    "Seaview - A lovely, comfortable stay in this cottage."

    A wonderful view out to sea & some days we even saw dolphins swimming. The cottage had everything we needed & the Cream Tea was a nice thought from the owners. It was a short walk down the coastal path into Mevagissey which is a beautiful, quaint fishing harbour with fantastic little shops and pubs. Taxi back up to the cottage was easy to get and a good price.

    "We had a wonderful stay at this lovely, cosy place in an excellent location."

    The sea view is beautiful, you can simply sit and relax enjoy the sea view, and it’s just a short walk to the harbour and nearby beaches. There’s also a children’s playground right in front of the house, which was perfect for our family. The only minor issue was parking — it can sometimes be tricky to find a spot right outside the house. That said, we didn’t have much trouble and always found a space nearby. We were warmly welcomed with fresh scones, Cornish cream, and jam — a lovely touch. For dog owners, the enclosed backyard is ideal — we could let our dog roam freely, and he loved it. We truly enjoyed our stay and are already making plans to return next year! :)

    "Lovely bungalow with all we needed for our week in Mevagissey, the bungalow is in a lovely position overlooking the sea and only a short walk down to the harbour, we couldn’t fault this accommodation at all."

    The only issue is the parking on the road outside the property is a bit of a nightmare, as lots of people leave vehicles here and walk to other properties around the corner. This is nothing to do with the property but can be challenging when checking in and out loading and unloading

    "The house was lovely."

    Light and airy, clean and tidy and tastefully decorated. Everything one could think of was provided ....kitchen utensils and equipment, dishwasher tablets, washing pods etc. We were greeted with scones, jam and cream and Cornish shortbread and milk in the fridge - Wonderful! The details claimed that there would be plenty of on-road parking at the holiday home. Though this was potentially correct, since there was room for approx. 20 cars on the street (for 8 bungalows!), the spaces were often all filled by the time we arrived back at the holiday home. We only just managed to park on the day that we arrived, but then a good distance from the house, which made carrying luggage etc. to the house an added burden. On one occasion, we parked in a bay for 4 cars, which had a notice up saying "Residents Only Parking" since there were no other spaces available at the time. We assumed that we would be classed as residents since we were resident in the house for 1 week. Clearly not so; we received a scrawled note through the letterbox telling us not to park there "......this parking is for the council houses, not holiday lets! " So overall, this was a wonderful pace to stay and many thanks go to the owners for thinking of everything, but parking at the holiday home was certainly an issue!

    Thank you for the positive feedback, and we apologise for the parking dilemma. As you noted, there is room for residents and guests, unfortunately as it is free parking, it is used by day visitors and residents from other parts of the village as a convenient place to leave their vans and cars. There is little we can do to police this because there are no restrictions on non residential parking... we are sorry that you had to carry your bags to the house, you would have been perfectly entitled to unload outside the house.Kind regards, Brendan and Bella.

    "The property was ideal for a family with adult children, very spacious."

    The location stunning and the standard very high with special touches such as complimentary cream tea. The only issue which marred the arrangement was the utterly inefficient communications with Sykes Cottages. Impossible to contact and receive an answer within a reasonable time frame. This resulted in pre-holiday stress as we had to adjust the times due to a bereavement.

    Everything was there for us and it was very welcoming to be given scones , jam and cream as a welcome and Easter Eggs for the kids. The owners were also very helpful in responding to a query.

    "What a treat to stay in such a comfortable, well equipped and cosy property with an incredible sea view from several windows."

    There was NOTHING that hadn’t been thought of and plenty of hot water and heating available. The beds and sofas were very comfortable and great to have a dish washer, tumble drier and washing machine. Access to Mevagissey harbour and a beach was excellent albeit for the able bodied among us. Thank you.

    "Superb cottage well equipped with lots of extra's."

    Sea view, quiet location with the South Cornwall coastal path less than 100 yards away. This is a real gem of a place get up in the morning and open the curtains in the lounge and there is the sea. Get up even earlier and watch the sun rise over the sea magical. If walking is not a problem then take the coastal path down to Mevagissey there are lots and lots of steps but worth it for the eating places and shops plus the harbor.

The property

Positioned in the fishing village of Mevagissey, Cornwall is Sea View, a fabulous three-bedroom cottage.

Benefitting from stunning sea views and a prime position near the beach and a host of local amenities, Sea View is a wonderful base for a family getaway, accommodating six guests and two furry companions.

Park up to the roadside before entering the property, firstly reaching the open-plan living space, flooded with natural light and complete with homely interiors.

Rustle up meals in the well-equipped kitchen area, dine as a group around the six-seater table, or relax in front of the TV upon the plush seating on offer.

Head to the rear where you'll locate an enclosed patio area, ideal for an alfresco affair across the warmer months.

Return indoors to catch some rest, selecting between three well-appointed bedrooms; the twin and bunk rooms are located on the ground floor, serviced by a bathroom.

The final bedroom, home to a king-size bed and an en-suite is set on the first floor, enjoying elevated vistas of the shoreline.

Awaken to a stroll along the seafront, before exploring the village, starting off at Mevagissey Museum, and Mevagissey Harbour Wall, before following The Roseland Heritage Coast walking trail or heading further into the countryside to visit The Lost Gardens Heligan and its pretty blooms.

Return to the coast and enjoy a day at Porthpean Beach, head to the bustling port of Charlestown, or discover the Kidzworld Adventure Play to entertain the little ones of your party, before heading for the Eden Project and its magnificent botanical garden.

Complete your break in Truro with a stroll along the river, a tour of the cathedral and a guided visit to the Royal Cornwall Museum, before returning home for supper.

Enjoy all of this at Sea View.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.

MEVAGISSEY

St. Austell 5.5 miles; Truro 16 miles.

The perfect Cornish fishing village, with winding cobbled streets and a picturesque 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, whilst 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 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.
