Am's flat is situated in an elevated position overlooking the roof tops of Mevagissey village and beyond. This is a perfect bolthole for couples wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Unwind on the south-facing terrace with a glass of wine watching the sun go down or a short walk from the property will take you right into the heart of Mevagissey, where you can soak up the atmosphere in this working fishing village.
Either take a boat trip around the harbour or enjoy an early supper at 'The Fountain Pub' which is said to serve the best fish and chips in the village. On cooler evenings head back to Am's Flat, light the fire and cosy up for the evening.

We stayed for one week in early September at Ams Flat and we were greeted warmly on arrival by the lovely owner Marilyn. The flat is well positioned for easy access to Mevagissey and the harbour and restaurants. The flat is perfect for a couple, it is tastefully decorated and well equipped and we hope to return at some point in the future. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Holidays in Mevagissey
Wish you were here already? Watch our Mevagissey webcam here>
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.
If you are lucky enough to be here during Mevagissey Feast Week in the summer, do take full advantage of the activities being held. Said to be the oldest festival in Cornwall, it attracts exhibitions, live music, parades, a fete and wonderful firework display.
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
Pentewan Beach is the nearest large sandy beach situated a little north of Mevagissey. Please note that dogs are not allowed on the beach from 1 March to 1 November.
Polstreath Beach is also known as Mevagissey beach. It is located just north of Mevagissey and is accessed via the coastal path and steep steps down to the cove.
Gorran Haven beach can be reached via the coastal path, or is just a short drive away. Just two miles from Mevagissey, the quaint village of Gorran Haven has some lovely pubs and cafés, and a gorgeous sandy beach which is a great spot for swimming and kayaking.
Walks
There are some wonderful walks in and around Mevagissey, especially if you take the coastal path. You can head south to Gorran Haven, a small fishing village with a beautiful beach, just two miles from Mevagissey. Alternatively, if you travel north, you can head towards Pentewen, another small village with a lovely beach. From Pentewen, you can take the trail through the woods, or if you prefer, you can hire a bike from Pentewen to explore the woodland on wheels.

Mr Clarke Aug 2019
Come and enjoy the very short way to harbour but staying quiet in your flat (except gull-yelling ;)
Mrs Van De Gey Jul 2019
Am’s flat is very comfortable and close to all the amenities in Mevagissey. Marilyn the owner is very helpful and even provided us with a cream tea when we arrived.
Dr Canter Jul 2019
Great location. Comfortable well equipped flat. Lovely outside space overlooking the village. Very short walk to the village and amenities. Having a dedicated parking space was great. Marilyn was very helpful and helped us transport our luggage from the car to the flat.
Mr Jones Jul 2019
Am's Flat is the perfect location, to go out and about and only 2 minutes to the centre of the village. Marilyn the owner, is lovely. Very welcoming & informative, always checking that everything is ok and you have everything that you need. Fab accomadation.
Mrs Roberts Jul 2019
We particularly loved the terrace with views over the roof tops of Mevagissey, which is a real sun trap even in November, and the open fire in the evening. The flat is immaculately kept by the owner Marilyn who is a warm host with excellent local knowledge. Am's flat is only a two minute walk from the centre of Mevagissey but it's elevated position makes it an extremely peaceful place to relax.
Mr Blackwell Nov 2018
Beautiful cottage, clean and well decorated. Great location, can’t fault anything. We would happily return tomorrow if we could! Marilyn, the owner was lovely and welcoming. A cream tea was waiting for us when we arrived...perfect!
Mrs Nicholas Sep 2018
Lovely to have been met by Marilyn, shown to our parking place and then our bags being taken in her car to the property! The cream tea waiting in the fridge was very welcome too!! She was very easily contactable throughout our whole stay and provided help and advice when needed. Lots of homely touches in the flat which were much appreciated. Would definitely book again with this or any other Aspect property.
Mrs Smith Aug 2018

Miss Dorward Jul 2018
Marilyn was a lovely host. Available if you needed anything, but not intrusive. It was a pleasure to meet her. Am' s flat was in a perfect location, very clean and comfortable. Would definitely return.
Ms Carter Jul 2018
The cottage was very pretty, clean and tidy, well equipped and very cosy and in a great location for access to the harbour and shops. The owner was so very helpful and welcoming with regard to anything we needed assistance with.
It’s in a great location with lovely views over the town below and can be accessed easily without having to go through the town with your car. It’s just a lovely place to stay we had a wonderful week.
Mr Weedy Jun 2018
This cottage is perfectly situated just above the village on the hillside and overlooks all the rooftops and surrounding valley. A couple of minutes down a steepish path or narrow lane through the houses, both leading to the Fountain Pub & harbour, great for tea or ice cream on the harbour benches & watch whats going on.
Cottage has a terrace with picnic bench, ideal for eating out or just catching the view with a cuppa.
Parking (there is a charge) in an allocated space in an adjacent street which means you can miss all the holiday traffic through town or park in the large Willow car park near town.
Mr Windows May 2018
Very lovely stay and the owner couldn't have been more helpful
