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. In the village you can watch the fishermen bring in their catch whilst sampling the local Cornish ale or take a local fishing trip around the bay and look out for seals and dolphins.
Furnished and decorated to a high standard, this well-equipped property makes a great retreat for a family or friends. A large terrace allows you to enjoy the sunshine and watch village life and in the winter months you can cosy up by the wood burner with a good book or enjoy some of the DVD's or family games provided.

Solo trip

I've stayed at Prospect Cottage many times and it is always a joy to visi, it truly feels like a home away from home. I was meant to be staying with friends but got let down, I am so glad I decided to still make the trip. I definitely recharged, spending time at the harbour and on the coastal path. A total recharge of a weekend. Thank you Tamsin and family for sharing your beautiful home

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.
