About this property

Stunning Sea/Harbour Views in a Beautiful Stone Built Cottage - Village Location

  • Superb, traditional stone built cottage boasting an elevated position with stunning sea and harbour views from most rooms and overlooking the pretty fishing village of Mevagissey.
    This Grade II listed cottage has been lovingly restored and provides a great base to explore the local area - Eden project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Charlestown, Fowey, coastal walks or relax on the many beautiful beaches close by.

This was our second visit and we had another lovely stay. Such a comfortable property with everything you need for a get-away. We absolutely love Mevagissey and the cottage is so relaxing and just a stones throw away from the harbour. We will definitely be back!

What an awesome place! It was much larger than we thought split over 3 levels. Middle one has the front room and kitchen, downstairs twin room plus sun room and bathroom. Top floor twin room and king bed plus shower/bath and separate toilet. Beds were extremely comfy too. So close to all the amenities.

Beautiful cottage overlooking idilic harbour

Family of 5 adults normally presents a challenge to accommodate comfortably for a holiday, but not in this case. Prospect Cottage is a lovely family home packed with all the amenities that a family needs. Only a few minutes walk away from the magical Mevagissey harbour and an array of bars, cafes and chip shops! We had a magnificent stay and would recommend to anyone.

Lovely place in a great spot.

A beautiful and interesting cottage situated in the centre of the village, it’s no more than a couple of minutes walk anywhere. Everything you need is provided, it’s light and airy, clean and well maintained and with great views. This was our second visit and we’ve already booked for next year so, I guess, that says a lot! There’s nothing not to like.

Would go again without question and Mevagissey is a super place to visit. I would recommend this property to anyone and we're so grateful to the hosts for allowing us to 'borrow' for a little while. Also must say thank you to the cleaner who keeps it all so nice. Can't wait to go again, thank you x

This was one of the best holidays we have ever had. Perfect for older children too who could visit the shops and cafes on their own, just a couple of minutes walk away. We would very much like to return one day while we are still young enough to manage all the steep roads and steps around Mevagissey!

Beautiful Cottage in Great Location

We spent a wonderful few days at this lovely cottage. The house is cosy but there was lots of space for our family of four and two dogs. The house is beautifully decorated as well as being really well equipped. We loved sitting in the sun room and the window seats watching the world go by and looking out to sea. The location is perfect as it’s only a few minutes walk from the centre of the town and all the restaurants and shops.
