The hotel was set in a lovely area with a fantastic view of the harbour. The staff were incredibly friendly without trying too hard at the same time, especially Sam who answered all of our requests. The breakfast was also exceptional and we now regret not eating an evening meal there which was offered although you do have to book early to get what you want. Overall its a great place to stay and I would recommend it to visitors. We would definitely stay there again.

This is a super property run by two lovely owners who treat you more like friends than guests. Nothing is too much trouble. Would certainly recommend visitors to Megavissey to stay at this hotel. Yes it’s at the top of a steep hill but if we could cope with it (80/84years) then I’m sure

Three night stay in exceptional hotel

Lovely hotel situated at the top of a steep hill overlooking the bay. The views are to die for making the short walk from Mevagissey, well worth it. There is a lovely path through gardens which takes the steepness out of the hill and plenty of seats along the way. Arrival at the hotel was exceptional, was able to park the car outside the hotel.Arrived a little early, which was no problem as we were met by Sam who offered us a nice cold drink and was able to sit on the terrace admiring the views. Sam took us to our room, after giving us a tour of the dining room, bar and lounge, which was overlooking the bay, where we were lucky enough to see dolphins in the bay. Room was exceptionally clean and modern, newly refurbished and stunning views. Coffee machine, tea making facilities. Bottle of water and cookies was also a nice touch. Bathroom was exceptionally clean with lovely walk-in shower. Comfortable bed which provided a restful night sleep. Food was exceptional stayed on a bed and breakfast basis arriving on a Sunday with evening meal optional on Sunday and Monday of our stay. Evening meal was freshly cooked with a nice choice available and again lovely views of the bay. Breakfast was also freshly cooked with a great choice. Food was stunning and service was exceptional. Had a good free internet access. There was lots of information available for taxis and local attractions. Highly recommend this small and friendly hotel. Thank you Sam, Roy and staff for a wonderful stay.

We stayed for 3 nights. Food option was minimal, cooked breakfast was rather small with one option unavailable was told the chef burnt it and had to be completely thrown away then next day no Delivery. They don’t give you time they constantly come over to remove plates/bowls and cutlery that aren’t being used. You feel rushed to eat and go. The bed comfort wasn’t great for me the bed was on the hard side. Welcoming was lovely. Walls are super thin in the rooms I could hear someone down the corridor snoring, conversations within the rooms and even conversations from the main atrium. Rooms are pretty small. We didn’t have main course dinner as we felt we would be rushed and the potion would also be small just like breakfast. There’s a very minimal option to choose from. Overall the experience was okay but I wouldn’t stay there myself personally. I feel the hotel is based more for older people.
