Book

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque fishing village of Mevagissey, The Sea Hoss, affectionately known as 'The Oss', is a charming property that immerses you in the rich tapestry of local history and coastal beauty. Perched on the eastern quay, this stunning house has a facade, adorned with weathered planks salvaged from a German bark vessel, that met its fate on these shores in the 1800s, a reminder of the maritime heritage that envelops this quaint village. The Sea Hoss offers you the perfect base to immerse yourself in the authentic Cornish experience. Aspects Holidays warmly invites you to book your stay at the Sea Hoss, where you can create cherished memories and relish the allure of Cornwall's coastal charm.

As you step into The Sea Hoss, the ground floor beckons with its harbour-facing entrance and a rustic stable door. Start your day by preparing a leisurely breakfast in the modern galley kitchen, and then luxuriate in the soft embrace of an early morning sea breeze, while sipping coffee, watching the sun slowly ascend over Mevagissey Bay. The second floor reveals a tastefully decorated, sun-drenched, open-plan reception room, that offers sweeping views of the inner harbour. Adjacent to this, a cozy snug awaits, perfect for indulging in some television, or curling up with a holiday novel. This level also offers a second entrance onto Cliff Street, a gateway to adventure. The top floor of The Sea Hoss cradles a bright and sunny twin bedroom, perfect for guests seeking a peaceful retreat as well as the cozy double bedroom, offering a snug haven for rest. Nestled between them, a bijou bathroom beckons with its luxurious rolled-top bath, where you can soak away your cares while gazing out at the panoramic views of Chapel Point. This gem of a cottage invites you to embrace the true essence of Cornish life. Plan your day with a wealth of local activities at your fingertips, from leisurely boat trips to exhilarating rib rides, or embark on a glass-bottom boat adventure to explore the marine wonders beneath the surface.

We had a lovely week at The Sea Hoss! Just a few great things about it: beautiful location on the harbour, fabulous and interesting view from every window, comfy beds, great kitchen, interesting picturesque town. Would love to go back.

Wow, what a lovely and interesting property! Have stayed in a few places in Mevagissey and this is by far the best. Beautifully decorated and bright, all the furniture is comfortable. It was so relaxing and each room has wonderful views. The location is right on the harbour which is fab. Lovely welcome basket on arrival and they even had bowls,treats and towels for our dog which was thoughtful. Two bathrooms with showers was a bonus and I thought the screen you could put across the spiral staircase was a clever touch for dogs and children. We'll definitely be booking this place again

Holidays in Mevagissey

Stay in Mevagissey and you’ll be perfectly placed to explore all that the south coast of Cornwall has to offer. Take a ferry trip to Fowey, visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan or spend a day at the beach at the nearby Pentewan Sands.

Best known for its harbour and fishing boats, Mevagissey still boasts as being part of Cornwall’s thriving fishing industry. Fresh fish can even be bought from the hut on the harbour wall, located a short stroll from the village aquarium, once the lifeboat station. Wander around the harbour area, with its narrow streets, fascinating shops and galleries and recall its smuggling history, or just relax in the bars and restaurants and coves and on nearby beaches.

There is a ferry boat which runs from end of April to beginning of October from Mevagissey to Fowey three or four times a day (don’t miss the return journey!) – journey time about 35 minutes. You may be lucky and spot some playful dolphins!

Beaches near Mevagissey

Situated on the south coast, which is known for its balmy weather and beautiful blue seas, you won’t be short of beach days during your stay in Mevagissey.

Portmellon beach – Just over the hill from Mevagissey lies the pretty village of Portmellon with its perfectly sheltered, sandy beach. At low tide, you’ll find a fantastic stretch of sand ready and waiting for beach games, while high tide sees the waves lapping mere feet from the road.

Pentewan beach – A wonderfully large expanse of white sand that’s just down the road from the bobbing boats of Mevagissey, Pentewan is a stunning spot for some sunbathing and sea-bathing. You’ll also find plenty of opportunities for watersports, with windsurfing, kayaking and sailing all popular options.

Polstreath beach – Also known as Mevagissey beach, this pretty cove is a short coastal walk from the harbour of Mevagissey. The climb down might be on the steeper side but you’ll be rewarded with perfect swimming conditions and stunning views.

Gorran Haven beach – Alongside the gorgeous sandy beach at Gorran Haven, which is only a few miles from Mevagissey, you’ll find lots of lovely pubs and cafés where you can rest and refuel after a day in the waves.

The Sea Hoss offers perfect accommodation directly on the harbour with stunning views. Very comfortable sofa and beds, well equipped kitchen and exceptionally clean. This is our third visit and the property never disappoints.

We have stayed in many properties in Mevagissey but this is by far the best property we have stayed in for location and cleanliness, and is very well equipped. We would highly recommend staying in this property.

We booked with Aspects Holidays who looked after us 100%. We will definitely be booking this property again.

A beautiful cottage in an amazing location - this was our 3rd visit and just as lovely as on previous trips. Immaculately clean, very comfy bed and sofa and a mesmerising view. Probably the best holiday home in Mevagissey!

Beautiful property just as the photos show. Very clean and comfortable. Our dog was made to feel welcome too. Very well equipped and the electric aga cooked our meals lovely every night apart from eating out once. Parking on the main car park was straightforward and we managed to drop our bags off with no problem. There is a shop and fruit and veg shop but lobb’s farm shop was only a very short drive away. We walked into Portmellon, Pentewan and Gorran Haven. Fantastic views of seals and dolphins along the coast path to Chapel point.

We have just spent an enjoyable 5 nights staying in the Sea Hoss. The property is beautifully furnished and very unique. The position of the house is idyllic, perfect for watching the comings and goings in the harbour and minutes away from a multitude of restaurants, pubs and takeaways. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The Sea Hoss is a really nice property and we were pleasantly surprised. The location is fantastic and the property has a nice quirky feel to it. The living areas and bathrooms were nicely decorated and clean and we particularly enjoyed opening the kitchen door (can also just open the top half), looking straight into the harbour watching the boats coming and going.

Whilst there we did a coastal walk to Pentewan which leads into the holiday park that has a restaurant / diner on the beach which was great. The walk was very steep in places, but the views were excellent. We also walked into Portmellon which was less steep and also has some very nice views.

There isn't any parking at The Sea Hoss but you can use the Willow Car and Coach park (has attendants during the day) which was about a 6 minute, flat walk with plenty of space for large vehicles. Our vehicle was parked there for 4 nights with no issues and you can come and go as you please.

Everything is on the doorstep at The Sea Hoss and the staff at Aspects were great so we wouldn't hesitate to return for another stay.
