“The property was very nice, clean and provided a good sized living space.”

We were a party of 6 adults which worked well, more adults may struggle with the bathroom facilities.

We were a party of 6 adults which worked well, more adults may struggle with the bathroom facilities. The house is an easy walk to the town with it’s numerous pubs and restaurants, but the return is up a very steep hill, which may cause problems for those less able. The welcome pack of basic essentials was very helpful. The Eden project is a short drive and the Lost Gardens if Heligan a 40 minute walk.

“Really comfortable with plenty of room & ideally situated”

This is a lovely house, very comfortable with ample bathrooms and in keeping with the area and it's age. All amenities are provided for and the housekeeper is excellent in contact and helpful with local information. We went in two cars and there was plenty of parking. It's on the top of a hill and if you walk a little down the road and cut through a small housing estate you're able to walk down the coast path and steps into the town, thereby overseeing the harbour. We love going this time of the year as the sea can be quite dramatic. Just be aware of leaving it too late as the town does start to close down for the end of the season.

“House may be much better in the summer but as a winter stay it needs some upgrading.”

As it was cold and windy the front door didn’t do much to keep the draught out. My son & partner have a 5 month old so had the master bedroom, the wind was blowing the window that rattled & the curtains were moving which kept the baby awake. It could be a lovely house but needs upgrading. The electric also cut off on the Saturday morning & after a few phone calls was sorted but overall the holiday was spoilt.

“Penare house was as described, very spacious, comfortable and well equipped.”

However the house in general needs some maintenance,there is obviously a leak in the roof and as a consequence there are damp patches throughout. Also some of the cooking equipment needs renewing ie frying pans.

Thank you for the feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Penare House. We will get a new frying pan and hope you would agree that the kitchen supplies are extensive and of good quality. There wasn't actually a leak in the roof but our builder has treated the damp patches. The climate in Cornwall does make this a perennial problem in period houses. We are pleased that despite the points raised you aenjoyed your stay. Sykes owner relations

“To be fair, we weren’t misled, but made assumptions about accessibility of bathrooms and that the house was suitable for nine adults.”

There was a huge disparity between the master suite and all of the other bedrooms. I’m sure it’s fine for families with small children but not for adults all of whom had paid the same rate. We had a problem with the boiler which was fixed immediately. We would have appreciated rinse aid and salt for dishwasher, more toilet rolls and washing powder but perhaps this is to be expected. All in all, if the welcome pack had included these items it would have been appreciated.

Thank you for the feedback. While all the bedrooms are generously sized it is quite true that the bedroom with the four poster is the largest. We provide "all in one" tablets for the dishwasher and so salt and rinse aid are not required. While we do provide washing powder and lavatory paper - as well as dishwasher tables - guests will sometimes need top up on supplies during their stay Sykes owner relations

“Really enjoyed our stay at Penare House, lovely comfortable house with all facilities.”

We had some plumbing issues but these were quickly dealt with by the housekeeper and maintenance guy. Loved Mevigessy. Thank you for a great stay.

“Maybe in the listing making people aware of the steep incline from the village back to the property.”

It wasn't too much of an issue but may be for others.
Mrs Camplisson November 2018

“I wasn't too sure how I would find Penare and was delighted that it exceeded my expectations.”

I was very spacious and despite it being the end of November it was toasty warm. It is at the top of the hill so it is a very good work out to get home after going to Mevagissey if you are pushing a pram! It does have parking, which is a treat in Mevagissey. It was a fun house for a two and three year old who were confident on stairs. Poppy could not have been more helpful and welcoming. Really enjoyed it and would stay here again.
Mr Dunne September 2018

“Excellent recommendable lovely house and location, clean comfortable fantastic welcome pack , a great week enhanced by a delightful spacious comfy house , looking forward to booking again soon thank you.”
Mr Binder July 2018

“The house was lovely and clean and comfortable, it had everything one could need.”

The welcome pack was a very nice touch and much appreciated. We and our 2 labs thoroughly enjoyed our stay there
Mr Mullen March 2018

“The house was great in general except the heating in the top three rooms didn't work, they were very cold .”

And as the weather down in Cornwall was very cold and windy with lots of snow from Sunday the !8th which remained for two days, those three rooms couldn't be used, in fact we didn't bother to use them as they were so cold. bit of a waste really. The front bedroom with the four poster and the living room were so draftee from around the windows I had to go round all four windows stuffing the gaps with newspaper to cut the draft, once I had completed this the two front rooms warmed up nicely. Unfortunately there was nothing to be done to reduce the draft through the front door. The rest of the house was fine and the log fire was great, although we did get through some logs. We would return to Penare House but only during the summer months.

The property

Penare House offers a high specification interior, generous proportions and a hilltop position with sea views and convenient access to the beach and coastal footpath in the fishing village of Mevagissey on Cornwall's golden Riviera coastline.

It is a handsome property for large parties but equally great for couples looking to enjoy a romantic break.

Arranged over three levels the interior smoulders with an understated elegance.

Perhaps the most striking feature is the master en-suite bedroom with its ocean views, antique four poster bed and chaise longue or, if it is an atmosphere for entertaining, then the kitchen/diner which boasts a wood burner beside a farmhouse dining table, every conceivable appliance including a range cooker and doors to the enclosed rear garden equipped with a brick barbecue and patio furniture.

Adults can retire to the comfy sitting room and the warmth of an open fire in the cooler months and for children there is an entertainment room on the top floor equipped with a second TV, wireless broadband, hi-fi, games, books and a pair of tripod mounted binoculars.

Mevagissey village and harbour, which still operates a small fleet and pleasure boats, is a ten minute walk along narrow streets lined with fishermen cottages, old inns, restaurants and galleries.

Convenient for the beaches at Polstreath, Pentewan and Gorran Haven and within a 10 mile radius of the renowned Eden Project, the award winning Lost Gardens of Heligan, the exclusive waterfront town of Fowey and harbourside village of St Mawes.

Penare House caters exceptionally well for families and offers bespoke pricing for couples during the low season.
