Mevagissey Cottages
For a truly magical Cornish holiday, try one of our Mevagissey
holiday cottages located in and around this enchanting, atmospheric
fishing village.
Down at the quayside watch local fishermen tend their nets and
daily catch - lobster, plaice, skate and sole - to be featured
later as stars on the specials' boards of Mevagissey's pubs
and restaurants, often with alfresco dining areas for those balmy
summer evenings. Discover more about their centuries-old trade and
join them on a sea fishing trip.
Wander the town's attractive alleyways lined with charming
galleries, shops and craft workshops - originally haunts of
sea-faring smugglers. The beaches of Polstreath and Portmellon are a short walk
away,while neighbouring Gorran Haven offers two superb village
beaches ideal for family days out. Walks not-to-miss include
Polkirt Hill and the coastal path.
Book a Mevagissey cottage in summer and look out for Feast Week,
when the town comes alive with music, dance and carnival parades.
Or try a festive break - the town boasts a wonderful display of
Christmas lights and everyone dresses up at New Year.
