Solo trip

I've stayed at Prospect Cottage many times and it is always a joy to visi, it truly feels like a home away from home. I was meant to be staying with friends but got let down, I am so glad I decided to still make the trip. I definitely recharged, spending time at the harbour and on the coastal path. A total recharge of a weekend. Thank you Tamsin and family for sharing your beautiful home

Beautiful cottage overlooking idilic harbour

Family of 5 adults normally presents a challenge to accommodate comfortably for a holiday, but not in this case. Prospect Cottage is a lovely family home packed with all the amenities that a family needs. Only a few minutes walk away from the magical Mevagissey harbour and an array of bars, cafes and chip shops! We had a magnificent stay and would recommend to anyone.

Lovely place in a great spot.

A beautiful and interesting cottage situated in the centre of the village, it’s no more than a couple of minutes walk anywhere. Everything you need is provided, it’s light and airy, clean and well maintained and with great views. This was our second visit and we’ve already booked for next year so, I guess, that says a lot! There’s nothing not to like.

Wonderful house in a fantastic location

This beautiful house was perfect for us and it felt like home from the moment we walked in. The rooms are comfortable, there is everything you could possibly need and the views from all the rooms are incredible. We were fortunate to have lovely weather for our stay and enjoyed Mevagissy, its busy harbour and all the bustles of this pretty fishing village. Tamsin is a wonderful host and communication was excellent throughout. I would wholeheartedly recommend this as the most lovely place to stay. We are certainly hoping to return.
