We had a lovely stay at the cottage. It was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Tamsin was a fantastic host and responded quickly to any questions we had.The directions provided were really helpful — definitely needed — and parking was easy. If the cottage parking space is too tight, we managed in our Jarcoo, there are car parks just a short walk away, and you can pull up outside to unload your belongings.There are so many great places to eat within walking distance, and Tamsin kindly left recommendations for her favourite spots, which we really enjoyed trying.There are a few steps inside the cottage and down into the town, but my 82-year-old mum managed them well.Thank you, Tamsin — we’d definitely come back. There’s still so much more to see and do!

What an awesome place! It was much larger than we thought split over 3 levels. Middle one has the front room and kitchen, downstairs twin room plus sun room and bathroom. Top floor twin room and king bed plus shower/bath and separate toilet. Beds were extremely comfy too. So close to all the amenities.

About the host

Hosted by Tamsin Moyle

Host profile image
I used to come to Meva as a child and have the best memories of watching the fishermen bring in their catch, eating fish and chips on the harbour and exploring the rocks and beaches nearby. I wanted my three young children to experience Cornish holidays the way I did. We found Prospect Cottage in 2016 and it had been empty and unloved for a few years - it was not in good shape! A lot of hard work has gone in to bringing it back to it's best. It's a beautiful house in a very special place and I hope you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Central location a few steps from all Mevagissey has to offer with sea views from most rooms. Walk to the Lost Gardens of Heligan, beutiful Pentewan beach or take the ferry to Fowey. A short drive will take you to the Eden project, Charlestown and many beaches to explore
