Glad you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for your review. Hope you return to us again in the future.
Lovely property with a real 'home from home' feel. Just a short walk into beautiful Mevagissey. Will definitely be returning! We had great communication from the host with lots of information and recommendations.

Thanks for your review. Look forward to you returning to Prospect Cottage in the future.
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.

Thanks for your lovely review. Hope you visit us again in the future.
Lovely cottage in central position. Short walk out the back of property to restaurants, shops and harbour. Very comfortable and clean, we had an enjoyable stay.
Beautiful cottage in a great location, very clean and well presented. Have stayed a few times and it never disappoints, looking forward to returning in April.
The cottage delivered a fantastic Cornish experience which we will cherish for years to come. It has authentic character and charm while still having all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Just be ready for a few tight stairs.Mevagissey and the surrounding area has a lot to offer, providing a wonderful mix of natural beauty and amazing history.

A great property in a wonderful location above Mevagissey with fantastic views.
Spacious, warm and comfortable with everything we needed. Very quiet location but only a few minutes walk to the village. We had a very happy stay.

Thanks for your lovely review Diana. Good to hear you enjoyed Prospect Cottage!
Lovely property, centrally located and well equipped. Tasmin was a very attentive host and answered any questions that we had. We had a very enjoyable stay
The cottage has been really beautifully renovated. The location is perfect with an awesome view which you can enjoy both inside and outside the property. Everything you could need is provided (we were blessed with good weather, so were able to have a barbecue). Would definitely recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Tamsin Moyle
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
