Beautiful cottage seconds from the famous picturesque harbour at Mevagissey
Harbour Retreat is a beautifully presented Grade 2 listed cottage, with all the home comforts to make your stay an absolute pleasure and just a few feet away from the picturesque working harbour. Situated right in the heart of Mevagissey, yet a peaceful haven at the end of a busy day spent exploring all the surrounding area has to offer. Should you choose to eat in, the fully fitted kitchen has everything you need to rustle up a family meal, with plenty of dining space. Relax afterwards in the lounge area with plenty to occupy the family. Smart TV, DVD, board games, or maybe a stroll around the harbour and watch the fishermen return home with their wares or try to land your own catch off the outer harbour whilst watching the sun go down. The stunning village of Mevagissey will transport you back in time and immerse you in the wonder of true Cornish tradition. It is the 2nd largest working fishing harbour in Cornwall with around 30 boats licenced to trade out of the harbour. Take to the sea yourself and join fellow guests on a large choice of fishing trips; Visit the aquarium and museum and learn about the local history of land and sea or for thrill seekers, enjoy a speedboat trip around the bays. Amid the cobble streets you will discover boutique shops, restaurants and bars and with plenty of seating around the harbour, a must is fish and chips whilst watching the world go by. You may be planning to experience one of the many annual festivals that Mevagissey proudly hosts, such as Feast Week, Sea Shanty or Toshers Race but whenever you come, our village will fill your heart with joy and make returning time and time again a must. Mevagissey has great public transport links and is ideally situated for exploring all that Cornwall has to offer. The Eden Project is 21 mins by car (9 miles) and further along the coast is the beautiful town of Fowey 30 mins by car (13 miles). Alternatively why not take the Ferry to Fowey from Mevagissey harbour! and hopefully spot the odd dolphin or two! Local sandy beaches and coves are abundant, the nearest being Portmellon, a few minutes drive away. Pentewan Sands is a similar distance with great watersport facilities/restaurant/bar. Discover the North Coast and the magnificent Fistral Beach at Newquay is just a 45 minute drive (22 miles). We live locally and can impart some little gems for you to explore.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Fantastic getaway 😀
The cottage was lovely, it was pristine and beautifully decorated. The host had provided extra little touches such as bath salts to make the stay feel extra special. The village is picturesque even if the roads are a little narrow. Would definitely come again , thank you Jackie 😊
