Pirate's Pad

We had a great holiday in Pirates Pad.

The area around Mevagissey is our favourite place in Cornwall and well placed to explore Cornwall from. Pirates Pad is a comfy well equipped holiday home representing good value in a prime location. Spacious enough for our family of 10 including 2 babies sleeping in cots in their parents rooms. Previous guests have mentioned that shower in the main bathroom leaks into the kitchen. We found that if you make sure the skirt on the bottom of the door is sitting inside the shower tray it's OK. The only minor issues we had were; the location of the bins next to the kitchen window and the cleanliness of the hard floors for our two babies.

The property was ideal for our party.

A good location in town and lots of places to visit. All beds were comfortable and lot's of equipment.

We’ve stayed at this house more than once.

However, on this occasion the cleanliness in the kitchen and living area were way below standard. The dishwasher was full of black mould looking grease and turned out to be broken. We did decline an engineer during our stay. The housekeeper re-attended to re-clean the downstairs to no effect. The list of issues is very long. There were two leaks during our stay, one of which was the same as two years ago when we were there. Unfortunately our daughter’s hair dye came out on a pillow case and towel for which I apologised, but assured the owner this would come out on a regular wash as I know from experience. This has prompted the owner to decline an already offered partial refund as ‘extra laundering’ was required. I can see from recent reviews the cleanliness has fallen short as is the upkeep of the back yard. Such a shame, we have been regular guests and the location of the property is perfect for the village. This experience has left an unpleasant taste which wasn’t of our making.

Excellent position in Mevagissey, good to have en suite & bathroom and downstairs toilet.

Property is spacious. However it is let down badly by the smell of damp downstairs and the neglected back yard. Even a jet wash of that area would be a vast improvement, such a waste. The windows were all filthy. The bed linen was in need of an upgrade, duvets all bobbly, the bottom sheets showing stains that won't wash out. On this occasion we were disappointed with the cleaning. A holiday shouldn't start with you having to do a quick clean yourself on arrival. Excellent property apart from that.

Stayed in Mid March, House lovely and warm when we arrived on a chilly evening.

Alex had prepared the beds as requested and was available for any other requests. Great parking arrangements . Well thought out and equipped holiday home. Comfortable beds with nice bed linen and towels. Nice to have the welcome pack. Plenty of places to eat , bakeries, fruit shop with butchers, convenience store.

Ideal for a home from home trip, everything needed was provided.

Ideal location with parking included (Bonus in Cornwall). Clean and comfortable throughout. Liked it so much have already booked for next year. Thank you very much

Lovely clean property in an ideal location in the heart of Mevagissey that met our needs perfectly, with a fishing trip only 2 min walk

Lovely house, we would definitely go back

Great holiday home, perfectly placed in the centre on mevagissey, well appointed and comfortably hosted the 7 people in our party.

Alex who looks after the property was excellent and helped with all of our enquiries and quickly dealt with an issue. The only advice I would offer to anyone renting this property is to bring ear plugs as the seagulls are very loud, but that’s what you get when you’re a stones through from the harbour!

Great holiday, we were a party of 5 ranging from 16 to 84 and our daughter, partner and grandson joined us for meals and we could all sit down together which was very enjoyable.

, so property could comfortably cater for 8. Kitchen was well equiped, Beds and bathrooms comfortable & clean. Short walk to harbour n the flat.Would certainly recommend property

Lovely stay.

Second time staying here, great location and house.

Great location spacious accommodation everything there you need communication was fabulous another lovely week spent in meva

We had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend at The Pirate’s Pad.

Very comfortable well laid out cottage, with all amenities. In a superb location - a few steps from the pretty harbour and quaint shops. Alex - the housekeeper was so friendly and helpful, making our stay extra special. I would highly recommend

Had a lovely holiday in this house, a few seconds level walk to the harbour and close to the carpark.

An ideal base to enjoy Mevagissey. Many thanks.

We had the most amazing week staying at Pirates Pad.

The property was clean and comfortable and Mevagissey is wonderful too. The property suited all 6 of us ranging from 2 to 71. The only thing that could've made it better would be a toilet downstairs but there are 3 on the 1st floor. We would most definitely book again.

The house is perfect although a downstairs toilet would be even better.

Would be nice if the courtyard was made more useable. Have stayed before, would stay again

We have stayed in many properties at Mevagissey over the years, but Pirates Pad has to be the best.

It is a great base for visiting the surrounding areas of Cornwall. Returning after a busy day of sightseeing was a pleasure, and because of its convenient location we could stay local in the evening for food and drinks to wind down before another fun day of day tripping. The well equipped house suited all of our needs and was very spacious, we are a family with young adults and there is plenty of room. With 2 showers, 1 bath and 3 toilets there was little fighting to be first back after a day at the beach to freshen up! Will definitely book here again.

Perfect house in great position to explore meva Spotlessly clean everything you need for a family holiday comfy beds added bonus of outside area too

Lovely cottage, great central location, lots of room for the whole family, instructions for arrival, parking and key collection clear, Cottage was warm and cosy for the whole stay, parking was, fine a very short walk from cottage, would recommend

Perfect place for a family of 7!

Great location and the house is fully equipped with everything we needed. Super comfy beds and plenty of room for everyone. Only slight issue is the shower in main bathroom doesn’t drain well. Didn’t cause us any issues apart from teenagers trying not to flood the bathroom! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to be right in the centre of the beautiful Mevagissey

Great house in a brilliant location, right in the middle of the village.

It is very well maintained, very comfortable, clean and with a great shower! Mevagissey is well stocked with restaurants, cafes and pubs, and is well situated to discover Cornwall.

Absolutely fantastic thanks, all of the group enjoyed the stay.

All had a superb stay.

Perfect location!

Well equipped and all you need from a holiday rental. I’m sure we’ll be back.

The property was exactly as described in the details we looked at before booking.

Spacious and comfortable. Showers were nice and powerful. The owner was also very responsive when we contacted them with a query about the property. On leaving we weren't 100% sure on what to do with stripped bed linen so we left all towels and stripped linen in the master bathroom. We misunderstood that there are two keys in the keypress on arrival. the front door requires two keys (a yale type lock and a dead lock type). I thought it meant two sets of keys. I presume that if people would be coming in and out at different times then the keys would need to be kept in the key press so that whoever gets back to property first can let themselves in. We could not get the dead lock key to work. Only the yale lock was used when we arrived. The doorbell unit would only work 10% of the time so it may possibly require a new battery. We were extremely happy and satisfied with our stay in this lovely property.

Lovely cottage and would definitely stay again

House was really clean and we had everything we needed, apart from the tv not working properly.

The location is simply ideal, walking distance from great pubs and restaurants. Can’t fault our stay, thank you

We’ve just spent a great week at Pirate’s Pad!

The house is clean and inviting, with everything you need for a holiday week. The owner is readily available to solve any hiccups for you. Its position is perfect, especially if, like me, you have limited mobility, as it’s just yards away from the pubs and shops. Despite this, it’s extremely peaceful (apart from the seagulls!) The backyard is a great sun trap at limited times of day, with large table, chairs and bbq. Beds are comfy, the bath is devine, showers faultless and the provision of 3 loos is a bonus! Our only disappointment was the problems trying to access terrestrial TV! We had the pleasure of meeting Becky and Zoe, the changeover team - lovely friendly folk! (They even kindly negotiated a later checkout for us!) This is our 4th stay in Mevagissey, and this property is by far the best we’ve stayed in! Thanks, Jo and Julie! If we ever return to Meva, we’ll hopefully find a free week with you!

This house is lovely, beautifully fitted out and very comfortable.

The position is perfect.

We loved the house.

Really well presented. Very clean. Nice touch with the google speaker. The only negative was the TV"s couldn't pick up terrestrial, but the BT downstairs still worked. All in all, a lovely place.

Pirates Pad was absolutely perfect for a week in Mevagissey.

The property is beautiful, really well maintained, was perfectly cleaned and welcoming and is in a really great location. The kitchen is well kitted out with everything needed and the furniture throughout is comfortable and luxurious. Fabulous big comfy beds and powerful showers. Parking space nearby was included which was really convenient and the lovely harbour is just around the corner so you can watch the seals and cormorants any time and are close to the restaurants and pubs . We had a really well needed perfect break and I can't wait to book again. Thank you Pirates Pad

Such a great house in a great location.

Had everything we wanted and the kids loved it x

Everything was excellent and the PAD was superb only issue was having to leave as early as 9am.

Fantastic premises made the holiday so relaxing.

Owners very friendly and helpful. See you again soon.

This is a perfectly located house, right in the centre of Mevagissey with all the coffee shops, restaurants, pubs and gift shops.

Parking at a nearby car park was included in our stay. We did have a couple of issues and the owner was quick to contacts us. We are a family of four adults and the accommodation worked for us. The very top floor isn’t easily accessible with the low ceilings, but able bodied people should be fine.

The house is in a good location close to the harbour, shops and bars.

A Cream tea was a lovely surprise upon arrival. The kitchen is well laid out with a range cooker and dishwasher. Our first weekend away after lockdown 3 was perfect.

Superb house.

Spotlessly clean and we felt safe under current Covid restrictions. Exactly as described - owner very prompt to respond when we had a technical issue with TV (user error!!!). Faultless stay.

Pirates Pad is a lovely, comfortable house in an ideal location.

Everything is good quality and is all in good working order. We will definitely look at staying there again.

We had a lovely week in Mevagissey - we were lucky with the weather and were happy mostly just pottering around the harbour and local beaches.

I would thoroughly recommend both Mevagissey and Pirate's Pad, a beautiful house with comfortable beds and everything you need for a holiday.
