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.

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

Right on the docks and a 2 minute walk to restaurants and shops.

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

Spent a fantastic week in a lovely house with great views iver the harbour and sea.
A lovely upside down house with all the facilities you need.
Highly recommended!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Tucked away from the quaint narrow busy streets of Mevagissey this house was the perfect hideaway. A really inviting and peaceful home that was altogether very Comfortable and had a wonderful feel of seaside warmth and charm. Sitting on the balcony was the perfect place to watch the world go by with its beautiful sea & harbour views. This place is the perfect hidden gem of mevagissey
We didn’t want to leave and would love to return again & again

2nd time at this little gem
Love this place, in a great spot in beautiful Meva, with everything you need. Took the paddle board this year, you can be on the water in minutes - there are steps to a launching area (becomes a small beach at low tide) right behind the property, also used by the new kayak school/kayak rental.

The photos do not do this property justice. The rooms are much more spacious than they appear on the Internet site.
We were lucky to have a handover from the owner, Kate, who was very friendly and helpful.
The property is more like a home than a rental. Kate left us a bottle of chilled Prosecco, which after a 6.5 hour journey was most welcome.
We have stayed in many rentals over the years but this one had lots of thoughtful details including foil, cling film, salt and pepper, numerous toilet rolls and much more which saved us from having to take the time out to source these items locally. The kitchen is well-equipped and we prepared a couple of evening meals without any problems.
Mevagissey is a beautiful spot with very friendly people and the views of the harbour from the property change daily, if not hourly, and looking out to the piers and the channel never grew boring.
Fisherman’s House was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The view from the balcony was so lovely and watching the lighthouse at night was calming, if not mesmerising.
The drive along the quay to reach the property was a tad challenging, especially when the tide was in and families were ‘crabbing.’ However, this would not put us off booking this place again; in fact we have returned home today and we’re already looking at dates for next year.
Thank you Kate and Rick for a great rental which has left us with lots of great memories.

We stayed for 5 nights in total. Had a few issues which were of no fault of the owner and she was great, even offered to pay for alternative parking for the duration, although the issue was resolved and this was not required. Lovely spacious accommodation. Bright, airy and had everything we needed. Will be back.

Lovely little cottage right on the seafront with a beautiful view on the balcony. We really enjoyed our stay, it offered us a wonderful place to unwind and relax very quickly. There were a couple of little hiccups but we managed to find our way around them. It was a wonderful trip and we would definitely book this cottage again.
We visited Fowey on the ferry which is well recommended, Falmouth, The lost gardens of Heligan, Charlestown Harbour, Padstow, Polperro and St Mawes. We had such a great time every day.
Thank you to Kate for excellent and humerous communications and thank you so very much for the welcome bottle of processo which was very much appreciated 😘

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.

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

Little Meva, probably the best location in Mevagissey
Great little place just off the harbour in Mevagissey. Everything easily in walking distance. The house itself was spotlessly clean and the covid-19 procedures in place was reassuring as it shows the owner cares about her guests.

Lovely property
We really enjoyed our stay in Mevagissy. The little harbour town is so pretty and welcoming with lots of good food options. The property is really lovely, the photos don't do it justice! Everything is very nicely decorated and well maintained, and even with covid restrictions we had everything we needed. The beds were comfy and we had lovely peaceful sleep. Thank you very much to Kate for making our stay wonderful! We would definitely come back!

Nice fisherman’s cottage overlooking the harbour. Great views from the lounge and balcony. Cottage has everything you need and the village pubs, restaurants and shops are minutes from the front door. Also good location to explore further afield.

A great little detached property, very quiet, but still on the edge of harbour and lovely views out to sea and the lighthouse. Very comfortable double bed.Parking space definitely a bonus.Would definitely stay again.
