What can I say we’ve been coming to Cornwall for about 10 yrs and I’ve got to say Tasmins place is the best we’ve ever stayed in, it was comfortable and it had everything we needed, lovely sunroom and spectacular views from every window which were mesmerising from morning with the sunrise to the evening with glow of all the lights from the houses, it was a 5 min walk to the town and harbour with plenty of places to eat and drink, overall it was perfect

I feel like I discovered the shiniest hidden gem in Mevagissey! The cottage and view are magnificent, and the house very well-appointed and CHARMING! It's close enough to the hear tof the harbour that I wanted for nothing, but far enough away to feel peace and security.Tamsin is a superb host with great communication and instructions. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!

Lovely house set over 3 floors, with beautiful views over the town & harbour. House is well equipped, and comfortably furnished.Parking for the car was bit tight, but we have a fairly big 4x4, and it was good to have our own space. Would definitely go back.

We booked our trip last minute and were pleasantly surprised at the accommodation for the price that we paid. Upstairs there is a small loo separate bath room and two good sized bedrooms with great views across the harbour. The middle floor at road level is the kitchen diner and living room. Downstairs has a double bedroom separate utility, shower room with loo and sun room onto the garden. The property itself is homely and is located in a great position for access to the harbour. The outside space allowed the dogs to do what they like to do in the garden. If you enjoy people watching this is the place for you, just remember to cover up if you are going for a midnight trip to the loo. The house is generally well equipped but be aware that some of the foodstuff in the cabinets is well past its use by date. The parking space available is adequate but we did have a resident complain about us driving through private property to access it. Overall I would recommend the property if you are able bodied and the communication and check in process was seamless.

Thanks for your review and glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. Our guests often leave dry food in a cupboard but we have cleared it out and will do so regularly following your feedback. Re the parking. Access definitely isn’t via a private road but I’ll chat to the neighbours. Thanks.
