Delightful home with balcony overlooking the sea. Easy access, Free car park

A reverse plan property. Downstairs are 2 bedrooms, one double and one with twin single beds plus a bathroom recently refurbished containing toilet, spacious shower and hand basin. A staircase goes upstairs to an open plan room which has a carpetted sitting area with 2 sofas one of which is a double sofabed plus a leather swivel chair. The sitting area has a view of the sea including the lighthouse and sea wall. French doors open onto a balcony with a table and two chairs again with the sea view. The open plan room has a large wooden dining table with six chairs. The kitchen is well equiped with cooking equipment china and cutlery for six people. There is a built in electric oven and induction hob with an integrated chimney hood, a 8.1 cu.ft. fully integrated fridge freezer, a dishwasher, a microwave, toaster, kettle and a washer dryer. The kitchen and dining area have a wooden floor for ease of maintenance. A DAB/FM radio is available, a television with access to Freeview channels and internet access. There is a multi region DVD player available with a selection of quirky DVD's available in the drawer of the unit beside the swivel chair.

The property benefits from easy access, being on the same level as the harbour, very helpful for any guests who are less ambulant. There is a car space provided immediately outside the gate to the property.

Picturesque views of chapel point from the sitting room, the property is nestled in the beautiful working fishing village of Mevagissey. Mevagissey is full of pretty little shops, a bakery, provisions, meat, vegetables and delicatesen available from Mores. Excellent fish and chips all year and a special grilled fish bar in high season. Excellent eateries, we recomment Salamander and Tea on the Quay is great for breakfast and cream teas.

There is an ATM in the village post office located in the general store. Most shops are now taking contactless debit cards. You can get cash back from Mores fruit and vegetable shop in the village.

Welcome to a whole new pace of life.

Recent addition is a bed settee in the open plan upstairs. This now makes it easier if you have teenagers of both sexes who will not share a room. If you require a cot please ask as a travel cot can be provided with advance notice. A stair gate is available in the cupboard opposite the bathroom.

We are pleased to announce a refurbished bathroom is available from May 2018. This has been specifically designed with disabled people in mind. There is a small lip to get into shower but shower is big enough for a seat if required. Let us know if you want one and it can be supplied.

The property has benefitted from new carpets and flooring throughout over 2019-20. Enhacements for 2021 include new lights throughout with dimmer switches in the bedrooms. In 2022 we painted throughout inside and in 2023 the property has benefitted from external redecoration

Wonderful view and location
Fantastic location, although the drive up the harbour is not for the faint hearted! Nicely laid out and spacious accommodation, with the view being the standout feature. The general cleanliness was ok but we felt a few things in the accommodation were just a bit tired.

Wonderful stay
The property is located in a fantastic place at the end of East Quay with superb views of the harbour. The property was clean and welcoming. We arrived early and met Kate the owner - a lovely lady and very welcoming. She left us a bottle of wine, some chocolates and some brioche buns - what a lovely touch! Highly recommended and I am sure we will come back again. Thanks Kate.

Lovely upside down ( to maximise view) home from home. Even though really in the thick of things on the Quay during the day very quiet at night. As had 3 cars on our party so buying weekly passes for the Willows car park worked really well. Had a great rib ride and lots of lovely evening harbour walks.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The communication with Kate was excellent.The view from the balcony was very nice, as Fishermens House is located very central at the harbour of Mevagissey.To go there by car you should stay calm as you drive along eastquay and there are many people walking around on a sunny day.The living room & kitchen area is very comfortable.Sadly we had to clean the kitchen and the bathroom first when we arrived, as they were not properly cleaned.If you want a central cosy holiday home at the harbour you should book Fishermans House.

A lovely Break at the Fishermans House Mevagissey
This was a great week in Mevagissey with everything we might have wished for. A comfy cottage with a great view of the harbour, a short walk to the local shops, a selection of Pubs nearby and parking at the property. Everyone we met there made us feel welcome and with so much to do in the area, the week flew by. We particularly enjoyed walking to the Lost Gardens of Heligan with its beautiful grounds and attractions. Inside the Eden project we were warm and dry to counter the classic Cornish weather. We also enjoyed our visit to the Bodmin and Wenford steam railway, the Screech Owl sanctuary and a lovely day out at Tintagel to walk across the new bridge and see the bronze statue of King Arthur. All in all a lovely holiday, a week was not long enough, and hope we can come back again, so much to see and do in this area of Cornwall.

Disappointed
Really disappointed to have 3 days of works to install a new sewage pump right outside our property, I have a photo of the crane used for the work, they stated early and finished late each day, essential work but poor timing for our visit to a property that has nearly doubled in rental cost since our last visit only in September last year

Perfect location
This is a lovely place, right at the end of the Harbor with free parking (which you will appreciate, once you get there and see what your other options might have been). We had a bit of trouble getting in touch with the owners initially and with VRBO not sending us the "greetings email" prepared by the owners, but once that was sorted out, the rest was terrific. There are 2 bedrooms and a full bath downstairs and the main living upstairs (16 fairly step steps, just be aware). The kitchen had a full size refrigerator and plenty of cooking utensils and also spices, which was a lovely surprise. Small balcony had a delightful view of the harbor - everything was true to the picutues. My only suggestion would be to move the mirror in the downstairs hall, to a space above the heater in the hall, so "girls" can blow dry their hair. - I couldn't find any sockets that corresponded to mirrors for the master bedroom, so this was what I did to avoid, blowing, running to the bathroom to check, blowing, running, repeat! We would go back in a heartbeat !

Upstairs of property was good but needs a little overhall in kitchen cupboards where door hanging loosly. Info pack just manuals with no details of where andthat appliances needed to be turned o at mains etc as these details missing from manal info. Downstairs needs some tweeks. Needs coat hooks in hall and a clothes drier to be able dry wet clothes on, we had a wet week and had coats to dry. Also needs somewhere to sit with a mirror to dry hair and do make up etc. Need more coathangers especially if 4 guests were staying as the cupboard is the only hanging space and draws not wide enought to take clothes without folding them up.Car access is as expected however car can get blocked in due to vans parking in a space that specifically states no parking on bottom right side. Had difficulty getting out of space due to this space being used.

The upside down nature of the house, made the most of the view of the harbour. It had everything we needed to enjoy a week in the area. The bottle of Prosecco was well received after a nightmare journey (traffic, traffic and more traffic) The instructions on how to get to the apartment and the key was perfect....the drive along the harbour is not for everyone, but perfectly manageable Would definitely recommend this place to stay in

Schöne Wohnung, schöner Ort,zu viele Tagestouristen
Die Wohnung ist zweckmäßig eingerichtet, die Lage ist sehr schön und ruhig. Die Anfahrt zur Wohnung ist nur über einen schmalen Weg direkt an der Hafenmole zu erreichen, was sich jetzt in der Hauptsaison als teilweise schwierig bis hin zu kritisch dargestellt hat. Der Weg wird durch parkende Autos, Food Ständen, Hunden und Menschen teilweise blockiert, so dass man Ausflüge bis auf wenige eingeschränkt hat, um die An- und Ausfahrt zu vermeiden. Mevagissey ist ein sehr schöner, kleiner belebter Ort der eine Reise wert ist, aufgrund der vielen Tagestouristen doch eher etwas für die Nebensaison.

Fisherman’s House is a really great property situated at the end of the inner harbour, well equipped, comfy beds, lovely lounge dining and kitchen area upstairs with a little balcony to take in the outer harbour views and out to open sea and the lighthouse. We couldn’t have asked for a better base for our Cornwall adventures and have had a lovely 10 days full of sunshine. Thank you Kate and Rick! We will definitely return xx

Lovely property in a perfect location
The property is spacious and nicely decorated. The location is amazing, towards the end of the east quay, with a fantastic view of the lighthouse and harbour opening, and the sea. Lots of boats coming in and out, people fishing off the west quay, etc. A very peaceful location. Lots of nice restaurants (booking advised) and shops. Ideal spot for trips to places like The Lost Gardens of Heligan or St Just in Roseland. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Mevagissey.

My best holiday find
The property was in a fantastic location. The drive along the harbour was a bit hairy the first time but fun. Really well situated and having parking right by a wonderful bonus. loved the views from the balcony and kitchen window. The house was clean and well equipped. Lots of personal touches made it feel like home loved the candles and bottle of prosecco. Megavissey is a lovely unspoilt harbour and a great base for exploring. Loved the fish grill the trio of fish was delicious. Went on a harbour tour and saw dolphins. Really wished we had stayed for 2 weeks as we felt we could have done so much more exploring. Will be booking again
