About this cottage rental
Mevagissey is one of the few remaining active Cornish fishing harbours. In the small town you can enjoy local shops, boutiques, and art galleries. There are cafes, pubs and restaurants, as well as places to stop for a cream tea, fish and chips or an ice-cream. There is also a handmade fudge shop.
A visit to the museum and aquarium on the harbour is recommended as is a trip on board the Seascan. Freshly caught fish are often available to buy from the quayside. There are many walks that can be enjoyed from the cottage, but most popular are those along the coastal path leading from the harbour.
Mevagissey is fortunate to have a cycle path that meanders to St. Austell and beyond. There is a ferry to take you to Fowey and a great variety of activities to suit all interests. Fishing trips and scenic boat trips are available from the harbour. If you enjoy watersports or a day out at the seaside, sandy beaches are close by. For garden enthusiasts many popular attractions are within easy reach, including;The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Caerhays Castle and The Eden Project. There are several National Trust properties. Walking and nature enthusiasts are spoilt for choice with the South West Coast path running practically past the door and many other short walks to explore that reveal an abundance of plant life and wildlife. Trips out to sea are readily available where visitors frequently encounter playful dolphins who love to swim close to the boughs of boats as they traverse the bay.
If you are interested in popular culture you will enjoy a visit to the nearby 18th century harbour village of Charlestown. One of Britain's most popular film locations, it was used in The Eagle Has Landed, The Pirates of The Caribbean, The Onedine Line - to name just a few and most recently the new Poldark series. Mevagissey’s very own tour boat Seascan, moored in Mevagissey harbour also features in the popular German television adaptation of Rosamund Pilcher’s novels’. Please visit Chorister’s Cottage own website for more details to this and links to local businesses.

Garden needed some attention before any persons used it, family got bit several times. Didn't use it again. Out side toilet area needed a clean with neighbours weeds growing through the fence.
Needs a light on the landing due to poor or no light at all when going to the toilet at night. My wife fell over the concrete upstand adjacent to the parking area. She was very shaken
Location quiet, but you would expect that being next to a graveyard.
Smell of soot in main living room
No wardrobe space in second bedroom, only in main bedroom & children's room

A well equipped cottage, centrally located and lovely. (Just needs some airers and places for wet towels - picky but honest).
We loved every minute and Jacqui was so helpful. We would definitely go back.

Our second stay at Choristers, the cottage just as lovely as we remembered. Superbly equipped with every implement you can think of. Very comfy and cosy with a lovely garden where we had a couple of meals from the (excellent) Chinese and Indian takeaways in the village only a 5 min walk away.

Beautiful cottage in great location
What a lovely cottage, great location only 5 mins walk from the harbour. Lovely garden to sit out and have a meal or drink.
Very well equipped with everything you could ever need even down to a roll of sellotape which came in handy.
Such a cosy place to stay with very comfy beds.
The outside loo a great bonus when having a meal/drinks in the garden.
The best property we have stayed in so far in Cornwall, so glad we have already booked for September!

Clean and comfortable cottage in ideal location!
We had a wonderful stay in Choristers Cottage. It’s ideally located in a quiet spot only short stroll in to Mevagissey.
The beds were extremely comfortable with nice heavy duvets and crisp cotton bedding.
The wood burner was a lovely addition at this time of year. We lit it when we returned rather damp from the beach on a couple of occasions.
So much to see and do in this gorgeous part of Cornwall. A week really wasn’t long enough.

September Sun
We looked forward to a long awaited get away after working all through the Covid lockdown and Choristers Cottage did not disappoint. There was everything we could need, it was so well equipped. The cottage felt like an oasis of calm and it was the perfect getaway to relax and unwind. Our daily walk down to the harbour was delightful, the village had such a great vibe and we were lucky with near perfect weather. Without a doubt we will be back!

Lovely Cottage
I spent a great week at this cottage in July with my wife and three kids. The cottage is very nicely decorated and it feels very homely. It is in a quiet and peaceful area which make a useful base for exploring this part of Cornwall. It is a short walk down the hill to the village and a beach is accessible with 10 minutes walk (although the terrain is not flat) and there are several others a short drive away. The kitchen is well equipped and the garden is a lovely place to have a meal or read a newspaper. Highly recommended.
