Maison Brun

Maison Brun is a 2-bedroom village house in Charlestown, sleeping 4 across a twin and a king-size bedroom with en-suite shower room. The property sits a short walk from the 18th-century Georgian harbour that served as a Poldark filming location - one of the most recognisable working harbours on the south coast of Cornwall. The first-floor open-plan kitchen, lounge, and dining area has a Smart TV and dishwasher, and an EV charging point is on-site alongside garage parking.

The garden is private and the property is dog-friendly. Charlestown Beach is 0.9km on foot. Carlyon Bay, the wide sandy beach at St Austell Bay, is 1.3km, and Porthpean Beach is 1.5km further. The Eden Project is under 10 miles and the Lost Gardens of Heligan under 7 miles, giving good access to two of Cornwall's most-visited attractions without a long drive.

Best for couples or small families who want a historic village setting within easy reach of south Cornwall's beaches. The EV charger is a practical draw for electric vehicle users touring the county. Less good for anyone wanting a remote rural retreat - Charlestown is a village with foot traffic and the harbour can be busy in summer.

The property is rated 4.7 from 21 guest reviews. St Austell town centre is around 2 miles for larger supermarkets, a railway station, and access to bus routes. Charlestown itself has two pubs, a restaurant, and a dive and shipwreck centre alongside the Georgian harbour - the latter used as a backdrop in several television and film productions. The bedrooms are on separate floors, giving two couples reasonable privacy within the layout.
