A traditional mid-terrace double fronted stone cottage originally starting life as a forge for the local fishermen and later becoming a chapel until the congregation outgrew it. Now rebuilt using the original stone and set on rising ground with views across village rooftops to the sea and coastline from the top floor windows which look out beyond the harbour wall. Entered directly from the lane, a couple of steps lead up to the front door which opens to the central hallway.

The ground floor accommodation comprises a well equipped kitchen with country pine fitted units and a breakfast bar with high stools, a dining/play room with a sofa bed for alternative sleeping arrangements and at the rear of the hall two steps continue up to a cloakroom W.C. with hand basin and a bedroom with sturdy 3ft pine bunk beds.

Upstairs there is a bathroom W.C. with hand basin and shower cubicle to supplement the bath, and two steps lead down to the front of the cottage where there are a pretty double bedroom with views of the outer harbour and sea over the rooftops and a delightful beamed sitting room with a gas woodburner effect stove, some natural exposed stonework and views encompassing the boats in the harbour and far out to sea.

There is a small walled courtyard at the rear of the cottage with a useful outside tap and the original niche in the wall dating back to the old chapel, and a parking permit for one car is provided for the harbour car park 250 yards away.  A flight of steps opposite the cottage descends to the large harbour still dominated by a thriving fishing industry.

There are a wide variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, many specialising in locally caught fish. The original bellows belonging to the old smithy are displayed in the Mevagissey Museum on the quayside and the old lifeboat station houses a small aquarium. There are boat trips and a ferry to Fowey that leave from the harbour, and Portmellon, half a mile, has a sand and shingle beach. There are lovely views along the South West Coast Path to Gorran Haven via Chapel Point and The Lost Gardens of Heligan are a short drive. The Eden Project is a 30 minute drive. Please note there is no room for the storage of bicycles inside or outside the property.

Please note: Bed linen is available at £5 per person per week payable on arrival. Towels are not available.  A weekly car park pass is inclusive.

Sleeps
Close
When a property shows 'sleeps' in the format X-Y, X equals the maximum number of adults that can comfortably be accommodated and Y indicates the maximum number of adults + children that can be comfortably accommodated in the property.
Customer Rating
Close
Our rating method, the popular "smiles" system is generated entirely by the feedback we receive from our visitors. The number of smiles is arrived at by taking the average grading given to the question:

How would you rate the cottage's fittings, furnishings and equipment?’

A property will achieve a rating of 5 Smiles down to 1 Smile, although it is our policy not to carry any properties with ratings lower than 3 Smiles. The customer chooses from the following ratings:
  1. Excellent
  2. Good
  3. Satisfactory
  4. Below standard
  5. Poor
There are a number of properties that have been recently added to our portfolio and these are graded "New".
Pets
Close
There is an extra charge for pets, most commonly at £18 pppw (per pet per week).

Assistance dogs are of course welcome in all our cottages free of charge, however owners of them should be aware that a considerable number of people are allergic to dogs and in some cases can have a severe reaction. Owners are therefore encouraged, where at all possible, to choose a property which normally allows pets.

Some properties accept pets other than dogs, but in all cases we are required to confirm consent from the cottage owner. Please contact the office on 01208 821 666 if you would like to take a pet other than a dog with you to one of our cottages.

Loyalty Discount

A 5% loyalty discount is available at some properties for guests who have booked a second or further holiday within 2 years through Cornish Traditional Cottages. If you are eligible for the Loyalty Discount your final balance payment will be reduced accordingly after your booking has been submitted. The Loyalty Discount cannot be claimed with any other discount.
How to book
Close
  1. Select the check box next to the week(s) you wish to book. Multiple weeks can only be booked consecutively. Non consecutive weeks must be booked separately.
  2. A summary of your booking will appear. To proceed with the booking select the 'Continue booking' button in the summary box. Deselect the weeks to remove the summary box.
  3. Weeks marked as 'Reserve' (highlighted in blue) cannot be booked at this point in time because availability and prices have not yet been agreed with the owner. You can reserve these weeks in your name until availability and pricing has been agreed. It is important to note that a 'Reserved' period can only be confirmed in your name if the owner wishes to make the Reserved period available for booking.
  4. 'Reserved' weeks (as opposed to 'Reserve' weeks) can only be booked by a customer who has 'Reserved' the highlighted period.

Pricing information

All prices are per week per property. Many properties promote an all inclusive price although some charge for extras such as bed linen, towels, heating and/or electricity. The Property description will detail any extra charges.

Definitions

Booked: A customer has committed to a holiday period by paying a deposit or the full amount for a rental period.
