Description
The Old Bank House is a superb Grade II listed cottage, thoughtfully converted from a former bank and set in the heart of Mevagissey.
Perfect for families or friends this reverse-level three-storey abode boasts an open fire, proximity to the harbour and local amenities and is pet-friendly.Once the home of Mevagissey’s first bank, this impressive village‑centre building has been carefully renovated to a high standard, blending period character with modern comfort to create an inviting Cornish holiday retreat.
Set over three floors and just 100 yards from the harbour, the property retains a wealth of original features that reflect its heritage, adding depth and charm throughout.
The bedrooms are mainly arranged across the ground and second floors, providing quiet spaces to unwind, while the main living accommodation is positioned on the first floor, creating a stylish and sociable hub for spending time together.
The exquisite dining room is a particular highlight, featuring parquet flooring, panelled walls and a glazed ceiling that fills the space with natural light, all overlooked by a balcony from the second floor above.
Step outside and find the harbour, pubs and restaurants of Mevagissey just a short stroll away, where you can wander to the water’s edge to watch fishermen unload their catch, explore the narrow streets clustered around the quay or follow the coastal path along the headland.
Further afield, enjoy walks to the Lost Gardens of Heligan, discover the Eden Project, spend time in the cathedral city of Truro or uncover the beaches and gentle scenery of the Roseland Peninsula.
After days spent exploring harbour paths and Cornish coastlines, return to The Old Bank House to relax by the fire and enjoy life at the heart of Mevagissey.

What guests are saying
The well-equipped kitchen, comfortable adjoining lounge and huge, galleried dining room make this a fun place to stay.
Loads of bathrooms. Top floor double bedroom is lovely. Great location close to the inner harbour and main square. Evening strolls to get ice cream and spot harbour seals were good fun. If you don't know Mevagissey, the parking arrangements sound tiresome but once you understand, it makes perfect sense and the guys running the Willow car park were very helpful. Some niggles: lots of stairs. The smell of damp on the ground floor. Very low ceiling in one of the ground floor en-suites. Laundry that can't go in the tumble dryer takes ages to dry as there is no ventilation, the top floor bathroom door that opens onto the gallery doesn't bolt properly.
We had a fabulous stay at the Old Bank House.
We found it extremely comfortable, clean and well presented....but not over the top which relaxes me having dogs. The location is fabulous and very easy to get to everything. Mevagissy was an amazing place to be.
The location was perfect for us, located in the heart of the town.
The parking permit was a bonus. The beds were really comfortable and the house has everything you will need. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.
