The Charterhouse

The Charterhouse is a charming award winning family run Edwardian residence set in a superb coastal spot. Just 100 metres from the seafront and Livermead Beach it also enjoys the quiet, tree lined meadows of Cockington Valley Country Park. The hotel’s eight rooms are arranged to feel intimate and welcoming, while the owners bring a hands on, family atmosphere to every stay. This is a property that combines traditional elegance with modern comfort, offering a sincerely personal level of service that makes guests feel at home from the moment they arrive. Its thoughtful details, from the shared spaces to the small, friendly touches, set the tone for a memorable break. Location is everything here. The address is Cockington Lane, in a peaceful neighbourhood that still keeps you within easy reach of the coast and countryside highlights. Guests can stroll to Livermead Beach for long sands and fresh sea air, then return to the property to unwind in the garden or in the communal lounge. Cockington Valley Park provides a natural backdrop for afternoon walks, while convenient on site parking and reliable free WiFi add practical comfort to a holiday that blends nature with easy access to town and coast. Beach and pool experiences are at the heart of a seaside break. Livermead Beach offers a family friendly stretch for sand play and gentle swims, with the coast just steps from your door. Inside, a swimming pool with sun loungers presents a relaxed alternative on warmer days or when you prefer downtime on site. The pool area sits alongside the garden and patio spaces, so you can move from a swim to a drink in the sun without leaving the comfort of the property. The overall setting invites lazy days and pleasant evenings overlooking green spaces and sea glimpses. Rooms and comfort. The eight rooms mix Edwardian character with everyday practicality. Expect inviting beds, seating corners, and quietly refreshed bathrooms that feature in many photos of the property. Several rooms offer views of the garden or the sea, while others enjoy a calmer street or courtyard outlook. The styling preserves period charm while ensuring modern amenities, so guests can enjoy a restful night followed by a bright morning. Soft textiles, thoughtful lighting, and a calming palette create a restful ambience that suits couples seeking romance and families seeking space alike. The intimate scale of the house ensures attentive service and a sense of privacy that is increasingly rare in larger hotels. Food and drink. Breakfast is a highlight here with options including Continental, Buffet and English or Irish breakfast served in a bright dining area. The relaxed setup supports a slow morning, whether you are heading out for a day by the sea or a countryside adventure. In your room you will often find coffee and tea facilities to start the day in comfort, and the property offers a small selection of non alcoholic drinks in the public areas for a casual afternoon pick me up. This simple, well presented approach to dining and beverage complements the overall ethos of The Charterhouse, where hospitality is both personal and unhurried. Family friendly and flexible. The Charterhouse welcomes children and offers family friendly policies that reflect its warm, home like feel. The maximum occupancy is four guests, which keeps the setting intimate while leaving room for smaller families or groups. Cots and extra beds are available on request, subject to availability, and there are gradual policies around children and bedding to help you plan. The village and beaches nearby provide safe, enjoyable activities for kids, and the quiet neighbourhood helps ensure peaceful nights after busy days. The property also accommodates pets on request, with potential charges, so this is a good option for travellers with four legged companions. Guests can come and go anytime they want, and the minimum age for check in is 18. Wellness and practicality. Guests can enjoy a tranquil base with a garden and meadow views, plus access to a communal lounge and TV room for relaxed evenings in.
