“A beautiful cottage - well appointed for a family with two toddlers.”

Very close to local shops and the harbour.

“Lovely quaint good sized cottage in a great location (up a slight slope some of which is very cobbly) not easy to take car up to cottage as reversing back down is not easy!”

Best to leave car at the bottom and walk to cottage which is only two minutes away. Very comfortable beds, small but lovely bathroom. Everything is there for you in the kitchen, only slight negative is the fridge could be bigger maybe a larger one where the breakfast bar is (which is not needed as dining room next to kitchen. Appreciate it’s a holiday cottage and we can live without a bigger fridge! There was nowhere to recycle anything, had to put all the rubbish in normal bin! Would definitely recommend this cottage as a great base to explore Cornwall and off course Mevagissy is a really quaint fishing village with very friendly people.
Mrs Newton March 2019

“Extremely well equipped and cosy house.”

Milk in the fridge and daffodils on the table were a lovely surprise.

Can’t fault the cottage, close to where we parked, walking distance to shops and pubs, steep slope both sides of cottage do wouldn’t recommend to wheelchair users, can be slippy underfoot at one side so caution needed, apart from that I couldn’t fault the cottage
Mrs Leadbetter-Caddoo February 2019

“I was extremely disappointed in Elm cottage.”

The cottage was cold. the day we arrived the bedrooms were freezing, when I called to ask how to put he heating on was told by the housekeeper it takes 24 hours to warm up, The beds felt damp. The bed linen was in a poor quality state and really needs renewing. There were chips out of a lot of the plates and bowls. It was not very clean at all with thick dust on the skirting boards.we found chewing gum behind the beds in the children’s room. There was a glass and jug by the bed. Which was covered in grime and lipstick marks. I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

“A very nice touch with mince pies and mulled wine for Christmas”

“Lovely comfortable cottage close to Mevagissey centre Well equipped and dog friendly highly recommend”
Mr Osborne August 2018

“This is a lovely cottage that is just a few paces away from the village centre and harbour.”

Things to mention. The bathroom looks new with a shower that actually works well. The beds are very comfortable, the Kitchen is well set up and the lounge area is very nice too. Dining table big enough for 6 easily. Mevagissey has so many restaurants and pubs that you hardly want to eat in anyway. Apart from the more formal restaurants, the others are all dog friendly too, as are many of the shops.
Mr Belcham August 2018

“Elm Terrace was lovely.”

Situated in the heart of Mevagissey, a minutes or so walk from the harbour, restaurants and shops. The cottage had three big bedrooms, beautiful lounge and kitchen area. Elm Terrace had everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Owners very responsive and friendly when phoned for key pick up details and extra car park space. Highly recommend and would love to visit again!!

Only a very minor point but it would have been helpful if there was a clothes airer as you can't dry all clothes in the washer/dryer

“Fabulous cottage, really well equipped.”

Would love to stay here again.
Miss Morgan June 2018

“The cottage was beautifully presented and in an amazing location!”

Would highly recommend it to others that wish to stay in Cornwall.
Mr Burgess June 2018

“Everything was as expected, very nice clean cottage in good position for the harbour, comfortable beds and furniture, what else could one ask for apart from an anti-slip mat for the shower.”

Very enjoyable stay. Thank you.
Miss Hunt May 2018

“Beautiful cottage in great location.”

We felt right at home straight away, very clean and well presented home. The added extras such as biscuits and a pint of milk on arrival was lovely.
Mr Oldroyd April 2018

“Our stay at 4 Elm Cottage: We were blessed with great weather during our visit to Mevagissey, so managed to spend most of our time outdoors enjoying the beautiful surroundings.”

And staying so close to the center of the village with all its attractions, being able to nip back 'home' to our lovely cottage, for whatever we needed through the day, was a great advantage. We found 4 Elm Terrace a delightful place to stay, and were very pleased with the overall standard of facilities and the convenience and comfort they provided - a super bonus all round..!. The cottage was presented in a spotless condition, and we have no hesitation to recommending it to anyone looking for either a short or long stay. We are certainly hoping to visit again soon. Alan and Christine Oldroyd

“This is a wonderful cottage and in a great location.”

We arrived on Saturday and by teatime there was 3ins snow. Throughout the week we experienced a variety of weather and the cottage was warm and cosy throughout. We spoke to the Owner of the cottage re keys and found her very pleasant and very informative. The cottage is a credit to the Owners.

“Fantastic cottage”

We first stayed at 4 Elm Terrace in August 2016 and loved it so much that we booked again to go this August. The cottage is quaint and bursting with character. It has plenty of space and books, jigsaws, dvds etc to borrow whilst staying there. The owners are friendly and helpful and any issues (a slight problem with the fridge door in our case) are dealt with promptly. Great care is taken to ensure guests comfort. We can't wait to visit again and would strongly recommend the cottage to others.

“Excellent traditional cottage with designer touches in great location”

We spent two very happy weeks at 4 Elm Terrace this summer. It's a really lovely place to stay - roomy, comfortable, well done up and convenient. The cottage is actually two knocked together so it is very spacious - the pictures don't quite do it justice. The conversion was well done (we even met the builder who did it while staying there) and the owners have done a superb job on the interior design. I believe they do it professionally - it certainly looks it. The kitchen is a decent size and well equipped, the open plan living room / dining room is charming, spacious and filled with nice furniture. The sofas are a real step up from typical holiday lets - big, deep, comfy and capable of wooing the unwary into mid-afternoon snoozing. The TV is large and good quality and there is a decent little stereo too so it's comfortable place unwind after a hard day's holiday on the beach or the hill. The bedrooms are big and nicely done with good-sized beds and excellent mattresses. It's very nice place to be. The cottage's position in Mevagissey is what is really special. Elm Terrace is a pedestrianized cobbled lane just on the edge of the centre of the village. This is great because it's incredibly convenient - you are literally seconds away from the sweet shop, the vegetable shop and the spar, not to mention the many pubs and restaurants. Equally the elevated position means excellent views across Mevagissey's valley and (at a sharp angle!) out to the sea. Yet you're also apart from the flow of people heading in and out of town. It's quiet, and you can sit on the cobbled lane and look out over it all while enjoying a privileged privacy. The cottage has its own bench on the lane, so you can sit in the sunshine outside the cottage and watch the world go by, from early in the morning through to 3 or 4 PM. The rest of the lane is mostly locals and we got to know many of them in our stay - they're all lovely. The main car park is a couple of minutes walk away and it's easy to park there and take your luggage (or shopping) up to the cottage. And Matt, who runs the car park, will give you a wonderful welcome to Mevagissey and show you how to get to the cottage. Mevagissey itself is fab - a wonderful, real working fishing village with an endlessly fascinating active port. It's gorgeous, it feels like you're in a different country not just from England, but from the rest of Cornwall! The countryside around Mevagissey is exquisite and there is lots to do. It's a real foodie destination too - the restaurants are tremendous, with incredible local caught seafood and excellent local produce. Downsides? For a family staying for two weeks a washing machine would have been nice, although we got the hang of the laundrette fairly well. The shower was good once it was repaired (the owners were VERY responsive when we asked about it) and the bathroom is decent but not quite as nice as the rest of the cottage. The cottage is built right into the rock and there's a teeny bit of damp smell at times, and a few moths around the place after dark. But these are really very minor issues. Mevagissey is an extraordinarily nice Cornwall holiday destination, and Elm Terrace is a fantastic base from which to enjoy it. We thoroughly recommend it, and we'd love to stay there again.

“A wonderfully well equiped delightful cottage within easy reach”

The cottage is a delight. 3 well appointed bedrooms, large living/dining room with well equipped kitchen. Within easy walking distance of the harbour and the bars and restaurants along the harbour. The public car park, for which there is a permit, is a minutes walk away from the cottage.

“Home from home”

We chose this cottage as we needed to be in Mevagissey and it looked superb on the website. We were not disappointed. It is in a superb location and has a very homely feel due to its tasteful decoration. It is also very well equipped and clean. We were there as a family over three generations (and the family dog ...) and we all fell in love with it. I recommend this cottage highly

“Lovely relaxing harbour town”

The property is lovely and is situated in a really relaxing place. Its very quiet but is still a stonesthrow from Mevagisseys harbour and shops (amongst which you will find some really nice local crafts). We had some lovely meals out at the local restaurants and pubs and the fish and chips were amazing. I think the most challenging part of the holiday was getting the car back out of the VERY VERY!! tight lane leading up to the cottage. You are warned about this but I can't emphasise enough if you have a car bigger than a mini or KA I would advise you to not even go there because it really is tight. My car came back with the injuries to prove it. So just factor in £25 extra per week for the car park just down from the house. Whats great is you are on the coast path in minutes and you are really close to Heligan gardens which is great for a day out. The property does have storage heaters which I just couldn't get the hang of as they seemed to come on at odd hours in the middle of the night and then not in the day so if you are going in the winter be prepared with some jumpers. The property doesn't have a washing machine so again factor this in if you are going for more than a week. Overall I thought the stay was great and the comments above are just minor things so people can be prepared. I would definately go back and stay there as I loved the atmosphere of Mevagissey, the property is really well decorated with some lovely touches such as candles. It's very welcoming and peaceful and the owner is extremely helpful.

“Quaint nautical cosy cottage”

This cottage is decorated throughout in a nautical theme - very pleasing and some tasteful artefacts. Good location, only a few minutes from the main shopping area and the harbour. Throughly enjoyed our holiday here.
