Great location

An ideal Couples getaway. Great location and lovely views. The Cottage itself was well stocked and had everything we could need. The mattress was incredibly hard, but that is a personal preference. If the mattress was a bit softer and not akin to lying on a plank of wood, this would certainly be 5*

A beautiful cottage in a wonderful setting right on the water with views over the bay.

A beautiful cottage in a wonderful setting right on the water with views over the bay. Local pub is staggering distance and handy extras like guides, binoculars and fishing equipment is really helpful. Our 4th visit and we’ll be back!

We loved staying in this gorgeous little cottage which is right by the sea.

We loved staying in this gorgeous little cottage which is right by the sea. We didn't have very good weather for our week in Cornwall but the cottage was so nice, peaceful and relaxing it didn't matter that we spent more time inside than we normally would do. The location is wonderful and you are only 20 minute stroll from the pubs, cafes and shops of Mevagissey. It was so nice to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of waves gently lapping the rocks below the bedroom window. No complaints whatsoever. Thoroughly recommended!

Set up very well for 2 people, but if going as a family of 3 you might want to request a 3rd dining

Set up very well for 2 people, but if going as a family of 3 you might want to request a 3rd dining chair. Shared terrace with Puffin Barrow gives best views of sea and bay. Gorgeous setting.
