Perks for the Parents
This original wing of a Grade II Georgian villa overlooks Charlestown harbor and its tall ships. It has a pair of magnificent sea view bedrooms both with super king beds and luxurious ensuite bathrooms. The thoughtful owners, Antonia and David, can help with everything from babysitters to home-cooked meals and an in-home spa experience. Luxurious touches include White Company linens and blankets. Every room has a great view. In the dining room, the huge oak table is perfect for a large Cornish breakfast or a candlelit supper. The bathrooms have baths and power showers and there is a hot outside shower, ideal after a long day at the beach.
Why Kids Love it
This historic home is delightful for children who can spy boats from the living room window and marvel at swordfish bills on the mantelpiece. Nearby activities are family-oriented: there are 2 beaches in Charlestown, plus ice cream shops, a small museum and boats in the harbor. The Eden Project, Cornwall’s most-visited family attraction, is just a short drive away. The primary bedroom has a small interconnecting study that can be made up as a child’s room with a single or bunk bed. It is particularly well kitted out for babies and toddlers, with provisions including: socket covers, baby monitor, sterilizer, change mat, stair gates, Trip Trapp high chair, JoJo Maman Bebe play mats, travel crib, dinnerware, potty, McLaren single stroller, baby bath and food blender.
