Converted quayside pilchard press w. free parking

Start the day with a cup of Nespresso coffee in the marbled bathroom, a well-equipped full wet room with double-head shower. Set in a Grade II listed building, this accessible ground-floor cottage also offers Amazon Echo and antique wood floors. Provided free to guests is a single parking permit for Mevagissey Harbour car park, located a level walk of less than 2 minutes from your apartment. With its location adjacent to the harbour and in the centre of the village, Grade 2 listed Quayside has had a fascinating and diverse past. Over the course of its more than two centuries nestled between the centre of the village and the harbour it has served as a pilchard press, net loft, doctor's surgery and even as the premises of the local undertaker! Following extensive recent renovation it has been transformed into chic, comfortable and spacious apartments that showcase the character of the building. The superking bed, which can be converted into twin beds upon request, is topped off with high quality linen guaranteeing a luxurious night's sleep.

We generally stay in the same building and, when there, are available to assist you or try to answer any questions you may have during your stay. This apartment is located in Quayside, one of Mevagissey's most prominent and historic heritage buildings, with direct and level harbour access. With its pubs and shops set in cobbled streets, this is an archetypally charming Cornish fishing village. Getting around is particularly easy out-of-season when smaller crowds and quieter roads make trips a breeze, and journeys to places as pretty as Penzance, Padstow, Perranporth and Polperro are perfectly possible in just a day! Popular destinations like Fowey (30 minutes), Newquay (45 minutes), Falmouth (50 minutes) and Truro (35 minutes) are always worth a visit. The seasonal Mevagissey - Fowey ferry (www.Mevagissey-ferries.co.uk) provides a fun and practical alternative to the busy holiday traffic and parking. St Austell (15 minutes) has a wide selection of supermarkets (Asda, Tesco, Aldi, Lidl) as well as the nearest mainline train station. With plenty to see and do, and a great base for exploring further afield, Mevagissey is far more than just a summer destination. Hope to see you soon. A single parking permit for Mevagissey Harbour, located just a short level walk from the apartment, can be provided free of charge upon request. Unloading is directly outside on Middle Wharf, Fore Street or on the harbour in front of the Wheel House pub. Extra storage area on ground floor available for bikes and prams. Board-games and playing-cards are available for the use of our guests.

All about Mevagissey

Fishing boats in the thriving working harbour are still as much a focal point in Mevagissey as they were centuries ago — although there’s more to local life these days than pilchards. Twisty narrow streets wind back from the quayside, gathering ice-cream shops, galleries, gift stores, fish and chip parlours, and a couple of attractions, backed by hills. Mevagissey is a great spot for exploring the sheltered coves and fishing villages of the St Austell Bay area of Cornwall’s south coast — quite different in atmosphere to the wilder, surfer-frequented north and west sides. It’s also within striking distance of some of Cornwall’s best highlights.

From Mevagissey you can walk to the astonishing Lost Gardens of Heligan, a magical, jungle-like fantasyland that’s on the wish list of most visitors to Cornwall. The world-famous domed biospheres of the Eden Project are only a 25-minute drive away, and your neighbours include charming St Austell, five miles along the coast, and Charlestown, with its Shipwreck Treasure Museum.

What are the top things to do in Mevagissey?

Beaches

There are so many beaches in the Mevagissey area that it’s fun to get out there and pick your favourite! Pentewan Beach is flat and easy to reach with lots of facilities, making it popular with families. Portmellon Beach is smaller, trickier to reach, and cupped by rocks. Gorran Haven Beach is considered one of the best, distinguished by its cute little harbour and independent shops. Whichever you choose, it’s best to visit during low tide in order to maximise towel space on the sand, especially during the peak of summer.

Pentewan Valley Trail

Head into the woods, where cycle trails follow a former railway line amid luscious greenery, streams, and wetlands. The Pentewan Valley Trail connects to St Austell and Pentewan, which can hook you up with bike hire.

Mevagissey Museum

This excellent free museum was once part of a boat-builder’s yard. It details the town’s history through three floors of exhibits. Check out photographs of village life from the 19th and 20th centuries, fishing memorabilia, and old machinery.
