Accommodation
Description
Perfectly located right in the heart of the popular fishing village of Mevagissey, this beautifully-restored terraced cottage is ideally located for all the restaurants, cafes and pubs in the village, as well as being an ideal base for touring South Cornwall's famous coastline.
As soon as you enter the cottage, guests will immediately sense the homely and luxurious feel and appreciate the owner's natural flair for interiors.
The cottage is set over three floors: The ground floor offers a sociable open plan layout with sitting and dining areas with slate floors, and a cosy log-burning stove adding a characterful touch and perfect for the autumn and winter evenings. The ground floor is also where guests can find the well-equipped kitchen which contains all the amenities required for guests to cook up a feast in their self-catering stay.
Stairs lead up to the first floor bedroom with two single beds. The main shower room sits conveniently on the landing next to this bedroom. The next flight of stairs takes you to the second floor master bedroom with king-size bed, dramatic vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and its own en-suite shower room.
Guests are provided with a parking permit for one car for the Willow Car Park in Mevagissey. Guests can also park in front of the cottage to load & unload for a short period when arriving & departing.
Mevagissey is one of the most charming fishing ports of the South Cornish coast with is white and colour-washed cottages perched on the slopes of the hills encircling the two harbours. Many of the old fish cellars in the picturesque village have been converted to modern use but their old strong walls and the unspoilt appearance of the narrow streets retain the character of old Mevagissey. Fishing still remains one of the main occupations for the locals and visitors interested in fishing will be glad to know that many of the boats in the working harbour are available for deep sea angling and shark fishing. Shorter mackerel fishing trips around the bay are also popular.
Much of the coastline adjacent to Mevagissey is cared for by the National Trust and is easily accessible. Guests can visit the ruins of Portgiskey, cottages, cellars, gardens and boatyards, abandoned in the late nineteenth century. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are just outside of the village and the Eden Project is approximately 7 miles away.

We had a really nice week but to be fair most of it was spent outside the property in and around Mevagissey.

Really handily situated near to Mevagissey Harbour and convenient for all the walks around the South West Coast path. The beds were comfortable.

It felt quite ‘tightly’ provisioned for four people for a week - only one loo roll in each bathroom for example, strictly rationed dishwasher tabs. The living room was functional but not honestly super comfortable for a home away from home experiencesee more
It felt quite ‘tightly’ provisioned for four people for a week - only one loo roll in each bathroom for example, strictly rationed dishwasher tabs. The living room was functional but not honestly super comfortable for a home away from home experience. Perfectly fine but compared with other cottage experiences not super homely.

Eigentlich war der ganze Urlaub unglaublich schön. Was etwas nervte, war die Geräuschkulisse im Cottage durch den Entfeuchter, der ständig laufen musste, aber der musste nun mal sein.

Beautiful property with every thought of what you may need to make your stay relaxing. Fully equipped kitchen, all the bedding you could possibly need and TV's upstairs and down. There is even a collection of DVD's to watch. A table for you to sit round to bring the family closer together all be it meals, board games or drawing.
An extremely short walk to everything you'll need, shops, pubs, take outs and dine ins. The harbour is amazing with Bench's to take in the ambiance. |

We would have preferred a sofa, but that's just a personal thing.

There was nothing that we didn't like. There is no parking and access is via a narrow street similarly there is no outside sitting area/garden. However, those points were clear in the description, so not a "real" dislike.
