Summary: The cottage is a lovely, cosy home from home down by the harbour. The whole holiday was just perfect, couldn't have asked for more. The kitchen has everything you need to cater for yourself and there are great places to eat in the village. This was my wife's first time coming to England, Cornwall and Mevagissey, she totally fell in love with the area and we will be back soon. Fiona, the host, is easy to communicate with and left a very extensive welcome pack of information in the cottage. The walks, beaches and gardens all close by are a delight and we were able to watch dolphins and seals from the coastal paths. On the high tide, we loved watching the fishing boats coming home with fresh fish, all available in the village. We highly recommend Thimble cottage for your perfect Cornish vacation.

Summary: Thimble cottage is a warm and welcoming place to stay. Everything you need - a well equipped kitchen, brilliant shower, comfy beds and walking distance to shops, beaches, pubs, restaurants and the harbour. Definitely going to book again.

Summary: Had a great stay here. Cottage was clean and well maintained. You can walk everywhere from here, but as in most Cornish fishing villages the streets are steep. Anyone with mobility issues may struggle. Due to Covid issues it was not easy to get in some of the local pubs and restaurants. We had a great meal in the Salamander which I would recommend. We would gladly stay here again.

Summary: Delightful cottage with wonderful views from upstairs over Mevagissey harbour (a highlight for me) Very comfortable and it had everything you could need, felt straight at home. Fiona was a great host and from booking to leaving was always very helpful. Mevagissey is a beautiful place to stay but also a great base for exploring and there is plenty to see and do. Highly recommend!

Summary: We had a lovely stay in Mevagissey despite the weather! The cottage is in a good location overlooking the harbour, although this does mean there's no vehicle access which makes getting luggage in and out tricky. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to self cater. Although we enjoyed our stay I wouldn't recommend it for families with young children as it's not very toddler friendly. Good for couples or families with older children.

Summary: Lovely quaint cottage with lots of cute decorative touches and shabby chic decor which really made it feel very homely. Mevagissey was great and had good community feeling even though obviously has lots of visitors at this time of year. Lots of recommendations of things to do, places to visit and suggested restaurants etc We did some great walks on the coastal path and visited Heligan, Fowey and Eden and enjoyed some great meals out (including the Portuguese restaurant as recommended!) All in all a brilliant holiday so thanks for everything.
