Heather and Chris made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived, and the thoughtful welcome pack was very much appreciated. The boys were absolutely delighted with the Cornwall seagulls that they kindly left for them. The apartment was spacious, very clean and had a beautiful view of the wonderful Mevagissey harbour. We were very grateful for their kindness and hospitality throughout our stay. We would highly recommend this property to others.

Excellent views from apartment, owner lives below so on hand as needed and very friendly. Parking on steep driveway was challenging! Some cooking utensils could do with updating/replacing and some additional items would be useful e.g. tongs, wooden utensils, potato peeler and a small sieve! Great welcome package on arrival.
