The K Family
We were delighted with The Old Smoke House when we stayed there for a week in June 2024. The house is very well equipped and had everything you might need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen has everything to hand, there is a very spacious sitting room with French windows into the small front garden, and It’s a wonderful view over the harbour/sea from the main bedroom which is spacious and has ample cupboard/drawer space. There is a dedicated parking space allotted to the property which is a bonus in Charlestown which has very little free parking.
