Stunning Views

As others have mentioned the view from the conservatory is stunning over the sea, town, harbour, surrounding fields and the valley. We were able to do several long walks straight from the house without taking the car and it's just a few minutes to walk into town and quay. The house is clean, comfortable, spacious and provided all we needed. The hostess was very helpful.

Our stay at Blue Waters

The property was terrific and we enjoyed the week. We do have concerns about the parking, an accidental foot on the accelerator rather than the brake could be life threatening, a higher barrier would help. A map of the village (shop) or directions would have been nice as we were unable to bring perishable basic provisions. Of course, exploring is part of the fun. With all that Blue Waters is a lovely property as is Mevagissey itself, perfect for exploring the many beautiful local houses & gardens:-Trewithen, Pencarrow and Pinetum stood out among the, more popular (&expensive) local ones. Ben's excellent Fish & Chips did two meals, scallops from the harbour hut and the curry were also good. We hope to return next year.

Blue Water Mevagissey

The property is has two large bedrooms with a double bed in one and two single beds in the other. The house is well fitted out with every thing you could possibly need from a TV to washing machine and fridge. The house is situated on Battery Terrace which sits above Mevagissey Harbour, giving great views. My partner and I stayed for a week and really enjoyed our stay although we had a couple of rainy days it did not dampen our stay. Karen the lady who runs the property was very nice and communication was very good leading up to and during our holiday. I would have no hesitation to recommend it and I would go back again back there again.

Ideally situated not too far from and right above the harbour in Mevagissey. There’s always something going on to interest you - boats coming and going etc. etc.. Lovely accommodation. The conservatory was our everything area apart from sleeping, so as not to miss anything happening in the harbour and village. Our host was ideal.

Blue Water, Mevagissey

Fabulous location overlooking the historic harbour. Owing to the spacious and comfortable front conservatory the harbour activities can be viewed in all weathers. Apart from driving to The Eden project we didnt really get our car out all week as there are great walks all around Meva. Meva has a great selection of pubs and restaurants whilst the property has good facilities if you want to eat in. Blue Waters is warm, spacious, nicely decorated and very comfortable. Loved it. The host was very responsive when contacted and kindly posted my sunglasses on as I'd left them behind. A great find. Highly recommended. Graham & Loretta, Hadleigh, Suffolk.

Great Location

Excellent location and a stunning view, Mevagissey is very hilly and this property had a wonderful view over the harbour. The host was very good with communication and even lent us their own bath towels when I did not bring any (my error as I assumed bath towels were included, but only hand towels available). The only negative point for us, which is personal preference, was that we found the double bed to be uncomfortable. It seemed very soft and foam like (although it was a thick mattress), but others might prefer this type of soft mattress. You can walk to Mevagissey beach (which is very quiet) from the property in about 10-15 minutes, be warned as there are lots of steps down to the beach and no facilities, but it was lovely and quiet even in the school summer holidays. Carlyon Bay (a 20 minute drive away) was a super find, with excellent facilities and eateries. All in all a good stay and I would recommend this property to other holiday visitors. The next door neighbours were very lovely and pleasant too which is always nice.

Lovely House with sensational views!

Just back from a weeks stay and we have already reserved for next year. Lovely comfortable house, it isn’t modern but entirely functional for a weeks family stay. The parking space is a big bonus too in Mevagissey. Just make sure you don’t go right down the hill when trying to find the property! The proximity to the harbour is amazing and the views are incredible, sitting in the sun watching the harbour every morning and evening was magical. Missing it already. Thank you Karen for making it all so easy to arrive and the information in the run up to the trip.

Excellent property with beautiful views out to sea and over Mevagissey. Perfect spot to sit and watch the workings of a ancient fishing village. House was lovely and clean and had all we wanted. Short walk down to the harbour with plenty of places to eat. Good communication with Karen. Looking forward to going back in a few weeks time.

Tolles Haus mit wunderschöner Aussicht

Wir haben uns in dem Ferienhaus sehr wohl gefühlt und würden es jederzeit wieder buchen. Die Verwalterin Frau Kendall ist sehr nett und die Buchung und die Schlüsselübergabe verliefen schnell und unkompliziert. In Mevagissey gibt es fußläufig alles, was man braucht. Der Ort selbst ist schon sehenswert.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Kendall

Host profile image
Hi my name is Karen Kendall, I have had the pleasure of living in this beautiful coastal town of Mevagissey for the past 35 years but have spent nearly all my life here in Cornwall. My mother in law owns the property and I have been involved in the running of this successful family business since they acquired the property approx 35 years ago. We continue to welcome returning guests year after year and our new guests have been delighted with their holiday choice.

Why they chose this property

Mevagissey has always been a beautiful place to live, work and holiday but it just seems to be improving year on year. The harbour is a year round working fishing port. The village is thriving with lots of activities and festivities for all to join in. There are numerous excellent places to eat and drink, small shops, coastal walks and beaches all just minutes away from this perfectly situated holiday cottage.

What makes this property unique

Situated on the 'sunny side' of Mevagissey Blue Waters is easily accessed and together with its own parking commands an excellent south-facing position just above the harbour. It affords panoramic views out towards Chapel Point, the Bay, and beyond. Just sit in the conservatory and watch the world go by in this relaxing and comfortable holiday home.
