"The cottage itself was well presented although the photo is deceptive as the owner's house is just out of shot. The owner seemed to take a dislike to us leaving the curtains closed for a bit of privacy, to a point where she let herself into the cottage while we were out one day without giving us prior notice. She took photos of our belongings and complained about the way in which we were living. She intercepted us as we returned that day and made her views clear although we struggled to see what the problem was as we were abiding by the terms and conditions of the property rental. We were very shocked and angry about the invasion of our privacy given that we had done nothing wrong. Despite reassurances to this effect the owner asked us to leave the property. An alternative cottage was found for us to move to and we have been compensated for a ruined holiday. We are still struggling to understand why we were asked to leave the cottage as we caused no damage and left it in a clean and tidy state. We have enjoyed many similar holidays in the past and never had a problem before. If you value your privacy think twice about booking this cottage."

"The old cellars is so close to the harbour and has parking so exploring Mevergissy can be a daily pleasure.The properties layout over three floors is qwerty but worked for us as a family with three teens and one dog. On our arrival we were surprised to see that the owners had left us hot cross buns, milk , and irange for ester weekend. A nice touch greatly appreciated by us adukts for a cupper on arrival and the teens on Easter Sunday morning. Exploring the surrounding coastal area is so easy as most places are so very close with great dog friendly beaches and places to visit , just check out the leaflets in the property to get and idea of what's on offer. Just one recommendation that you walk up the steep hill going out of Mevergissy to the south as it gets blocked as there is a lot of local traffic including vans and very few inadequate passing places causing reversing up hill to let cars pass. Not good for gear boxes or breaks pads and can takes a great deal of time to unblock and once your in it your stuck. That all said we will definitely be returning to both this property and Mevergissy and fully recommend it."

"Wow, What a cornish gem. Fabulous upside down cosy and warm cottage, overlooking the sea.All modcons provided that we needed for our week away. Plenty of plates, cups, glasses and cutlery for the two of us to fill up the handy dishwasher. We thought the bed was comfy as well.The views.....Stunning to watch the tide and weather change each day. Very peaceful and quiet.We walked to the right hand side, up the steep coastal path and over to beautiful Vault Bay. Well worth the walk until the weather stopped us.Little local shop for essentials is handy with yummy cakes, plus fantastic fish and chips (only open on a Friday during Winter) only around 50 yards away, very friendly staff.We drove to Fistral beach (about 40 mins), Fowey (40 mins) and Mevagissey (10 mins) All nice for a wander and coffee. Lobb's farm shop was nice to meander round when raining.Mobile signal was great for keeping in touch with family.A lovely get away from it all cottage."

""The Old Cellars"... not the most attractive of names, but it's name belies it's standing. As a family of 3 generations, the layout worked well with us, with our daughter and granddaughter having bedrooms to themselves, while the layout -- described as quirky, worked well and kept us fit :-). The cleanliness deserves a mention, with the whole place very clean and well appointed, the double oven and ceramic hob in the kitchen were easy to use, although a warning to anyone wanting to grill bacon, the smoke alarm is sensitive.... Final point is that the exterior pictures shown on the Sykes website don't do the place justice, being of the back of the building rather than the front, although that photo does show the parking space -- a commodity in very short supply in Meva. After a journey of over 300 miles, we have really enjoyed our stay here and were impressed by the standard of the let as a whole, thanks to Ken and June"
