About this property

No.19 - Fabulous 2 Bed Cottage - Outstanding Harbour Views & Parking

Sleeps 2 - 4, close to beaches, SW coastal path and many local attractions

Number 19 has a wonderful location on Polkirt Hill overlooking Mevagissey's bustling harbour and beach.

The historic port of Mevagissey with its distinctive twin harbour is a small, unspoilt fishing village, once the centre of Cornwall’s pilchard industry.

It is still very much a busy working harbour and surrounded by narrow, winding streets, full of cafes, pubs, restaurants, shops and galleries.

Close to the South West Coastal Path and several sandy beaches, it is perfect for a family holiday, walking trip, short break or to celebrate a special occasion such as a honeymoon or anniversary. Previous guests have also used the cottage for a longer stay as a base for touring Cornwall.

Ideally situated to visit Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, boat trips, ferry to Fowey, fishing etc

A short stroll down the street takes you to the heart of the village with its wonderful shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes. The cottage does have a well-equipped kitchen for your comfort, with dining table and seating for 4 but with all that is on offer in the village you probably won't want to cook!


The Property:

The cottage has 2 large bedrooms (1 double and 1 twin) and sleeps up to 4 adults.
Both bedrooms have window seats so you can enjoy the spectacular views of the harbour and out to sea.

The Master Bedroom has a comfy armchair next to one of the windows so you can watch the world go by. There is also digital TV with Netflix included.

The Second Bedroom is reached through a door at the top of the main staircase, where a second staircase takes you to the large attic bedroom. With both rear and front dormer windows this twin bedded room is light and airy with outstanding views of the harbour, the lighthouse and out to sea.

Spacious Bathroom: bath with handheld shower attachment and a large walk-in shower cubicle with both overhead and handheld shower fittings.

The Living Room has comfy armchairs, sofa and digital TV with Netflix included.

Free wireless internet access throughout the cottage.


Outside:

We have an outside seating area at the rear of the property with table & chairs, BBQ and retractable washing line. There is also a water tap for washing off sand after trips to the beach.

Great stay
We had a great stay, despite the shocking weather that weekend! The cottage is lovely and cosy with such great views over the harbour. A few steps to the village and some nice shops and eateries. Lou was always available to respond to any queries. Definitely want to return again, hopefully with a bit of sunshine next time!

Lovely apartment in a beautiful position
Overall the apartment was well equipped and the position overlooking the apartment was spectacular. To wake each morning with the sun streaming into the bedroom and overlooking the harbour was a delight

Great location
A very nice cottage within easy walking distance of the centre of Mevagissey. The trade off is that parking has to be in the car park a 6 minute walk away - but we knew this and it was not a problem. It was possible to stop briefly in a pull-in area a few yards up the hill to load and unload the car. The accommodation was fine with good views of the harbour from both bedrooms. The lounge was comfortable, but we did have poor TV reception on one evening and had to switch off. Bathroom and shower were very good. The kitchen was bright and modern ( we did find the oven and hobs not the easiest to operate and the instructions seemed not to relate to the exact model we had. Had we been a party of four, the number of water and wine glasses was limited. I would have liked a grinder for coffee beans as I had brought some with me and was not able to use them. Very minor points (which are intended to be helpful) - a few extra hooks on doors for dressing gowns, towels in the bathroom etc would have been useful. The main criticism was the remote system used for controlling the heating in the cottage. We did have to contact the owner twice when we felt the cottage was too cold so that it could be remotely adjusted. It would have been nice to be trusted to use the heating sensibly with settings we felt comfortable with. Our overall impression was good - just a few minor tweaks could improve it further. I hope these comments are useful, both to the owner and prospective renters.

Great views of the harbour
A great place to stay and explore the south coast of Cornwall. Bedrooms have great views of the sun rise across the harbour. Easy to walk into town.
