We had a wonderful stay in Sowenna and Mevigisy, the cottage has an amazing view, is very comfortable, is a short 5 min walk into Mevagisey and loads of great coastal path walks and beaches nearby. Tom, the host, is really helpful and knows the local area really well. We stayed 2 weeks and loved the peace and beauty especially.
