About this property

Finest Retreats | Old Harbour Cottage

Tucked away in amongst the historic streets of Mevagissey town is Old Harbour Cottage, a gloriously stylish retreat with wonderful character and a cosy welcoming feel. With an unbeatable location just a few minutes walk from the harbourfront and beautiful decor to enjoy around you, this is the ultimate choice for a luxury seaside escape.

Excellent location, lovely cottage

The location of the property was fantastic. Only a 2 minute walk into the harbour. Property was mostly very clean throughout and had modern fixtures and fittings with a rustic decor bringing out the old fisherman's cottage style The bedding on the double bed had a hole in, Only half a roll of toilet paper in the bathroom and no where open to buy any when we realised. Some out of date eggs and milk in fridge, advised to put rubbish in black bin bags but non provided and not advised to bring our own was unclear where we should have put the rubbish when leaving (states bins oppersite property but was non) Cleaner was still in the property when we arrived after the 4pm check in time. The beds had not been made as requested in the top room into a super king. Just a few details that had been over looked and for the price it shouldnt have been.

Mevagissey Break

It was easy to walk into Mevagissey Harbour with all of its shops and amenities, as well as lovely walks. I was worried about parking but it was easy, maybe due to the time of year. The cottage was clean and nicely decorated. We had a relaxing stay. The showers weren&#39t great - heating was hard to control. Neighbours very noisy at night. No hand towels, no oven glove, and only one tea towel.

Perfect holiday home

Perfect location, nice house that contained everything we needed for a lovely few days in Mevagissey. The beds and bedding were very good and two bathrooms were extra luxurious.

Good.

We arrived to a dirty house as the cleaner hadn’t turned up . The Air b&b and finest retreats worked together to get this remedied for next morning and clean linen arrived at 9pm . The property was quite awkward as two flights of stairs and living room on second floor . We weren’t aware of the extent of the steepness of the stairs . My husband found it difficult .

Location The rubbish situation was not acceptable, when we arrived the cupboard outside was full with rubbish from the previous guests, so we had to dispose of our rubbish at my parents.

Other than the stairs this is a wonderful place to stay ...thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

Everything is so convenient near to shops near to harbour a truly lovely place ..... I felt that the stairs are not the best if you have a disability also a grab rail would help with getting up and down the steps to the shower room....
