  • A quirky and characterful cottage providing a romantic coastal retreat, any time of the year
  • In the heart of Mevagissey yet tucked away in a hidden spot just moments from the harbour
  • Elevated, rear sun-trap terrace with outdoor seating
Property code: OC-H27460

Tucked away along a traffic-free lane near the historic harbour, this charming cottage offers a quirky hideaway for two in a central Mevagissey location and comes complete with an elevated garden offering views of the surrounding countryside.

Enter via a set of stone steps and find yourself in the charming dining/snug room, where a cosy wood burner sets the stage for delightful meals. Adjacent to this room lies the fully equipped kitchen, ready to cater to all your culinary needs. Ascend the stairs to the spacious lounge with an additional sofa and footrest, perfect for unwinding in front of the TV. Unique artwork, painted floorboards, and seaside-themed decor reflect the coastal ambience that surrounds the cottage. A short flight of steps leads you to the bathroom, and towards the back of the cottage awaits a welcoming double bedroom. Venture out through the bedroom’s back door and climb the steps to the elevated terrace to find a peaceful setting for al fresco dining. The enclosed courtyard at the front of the cottage offers an additional seating area shared with the neighbouring property. There’s also a utility building for your convenience.

This picturesque fishing village on Cornwall’s south coast enchants with its narrow streets, colourful buildings, and bustling harbour, where you can embark on a ferry trip to Fowey. The South West Coast Path weaves through the village, unveiling breathtaking views of the coastline. Enjoy a leisurely stroll to Portmellon Beach (1 mile) and continue on to Chapel Point and Colonna Beach, favoured haunts of grey seals. Fishing, boating, and hiking are popular pastimes, providing endless opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. Don’t miss the Lost Gardens of Heligan, accessible by a 45-minute walk through a wooded valley or a 2.5-mile drive. The world-renowned Eden Project is also within reach 9.5 miles away. For a day at the seaside, Polstreath Beach (1 mile), Pentewan Sands (3 miles), and Gorran Haven (3.5 miles) promise unforgettable coastal experiences.

We parked to unload on short stay carpark by the church and then parked the car for a week at Willow carpark 35 for the week. It was literally a 5 minute walk to the cottage from the church short stay ( more if the Fountain Inn is open .easy to side track) The cottage is a few doors up from the pub on the left. Access via a few steps and through tRead morehe gate. Enter into a lovely little welcoming room. Small kitchen to the right which has everything you need for self catering. Spotlessly clean and overlooking a courtyard. This room has a dining table and log burner which we used and it warmed the cottage beautifully. Radiators in every room but we were lucky with the weather and only needed them later on in the evening. Up the narrow staircase is the living room. Again warm and welcoming and leading to the bathroom and bedroom. There is a door from the bedroom leading to a roof garden. No sea or harbour views but a lovely view over the rooftops at the village. Seating is up there too. The cottage is basically a lovely place to stay. It is central to the village and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We would absolutely return if there is availability as we love Mevagissey and this cottage is absolutely perfect.

We spent the first week of November at the cottage and were fortunate to have a mild and dry week. I really wanted to light the log burner but the cottage wasnt cold enough, even without the heating on!! The cottage is very clean and cosy and the amenities are excellent. The stairs to the living room are very steep - I twisted my ankle the day befoRead morere we came away and found them quite challenging but the chrome bannisters were a godsend. The cottage is in a fantastic location close to everything Mevagissey has to offer. There are plenty of places to eat out at a reasonable cost and lots of places to explore slightly further afield. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are worth a visit and cost half the price of the Eden Project. All in all, we had a very enjoyable stay. Hide

Delightful cottage close to the harbour. Need to have good knees for the steps and stairs. If you like coffee, take your own cafetiere. Electric Shower is ok, the bath would be good if there was sufficient hot water.

A lovely cosy cottage in a very central part of Mevagissey.

I parked at Sunny Corner car park which is only a couple minutes walk away, a weeks parking was 56 for the week. Hide

Property was in a great location and we loved the picturesque little village of Mevagissey, which had a good few lovely eateries for it's size and is ideal for visiting other parts of Cornwall.

The cleanliness of the property needs to be improved around the toilet, and seating areas. The bed was way too soft. Communication was good and accurate.
