Beautiful cottage overlooking idilic harbour

Family of 5 adults normally presents a challenge to accommodate comfortably for a holiday, but not in this case. Prospect Cottage is a lovely family home packed with all the amenities that a family needs. Only a few minutes walk away from the magical Mevagissey harbour and an array of bars, cafes and chip shops! We had a magnificent stay and would recommend to anyone.

Lovely place in a great spot.

A beautiful and interesting cottage situated in the centre of the village, it’s no more than a couple of minutes walk anywhere. Everything you need is provided, it’s light and airy, clean and well maintained and with great views. This was our second visit and we’ve already booked for next year so, I guess, that says a lot! There’s nothing not to like.

We had a wonderful time in Prospect cottage, everything was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Absolutely loved the property and a potter delight to stay there. Would go again without question and Mevagissey is a super place to visit. I would recommend this property to anyone and we're so grateful to the hosts for allowing us to 'borrow' for a little while. Also must say thank you to the cleaner who keeps it all so nice. Can't wait to go again, thank you x

Wonderful house in a fantastic location

This beautiful house was perfect for us and it felt like home from the moment we walked in. The rooms are comfortable, there is everything you could possibly need and the views from all the rooms are incredible. We were fortunate to have lovely weather for our stay and enjoyed Mevagissy, its busy harbour and all the bustles of this pretty fishing village. Tamsin is a wonderful host and communication was excellent throughout. I would wholeheartedly recommend this as the most lovely place to stay. We are certainly hoping to return.

Beautiful Cottage in Great Location

We spent a wonderful few days at this lovely cottage. The house is cosy but there was lots of space for our family of four and two dogs. The house is beautifully decorated as well as being really well equipped. We loved sitting in the sun room and the window seats watching the world go by and looking out to sea. The location is perfect as it’s only a few minutes walk from the centre of the town and all the restaurants and shops.

Didn't want to leave!

This was one of the best holidays we have ever had. Perfect for older children too who could visit the shops and cafes on their own, just a couple of minutes walk away. We would very much like to return one day while we are still young enough to manage all the steep roads and steps around Mevagissey!
