    We came to The Potting Shed with quite high expectations. It seemed almost impossible to live up to the positive reviews. But it was actually even better. The house is spotless and equipped with everything you need. It was perfect in summertime...

We love to have guests visiting and enjoying the tranquillity of our garden. Also we enjoy hearing about guests travels and adventures during their stay. To be animal friendly is advised! You are located in our family garden and we have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 3 chickens. The dogs are fenced into our side but will want to meet and greet over the fence. The cats are free range and the chickens are in a walled garden close by (no cockerel you will be pleased to hear.) This property suits couples or individuals who love the outdoors, its located closed to The Eden Project with its numerous footpaths and cycle trails. A place for peace, relaxation yet convenient for exploring. The south coast and Charlestown Harbour is a 5 minute drive, Fowey and Lostwithiel 20 minutes, Heligan 20 and the North Coast and Bodmin Moor approx. 30/40 minutes (traffic dependant). Also a perfect Winter retreat, with great leaf crunching walks and storm watching beaches, together with pubs, hotels and restaurants offering cosy fireside lunches and evening meals. Cornwall is stunning in every season!
Tregrehan Village is close to St Austell town. The Potting Shed is set in a rural setting yet close to the village and amenities beyond. The Eden Project is in walking distance via their network of footpaths and cycle trails. The Historic Port of Charlestown is the closest for the beach, food and drinks! It’s very popular and full of Cornish charm with various places to eat depending on budget. All of which are very good and most have outside options as well. Sam’s on the Beach at Polkerris is really lovely for lunch or evening (you will need to book for inside dining!). Fowey and Mevagissey are both popular and worth a visit , there is a water taxi between the two so you can do both in a day. Fowey you can hire self drive boats up the river or if you are more active you can hire paddle boards. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are lovely and close to a great beach and cafe at Caerhays, often has live music at the end of the day. There are a few pop up food stalls at Carlyon Bay and water sports. I’m sure you will find loads to explore. Certainly happy to advise if you spot something I’ve not mentioned or need a review on anywhere!
