Cove House is more than just a place to stay—it's a welcoming home from which to experience the best of Cornwall.
Located just outside the historic market town of St Austell, Duporth is a peaceful and picturesque coastal area that offers visitors the perfect mix of seclusion and access to some of Cornwall's best-loved destinations. Beyond the beaches, the area is rich in attractions such as the world-renowned Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, and numerous quaint fishing villages like Mevagissey, all within easy reach. The house is a 5 minute drive from the coast path and the wide unspoilt sandy Porthpean beach, great for swimming, peaceful sunbathing or simply soaking up the stunning sea views, it's also great for paddle boarding or exploring the coastline in a kayak. You may even be lucky enough to catch the resident family of seals. Or the famous old port of Charlestown is a 5 minute drive, with 2 sand and pebble beaches and a host of restaurants, cafes, 2 pubs and many artisan shops.

Spotlessly clean & tidy throughout.
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home.
We found it spotlessly clean & tidy throughout.
It is well equipped with everything. The beds were very comfortable. We used the home as a base and spent each day out and about.

Lovely house
A lovely house from which to base our all too brief stay in Cornwall. Very comfortable, kitchen worked well. We enjoyed the Eden project, checked up on family history and the lost garden of Heligan. Very delicious dinner at Polgooth Inn, atmosphere so different to Australia! Would love to come again to Cove house.

Clean and cosy house.
It was our first visit to Cornwall. We enjoyed every day! Cove house is an amazing place. It makes you feel at home, not in a hotel lor rented accommodation. Clean and cosy house. Thank you for the welcome gift, it was very nice!
