Driving up through this quaint Cornish fishing village you will come to Pencarrow, an impressive property perched right above the harbour and offering stunning sea views with the Fowey Estuary in the distance. From the moment you arrive at this beautiful two bedroom apartment, you'll be mesmerised by the amazing views enjoyed from the luxurious surroundings. Pencarrow offers an open plan living space, plenty of communal outdoor areas from which to enjoy those views, a private parking space and even a wine cooler; you will have everything you need for a truly memorable Cornish holiday.
Mevagissey is set in the heart of Daphne du Maurier country with Charlestown, the famous Poldark filming location just around the corner. Situated on the beautiful south coast and close to both the Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan, it's an ideal base from which to explore this beautiful part of Cornwall. Mevagissey is a small, unspoilt fishing village, retaining its traditional character and has a colourful history of boat building and smuggling. A great selection of top quality pubs, restaurants, shops and of course fresh fish which you can buy straight from the harbour make it perfect for a self catering holiday. For the more energetic you are right on the South West Coast Path with Pentewan sands closeby, with kayak hire and even diving excursions. The sandy cove of Port Mellon is only 700m away.

We absolutely love this apartment. The accommodation is of a very high standard - probably the best holiday home we have stayed in. Everything is of a high quality from the bedding to the kitchen equipment. The view from the front windows in both the bedroom and lounge is amazing. A fantastic place for a holiday.
John PattinsonPencarrow is a perfect location for comfort style and location. My family and I had a fantastic break at Mevagissey where Pencarrow was our base for some lovely family activities from building a jigsaw to enjoying a breakfast feast! I found it ideally situated with a beautiful view and a short walk to the harbour.

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!
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.
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 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.
