Mrs Johnson

“A lovely cottage, over 3 floors.”

Not really suitable for small children / elderly as the stairs are very steep. The kitchen is well stocked with plates / cutlery / pans etc. The bathroom is functional with little head room for a shower. The kitchen floor looked liked it needed a deep clean, but the rest of the house was spotless. The mattress on the double bed was very soft.

“Cottage too cramped, outside area untidy, no nice view from windows and definitely no suitable for pets.”

- Mrs Rowden, October 2020

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. We were sorry Seagull Cottage was not suitable for you. The property is a spacious cottage suitable for 4 people with a dining room to seat 6, a lounge with seating for 5 and 2 bedrooms sleeping 4, this is the first ever comment received stating it is cramped. The website describes the property very specifically. The location is also great, only 50 metres from the harbour and less than 2 minutes from the local pubs and restaurants. Whilst do not describe the property as having direct views of the harbour it is based in a very quiet location. You are the first to suggest the property is not pet friendly, having had many 4 legged visitors who all enjoy the park for late night walks less than 2 minutes away and the long headland walks up the valley towards Helogan where they are able to be let off the lead. Had we been notified of any issues with the outside area during your stay we would have been most happy to have tried to rectify the issue for you however without knowing the full details we are unable to comment further.

Mrs Pike October 2020

“The cottage is ideally situated in the centre of Mevagissey, but sadly, this cottage failed to meet our expectations especially given Sykes four tick rating.”

The facilities were very basic and tired.Basic supplies, such as a bin liner in the kitchen bin, had not been left and the cleanliness was poor (for example, finding previous tenants rubbish in the bask et by the fire). the fridge freezer was also broken upon arrival. Difficult to sleep due to the light outside the bedroom window (even with the black out blind) and the water tank in the main bedroom refilling throughout the night. This could be a lovely cottage but it feels neglected and in need of some care.

- Mrs Pike, October 2020

Thank you for taking the time to send us your comments. It is disappointing that there were some issues during your stay. Had you contacted us at the time, we would have done our upmost to rectify any issues as necessary. We will be visiting the property and will give any feedback to the owner. We do hope you will book with us again in the future. Owner relations
Mrs Townend July 2020

“The cottage was beautiful and quirky, in a fantastic central location close to the harbour.”

It is a cosy property and ideal for a small family. The children loved the attic room (although owners take note - it needs a fan; it gets very warm up there on hot days). The kitchen is well equipped, the beds comfortable and the bathroom is great (but shower is very low, no real issue for me but annoying for taller guests). Overall, we had a wonderful holiday.

Ms King February 2020

“We have just returned from a week in Seagull Cottage, it was a lovely little cottage nestled a quiet courtyard just back from the Harbour.”

I would say that I take on board some of the other comments the main one being the bright outside light that floods the bedroom we had to buy travel eye masks just to be able to sleep. I definitely would reccomend that a new hover is required as the one in the property is very poor. The cottage was well equipped and felt very homely. I would reccomend this cottage but please be aware the stairs are steep and a little slippy under foot. The ground floor is tiled throughout and is very cold under foot so bring your slippers! A pretty cosy cottage that would benefit from some improvements but still a lovely holiday cottage. We have already re booked to come back to Mevagissey next February but we have booked a different cottage with Sykes.

- Ms King, February 2020

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed your recent stay at Seagull Cottage. There is a blind in the bedroom which will block out any outside light. Our photographs do show that the floor is tiled in the kitchen/dining area and in the text we advise that the stairs in the cottage are steep, open tread stairs, which the photographs also confirm. We will ask the housekeeper if she could check the hoover. We are pleased that you have already booked to come back to Mevagissey next year and hope that you have a lovely time. Owner relations
Ms Hayball November 2019

“Seagull cottage is very quaint, cosy and comfortable.”

It is in a great location for exploring Mevagissey and the beautiful Cornish coastline, towns and countryside. The stairs are extremely steep, the floors are slanted & the shower is very low & between beams which all add to the cottage's quirkiness but would be challenging for some guests. There was a lovely Cornish cream tea welcome pack which was much appreciated & all linen & towels were crisp & clean. The carpets & some parts of the cottage would benefit from a deep clean.

Mrs Graham September 2019

“Great location, the best fish and chips have ever had at the fisherman's chippy.”

Sweet cottage the stairs and the shower were a little challenging. Thank you for the cream tea a nice touch.

Mrs Fuller September 2019

“We loved this fully equipped, stylishly decorated, light and spacious, quirky, and comfortable cottage which had everything we could possibly need for a self catering holiday.”

. Nice welcome pack. Lovely clean white linen and towels. Perfect location. I loved being able to go down to the harbour and watch the day break. Friendly locals. Very bright light outside the bedroom window but there is blind which would block it out, unfortunately I only discovered it as we were leaving so just thought I'd let people know it's there. The vacume cleaner wasn't very efficient which meant that we had to live with the previous occupiers dog hair. The cream coloured carpet showed signs of disrespect and was a bit stained ...could do with a good clean. Couldn't get the TV to work but perhaps that was a bonus. Not surprisingly, for a very old and authentic fisherman's cottage it smelt a bit damp but that wasn't a problem for us. It was warm and cosy. Not suitable for people with a disability or anyone with an allergy to dogs. All in all a positive experience.

- Mrs Fuller, September 2019
Mrs Maye May 2019

“We had a fantastic holiday at the cottage.”

Missed having a garden with having the dog but that made me get up early and walk around the harbour when the fishing boats were going out. Loved it, loved it, loved it!

- Mrs Maye, May 2019
Mrs Talipova May 2019

“The owners have made sure there is everything for us to enjoy while at the Seagull cottage in Mevagissey.”

Not only they have given great restaurant suggestions and provided access to Netflix and fuel for their wood burner, they also welcomed us with cream tea waiting. The only highlight was that fudging from the positive comment in the guestbook there have been lots of dogs that came with previous families which did cause asthma attacks. On your website this property is listed as “no pets”, so on your website, you should change that part, so that people who suffer from allergies and/or asthma do not struggle in the property and people with pets are able to come.

Mrs Davies-morris April 2019

“Our dog found the steep wooden steps difficult he became lame on the second day and I think it was due to him hurting himself on them so if to the vets we went.”

The bed on the first floor was uncomfortable and seemed to slant so neither of us slept well, difficult to dry clothes. Careful in the shower beams to bump your head on! Fantastic location very close to the harbour in a beautiful village.

- Mrs Davies-morris, April 2019
Mr Mitchell February 2019

“Lovely , quaint cottage .”

Small and charming and fantastic location in the village . Just what you expect from a Cornish Cottage .

- Mr Mitchell, February 2019
Mr Wylde August 2018

“Lovely cottage with everything you need, and lovely village.”

Shower is uncomfortablly low for anyone 5’ 10” upwards and I hit my head repeatedly on the beams whilst showering but that’s what fits in a small cottage I guess. 3rd floor floorboards VERY noisy for those below them.

- Mr Wylde, August 2018
Mr Ogden June 2018

“Stairs hard to negotiate shower rather low.”

But a quirky cottage in the middle of the resort we have happy memories of a fantastic holiday

- Mr Ogden, June 2018
Mr Woodbridge November 2017

“What a lovely cottage, clean warm, snug, lovely kitchen.”

In the centre of town next to the shops, pubs and restaurants, 50 yards from the harbour. We have already said we will be back next year.

The property

Cocooned almost harbourside on the Riviera coastline, this cute cottage delivers charisma in spades!

Tucked away in a little cobbled courtyard just 50 yards from the quay at Mevagissey, Seagull Cottage is a stones throw from centuries-old inns, tearooms and restaurants.

Discover the quaint streets lined with fishermen's cottages, smugglers' haunts and seaside shops.

A cream tea or pasty lunch is never far away after a browse around the galleries.

Fishing boats deliver their daily catch on the harbourside.

Befriend a fisherman and bag a fresh lunch of mackerel, crab and lobster, purchased straight from the boat.

Catch a ferry to the much favoured sailing resort of Fowey, famed for Regatta Week and Daphne du Maurier.

An array of eateries, galleries and traditional inns fringe characterful lanes down to the waterside.

Portmellon beach, with scenic coastal path, is a 10 minute stroll away and nearby Pentewan offers a mile of sand, perfect for surfside picnics and sandcastle escapades.

Exploring from this pretty cottage is easy, with Heligan Gardens, Charlestown with historical square-rigged tall ships and the Eden Project all nearby.

Tee off at the Carlyon Bay Golf Course and St Austell, five miles north, will cater for all your provisions.

Seagull Cottage is an enchanting bolthole, perfectly formed for a quintessential homestay by the sea.

The accommodation, with its rustically homely interior, offers a real flavour of Cornish cheer.

There is a cute kitchen and dining space with exposed stone walls and open-tread stairs leading up to the sitting room.

Relax with a book and a glass of Shiraz by the cosy wood burner and snugly sofa.

The double bedroom is a haven of coastal charm promising restful sleep and the second floor is home to the twin bedroom.

Positioned under the eaves (with some height restriction) it makes the ideal den for adults and children alike, with welcoming twin beds for double the fun.

Spend some time at the Tall Ships harbour at Charlestown (7 miles) with its shipwreck museum, or among the tropical biomes of the world-famous Eden Project (11 miles). The stunning coastline, fabulous beaches and renowned gardens of the beautiful Roseland Peninsula are a short drive down the coast while Truro, with its shops, restaurants, theatre and cathedral can be reached by car in half an hour.
