We had a brilliant stay at Bayview. It is a beautiful property with incredible views. Every room was comfortable, clean and well appointed. The kitchen was fantastic and enticed us to cook some great meals. It is an incredibly short walk into Mevagissey which is a wonderful town. We only wish we had been able to stay longer. We will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful time at Bayview Cottage, it felt like a real home from home. The house was spacious, absolutely comfy and spotlessly clean. Every day we enjoyed the stunning views from the windows and even spotted a seal swimming in the harbour. It's also the perfect place if you want to explore Cornwall, there are a lot of beautiful spots, villages and sights within easy reach. Communication with Nevin was easy and quick, thank you for making our stay so special! We can only recommend Bayview Cottage, it's a little piece of paradise!

Exceptional bay view

We loved our stay in Mevagissey. The house was extremely spacious with gorgeous views from the front bedrooms and a very comfortable open plan kitchen/living space. The kitchen was really well equipped and everything was clean and tidy. The house is very close to the centre so you can explore the town easily and access all amenities within minutes. We would have liked to stay longer!

Amazing home in the best location!

The home is absolutely stunning. So clean and very well fitted. Cannot say enough about the location. The village is gorgeous and everyone is so friendly. So close to shops and restaurants. That view! We miss it already. You do get used to the hill :)

Amazing views and well equipped spacious property.

We had a wonderful time in Bayview and can fully recommend it. We will be returning. The property has a fantastic location with a short downhill walk to the village. As with many Cornish locations, parking is a premium, however the property does have an allocated space up the hill. The owners were very helpful in advising on areas to park our second vehicle.. There is so much to do in the area for all ages. Overall an amazing holiday.

The perfect location

Bayview cottage is perfectly situated overlooking Mevagissey harbour with stunning views no matter the weather! The rooms are all large, comfy, bright & impeccably kept. The kitchen has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Again the bedrooms are all large and very comfortable with the main bedroom having the most amazing views to the harbour and out to sea as does the top bedroom. The bathrooms are all a very good size clean and very well presented. The walk into Mevagissey…About 120 seconds 👍 All in all it’s the perfect holiday cottage in the perfect location it’s a 10/10 from us.

Beautiful Bay View

Booking into the house was amazing. It was such a beautiful place. I almost would never rent it if it belonged to me. The view of the bay was gorgeous. Every room was immaculate and comfortable. The beds. were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The underfloor heating in the kitchen and dining room was a dream. There was nothing we didn't love about the house. Except the parking, lol.The house was cool when we first got there but Nevin responded quickly and dealt with the thermostat.Wr would absolutely book it again if we came back to Mevagissey.this. rental accept the parking LO.

Beautiful cottage in lovely little town - definitely will be going again.

Pictures don't do this cottage justice! It's beautiful! We stayed for 7 nights with 3 children, the boys loved having a bedroom of their own and the daughter claimed her own bathroom, so she was happy too. Lovely views which are better from the 1 st floor and the garden is great for eating in if the weather is good, although remember everything as it's 3 floors if you forget the cutlery. Kitchen is well equipped to cook or the pubs are a 2 minute walk to eat out, we particularly enjoyed the Harbour Tavern where the locals made the kids very welcome. Tea on the Quay was lovely for good coffee and a cream tea, the kids loved She Sells for ice creams while they were crabbing. Plenty of shops to pick up bits and pieces in Mevagissey including bakers and a lovely very well stocked greengrocers. Bigger supermarkets in St Austell were easy to get to. The children enjoyed playing on the beach when the tide was out, and crabbing (quite successfully) when the tide was in. We also travelled a fair bit and saw Lands End, St Michael's Mount and Padstowe, all were a fairly easy drive. Parking is provided in a car park in the town, a good 5 minute walk from the property. You can pull up outside on the road to unload and load suitcases from the car, but the locals are used to the narrow roads so are quite patient. We had an issue with the boiler while we stayed, a couple of phone calls to Liz who manages the property and the problem was resolved within an hour. The only minor negative was there wasn't a mirror in the master bedroom, so had to go up to the attic for a big mirror. We have been advised by the owner that there was one but it had broken just before our stay, and will be replaced as soon as possible.
