St Austell family friendly sleeps 6

Three bedroom family friendly coastal cottage in St Austell just a short walk to the beaches at Duporth and Porthpean and half a mile from the harbour side village of Charlestown.

Within a short walk of the beaches at Duporth and Porthpean and half a mile from the famous 18th century harbour side village of Charlestown, a world heritage site, this former gate house to the Charles Rashleigh Estate at Duporth has been lovingly and sympathetically restored. The woodland walks from the lodge take you to a resident only private beach of Duporth so it will be relatively quiet and a perfect base for a beach day.

This lodge provides a comfortable family home furnished to a very high standard and has been awarded both a Visit England 4* Gold and Green Tourism Silver Awards with a newly installed type 2 electric car charging point and electricity energy supply.

The property retains many of the original features and is a great base to explore the many villages, attractions, walks and beaches the South Coast has to offer. Duporth Lodge is ideal too for an out of season stay for couples in need of some much needed R&R with the adaptable property able to provide a cosy and comfortable base for two.

A garden hugs three sides of the property with a double garage for storage of bikes and beach gear and where you’ll find a good selection of outdoor games.

As part of the owners continuous drive to make Duporth Lodge as sustainable a holiday experience as possible we are delighted to have installed a 9 x Sunpower 415 W solar panel system. This 3.735kWp array working alongside a GivEnergy 5.2kWh battery was installed in February 2024 and is predicted to provide over 48% of Duporth Lodge’s electricity needs. The panels have been placed discretely on the garage roof with the battery and inverters tucked away in the corner of the garage. Guests arriving at Duporth Lodge in their electric cars could be powering their cars with Cornish sunshine!

Parking
There is parking for three cars and when the driveway is gated the grounds are enclosed.
