Best's Cottage

Situated over-looking the historic harbour of Mevagissey, this once fisherman's cottage sits directly on the coast path. We have accommodation for 5, 1 double, 1 bunk bed and a single bed. We welcome furry friends and the cottage is a perfect base for long coastal walks, or strolls around the harbour. Alternatively, sit and enjoy the view, take beach days, boat trips and explore local attractions. Our cosy cottage offers a great place to relax and get away. The space Best's Cottage has been in our family for 3 generations. Our Grandfather Best, a Cornishman through and through, spent many summers here with our Grandmother and we joined them as often as we could, spending the days on a beach or a boat. Mevagissey is a fantastic place to explore the south coast of Cornwall especially by boat or foot. Our front door opens directly onto the south west coast path, giving you access to miles and miles of breathtaking coast. Our local beach, Polstreath, is 10-15 mins walk over the headland. Accesible by foot only, it is an idyllic place to spend time or swim in the sea. Guest access Private 3 bedroomed house.
