Great stay

Great stay, lovely place. Well equiped and maintained. Keeps warm and cozy with ample space and great kitchen. Right downtown so close to shops, harbour, pubs, restraunts, etc. Nice living room set round electric fire gives a great gathering and socializing area. Bathrooms are well equiped and shower is all modernized and lovely. The whole place was recently updated i think so all furnishing, bathrooms, kitchen, etc are all fairly new and very nice. Whole place is well maintained, clean, modern, and updated. Made for a very enjoyable stay. Would definatelly visit again.

Bright and Airy Immaculate Cottage

This property is so lovely, immaculately clean, comfortable, stylish and ideally located. Plenty of space, it has been very well thought out and designed. Beds are super comfy with luxury linen. We parked up outside to unload and load, directions were clear. Really isn't anything I can say bad about the place. It was lovely and i would definitely stay there again. Thankyou

Charming Coastal Getaway

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Piran's Cottage. The property was spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable, making it feel like a true home away from home. The beds were cozy, and the living space was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The kitchen was well-equipped, and we appreciated the little touches like fresh towels and local information. Its location, just a short stroll from the harbor and village center, made it easy to enjoy Mevagissey's charm without needing a car. Piran's Cottage was the perfect retreat, and we would happily return!

Schöner Orr Mevagissey

Das Haus lag sehr zentral mitten in dem sehr schönen Ort Mevagissey. Leider gab es nicht wirklich eine schöne Außen- Sitzecke (neben zwei Mülltonnen). Innen gab es alles was man braucht. Lediglich das WLAN war sehr langsam. Betten sehr bequem. Wohnung super sauber und gepflegt. Da es mitten im Ort liegt hört man Stimmengewirr und lautere Musik am Abend. Schöner Ausgangspunkt für viele Aktivitäten. gepflegt.

Mevagissey

The property is superbly equipped, with nice practical touches such as the salt & pepper, washing up liquid and cleaning products provided. The bed were very comfortable and the house ultra clean. We found the location of the cottage ideal, in the center of the village, within walking distance of a bakery and lovely fruits & vegetables shop. This meant that we were able to walk the coastal path, take the ferry to Fowey without needing to drive. Mevagissey itself is an adorable village centered around fishing, far from the more touristy locations. We loved it.

Super clean, home from home property

Matched exactly description given of property and contents. Was a pleasure to stay at this property so comfortable, clean and with everything you would need provided. All shops, harbour and facilities on the doorstep. Lovely crafts displayed for sale in nearby church hall where a small cafe also serves very tasty and very reasonably priced meals, pastries, cakes and beverages all day on Wed, Thurs and Fri during holiday season.

Great place to stay

Great weekend in Mevagissey at Pirans Cottage. The cottage was lovely, very well presented, extremely clean and close to everything. We parked at Willow car park which was an easy walk to the property therefore we didnt have to negotiate the narrow streets of Mevagissey in the car. Once there we had everything we needed and more. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Another wonderful break.

Being our second stay in Piran’s Cottage there is a chance that we could be guilty of taking things for granted. We may forget to mention the fluffy white towels and the expensive cotton bed linen (a la Savoy). We may also overlook the up-to-date modern furniture, decoration and all the modern appliances available at hand. So now having not omitted them from this review, we can move on to other advantages of staying in Piran’s Cottage. The location is basically as central to Mevagissey as you can get without, getting your feet wet. Bars, Restaurants, Cafes, Take-aways and shops (including Boots Pharmacy) are all within a few minutes walk through a beautiful Cornish harbour setting. I noticed on this visit, there is even a Health Centre close by; thankfully not required by us. The first week of our stay happened to coincide with “The Mevagissey Feast”, a week of open air concerts in the Harbour, parades complete with brass bands marching through the streets. All the events were carefully timed and efficiently marshalled by local people, consequently we were not inconvenienced in any way whatsoever. All-in-all, another wonderful break in Piran’s Cottage, Mevagissey. Thanks Carol.

Mevagissey - Gute Lage für viele Unternehmungen

Gute Ausstattung, uns hat nichts gefehlt, sogar die Parkgebühren waren im Voraus bezahlt. Der Parkplatz ist schnell zu erreichen. Nur mit den Bezeichnungen der Bettwäsche hatten wir Probleme und wir hoffen, dass der Waeschedienst das besser im Griff hat! ;-) Vielen Dank für die unkomplizierte Abwicklung.

Unser Urlaub in Mevagissey

Wir haben zehn wunderbare Tage in Mevagissey verbracht. Die Unterkunft ist toll eingerichtet, es fehlt wirklich an nichts. Wir haben uns gleich zuhause gefühlt. Die Schlüsselübergabe hat problemlos funktioniert. Auf dem nahe gelegenen Parkplatz war für uns ein Platz reserviert und das Parken war schon im Mietpreis inbegriffen. Trotz der zentralen Lage des Apartments in Mevagissey mit Restaurants, Eisdielen, dem Hafen und vielen netten Läden war das Apartment sehr ruhig und wir wurden nur von den Möwen ab und zu geweckt. Wir werden die Unterkunft und unseren Aufenthalt in sehr guter Erinnerung behalten und kommen gerne wieder.

Great location!

We had a wonderful stay at the beginning of August 2022. The property was extremely clean and well-appointed with everything there that you could need (including some kitchen utensils that we didn't know what they were for! 😆). The fixtures and fittings were all of a high standard and as such the cottage was very comfortable. The owners have really stocked the cottage well - there was plenty of everything, by which I mean things like crockery and cutlery were not in short supply like in some cottages we have stayed. Also, I've never seen so many sturdy wooden clothes hangers supplied in a rental - I loved it and it made such a change from trying to hang many items of clothing on one flimsy hanger! 👍 The location was brilliant with it being in the heart of Mev - so many great pubs, restaurants and independent shops....you will certainly be spoilt for choice. We particularly loved the Harbour restaurant and The Ship Inn. We found the parking arrangement worked really well too -really friendly and helpful car park attendants. This was our first visit to this part of Cornwall but I can safely say that we'll be back and would most certainly look to stay here again. We were blessed with a heatwave and so visited many of the gorgeous beaches along the south and north coasts but there is so much to do locally in any weather that we felt like we didn't even scratch the surface! Overall a wonderful cottage - thank you for a fabulous stay!

Lovely cottage in a great location

We had a lovely time, the cottage is modern and very central to the harbour, we happened to be their during Feast week which was great with a number of groups and bands, a carnival and fireworks. Minor downside is the single bathroom which can be a challenge when there are 4/5 people in the cottage

Superb, quality property

A two storey apartment, full of highest quality furniture, linens, and accessories. The best equipped kitchen we have ever experienced in rental properties, thee was even a properly sharp chef’s knife (being a keen cook, I always take my own as I don’t expect to find good, sharp knives). There were 12 of everything in the kitchen cupboards! Everything is supplied. An excellent property.
