This was our second visit and we had another lovely stay. Such a comfortable property with everything you need for a get-away. We absolutely love Mevagissey and the cottage is so relaxing and just a stones throw away from the harbour. We will definitely be back!

The cottage delivered a fantastic Cornish experience which we will cherish for years to come. It has authentic character and charm while still having all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Just be ready for a few tight stairs.Mevagissey and the surrounding area has a lot to offer, providing a wonderful mix of natural beauty and amazing history.

What an awesome place! It was much larger than we thought split over 3 levels. Middle one has the front room and kitchen, downstairs twin room plus sun room and bathroom. Top floor twin room and king bed plus shower/bath and separate toilet. Beds were extremely comfy too. So close to all the amenities.
