About this property
Set at the heart of the quaint, Cornish village of Mevagissey, rests this charming, two-bedroom holiday home, 7 Fore Street. Boasting tastefully-presented living areas and fantastic positioning to nearby amenities and attractions, this delightful, three-storey property welcomes four guests for a self-catered, fuss-free escape to the coast of Cornwall. Once you're unpacked, make yourself at home in your new lodgings by getting acquainted with the well-equipped kitchen, where you and your loved ones can whip up a delicious, home-cooked meal to be savoured around the dining table whilst you catch up on the day's events. In the evenings, be sure to indulge in a long, rejuvenating shower before catching your sleep in one of two inviting bedrooms, both of which await to whisk you off to a night of well-earned rest. After enjoying your morning coffee as you gaze out into the centre of the village from your kitchen window, be sure to explore Mevagissey and all it has to offer, by stocking up on supplies at Mevagissey News, picking up some souvenirs at The Corner Shop, settling down for some traditional pub fare at The Sharksfin, or spend some time roaming the grounds of the Mevagissey Museum and the idyllic Mevagissey Harbour Wall. A short drive south along the coast will bring you to the hamlet of Penare, where you can take a stroll along the lush sands of Hemmick Beach, take in sea views at Porthmeor Beach, or watch waves crash against the cliffs of the National Trust scenic point of The Dodman. During your stay in The Roseland Heritage Coast, be sure to not miss the Trelissick Garden National Trust spot, The Lost Gardens Heligan, or the stunning beaches of Carne, Towan and Porthcurnick. All of this and more is waiting to be enjoyed during your stay at 7 Fore Street.
The ideal Cornish fishing community, complete with narrow streets made of cobblestone and a lovely harbour dotted with boats. The coast offers breathtaking treks in both directions, with sand beaches, towering cliffs, and secret coves to discover. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are only up the road, and the village has a great selection of pubs and eateries. From Easter to September, a ferry service connects Mevagissey and Fowey. Spend some time in Charlestown's (7-mile) Tall Ships Harbour and its shipwreck museum or at the renowned Eden Project's tropical biomes (11 miles). A short drive from Truro, with its shops, restaurants, theatre, and church, and a half-hour journey from the breathtaking Roseland Peninsula's lovely coastline, fantastic beaches, and renowned gardens.

However, there were some issues (not reported to the owner as didnât need urgent addressing) which were disappointing. The front entry door is very dirty and isnât inviting when you arrive. There is mould in the shower on the grout and sealant and a dirty extractor fan cover. The basin drain is blocked and slow running. The bottom sheet in the double bed doesnât fit, too small so canât be tucked in. All these things shouldâve been addressed in preparation of our stay. The owner kindly arranged for an iron and ironing board for our use, however the cover was very stained and had a ripped. What was very disappointing is I noted many of these things had been pointed out before by previous guests but not addressed. While the TV has Netflix, NOW TV etc it would be good to have the regular channels. The sofas are too small to reasonably accommodate four adults comfortably. While this is a lovely apartment with some great positives it did lack the attention to detail which is appreciated by paying guests.
