Lovely old cottage overlooking the harbour. Quite narrow staircases but that goes with the age of the property

Nice accommodation with everything you would wish for from a traditional cottage. Nicely modernised and well equipped. Not a property for anyone with limited mobility!

The cottage is ideally located on the cliff front of the harbour. Beautiful sunrises and being on thesunny side meant we had glorious light through the day. Mevagissey is literally on your doorstep with everything you could need for a lovely break.

Beautiful, clean, well equipped cottage in a gorgeous location. Quite a short steep hill to it and the stairs inside are also quite steep (what youd expect from an old fishermans cottage). Car park is really handy and not too far away. We had a lovely week (30/08-06/09) and even the weather behaved!

A lovely house in an excellent location with wonderful views. House with 2 flights of steep stairs kept us fit ! Recommend the Lighthouse cafe for lunches and Harbour Tavern for dinner. Fisherman's Chippie excellent with generous portions.

This is a terrific property to stay in with a wonderful view of Mevagissey harbour. It was easy enough to drive onto the quay to unload luggage, before moving to the car park but double check if you've a very big car. If you've someone in the party who packs 'heavy', then split it across two suitcases. The property is tall and getting a really heavRead morey suitcase up the staircase is not recommended. It's a minor quibble for such a great location with excellent equipment. Hide

You couldn't ask for a more picture perfect location. The cottage was very comfortable and beautifully cleaned ready for our arrival. Arrival instructions were clear and the collection of the parking permit could not have been easier.

We have just spent 7 nights in this wonderful accommodation. What can I say except, amazing!! Everything you could need, a traditional cottage with all modern amenities. Views to die for from every room ( even from the loo!) over the harbour and out to sea. Lovely little suntrap area in the back to relax. Just to be aware the stairs are steep as waRead mores the incline from the harbour but this is the price for a wonderful view. Personally, it was well worth it and I'm now fitter!
