Guests appreciate the ample living space, modern kitchen, and the added bonus of a garden, despite some accessibility concerns.

The property's charm and location are consistently praised.

Cleanliness

Reviews on cleanliness are mixed, with several guests reporting the property as dirty upon arrival, including issues with dog hairs, dust, and odours. However, others found it clean and tidy. The inconsistency suggests room for improvement in this area.

Location

The location is highly praised for its proximity to the harbour, shops, and restaurants, making it an ideal base for exploring Mevagissey. Despite some noise concerns due to its central position, the convenience is a standout feature.

Comfort

Comfort receives positive remarks for the spaciousness and the property's suitability for large groups. However, there are several complaints about uncomfortable mattresses and seating, indicating that while the space is ample, the quality of furnishings could be enhanced.

Facilities

Facilities are generally appreciated, especially the well-stocked kitchen and utility room. Some guests mention issues with maintenance, such as broken appliances and the need for refurbishment. The garden's accessibility and upkeep are also noted concerns.

Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.

About this property

Once the home of Mevagissey's first bank, this imposing Grade II listed village-centre building has been renovated to a high standard, creating a Cornwall holiday cottage of comfort and character. Set over three floors, 100 yards from the harbour, the property retains many original features. The bedrooms are mainly over the ground and second floors, while the main, stylish living space occupies the first floor. The exquisite dining room, with parquet flooring, panelled walls and glazed ceiling, is overlooked by a balcony from the second floor. The harbour, pubs and restaurants of Mevagissey are all within a short stroll. Wander to the water's edge to watch the fishermen unload their catch, stroll along the coastal path on the headland or walk to The Lost Gardens of Heligan. Alternatively, explore the Eden Project, the cathedral city of Truro or the beauty of the Roseland Peninsula and its beaches.

Mevagissey is the archetypal Cornish fishing village, and is a picturesque place with a harbour full of bobbing boats and meandering cobbled streets. The coast has beautiful walks in both directions, gorgeous sandy beaches, cliffs and secluded coves. There is a superb selection of pubs and restaurants, and a ferry runs daily to Fowey in the summer season. Just up the road you'll find the Lost Gardens of Heligan; the fascinating Tall Ships harbour at Charlestown with its shipwreck museum and fish smokery is seven miles distant, and the incredible tropical biospheres of the famous Eden Project are 11 miles away. The beaches and coastline of the Roseland Peninsula are a short drive down the coast and the shops, restaurants and theatre of the cathedral city of Truro are just half an hour's drive away.
