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!

Beautiful property
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.

This is the third time I have spent at this wonderful property. It is located right in Mevagissey, a short stroll to the harbour and the coastal path. Already planning my return!

Wonderful short break.
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. Lots of information to refer to. We will be back. Simply loved it. Thank you.
