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.

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.

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.

Glorious Cottage, Stunning Views
This is the most delightful cottage to stay in, to make your stay in Mevagissey even more memorable and satisfying. Situated a very short walk from the harbour front, this property has been thoughtfully restored with many of its original features still prominent. The modern decor and furnishings, immediately make it homely. The host has provided all the facilites, appliances and kitchen equipment you would ever need during your stay. Tamsin's communication and directions before our arrival were first class. She also provided many recommendations of local restaurants, shops and places to visit in the locality. If you are planning a visit to Mevagissey, I strongly recommend your stay at this idyllic stone built cottage.

Best house in Meva! Lovely old cottage in the heart of town. We had a big car so couldn’t use the parking space but found parking just up the road, maybe 5 minutes walk, easy. Great views over the village, didn’t want to leave☺️

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
