Pier House Cornwall Hotel and Restaurant in St Austell Cornwall
Genius Loci Comments on The Pier House Hotel
Very convenient for the Eden Project which is only 4.5 miles away and also close to one of our favourite places Menabily. Good food and a traditional bar very Cornish and the whole port steeped in history. For kids there are pirate ships, rock pools and the sea right in front of the Pier House.

Situated on the South West coastal path you can take a stroll over the cliff tops to Porthpean Beach and village or to Carlyon Bay in the opposite direction. Charlestown beaches are a pebbles throw from the hotel where swimming is safe and at low tide children can enjoy exploring the many rock pools.

The History
Charlestown is a Georgian port remaining relatively unspoilt and undeveloped
reflecting how many West Country ports and fishing coves looked prior to
development being one of the finest late 18th and early 19th century industrial
harbour sites in the country.
A location for many period films and dramas
In 1993 the harbour was purchased by Square Sail Shipyard and became the home of the tall ships which are used for many films, including:
Moll Flanders, Return to Treasure Island, The Eagle Has Landed, Shackleton's Endurance, Frenchman's Creek, Odyssey, The Onedin Line, The Three Musketeers, Mansfield Park Longitude, A Respectable Trade and Rebecca
We have a fully prepared function room and facilities
available. We can accommodate small parties up to 90 persons, ideal for your
weddings and functions in Cornwall.
