Chorister's Cottage, rolig beliggenhed i Mevagissey, 6 sovepladser, have & parkering,

I was born about 10 miles from Mevagissey and have fond childhood memories of visiting my friend's Grandmother there, skipping through the streets, eating ice-cream whilst sitting on the rocks near the harbour; pretty much doing the sorts of things that our visitors to Mevagissey still love to do today. As an adult I studied art at Falmouth and remain inspired by the familiar landscapes of the south west. These days I eat less ice cream and walk through the hilly streets and coast paths which is a great way to stay fit and enjoy some amazing scenery. I love how Cornwall, with her tides and unpredictable weather reveals herself serendipitously to those who take the time to explore. For example, during a recent walk I stumbled upon the wreck of the 'Romanie', believed to be the inspiration for Daphne Du Maurier's 'Rebecca'. I hope that if you come to stay at Chorister's Cottage you and your party will take away with you equally fond and inspiring memories.

Having grown up in the St.Austell area, I later moved to Truro and from there began living part time in London. It made sense for me during this time to downsize from my home in Truro to a cottage in my best loved corner of Cornwall. I am delighted to now have my own home here once again. Mevagissey, in my opinion, is one of the few Cornish fishing towns to still retain its integrity as such, it seems little changed since my childhood. I still live partially in London, but knowing that I will always spend some of the year in my home county, my criteria for a second home was to be close to my family and within walking distance of the sea and a pub or restaurant. It is a bonus to be in this part of Cornwall - an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'. Also I wanted easy access to the South West Coast Path. Parking was important as having the convenience of my own car to explore Cornwall and visit friends and family when here is essential. Finally I wanted a comfortable and cosy home with a real fire and a traditional feel; Chorister's Cottage ticks all of those boxes. I look forward to sharing this beautiful part of Cornwall with you. Whenever I return to my cottage it feels like coming home and I aspire to create an ambiance that is comfortable and homely in the hope that my guests will also feel at home whilst there.

In addition to the accommodation inside the cottage there is a delightful garden area at the front which gets the sun for most of the day. Being tucked away behind the old Church of St.Peter, this is a quiet and peaceful setting. The tranquillity of this hidden corner of Mevagissey contrasts with the activity and bustle of the beautiful harbour, yet it is less than a five minute, relatively level walk away. I am a romantic at heart and so the subtle details like the cries of the seagulls and, the birdsong of numerous other wild bird species during my stays here is a joy. In addition, at night time there is usually an owl hooting, bats flitting about the street lamps and when the sky is clear the stars never fail to delight me.
