About this property
1 The Saltings is situated in the seaside village and fishing port of Mevagissey, on the coast of Cornwall. Approached via a sloping cobbled lane, this property is well-placed for accessing all of the village's amenities and the superb coast. Inside, the owner has renovated the property to provide a warm and welcoming base for friends and families. Upon entering the property, you come into a modest games room with a small table and chairs and table football, something to keep you occupied during those quieter evenings. The property benefits from its own separate sitting room with two large sofas to curl up and unwind and catch up on the day's events whilst the TV is on in the background. A door leads into the open-plan kitchen/diner, fitted to a high-standard with wooden units and sleek granite worktops providing plenty of preparation space for your meals. Gather at the dining table with a refreshing glass of wine and toast to a wonderful holiday before tucking into your lovingly prepared home-cooked meals. The first floor provides three bedrooms, set up as a super-king-size with a day bed, twin and bunk room, suitable for all types of groups wishing to stay here. Each bedroom has a set of furniture for storage purposes and lovely views out across the village. To the rear of the cottage is a delightful patio area where you can sit out during the summer months and read a good book. While you're in the area, make sure you sample some of Mevagissey's finest pubs and restaurants for some fine Cornish delicacies. Choose to explore the stunning coastline by joining the South West Coast Path, something keen walkers and cyclists will delight in. The nearby towns of Truro and St Austell are within driving distance and have a good range of popular tourist attractions to visit. For a bit of exploration through the woods, The Lost Gardens of Heligan are a must-see attraction with a rich history to discover. Or visit the world renowned attraction of The Eden Project, home to two large biomes filled with exotic plants from around the world, some of which are the only of their kind left in existence. For a charming base for friends or families to explore the delightful Cornish coast, book 1 The Saltings.
The perfect Cornish fishing village, with winding cobbled streets and a picturesque harbour full of boats.

We booked the cottage for 2 weeks. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed and more, we were surprised to find a bathroom upstairs and a toilet downstairs which was not stated in the listing, but with a family of 5 this made mornings and bedtime sooooo much easier. The foosball table is a great touch as this gave us all hours of fun and laughter on an evening. This is perfectly situated very close to the harbour with a very handy ally cut through to get there. The host was very friendly and answered any questions we had. We will definitely be returning to mevagissy and would not hesitate booking this lovely very spacious cottage again. Thank you again for allowing us to make ourselves at home while on holiday, we all had a holiday we will never forget, â¤ï¸

Only very slight issue from a dog owner point of view would be to fence off the strange access at the bottom of the garden with a gate for access if needed. Really enjoyed our stay - the property was just what we wanted. Many Thanks Rick Pepper

Well equipped kitchen. It is a great advantage to have parking for two cars in the centre of Mevagissey. Negotiation of the narrow streets takes care. The access to the car park is narrow and tricky, between two walls followed by a left turn into the car park. Wide cars could have problems. We managed ok with care. The Salamander Restaurant at the bottom of the street is excellent with exquisitely presented food. Booking essential. The Ship Inn has reasonably priced pub grub. A good day trip is by the ferry to Fowey.
