While unassuming from the outside the cottage is very modern and spacious, in a lovely location in the middle of the village. It was warm and cosy and everything worked great.

Great place to stay

Great weekend in Mevagissey at Pirans Cottage. The cottage was lovely, very well presented, extremely clean and close to everything. We parked at Willow car park which was an easy walk to the property therefore we didnt have to negotiate the narrow streets of Mevagissey in the car. Once there we had everything we needed and more. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely cottage in a great location

We had a lovely time, the cottage is modern and very central to the harbour, we happened to be their during Feast week which was great with a number of groups and bands, a carnival and fireworks. Minor downside is the single bathroom which can be a challenge when there are 4/5 people in the cottage

Charming Coastal Getaway

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Piran's Cottage. The property was spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable, making it feel like a true home away from home. The beds were cozy, and the living space was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The kitchen was well-equipped, and we appreciated the little touches like fresh towels and local information. Its location, just a short stroll from the harbor and village center, made it easy to enjoy Mevagissey's charm without needing a car. Piran's Cottage was the perfect retreat, and we would happily return!

Super clean, home from home property

Matched exactly description given of property and contents. Was a pleasure to stay at this property so comfortable, clean and with everything you would need provided. All shops, harbour and facilities on the doorstep. Lovely crafts displayed for sale in nearby church hall where a small cafe also serves very tasty and very reasonably priced meals, pastries, cakes and beverages all day on Wed, Thurs and Fri during holiday season.

We stayed for a short break Monday - Friday. Everything was great and beyond our expectations. The accommodation is exactly as the website. Very comfy beds, lovely decor and very well equipped. Spotlessly clean. Little touches made a big impact. The large umbrella was very useful by the front door! Really hope we can find time to stay again.

The cottage was in the perfect location, literally a couple of minutes walk from the Harbour. The Cottage had everything that we wanted and everything was to a very high standard. We loved it. Every cupboard housed a little extra something.... games, batteries, torches and then all the etxras in the kitchen, tea, coffee, biscuits, washing up essentials......no need to pack any of it. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. The parking permit was a great added bonus

This property is so lovely, immaculately clean, comfortable, stylish and ideally located. Plenty of space, it has been very well thought out and designed. Beds are super comfy with luxury linen. We parked up outside to unload and load, directions were clear. Really isn't anything I can say bad about the place. It was lovely and i would definitely stay there again. Thankyou

Great stay

Great stay, lovely place. Well equiped and maintained. Keeps warm and cozy with ample space and great kitchen. Right downtown so close to shops, harbour, pubs, restraunts, etc. Nice living room set round electric fire gives a great gathering and socializing area. Bathrooms are well equiped and shower is all modernized and lovely. The whole place was recently updated i think so all furnishing, bathrooms, kitchen, etc are all fairly new and very nice. Whole place is well maintained, clean, modern, and updated. Made for a very enjoyable stay. Would definatelly visit again.

The PERFECT location for a visit to one of Cornwall’s most beautiful seaside towns. We stayed at Piran’s cottage with friends for an organised musical festival event in October ‘25. The accommodation is first class. It is well designed and superbly well decorated and furnished. It is spotlessly clean. There are nice touches missing too often in other properties eg adequate towels, dishwasher tablets, detergent, sponges for dishes , bin bags , coffee and tea! and basic provisions in the fridge The owner and manager have clearly given consideration to ensuring guests have the best possible time. We will be back !
