  This property is a real home from home.

  It has everything you might need for your stay and your comfort. The only thing it didn't have was a hair dryer, so take one with you. But the owners quickly supplied one after I mentioned I haven't bought mine. The white TV in the photos has been replaced with a larger black one. I had no problems with the signal as mentioned by another review. The bed and sofa are very comfy. I loved having the footstools to put my feet up at the end of a tiring day walking and the throw. The property is in a very quiet location, no noise at night (couldn't hear any Seagulls, unlike other properties I have stayed at in Cornwall). There is a heated towel rail in the bathroom for drying towels or an extendable airer in the garden. A tall unit in the bedroom doubles as a mirror if you turn it around - ingenious. Off road parking right outside property. I preferred to walk down to the harbour via the coast path, there are steps but it is not as steep as walking down/up the road and better views. Instructions of how to join it are in the property. Would recommend getting the ferry from Mevagissey to Fowey (£17 return 2023) instead of driving there. Lovely walk along the SWCP from Mevagissey to Gorran Haven and onto Dodman Point. If you carry onto Hemmick beach (this part is steep in places and very overgrown), you can take the direct route back to Gorran Haven via fields and a camp site, which takes half the time. Then get the bus back to Mevagissey. Very nice ice cream at Gorran Haven, which is very welcome after a long walk. Charlestown very charming place to visit, where they filmed some of Poldark. Another nice easy SWCP walk is Portscatho to St Mawes, good views across to Falmouth. Portscatho is a lovely stop for picnic lunch, there was also a restaurant there which looked inviting but I didn't use it.

  It was a lovely cottage, well furnished, smart and homely, very clean, tidy and pleasant.

  We enjoyed the overall experience and the hosts were excellent. We were greeted with 2 fresh scones with jam and clotted cream, greatly enjoyed. We only had a couple of minor issues, we discovered early on that a frequently used country road backs directly onto the house and therefore traffic noise was often. Being a snorer I slept in the single bed in the side room while my partner stayed in the double bed. She found the double too soft while I found the single too hard, however I don't class this as a complaint because everybody has there own preference. The other very minor point was in the single bed room there was no bedside cabinet so I just temporarily moved one of the two beside the double bed and returned it to its original place on leaving. We found the kitchen good and with everything you needed for a stay, the dining/lounge/TV area was great and the sofa particularly comfortable. Heating was all you needed, the shower was great as was the wash basin in the nicely decorated bathroom. Perhaps a small consideration would be blackout material on the stairwell curtains and single room. The overall decor was really lovely and made staying feel like home from home. And the surrounding countryside was refreshing too.

  We were extremely pleased with the standard of cleanliness and had chosen the property as it was modern in design with up to date fittings etc.

  so were not disappointed. The bathroom and shower was perfect too. The only downside for us personally was that the garden was not designed with a dog in mind therefore we found it was not ideal for our elderly labrador/spaniel cross. I had envisaged the garden differently than we found it to be, so will undertake more research when making any future bookings. The hill down to the harbour in Mevagissey would be too steep for some people to manage to walk, which we did not appreciate fully until the return journey (although there were payable parking facilities in Mevagissey). We had a wonderful time with so much to see and do in the area and would recommend the property to anyone fit and able to manage the hills when on foot. P.S. We noted the owner feedback book with minor points: No potato peeler or tin opener. An indoor clothes airer would be appreciated if it is too wet to use the outdoor washing line. P.P.S. There was no extra bedding should this have been required and we were unable to find any instructions for the wall heaters (which to my knowledge did not appear to work, although the small room fire did). Thankfully we were very lucky with good weather for the time of year and had a fantastic time.

  Smashing little cottage just a stones throw from the sea.

  Bed was comfy and warm as weather was a bit dodgy. Kitchen well equipped. Lounge was comfortable and free view on TV came in handy for evening entertainment. Bathroom spacious, shower good n hot and proper thick bath sheets!. Little secure yard so doggo could be let outside without concerns for a mooch. I did meet the owner x1 and was able to thank him in person for the welcoming bottle of Prosecco for me and treats for my hairy mate. We got a parking for the week at the closely located car park for £35. I am glad we did as the traffic warden made an unexpected visit!. Gorran Haven is a little gem and the beach is lovely, local shop is well stocked with baked goods and other foods including locally sourced veg, and the bar is very friendly. Used the chip shop although they did only open from Wednesday to Saturday. That was great and portions very generous. And this week bar shut around 5pm, hot food was also available there during the day. Hours do extend as season gets busier.

  An Kres is a wonderful little home from home, with every comfort you can think of.

  .. even the dreaded WiFi that no one seems to be able to cope without.. Too many things to list that are available for use on arrival, and all they ask is that you keep it tidy and put the rubbish out.. Gill and Colin are lovely hosts and neighbours and are full of useful local information but by the same token will leave you alone to enjoy Located just outside the village of Mevagissy it's either a quick walk downhill to the town or you can take the car.. helpful tip.. use the willow car and coach park as this means you can drive straight out without having to drive through the town to come back Small patio area to the rear of the house is great if theres just the two of you, but the dog struggled as he didn't have any grass (he,s fussy like that) but a quick walk round the corner soon sorted him out.. Would definately recommend as this is great value for money for this time of year, will hopefully be back again sometime soon.. Jon & Allison
