The growing popularity of short break staycations
A rich tapestry of historical stories intermingled with modern day drama
Charlestown is as picturesque as it gets and wherever you are in this World Heritage Site, it packs a pretty punch. Textural and layered, yet quiet and calming, its industrial features are comfortable bedfellows with its dramatic, natural setting. Conceived in 1792 as a seaport for the copper, clay and pilchard fishing industries, today’s Charlestown features arresting Tall Ships, candy coloured fishermen’s cottages and time-worn cobblestones. It’s this enigmatic aesthetic that has attracted countless film and TV location scouts, meaning you’re just as likely to glimpse movie stars taking a break, as you are to see salty local fisherman reeling in their daily catch. Beyond the harbour lies a sheltered beach, ready-made for wild swimming. A short wander in either direction immediately immerses one in the lush countryside that borders the cove-sprinkled South East Cornish coast. Charlestown’s countless charms have drawn-in passionate entrepreneurs who have carved out trendy restaurants, wine- bars, delis and coffee shops. The resultant cultural and foodie vibe creates the perfect destination for 21st Century boutique harbour living. Now The Nest, provides a subtle nod to the ‘Crow’s Nests’ atop the Charlestown Tall Ships whilst delivering a new contemporary Cornish design-driven lifestyle opportunity.
Now is the time to invest in Charlestown’s foundations to gain not only from all the national acclaim, but also the fortuitous British trend of more shorter breaks, at home. Some of the main benefits of staying in a self catering property as opposed to a hotel room are that they offer on average 30% more space, more privacy, and are more cost-effective in terms of there being no extra hidden costs and fully equipped kitchens reduces meal expenses. The evidence of their popularity lies in occupancy rates. self-catering accommodation in the UK averaged an 81% occupancy rate in 2019, and outperformed hotel rooms which stood at 77.2%. The days are long gone when Cornwall’s popularity is just limited to summer visitors. It is now considered a year round destination.
