2 Bedroom Bed in Mevagissey (88402)

St. Austell, Cornwall

4 2 2 Yes

It’s trickier to find a property that ticks every box than you’d think. Consider this dog-and family-friendly gem of an apartment in picturesque Mevagissey. It’s got the lot – sea views, a spacious and modern layout, versatile sleeping quarters, tasteful decor, lovely outside space and absolutely everything you need for an easygoing holiday. This means you and your nearest and dearest can get on with creating magical holiday memories. The double-aspect lounge is a light and airy room where you can watch TV, read a book, chat or just gaze out of the large windows. There’s another lounge which has more of a snug vibe, so you won’t get under each other’s feet. The stylish kitchen/diner has a practical and attractive wooden floor, a quaint window seat and room to cook up and eat a feast! Enjoy a luxurious soak in the Jacuzzi bath admiring the view from the window before bed. Opt for one king-size bedroom or one twin zip-and-link beds that can be configured as a super-king-size upon request. Sit on the suntrap patio to the side of the house and sunbathe or watch the sun set and pat yourself on the back for picking this one! No wonder Mevagissey is so popular – not only does it have quintessential Cornish fishing village looks, but there’s stacks to do here too and you’re within 0.5-1 mile of everything. Watch life pass by at its famous harbour, wending your way down there through the atmospheric narrow streets of the village. Or, for more adventures head south to discover the slightly lesser travelled Rosalind Heritage Coast. Brush up your botany at two horticultural giants: the Eden Project (10 miles) and the Lost Gardens of Heligan (2.5 miles). Dogs on leads are welcome in both, bar the biomes of the former.
