Mixed feedback on cleanliness, with some guests finding the cottage tidy and welcoming, while one family reported it as dirty. The majority, however, had a positive experience.
The location is consistently praised for being perfect, extremely close to the port, shops, and restaurants, and offering a great base to explore Cornwall.

Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and good shower pressure. Some issues with hot water and heating were noted, but also resolved.

The cottage is very nice and very well located, literally on the harbour and close to amenities, shops, pubs etc... It is an old cottage, with wooden upper floor that leans on a side quite a bit, and noisy plumbing, but it has been well-modernised and it was clean throughout. It is on 3 floors, which I didn't get from the description. kitchen and shower room on the ground floor, living room on the first floor and bedroom and toilet on the upper floor. the steps are steep and it the easiest to navigate, so it is not suitable for young children and people with mobility isues. We had a very good time. Thank you for hosting our party (family). We had all we needed in the cottage, including a hair dryer (not listed) and we felt right at home. Mevagisey is a lovely village, and it is a great location to visit Cornwall. We even made it for a sunset at Land's End. Thank you

This holiday home was a disappointing experience for us as a family with two children. The three good reviews above made us enthusiastic, so we booked.Unfortunately...The location (the town) was fantastic and the neighbor was very friendly and helpful!We paid a fortune for 10 days, but got a dirty house with very poor beds where you either slept crooked or woke up with muscle pain. Our daughter ended up sleeping on the couch because the double bed with its super-thin mattress was unsuitable for two people. There was no hot water from the tap, so we had to boil kettles of water for every dish. Kitchen utensils were dirty in the cupboard, and there were still food scraps in the corners of the couch.We left early because we craved a good night's sleep on comfortable beds.After contacting the owner, we felt we were being ripped off. Definitely not worth the money!
