“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.

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

“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.

“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.

“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.

“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!

“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.

“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.
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 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.

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.

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.
