Staff exceptional. Position Exceptional all round a really lovely place to stay
Excellent small hotel with great views of Mevagissey bay
Very welcoming family hoteliers with good attention for details to make your stay Very enjoyable
Absolutely wonderful stay, the hosts couldn't do enough for us. The room, food and service were all outstanding, and the views across the bay are beautiful. Loved it!
A great hotel with a wonderful view of the sea. Sam and Roy were both very welcoming and were brilliant hosts. Very comfortable bed and the breakfast in the morning was really nice. A great find, which I hope to return to! Would highly recommend.
The hotel was set in a lovely area with a fantastic view of the harbour. The staff were incredibly friendly without trying too hard at the same time, especially Sam who answered all of our requests. The breakfast was also exceptional and we now regret not eating an evening meal there which was offered although you do have to book early to get what you want.
Overall its a great place to stay and I would recommend it to visitors.
We would definitely stay there again.
Sam and Roy were perfect hosts and did everything possible to make our stay very memorable. The views from the hotel are stunning and we would highly recommend it to others! Thanks again for a brilliant 3 nights!
We had a lovely 3 night stay at Mevagissey Bay Hotel. Sam and Roy, the owners, are awesome and amazing hosts. They were very accommodating and welcoming. The bay views from the hotel were incredible. We had an ocean view room that was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious with homemade granola and made to order eggs. Highly recommend.
Beautiful hotel with amazing views of the ocean and rolling hills and sheep! And a parking spot! Very clean beautifully appointed and the hosts were so kind, helpful and hospitable. We would stay there again for sure.
I think this is one of the best places I have ever stayed at. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was lovely and Sam and Roy are the perfect hosts and the view from the bar is fantastic. We will be returning asap
Mevagissey Bay Hotel is amazing, beautiful, clean and freshly refurbished throughout the hotel the bedroom was no exception. Owners Roy and Sam couldn't be more friendly or helpful with nothing being to much trouble. Breakfast was cooked with fresh local ingredients and Roy's homemade granola is worth another visit on its own. Views from the lounge and dining room are stunning.
Very nice couple running this small (11 rooms) at top of the bay, excellent breakfast and large modern room. Views are great, small park nearby with steep walk down to harbour as alternative to road. Parking (free) outside hotel fine. Eden and NT property about 17 min drive. Evening meals (currently) Friday Saturday Sunday ( no comment as not there then) Breakfast excellent, and tea (extra) on balcony was great for view
The weather was brilliant during our stay and the ambiance of this well run hotel certainly matched the sunshine. Clean, bright and friendly. Lovely suntrap terrace with views to die for, especially if you are enjoying an afternoon home made scone cream tea! Our room had it's own terrace, was roomy, spotless and very comfortable.
AMAZING! Gorgeous views! Sam and Roy are the friendliest! Feels like a warm air BNB even though it is called a hotel. Beyond lovely. Breakfast is large. You can walk out the door and you’re a block away from the coastal path or 2 blocks from the restaurants. Felt safe even walking solo at night.
