Couldn't fault the property. It felt like a home from home and is spacious and has a great deal of privacy. Is ideally located for easy access to the local area both on foot and in a car.

A lovely spacious house for a large group in a quiet village close (15 mins walk) from Mevagissey and a very short stroll to the pub, beach and snack bar. The house itself is very comfortable and well equipped. There were one or two issues with cleanliness which could be easily addressed

A well equipped comfortable and roomy house for all the extended family . The location is good with the beach, pub and cafe close by and Mevagissey a short walk away.

Stayed here with family, 3 adults, 4 teenagers and a dog. We all loved the house, lots of space, really clean, well thought out and everything you needed , which I think is very rare! It truly felt like a home from home and we were sad to leave. The location is fantastic too, a 2 minute walk to Portmellon cove and the Rising Sun Inn- newly taken ovRead moreer and re furbed and really good. 20 minute walk to Mevagissey which reminded me of a small Padstow but less showy! Loved it too especially the Ship Inn where we had our best meals of the holiday, despite eating in some other really nice places. Porthluney Beach was out of this world as were the coastal walks, especially to Goran Haven. I would not hesitate to recommend this house and location and I am sure we will be back! Amazing last week of the summer holidays Hide

St Mellyn is a beautiful house in a fantastic location, the facilities are fantastic with all you need. The location is perfect for water loving families with an amazing pub at the bottom of the lane. A short walk into Mevagissy which is a beautiful harbour town. We loved our stay and will return. Thank you.
