Bayview Cottage - Breathtaking Harbour and Sea Views, with Complimentary Parking

Enjoy spectacular views from Bayview Cottage with unparalleled views of Mevagissey Harbour, St Austell Bay and the sea.

Bayview is located a stone’s throw from Mevagissey’s picturesque working harbour, where great pubs, restaurants and bars line the promenade.

A creatively terraced garden behind the house is a rare asset in this location. The garden is ideal for relaxing with a drink, having BBQ's, soaking up the sun and of course taking in the views!!

Bayview Cottage is the ideal retreat for a family holiday, a gathering with friends, or a peaceful escape to Cornwall. Children are warmly welcomed, and provisions such as a travel cot and high chair are available upon request.

Each room boasts spacious dimensions and thoughtful decor. Guests consistently rave about the breathtaking views from the living room, master bedroom, and loft bedroom.

The bathrooms are individually designed, generously sized, and feature modern, high-quality finishes.

The well-equipped kitchen includes a range with a 5-ring Ceran hob and ample open space. The open-plan layout of the kitchen and dining area encourages pre-dinner drinks and communal cooking experiences. For those preferring to dine out, Mevagissey offers a variety of excellent restaurants, many of which showcase local fish and Cornish produce.

Helpful Information:

Complimentary parking is provided for one car nearby. The road in front of the house is wide enough for two cars, allowing you to briefly drop off guests or load and unload without obstructing traffic.
During the summer months, our changeover day is Fridays. However, we are happy to accommodate alternative days for the remainder of the year.
For your convenience, a washing machine, dryer, ironing board, and iron are available at the property.
Towels and bed linen are provided, so there's no need to bring your own.

Delightful
Our second visit to Bayview Cottage and another wonderful fortnight at this delightful home. It’s every bit as magical as we remembered - a lovely location with great views, well appointed and well equipped, and a great base for a Cornish holiday.

Amazing views and well equipped spacious property.
We had a wonderful time in Bayview and can fully recommend it. We will be returning. The property has a fantastic location with a short downhill walk to the village. As with many Cornish locations, parking is a premium, however the property does have an allocated space up the hill. The owners were very helpful in advising on areas to park our second vehicle.. There is so much to do in the area for all ages. Overall an amazing holiday.

The perfect location
Bayview cottage is perfectly situated overlooking Mevagissey harbour with stunning views no matter the weather! The rooms are all large, comfy, bright & impeccably kept. The kitchen has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Again the bedrooms are all large and very comfortable with the main bedroom having the most amazing views to the harbour and out to sea as does the top bedroom. The bathrooms are all a very good size clean and very well presented. The walk into Mevagissey…About 120 seconds 👍 All in all it’s the perfect holiday cottage in the perfect location it’s a 10/10 from us.

Beautiful cottage in lovely little town - definitely will be going again.
Pictures don't do this cottage justice! It's beautiful! We stayed for 7 nights with 3 children, the boys loved having a bedroom of their own and the daughter claimed her own bathroom, so she was happy too. Lovely views which are better from the 1 st floor and the garden is great for eating in if the weather is good, although remember everything as it's 3 floors if you forget the cutlery. Kitchen is well equipped to cook or the pubs are a 2 minute walk to eat out, we particularly enjoyed the Harbour Tavern where the locals made the kids very welcome. Tea on the Quay was lovely for good coffee and a cream tea, the kids loved She Sells for ice creams while they were crabbing. Plenty of shops to pick up bits and pieces in Mevagissey including bakers and a lovely very well stocked greengrocers. Bigger supermarkets in St Austell were easy to get to. The children enjoyed playing on the beach when the tide was out, and crabbing (quite successfully) when the tide was in. We also travelled a fair bit and saw Lands End, St Michael's Mount and Padstowe, all were a fairly easy drive. Parking is provided in a car park in the town, a good 5 minute walk from the property. You can pull up outside on the road to unload and load suitcases from the car, but the locals are used to the narrow roads so are quite patient. We had an issue with the boiler while we stayed, a couple of phone calls to Liz who manages the property and the problem was resolved within an hour. The only minor negative was there wasn't a mirror in the master bedroom, so had to go up to the attic for a big mirror. We have been advised by the owner that there was one but it had broken just before our stay, and will be replaced as soon as possible.

Brilliant stay in lovely home
A spacious and clean house in an excellent location close to the centre of Mevagissy. Communication with the owner beforehand was great and everything was as described. The house is very well equipped with everything needed for catering, including a bbq (bring your own charcoal) . Beds were super comfy and the 2 bedrooms at the front of the house had stunning views for boat, seal and people watching. There are a number of lovely restaurants, cafes and bakeries in the town, plus ice cream shops of course. 2 beaches are within walking distance and many more short drives away. There are a couple of large supermarkets a short drive away. The allocated car parking space was a walk up the very steep hill but close enough. We hope to return!

Family Celebration
The location of the house was great with easy access to the centre of Mevagissey as well as wonderful views across the estuary. Likewise the house itself offered a great deal with all the rooms splendid in size and with several overlooking the bay. The garden offered plenty of space to enjoy outside meals in the sunshine. The whole house was beautifully presented both in terms of furniture and all facilities.

Simply delightful
The perfect location in a very special village. Our family of five adults enjoyed the quality of this property. Proximity to the harbour and main precinct, with sensational views, rated highly with us. All communication with the owner was answered in a timely manner. A value for money holiday destination.
