MEVAGISSEY

Truro 16 miles.

The perfect Cornish fishing village, with winding cobbled streets and a harbour full of boats. Stunning walks lead along the coast in both directions, with sandy beaches, high cliffs and hidden coves to explore. The village has an excellent selection of pubs and restaurants, while just up the road are the Lost Gardens of Heligan. A ferry from Mevagissey to Fowey also runs daily between Easter and September. Spend some time at the Tall Ships harbour at Charlestown (7 miles) with its fish smokery and shipwreck museum, or among the tropical biomes of the world famous Eden Project (11 miles). The stunning coastline, fabulous beaches and renowned gardens of the beautiful Roseland Peninsula are a short drive down the coast while Truro, with its shops, restaurants, theatre and cathedral can be reached by car in half an hour.

The location of The Retreat is great. The property is so well maintained and well stocked with all the essentials. The kids play area and hot tub were excellent. The garden was beautiful and safe, we could just let the kids play knowing they couldn't escape! The owners are so lovely and helpful.

The Retreat was even better than the photos and description. It was a beautiful place and the owners offer you a top notch home from home, as well as a warm welcome and bottle of wine! We spent cocktail hour each evening in the hot tub, glass of champagne in hand, nibbles in the other,enjoying the sunset and the cows watching over the fence from the next field. If it was raining then the rolltop bath was big enough for both of us anyway! The bed was the biggest and comfiest I have ever had from a holiday cottage, my poor old back didn't complain once. We will definitely return for another break next year.
