Really enjoyed our stay at Seatons Rest. The apartment was comfortable and equipped really well, though it would have benefited from a washing machine. There was plenty of parking with great access to Portmellon itself. Only a 15 minute walk to Mevagissy, but it is a steep climb both ways. The Rising Sun Inn is basically next door to the apartment and provides a friendly welcome with a nice menu. The Shack is a cafe with lovely coffee and fabulous ladies running it. I would definitely recommend to stay at Seatons Rest.

Another great week at Seatons Rest, our second stay. The accommodation and location are excellent and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a relaxing holiday.

We loved our long weekend at Seatons Rest, Portmellon, the accommodation was excellent, location was excellent but there is no shop, just a very small pub and The Shack that sells food. So if you forget anything you will need to go to Mevagissey, which is not a problem. We found loads of places to eat and shop at Mevagissey. Overall, we had a lovely time.
