Little Avallen is an annexe to the owner’s property next door and has wonderful views across the glistening bay from Trenarren to Gribbin Headland. The accommodation is open plan on the ground floor with stylishly decorated living areas for relaxing in after a busy day and a modern kitchen that any budding chef on holiday will love cooking in. Downstairs the twin bedroom is to the rear, with south-facing panoramic patio, perfect for chilling with a glass of wine and enjoying the evening sun. Upstairs is the master bedroom with a double bed and en-suite shower room.
Little Avallen has a superb location in Carlyon Bay with Charlestown, Pentewan and Mevagissey to the west, St Austell to the north and Fowey to the east. Having largely resisted the modernisation and commercialisation of some other popular destinations, Charlestown has held onto its unique, quintessential Cornish charm. Steeped in history, no visit would be complete without a trip to the Charlestown Shipwreck and Heritage Centre. Aside from the museum, Charlestown also has a couple of art galleries, a harbourside pub boasting excellent views, a small sandy beach, and many small shops to browse your way through.
Fowey is one of the most iconic places in Cornwall. Views of the harbour are dramatic, just watching the activities in the harbour can keep you occupied for many hours! Life in Fowey revolves around the water. The local fishing fleet land the freshest catches, and local specialities include mussels, oysters, clams, crab & lobster. There are some great restaurants and pubs around and nearby. Life on the water culminates in the middle of August with the Fowey Regatta Week.
The Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project are within an easy drive, and so this is an excellent location for the keen gardener. You can continue south along the coast down to Caerhays Castle and Porthluney Cove. Cliff walks in all directions along the coast offer spectacular views out across the St Austell Bay, with the coastal path only a few minutes’ walk away. Beach 1 mile.
