Solo trip

I've stayed at Prospect Cottage many times and it is always a joy to visi, it truly feels like a home away from home. I was meant to be staying with friends but got let down, I am so glad I decided to still make the trip. I definitely recharged, spending time at the harbour and on the coastal path. A total recharge of a weekend. Thank you Tamsin and family for sharing your beautiful home

Glorious Cottage, Stunning Views

This is the most delightful cottage to stay in, to make your stay in Mevagissey even more memorable and satisfying. Situated a very short walk from the harbour front, this property has been thoughtfully restored with many of its original features still prominent. The modern decor and furnishings, immediately make it homely. The host has provided all the facilites, appliances and kitchen equipment you would ever need during your stay. Tamsin's communication and directions before our arrival were first class. She also provided many recommendations of local restaurants, shops and places to visit in the locality. If you are planning a visit to Mevagissey, I strongly recommend your stay at this idyllic stone built cottage.

Wonderful house in a fantastic location

This beautiful house was perfect for us and it felt like home from the moment we walked in. The rooms are comfortable, there is everything you could possibly need and the views from all the rooms are incredible. We were fortunate to have lovely weather for our stay and enjoyed Mevagissy, its busy harbour and all the bustles of this pretty fishing village. Tamsin is a wonderful host and communication was excellent throughout. I would wholeheartedly recommend this as the most lovely place to stay. We are certainly hoping to return.

Lovely place in a great spot.

A beautiful and interesting cottage situated in the centre of the village, it’s no more than a couple of minutes walk anywhere. Everything you need is provided, it’s light and airy, clean and well maintained and with great views. This was our second visit and we’ve already booked for next year so, I guess, that says a lot! There’s nothing not to like.

Beautiful cottage overlooking idilic harbour

Family of 5 adults normally presents a challenge to accommodate comfortably for a holiday, but not in this case. Prospect Cottage is a lovely family home packed with all the amenities that a family needs. Only a few minutes walk away from the magical Mevagissey harbour and an array of bars, cafes and chip shops! We had a magnificent stay and would recommend to anyone.

Great location, stroll straight down to the harbour Property perfectly set up with a bedroom/shower downstairs and 2 beds with a bath upstairs and lounge/kitchen inbetween Can park outside to unload. Would avoid the car space and just use the car park. £48 for the week and a couple of mins walk from the property, super easy Highly recommend this property, we loved our stay.

Great stay in Cornwall

We stayed a week at this lovely cottage in Mevagissey. The house is very comfortable and we loved the furniture and decor. We were 2 couples, but it would also be great for family vacations. The kitchen was well-equipped; we usually did breakfast and dinner at the house. It’s a short walk into central Mevagissey, although be aware that it is on a hill. We didn’t have a car, but there are 2 bus stops near the house and we were able to get everywhere we wanted to go using public transportation. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Prospect Cottage- highly recommend.

Wonderful walking

This property is in an excellent position in Mevagissey with wonderful views over the rooftops to the harbour & sea beyond from all the rooms. Very comfortable with everything you need. Finding the property & unloading right outside was so easy but the parking space provided was an absolute concern daily.....trying to avoid damage to tyres on the raised base of the barrier posts in a very tight area was not easy & we only had a small car. Provision of a parking permit in the main carpark would really be a godsend for guests. THE HOUSE IS SUPERB SO JUST MAKE OTHER PARKING PLANS!

One of our very best stays!!

My wife and I are very experienced self catering renters and have a good basis for comparisons and we can, and have to one another, state that this is one of our top three stays, in terms of quality of the property, location, service, cleanliness and all other aspects of using a vacation rental. Our only regret is that with our present 16 day visit to the U.K. (yes, we are Americans) that we didn't spend more of it in this property in Mevagissey. My wife would have been very happy to have spent the entire visit there, but it is a bit of drive from there to Heathrow for a noon departure back to the U.S. We will certainly be booking again. On another note, every single townspeople we met did not treat as merely a tourist and a possible source of revenue, but opened right up and spoke of their lives in Cornwall, good and bad and treated us as if we were known acquaintances. Five stars to Tamsin and her family and thanks for sending the caretaker over to help us sort out the operation of the heater (I was trying to overthink it!). My sole cautionary note is that for elderly folks who want to get out and walk, virtually any walking not directly on the harbor is a bit of up and down hills - on the other hand, in most cases, it's good for us! See you again!
