    “Perfect location, close to the shops pubs and restaurants.”

    Spotlessly clean. Big windows letting in lots of light and views over the harbour. It was priced at the high end and at that price there is an expectation which I feel wasn't quite met. Positives:- really good quality reasonably equipped kitchen; huge lounge / dining area; three good size bedrooms (all on floor 1) and a quality fitted bathroom. Good power shower. Location. And even though it's in the centre of a busy fishing town/village it was quiet at night. But there are negatives:- ...

    Spotlessly clean. Big windows letting in lots of light and views over the harbour. It was priced at the high end and at that price there is an expectation which I feel wasn't quite met. Positives:- really good quality reasonably equipped kitchen; huge lounge / dining area; three good size bedrooms (all on floor 1) and a quality fitted bathroom. Good power shower. Location. And even though it's in the centre of a busy fishing town/village it was quiet at night. But there are negatives:- the lounge tv is old and outdated and not a smart tv. Most people stream tv now and Netflix is the norm. There was an ancient dvd player but no DVDs. The cottage description says - a great spot to curl up with your loved ones in front of the fire (there isn't one) to watch a film (there is no way to watch film unless one that suits the whole family is on terrestrial tv). The lounge lighting needs to be reviewed as only 1 tiny lamp downstairs and it was too dark. We had to fetch a lamp down from a bedroom. Curtains downstairs are old, and threadbare. A proper Welcome pack is needed, I've never stayed in a cottage or airbnb that doesn't greet you with tea, coffee, sugar and a pint of milk in the fridge these days. We had a 7 hour drive to get there; a cuppa on arrival would have been nice. After searching the kitchen we found a handful of out of date coffee sachets and some old artificial sweeteners. Towels - 1 bath towel, 1 medium towel and 2 hand towels between us, for a week? Could we have had at least a bath towel each? It felt like the cottage was supplied with the minimum of necessities. The bedrooms were pretty uncomfortable. They look nice but are quite bare. The windows rattle. Beds were not great, with no Headboards. There are strong doggy smells on the bedroom carpets - they need cleaning or replacing. Bedrooms generally were a disappointment as just not very comfortable - we didn't sleep well and moved around trying all the beds! Internet instructions are incorrect in the welcome book, in fact the welcome book was lacking in a lot of ways. We had to work out the internet ourselves. Took us a while to get the oven on some instructions might help. On the whole this is a lovely well positioned holiday cottage but we would not stay again - it lacks finish and isn't very comfortable. I've only written this detailed review because it was priced at the high end costing us nearly £300 night. I use Airbnb a lot these days and the holiday home market has changed. Airbnb properties are offering more of everything including more luxury and comfort especially at this price range. Tea, coffee, and milk on arrival, even wine jam biscuits chocolate and local produce. A Smart tv is absolutely the norm and a basic item now. On the whole the cottage was a let down. Sadly we left two days early as the beds were so uncomfortable and the doggy smells upstairs started to be overwhelming. This property could be fabulous with a bit of investment and TLC. It's the difference that makes people revisit and recommend places to others. On the plus side Mevagissey is lovely, the fresh fish from the harbour a delight. The locals really friendly and a great choice on offer for dining out.

The property

This traditional, stone-built cottage sits in a picturesque, elevated location overlooking the Cornish fishing village of Mevagissey.

4 Elm Terrace offers spacious accommodation, ideal for a fun-packed Cornish break for a family of six and two well-behaved pets, whilst set conveniently near a host of eateries, pubs, shops, the coastline, and the marina.

Be greeted into 4 Elm Terrace by its fabulous living/dining space, a bright and fresh room with plenty of plush seating, making for a delightfully peaceful spot to curl up with your loved ones and watch a favourite film together in front of the electric fire.

Next door you’ll find the well-equipped kitchen, perfect for rustling up delicious meals to enjoy whilst gathered around the dining table, both with plenty of charming seaside features to remind you of your wonderful coastal location.

A staircase lies centrally to the room, bringing you up to the first floor where you will find the three well-presented bedrooms, including a king-size with views of the stunning harbour at Mevagissey, a double, and a twin.

The interior is complete with a sleek family bathroom, where you can relax in a soothing bubble bath after a day of venturing along the Roseland Heritage Coast.

There is no shortage of things to do in Mevagissey as it provides a wealth of highly-regarded restaurants, bars and cafés, as well as a picturesque harbour that’s home to a museum and an aquarium.

Alternatively, the popular town of St Austell is just over five miles away, promising a lovely day out with its array of shops.

For further attractions, discover Charlestown and its Shipwreck Treasure Museum, and its history-rich port, or continue on towards Par, to tour the Eden Project, opt for an exhilarating afternoon of adventure sports, or take a stroll around the pretty grounds of Tregrehan Garden.

Make your family holiday one to remember with a stay at 4 Elm Terrace.
