The property is well placed and a short 5 minute walk down the hill to the harbour. The hill is not at all bad back up unless you are very unfit or have limited mobility. The garden is a lovely private area of patio, lawn and flowers/shrubs. There were just two of us staying, with our two dogs and had adequate space however, personally I think 4 people sharing would be somewhat cramped. The kitchen is small but workable area, I donât know if it was just me, but every time I used the toaster it set the smoke detector off!! I do like to sit at a table to eat, and whilst there is a folding table indoors, it would take over the lounge space if it were to be fully opened. The bed was very comfortable and huge. Only used the upstairs bedroom for sleeping, but used the downstairs shower as much more powerful than the upstairs en-suite. There is adequate parking on the driveway to the cottage, shared with the hosts, Robin and Rosie , and although next door to them, only saw them twice, once to ask whether we would like the cleaning lady to come in and change bedding for week 2, and once when we were returning home from a day coastal walking and they were tending to the flowers, both are lovely people. The welcome pack left for us was gratefully received. Would recommend certainly to couples, and would return to Nectan if basing at Mevagissey any time

Comfortable and everything we needed. The owners Robin and Rosie live next door. They were friendly and gave us some good tips about things to do. I walked into Mevagissey every morning to get newspapers. Just had to buy a coffee and cinnamon bun which I enjoyed sitting on the harbour. The walk back up the hill is a challenge. Loved Megavissey and our stay at Nectan.
