Holiday Cottage in Cornish Fishing Village
Quiet Location in Centre of Village, 2 mins walk to Harbour
Sleeps 4 (2 Bedrooms)
|
|
Situated on Cornwall's south coast, Mevagissey is one of Cornwall's most beautiful fishing villages. The fascination with Mevagissey can only be understood with a visit here. Its narrow streets (where you'll find the cottage) allow the unique character of this quiet fishing village to live on. The fishermen are still here, hauling in their catch at the end of the day. You too can go fishing on one of the deep-sea angling trips that are available from the quay or short mackerel fishing trips in the bay. Mevagissey is a great base for a walking holiday with the Cornish coastal path passing right through the village. Close to the village are several other smaller villages incl. Gorran Haven and Pentewan. Mevagissey is right on the doorstep of the renowned Heligan Gardens and Eden Project. For the keen golfer you can reach many excellent courses and close by are Par and St Austell. The cottage has been in our family for over 50 years.
