers a lovely spot to sit and take in the views, and gives direct access to some of Cornwall’s most spectacular coastal walks.

The luxurious master suite is a destination in itself. Wake up to sea views and enjoy a soak in the beautiful freestanding bath positioned at the foot of the bed, perfectly placed to take in the stunning coastal scenery. Sumptuous furnishings, high-quality linens and thoughtful touches throughout ensure a restful and indulgent stay.

When you fancy a quiet evening indoors, you’ll find satellite television, complimentary WiFi, a Sonos sound system and comfortable seating areas designed for relaxation. Whether your idea of a perfect holiday is listening to music, watching a favourite film or simply enjoying the peace and tranquillity of your surroundings, Harbour Lights provides the perfect setting.

Perfectly positioned on Cornwall’s south coast, Harbour Lights is also ideally located for exploring some of the county’s most famous attractions. The world-renowned The Lost Gardens of Heligan are just a short drive away, with their enchanting gardens, woodland walks and historic estate. Equally close is the iconic Eden Project, home to its spectacular biomes, beautiful gardens and year-round events. Combined with the beaches, harbour towns and coastal paths nearby, you’ll be spoilt for choice when planning days out.

Location

Local Area

We’d love to share with you some of our favourite things to do locally, in the village and beyond… Some things that you won’t find in any tourist brochures!!

A delightful and much sought-after coastal village of stone cottages and Regency houses, on the South Cornish Coast near St. Austell.

Charlestown is famous for its collection of tall ships riding at anchor in the harbour, the shipwreck museum, excellent pubs and restaurants and easy access to the coastal path – It really is the perfect holiday destination.

It has even been used as a filming location, most well known for appearing in Poldark, but also for BBC 1 Series; Taboo, and films such as Alice in Wonderland, Rebecca, and Treasure Island.

The area is rich in golf courses with Carlyon Bay and Porthpean close by. Ladies, whilst waiting for your man to finish his round, make the most of the divine spa facilities at Carlyon Bay; a real treat.

The picturesque fishing village of Mevagissey which has been featured recently on Rick Steins’ Cornwall TV program, is just a 20 minutes’ drive away by car, while the Lost Gardens of Heligan, several stately homes and gardens and the fabulous Eden Project are all within 5 miles.

Dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World by some, Eden is not only a fascinating location, but, more importantly, a fun and family-friendly day out

Curious kids can discover where tea, rubber and sugar come from, and travel the world to the simulated environments of tropical destinations that they dream of traveling to in the future. There are themed events throughout the seasons, workshops for adults and children, activity days, music concerts and much more, including Ice Skating in the Biomes during the Winter months.

For another day of exploration, step back in time and lose yourself in Europe’s largest garden restoration; a world of romance, heritage and adventure, at The Lost Gardens of Heligan.

Rope bridges, bamboo gardens, The Giant’s Head, and Maori-carved tree ferns and all wait to be discovered, allowing imaginations, big and small, to run wild.

A trip to Cornwall isn’t complete without some beach time, so take the pooch to one of the plethora where they’re permitted all year round (Always check seasonal bans), including Gorran Haven’s Vault Beach, Porthluney Beach and Hemmick Beach; Mevagissey’s Polstreath and Colona Beaches; and St Austell’s Coome Haven, Par Sands and Hallane Beaches.

Don’t forget the world-renowned South West Coast path for some soul-stirring walking routes that your dog will adore. Try Charlestown to Porthpean, Mevagissey to Charlestown, Trelissick’s woodland walk, Pentewan Valley Trail and Luxulyan Valley.

During your holiday in Charlestown, whether you fancy a gorgeous garden one day, a gallery or museum the next, or perhaps something a little more active – surf schools, boat trips, cliff top walking, cycling…You really are spoilt for choice here.
