About this property

Beautiful views, comfortable house, dog friendly.

Enjoy a coffee on the balcony and enjoy these spectacular views. It's a short walk downhill to Mevagissey village where there is a good range of pubs, eateries and shops. A walk or short drive to Heligan Gardens and at St Austell, the Eden Project. Water sports are available in Pentewan the next village. We love the glorious beaches at Caerhays and Gorran Haven or Carne Beach to name but a few. Winnie's View is spacious, light and airy and multi level in style. On the ground floor the open plan dining area and well equipped kitchen, utility/shower room and loo are found. Stairs lead down to the lounge and up to the master bedroom, a few more stairs from there lead up to the main bathroom, bedrooms 2 and 3. A pretty enclosed south facing garden and patio. The house has comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen and plenty of storage for all your kit, There is an open fire for cosy evenings in the cooler seasons. Oil fired central heating. Free wifi, the TV has chromecast to allow you to stream your favourite movies from your smart phone. Linen and towels are included. Visitors are welcome to bring a dog, please ask if you have more than one. Please note that flat parking is available for 2 standard cars and steps lead down to the front door. As of February we have completed the replacement of all our mattresses, so, with light blocking curtains you'll be sure of comfortable nights.

Excellent location with adequate facilities

Everything you need for a family break and in an ideal location. Very good value for money as although there are more salubrious places, you pay for that, in our opinion, unnecessary pleasure.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 July 2020
We do aim to provide good value yet we offer very comfortable, good quality accommodation with hotel quality linen and towels and the views are amazing. The implication of your review is that the house is unsalubrious, our photos show a really pleasant environment with good facilities so I think your choice of words is inaccurate.

This is a great place for a family holiday stay. It felt surprisingly spacious, with lots of areas to spread out in to. The views were stunning. We were lucky enough to see dolphins one morning in tbe bay from the bedroom window. The kitchen was well equipped.

A last minute holiday by the sea. The property was in the most perfect location. The photos don’t do it justice! With the coastal path just a couple of minutes away it was easy to walk down to the harbour or to the nearest beach - Polstreath - in a matter of minutes. We still need steps and toilet inserts for our youngest so took them but found out we didn’t need them. The house is well equipped and the views are amazing!

What a hidden gem!

Our experience was top notch, from the beautiful property with its wonderful views of the sea on every floor, the balcony and the enclosed garden, to the location, just one minute from the Coastal Path and five minutes down into the working port of Mevagissey. The only thing we would suggest is that the photos of the property showed it off to its best advantage, with the amazing indoor windows that extend the views. That way more people could enjoy this amazing place!

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Nov 2023
Thank you for your review. I am pleased that you had a good stay at a time of year when the weather can be less inviting. I have to agree with your statement that our house is not so good for those with mobility issues, we are on a hilly site with steps down to the front door and down to the garden, although you can access outside space from the dining/kitchen area directly to the decking. The house is on 3 levels with smaller flights of stairs to access these, so being able to negotiate stairs is essential and I hope our details do reflect this accurately. best wishes Elsa

Wonderful property walking distance from Mevagissey harbour and all the lovely restaurants and pubs.

We loved it so much we will be booking again for next year. Such great views and only a 5 minute stroll to the harbour and restaurants and pubs. Great base to explore the area with so many beauty spots within a short drive. We found two wonderful beaches a short distance away where our dog could play off the lead in the middle of summer. Highly recommend.

Beautiful views and comfortable and peaceful cottage

Winnie's View is a comfortable, attractive, well-equipped flat with beautiful views over Mevagissey and the water. We enjoyed the variety of spaces on different levels in which to relax. The flat provides everything you need in terms of appliances, kitchen items, comfortable beds, seating, parking, instructions, etc. The coastal path is seconds away and provides a convenient way to walk into town. Good communication with owners. We would happily return and very highly recommend Winnie's View.

Lovely cottage

Winnie's View is a lovely cottage with stunning sea views. It is arranged over different levels and everything you could need is provided. We had a brilliant holiday, despite the weather not being too good, and enjoyed the walks into Mevagissey, which is so sheltered that the weather was noticeably warmer, once we got to the harbour. The walk back is steep, but there are plenty of benches and viewpoints along the way. Our little dog enjoyed the nearby field and walks too.

First visit to Cornwall, mainly to support our Daughter running the Eden Project Half Marathon Property was as described, everything that you could possibly need to make it a home from was there Easy walk down to town. We enjoyed the SW coastal path, until driven back by wind and rain, but must be lovely in the summer. All in all a great house with excellent views and we would highly recommend it

Great location and excellent property.

We rally enjoyed our stay at this property. Communication with the owners was always very clear and the property has everything you could need for an easy and relaxing stay. The view from the house is much better than any photograph can show. We even saw a sturgeon moon rising from the horizon in the east and wonderful sunsets over Mevagissey. The whole place was very clean upon arrival and we used all of the equipment with no problem. Wifi signal was very good and the area was very quiet during night and day. I can't imagine staying anywhere else when we visit Mevagissey again.

Had a wonderful stay at Winnie’s view. Great location for accessing the harbour area and wonderful views. Good comfy facilities in the house, and the extra fridge in the garage was needed ! nice wee garden for dogs As noted on the listing the house and the location is not suitable for everyone due to the steepness but we loved the climb up and down to the harbour. Parking is limited but fine for one car. We will definitely use this place again, thanks

Winnies View

The property was not the most attractive from the outside, however that didn't really bother us but the inside was most comfortable and to our liking. One observation that we both felt was that the house would have benefited from some heating during an unseasonal cold couple of days later on in the week. The view was wonderful and the decking was a particularly attractive feature. All told, we enjoyed ourselves even with complications added by the Covid 19 restrictions!

Thanks for your review. I agree that it is the inside of the house, and in particular, the views that are the treasure of this house. I sm concerned that yiu were cold in the evenings. We do have an excellent central heating system and an open fire. In cooler evenings the heating can be boosted via the thermostat in the dining area. How I wish you had contacted us! Always here to help. Regards Elsa

About the host

Hosted by Elsa Mckenzie

Host profile image
This house belonged to Winnie, my mother in law, she had wonderful holidays here, visiting relatives, swimming from local beaches and she always welcomed family and friends. We have been holidaying in Mevagissey for a long time. Alastair is a civil engineer who visited family in the area as a child, Elsa teaches part time. Our 4 grown up children continue to visit the house with their children and partners. Since the early days we have continued to update and improve Winnie's View into a lovely comfortable home from home for our visitors. Our recent projects include the addition of a balcony and installation of a shower on the ground floor as part of a refurbishment of the utility room.

Why they chose this property

Our children at all ages have always been very fond of Mevagissey and have many happy memories of their holidays there. Now they are nearly all grown up and some have children of their own and they still love to visit with us or with their friends.
The south Cornish coast is just stunning, we are now endeavouring to walk the coast path (in chunks). The beaches are beautiful surrounded by amazing landscapes. Winnie's View can be used as a base for exploration, visits to many attractions, or as a comfortable place to return to after a long day at the beach. The house is comfortable, well equipped and practical with space for people, their kit and parking for 2 cars. It's a short walk down to the village for pubs, shops and a walk round the harbour. Fishing is still taking place in Mevagissey as you will see by the number of fishing boats in the harbour. Local fish is very fresh and can be bought from the kiosk on the inner harbour. The views from the house never cease to amaze, winter or summer.

What makes this property unique

The amazing view and the changing light on the sea is a tonic for our stress levels!
