The Times wrote: “Just south of St Austell in Cornwall, Charlestown’s pocket-sized port has doubled as a film set for nearly a century, and now it has a pub with rooms worthy of the setting. Reopened in June 2024 after a top-to-bottom refit, the Pier House stands like a beacon above a tight little knot of schooners and stout granite quays and delivers on its promise of storm-proof hospitality with classy sage green and strawberry bedrooms, posh pub grub and pints of Proper Job IPA. If you’re harbouring thoughts of a stirring seaside break, plot a course towards it.”
