“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.

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.

- Ms Hayball, November 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 Graham, 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
“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
“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 Talipova, May 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
“Lovely , quaint cottage .”

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

- Mr Mitchell, February 2019
“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
“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

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 PS2 games console and welcoming twin beds for double the fun.

For families and couples seeking a relaxing break with attractions for all ages close by, this divine cottage is sure to make happy holiday memories.
