Polkirt Forge

We had a wonderful week at Polkirt Forge.

The owner was incredibly helpful and the cottage was great. We particularly appreciated the location, which was a few steps from teh harbour. You could get up in the morning, go down a flight of steps and straight onto a tiny beach. The beds were very comfortable, with lovely white sheets. All in all a wonderful stay.

Beautiful cottage in the centre of Mevagissey if anything the photographs don’t do justice to the standard of the fixtures and fittings.

Everything you could need is provided and the owners are very proactive in ensuring everything goes smoothly.

A great little cottage, with all the comforts of home, the views from the cottage were fantastic.

The owners were very quick to resolve an issue with the heating. Whilst there is no parking at the property (so packing light is essential) a permit is provided and the car park is a 10 minute walk away, up a steep hill. All in all a highly recommended place to stay.

What a gem of a find.

A beautiful home from home. Watching the fishing boats in harbour from lounge window with a cuppa was a joy. A short walk to all that Meva has to offer. Once day trippers had left for the day we had a real feel of being local on the evening. Lots of choice of places to eat on an evening. Just be very careful of cars which do fly past the front door on occasions (this is the only downside)

Brilliant cottage in the heart of the town.

Lovely view of the beautiful harbour. Very well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We stayed for a week and didn’t want to leave. Owners were very helpful with information. Would definitely recommend this cottage and would definitely return to Polkirt Forge.

A lovely base for access to the coastal path and exploring the area.

Excellent food at the grill on the harbour - so easily close for a takeaway and eat back at the cottage to avoid the greedy seagulls! Great to walk to the Lost Gardens of Heligan from the cottage. Lots of helpful information about the area in the upstairs lounge. Definitely worth keeping the car away from the property - a very hepful heads up from the owner before we arrived - even in June the roads were crazily busy through Mevagissey and up Polkirt Hill - all extremely narrow and very few places to pass. We had an excellent week. Would definitely recommend a ferry trip to Fowey but watch for notice of sailings in case they're cancelled due to weather/winds. Will definitely be back! :)

The cottage was really comfortable with every amenity.

Spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. It is really convenient for going down to Mevagissey with all its restaurants and cafes.

We have just returned home from Mevagissey.

We cannot rate Polkirt Forge highly enough. Cosy, comfortable, extremely well equipped and with fantastic views from the upstairs sitting room and bedroom- if the weather is not all you hoped for there is plenty to watch from these windows. The owners are on hand (at the end of a phone) and responsive without being intrusive. We have earmarked this rental for a definite return. Thank you.

The property provided more than just a base.

It felt like home

The cottage was just perfect, comfortable and well equipped.

Not too far up the hill to make it an effort to get back. My husband has a painful knee! The views from the cottage were out of this world, We wil be happy to book again in the future. Malcolm and Jenny Husselbee

We very much enjoyed our stay at Polkirt Forge.

The cottage was very comfortable, and the views of the harbour from the upstairs bedroom and sitting room were excellent. A great place to watch boats coming and going around the harbour, and very pretty looking out at night. The cottage had everything we needed, and was a very relaxing place to be. It was well placed for walking to the range of shops and places to eat in Mevagissey. Nearby steps made it easy to get down to the harbour. We’d be very happy to stay again.

An anti slip mat in down stairs shower as shower tray very slippery when wet.

Everything was very clean. Very well situated for for all amenities.

We enjoyed the cottage and were particularly impressed with the location.

This however may cause difficulties for those with mobility issues. The property is comfortable for four people and nicely equipped.

Superb property, as described.

Warm and comfortable with harbour views from top floor. Very well equipped and quality throughout. Great walks nearby. Great communication and assistance from owner.

Spotless and fully equipped with everything you could want.

Fantastic little extras like coffee machine with pods and smart tv. The cottage was warm on cold mornings and perfectly located for tramping the southwest coast path. Would not hesitate to recommend it.

Couldn't recommend this cottage highly enough.

Great communication from the owner, perfect location. The cottage was spotless on arrival and full of extra little touches to make our stay one of the best we have had in Cornwall. Thanks Barry

We had a wet week and the cottage was quite damp especially in the downstairs bedroom.

Our clothes felt damp would have liked control of the heating of a morning but we would go back to the the house again it has not put us off. The house was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped.

this cottage exeeded all expectations, beautifully decorated perfectly clean.

the cottage is also very well equiped, the owners of polkirt forge are really nice people and they really go the extra mile to ensure your stay is enjoyable.we certainly would go there again and would whole heartedly recomend polkirt forge to anyone...steve & gill

Our stay at Polkirk Forge was great!

The cottage is in a perfect location, we loved Meva and enjoyed coming back to the comfort of The Forge after our days out on the beach at Gorran, walking the coast and exploring. The cottage is very spacious and has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. I would have preferred darker bedroom curtains for those holiday lie ins but it was still a 5 star place to stay for us! We would definitely book to stay again. Many thanks for the extra information provided by Barry to help us on arrival and ensure a smooth start to our holiday.

This is an excellent property with great attention to detail paid.

The furnishings are very comfortable, the kitchen very well equipped and there is WiFi and a smart TV. There are games, books, children's toys, beach toys /mats and even some trekking poles provided. It is in a good location with restaurants, pubs and a few reasonable shops in close walking distance. We had a lovely week here!

We enjoyed our stay at Polkirt Forge enormously.

The cottage itself was spotless, comfortable, and well-appointed, while Mevagissey is a lovely little village with shops, pubs, and restaurants all within easy walking distance. We would definitely recommend this to anyone planning a Cornwall getaway.

This accommodation exceeded our expectations!

The Cottage had everything we needed including a well appointed kitchen for cooking. We loved it and would highly recommend

Excellent cottage.

I would definitely book again because I couldn’t fault it in anyway. The owner Barry emailing all the cottage information before arrival was very helpful and a nice touch. I would recommend the cottage to anyone.

We loved every minute of our stay at Polkirt Forge!

The property has been fitted out to high specs and the attention to detail was evident and so appreciated. We appreciated the lovely linen, decent knives, crockery, cutlery, rooms, bathrooms and stunning views! A quick walk down stone stairs leads you to a tiny little sandy beach close to a fab little Aquarium, which our twins loved. We all soon got used to the tiny roads and absolutely loved the look and feel of Mevagissey.

A lovely property with a great view and facilities made a very enjoyable holiday in the beautiful surroundings of Mevagissey.

Great communications from the owner before and during the stay.

A faultless experience all round.

The cottage is immaculately presented and everything is very well thought through, from the super-helpful info pack to all the bits and bobs in the kitchen, plus easy and seamless communication with Barry & Carol make Polkirt Forge one we can highly recommend without hesitation.

This is a lovley property, it is so well equipped and modern .

I wouldnt like to take very young children as it is on a busy narrow hill and is quite precarious to walk along. It is very quiet at night . We loved that the lounge is upstairs the view across the harbour is sublime. Mevagissey is a lovely town and near to the Eden project, the lost gardens of heligan and lovely walks. If you book this wonderful cottage make sure you book your restaurants before as everything was booked up for months. Our favorite was Salamander, really lovely food , with just being the two of us we ate out every night . But if you are a family the kitchen is very well equipped. The owners have thought of everything.

We loved staying here.

The location was perfect - less than a minute from excellent restaurants and the waterfront. Mevagissey was a fantastic base - we liked wandering the harbour, enjoyed the shops and restaurants, took the ferry to Fowey, and walked the coastal path to various beaches. The upstairs of the house in particular was excellent with harbour views and modern furnishings, and the kitchen and bathroom were both well equipped. The welcome pack and support from the owners was brilliant. We would stay again.

Fantastic location, not for the faint hearted with the luggage, otherwise excellent

A charming cottage just a stone’s throw from the harbour of the lovely village of Mevagissey.

Very comfortable and well equipped, it suited our needs perfectly. The only downside was lack of nearby parking.

Polkirt Forge is located just next to the harbour - there are steps down to it and a tiny beach you can access at low tide which our children adored.

Views of the harbour and out to sea are glorious. We loved being right in the village as you are right on top of everything. The road outside is very narrow but the owners make it easy by giving you a permit to the car park 5 mins walk away, which is very safe. We had a lot of stuff to unload, so had to brave the road which was interesting!! If you don’t have too much, best to walk through the village. The info given by the owners was comprehensive and helpful, apart from recycling which we couldn’t find. There is everything in the house that you would need, from cooking utensils to beach stuff and even though some ornaments have been taken out recently due to COVID, the house still feels homely and welcoming. The one thing I would say is that the downstairs feels a little damp, but there is a washer drier to use if necessary. There is also a washing line in the small courtyard. This is a lovely place to come for a holiday. We really didn’t want to leave!

Great accommodation, well organised host , property very clean and well appointed.

Spotlessly clean, everything was there that u would ever need. Great location . Checking in and out seamless .

Best accommodation we experienced on a six week trip around the UK.

A really lovely well-equipped house overlooking the harbour. Very spacious and comfortable with every modern convenience you can think of. A parking voucher provided for the local car park was a very handy bonus.

Fabulous, we were also lucky enough to have lovely weather.

The property provided everything you need and more, very clean and very comfortable, easy to find, easy access and instructions were easy to follow. Car park was very helpful too. Local pubs, restaurants and shops very accommodating and friendly. We love Cornwall and we love Mevagissey, been coming for over 50 years (we have family here too) Easy to drive around (everything is well sign posted) just be aware of the narrow bendy roads. Would recommend the Polkirt Forge for a comfortable stay. Thank you

Perfect location, communication and facilities.

The location was perfect along with the house. Really you would find hard to not enjoy the stay. Initially the walk to find the cottage but, once you work out the village setup it was great

Excellent would recommend.

central . very homely and everything there you need. small touches

A home from home.

Everything you would ever need. Great Location and lay out.

Perfect little property.

Beautifully situated ear the harbour, sea views and for access to local amenities and attractions such as Helligan, the South Coast Way and the Eden Project.

Stunning cottage with a spectacular view!

Looking forward to going back!

Fantastic cottage , everything was perfect definitely coming back

A beautiful property with stunning views of the sea.

clean, comfortable and very well stocked.

Beautiful house in a wonderful location.

The facilities were excellent and the house is beautifully decorated. The view from the living room and top floor bedroom is stunning. It's very easy to get into town, either down the road or via the steps, straight onto the harbour. Highly recommended
