Guests say
Flat 18 Pochin House in St Austell offers a comfortable and spacious stay with great views, well-equipped for exploring nearby attractions like the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. While some guests found the flat to be clean and in great condition, others noted areas for improvement in cleanliness and maintenance.
Reviews on cleanliness are mixed, with some guests satisfied and others pointing out issues such as cobwebs, dirty appliances, and a lack of cleaning supplies. This suggests room for improvement.
The location is praised for its proximity to local attractions and coastal walks, making it a great base for exploring the area. However, the lack of immediate dog exercise areas slightly impacts the score.
Guests describe the flat as spacious and comfortable, but some concerns about the size of the en-suite shower and accessibility features for those with disabilities have been raised.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and added bonuses like an air fryer. However, some guests noted a lack of cooking equipment and issues with maintenance.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Pochin House plays host to a selection of stylish, modern apartments set in a private complex, with access through an electric wrought iron gateway. Within the once thriving mining town of St Austell an original chimney from Lovering’s Clay Dry still sits tall with the grounds. At its height, china clay mining was a huge industry in the area.
From your private parking space, a few steps take you into the house, where on the first floor you will find your holiday home. Once inside, you are greeted by a comfortable, inviting living room with three sofas so you will have plenty of space to stretch out and relax. The kitchen/dining room is a gloriously bright room, with an expansive set of angled windows with far reaching views. There is an abundance of work surface space, storage and high level of equipment, including a separate utility room. A kitchen table adorns the centre of this impressive room. There are two bedrooms, one with twin beds, the other with kingsize bed and en-suite bathroom comprising a curved corner shower. A further family bathroom boasts a bath with electric shower over.
Within easy reach of your location is the world-famous Eden Project, a huge indoor rainforest and tropical gardens beneath state-of-the art-Biomes. The fascinating Wheal Martyn Clay Works Museum takes you back to the industry for which the area was recognised and revered globally. The beaches at Carlyon Bay, Duporth and Par have expanses of white to golden sand, coves and cliff top walks. Charlestown transports you back to a time when tall ships would depart to far off shores and still has a small fleet of these beautiful vessels today. Here there are restaurants and pubs, and the Shipwreck Museum is well worth a visit. St Austell has a large range of shops and eateries, whilst a little along the coast lies Fowey within an area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You will find narrow streets, boutique shops and superb architecture, superb sea views and its very own wonderfully named Readymoney Cove.

An enjoyable stay with great views from the kitchen but : more cooking equipment would have helped , for example, we bought a frying pan (which we left), a steamer basket was available yet with no pan to go with it. My husband left a message with the contact number we were given but received no response. Visitors staying with dogs need to be aware that exercising them within the grounds is forbidden. There are no places to exercise dogs in the immediate area. The flat is within gated grounds so visitors should be prepared to walk a distance to exercise their dog/s. If visitors enjoy coastal walks and visiting gardens, for example, Pinetum gardens, Heligan and Eden project, all are within easy driving distance.
