About this property
Penang, a stunning, detached property rests in the town of St Austell, Cornwall, featuring picturesque gardens and off-road parking, offering a delightful abode for a family or group of friends. Framed by mature trees, be welcomed into Penang, finding a spacious hallway with a piano. From here, make your way into a charming sitting room with the added ambience of a woodburning stove, and from here, find a conservatory/snug, ideal for curling up with a good book. When mealtimes call, head over to the spacious kitchen/diner, a light and airy room with plenty of amenities to cater to your culinary needs, and a space for guests to enjoy a hearty meal together. As the evening wears on, freshen up in a contemporary ground-floor shower room or enjoy a soak in the bathtub, before settling into either a ground-floor double, a second double, a twin or a single, each with storage for your belongings. With palm trees, pretty mature shrubs, a raised lawn space and a patio with a barbecue, the garden is the ideal spot for alfresco dining, and guests can enjoy a tipple in the evening sunshine at the raised decking area whilst reflecting on their day. In the garden there is also the added bonus of a gym with a handy cloakroom. St Austell is a delightful Cornish town with a variety of amenities and attractions for guests to enjoy, including riverside walks, and a selection of tasty eateries, pubs, and convenience stores for all of your holiday essentials. For a day at the seaside, you will be spoilt for choice by the lovely beaches close by, including the sandy Duporth Beach, the picturesque Porthpean Beach, Carlyon Bay and Vault Beach. There is also a great selection of coastal walks available, following the scenic headlands of Cornwall and passing interesting sites such as St Catherine's Castle, along the way. Visit Fowey Aquarium to learn more about local wildlife, or head over to the incredible Eden Project. Walk through Treffry Viaduct, St Breock Downs Monolith, visit the Screech Owl Sanctuary or explore The Roseland Heritage Coast. All of this and so much more with a stay at the beautiful Penang.
Sitting peacefully in the beautiful county of Cornwall just a mile from the south coast with its numerous sheltered, sandy, beaches, you will find the historic market town of St Austell. Filled with a range of pubs and bars, scrumptious local eateries, St Austell has a train station on the mainline connecting you easily to Truro and on down to Penzance. Newquay can also be reached by train via a quick change at nearby Par. St Austell’s central location in Cornwall provides the perfect setting for your next holiday to the Southwest. Spend your days on exciting outings to such attractions as The Eden Project or the nearby historical port of Charlestown, where you can see artefacts recovered from local ship wrecks at the Shipwreck Treasure Museum. Head to Porthpean Beach for a tranquil walk along the soft sands or hire a kayak for a paddle in the calm, crystal clear waters, before pampering yourself at The Clearing Spa or enjoying a quick nine holes at St Austell Golf Club.

Penang served our purposes well. We were hiking in the area while also working, and with no car, we appreciated the proximity to buses and trains, as well as lots of meal options ... even a Tesco Express over the road. The Wi-Fi worked well with both of us working and holding virtual meetings, and the house was very comfortable and well suited for two people working. Lots of space (even more than we had anticipated in the description). Everything we needed in the kitchen. Unfortunately, given the time of year, we did not get to make use of the outdoor amenities or the garden room, so can't really comment on them. However, we did enjoy being able to have a fire on a couple of chilly nights. Despite the proximity to the road, the house's elevation, plantings and good windows meant that we were not at all disturbed by any noise when we were inside.

Penang is a truly lovely property, with everything you need for a comfortable holiday. A real feeling of luxury, peace, space and light, whilst also being warm and cosy. The facilities, decor, bedding, towels and garden are all beautiful and very well thought out. We would highly recommend a stay here. We were visiting the Eden Project and Heligan, so perfectly located for this. The local beaches are wonderful. We were a mixed bunch of adults, teens and our old Labrador, and we all felt very at-home and had a wonderful stay.
