The accommodation was clean and tidy with all basic facilities . The bed was large and very comfortable . Host lived on site if needed but didn't intrude in any way , lovely view of the harbour but a steep walk from the harbour may deter some less able . Plenty to do in the area with pubs , cafes and local attractions , we would definitely recommend

A really superb holiday accommodation. Views unbeatable and the town a delight to explore though lacking in services. But then we knew that anyway. Tom, the owner a fantastic chap for 86 and very helpful and friendly. Loved chatting to my wife about his garden plants. The real down side was the very steep and narrow Polkirk hill to be negotiated each day; can't begin to imagine how this works in high summer, nightmare! Served us well for exploring the area and Eden Project etc. Highly recommend this location for visitors to Cornwall.

Comfortable apartment with great views of sea and harbour. Tom the host was very welcoming and helpful. Good to have parking as Mevagissey doesn't have much. Walk down and up to harbour steep in places but achievable. Seating on patio and in garden good. Apartment has good fittings, comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen equipment with good WiFi.
