Waves End
Description
Wave’s End, an enchanting ground-floor apartment in a 200 year old cottage designed for the perfect romantic retreat on the sea front at Portmellon. The cottage is just over the hill from the picturesque fishing village of Mevagissey in Cornwall.
Boasting only 12 metres from your door onto the beach, captivating sea views, and an ambiance steeped in romance, Wave’s End invites couples to escape and cherish quality time together. Step into your romantic haven and immerse yourself in the serene atmosphere of this Cornish hideaway. The living and dining area, adorned with a woodburning stove, sets the stage for relaxing evenings in. Create delectable meals in the fully-equipped kitchen or savour an intimate dinner for two in the homely setting of the living/dining room; alternatively, enjoy your first glass of fizz in the sunshine, admiring the breath-taking sea views, and planning your upcoming itinerary. As the day winds down, retire to the bedroom featuring a plush kingsize bed, or indulge in a leisurely soak in the bathroom, complete with a bath and shower over. Waves End ensures a memorable and rejuvenating holiday, where every moment is crafted for romance. Unlock a world of beauty and adventure just outside your front door. Step out your front gate straight onto the beach at Portmellon when you can hire a paddle-board or Kayak from the ‘Shack’ in the bay, or just sit on the sea wall to watch the ever changing sea views. Walk the costal path to the right and in 15 mins you will find yourself at chapel points where there is regular sighting of seals. Mevagissey village is only a four minute drive from the cottage or a 15 minute walk over the hill, perfect for a meander through the cobbled streets, where you can explore local pubs, eateries, and craft shops. If you're in the mood, The Rising Sun Inn in Portmellon, offers a convenient option for a refreshing drink, or you can venture into Mevagissey, which provides an abundance of pubs and lots of restaurants to enjoy! Immerse yourself in the village's history at the harbour museum, and on rainy days, explore the free aquarium. Venture to St. Austell for a day of discovery, where the nearby Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, and historic Charlestown harbour beckon. For a change of scenery, take a short ferry ride to Fowey, where you can marvel at the stunning south coast and keep an eye out for dolphins and basking sharks. For a night of romance, Truro awaits with its stunning Georgian architecture, culinary delights, and cultural experiences at the Hall for Cornwall. Start planning your Cornish escape today and let Wave’s End be the backdrop for your romantic getaway.

What guests are saying
Fabulous location a step or three from the sea wall, and the beautiful beach.
We really appreciated the detailed and clear instructions for parking and key retrieval, which made our arrival seamless. The parking at the rear was convenient, and we only used the car twice during the whole week. Waves End is cosy, warm, inviting, well-equipped with all the comforts. Everything has been well thought out, from the decor to all the functional things eg heating, speaker, smart TV, box of blankets and a welcome cream tea in the fridge. We enjoyed cooking, the log burner and quiet time on the terrace in the October sunshine! We loved the Rising Sun Inn up the road, and joined the pub quiz one evening, and live music on Sunday afternoon. The Shack next to the pub is open when the pub isn't, for coffee, tea, drinks, baked goods (excellent pasties) and a sea view. It's a 20 mins walk (uphill, but you will be rewarded) to Mevagissey and we had the pleasure of the Mevagissey Shandy Festival during our stay. The only slight drawback with the accommodation being underneath The Loft flat above, is the transfer of noise. It's an unfortunate side effect of the building's acoustics rather than any especially loud behaviour (although our stay coincided with him having a relentless cough). Now that we are home, we are missing the beautiful view, lazy days and Cornish hospitality.bit was a perfect autumn break and we loved Waves End.
Accommodation perfect for two - everything you could need in an ideal setting.
Good communication throughout. In fact, loved it so much have rebooked for next year.
Great location and perfect for a couple getaway.
We loved the views, decor, extra supplies, being so close to the beach and short walk to Meva. Minor points: We couldn’t find a baking tray so had to buy one / parking offsite in general ok but busy time of year meant it was tricky 1-2 days. Tip: you need to find/follow the instructions for locking the front door!
