A great place to stay
A great property in a wonderful location above Mevagissey with fantastic views. Spacious, warm and comfortable with everything we needed. Very quiet location but only a few minutes walk to the village. We had a very happy stay.

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.

Great location, stroll straight down to the harbour Property perfectly set up with a bedroom/shower downstairs and 2 beds with a bath upstairs and lounge/kitchen inbetween Can park outside to unload. Would avoid the car space and just use the car park. £48 for the week and a couple of mins walk from the property, super easy Highly recommend this property, we loved our stay.

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☺️

Great stay in Cornwall
We stayed a week at this lovely cottage in Mevagissey. The house is very comfortable and we loved the furniture and decor. We were 2 couples, but it would also be great for family vacations. The kitchen was well-equipped; we usually did breakfast and dinner at the house. It’s a short walk into central Mevagissey, although be aware that it is on a hill. We didn’t have a car, but there are 2 bus stops near the house and we were able to get everywhere we wanted to go using public transportation. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Prospect Cottage- highly recommend.

Wonderful walking
This property is in an excellent position in Mevagissey with wonderful views over the rooftops to the harbour & sea beyond from all the rooms. Very comfortable with everything you need. Finding the property & unloading right outside was so easy but the parking space provided was an absolute concern daily.....trying to avoid damage to tyres on the raised base of the barrier posts in a very tight area was not easy & we only had a small car. Provision of a parking permit in the main carpark would really be a godsend for guests. THE HOUSE IS SUPERB SO JUST MAKE OTHER PARKING PLANS!

One of our very best stays!!
My wife and I are very experienced self catering renters and have a good basis for comparisons and we can, and have to one another, state that this is one of our top three stays, in terms of quality of the property, location, service, cleanliness and all other aspects of using a vacation rental. Our only regret is that with our present 16 day visit to the U.K. (yes, we are Americans) that we didn't spend more of it in this property in Mevagissey. My wife would have been very happy to have spent the entire visit there, but it is a bit of drive from there to Heathrow for a noon departure back to the U.S. We will certainly be booking again. On another note, every single townspeople we met did not treat as merely a tourist and a possible source of revenue, but opened right up and spoke of their lives in Cornwall, good and bad and treated us as if we were known acquaintances. Five stars to Tamsin and her family and thanks for sending the caretaker over to help us sort out the operation of the heater (I was trying to overthink it!). My sole cautionary note is that for elderly folks who want to get out and walk, virtually any walking not directly on the harbor is a bit of up and down hills - on the other hand, in most cases, it's good for us! See you again!

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

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.

From first booking through to sadly vacating, our stay was quite frankly wonderful. Excellent communication, property just as described, its lovely, full of character and with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Ideally located close to the centre and the harbour.
