Once a market town St Austell is the central location for visiting the South East of Cornwall. With large attractions such as the Eden Project on the outskirts of St Austell, The Lost Gardens of Heligan a 15 minute drive towards Mevagissey, and Charlestown mere minutes away it provides an ideal base for your travels. The coastal town of Fowey is a simple 20 minutes drive past the China Clay port of Par, offering fabulous restaurants, galleries and gift shops. A short car ferry across the river takes you on to Polruan. Daphne du Maurier spent her later years in properties in and around Fowey, a festival of her works takes place each May.
St Austell was once the major producer of the worlds China Clay, now with cheaper foreign imports the industry is in decline but The Wheal Martyn China Clay Museum set in two former working pits depicts the countryside in years gone by. Wet weather activities could include the visitor centre at St Austell Brewery, sampling beers and ales made on the premises. The brewery has recently started exporting their products across the Tamar River to England, so you may just find where your favourite brew is made.
The cabin was absolutely amazing value for money. Everything was included with extras too. The cabin was very warm and welcoming and having Sky TV was a bonus during the wet days. The cabin was spotlessly clean and well equipped and very comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone. It was fabulous and that you very much for all the information which make the booking so effortless.

Woodpeckers was lovely, just as described. The chalet was spotless and had all the facilities one needed, the owner was very pleasant and helpful. Thank you - would use you again and would go back to Woodpeckers again.
