Saint Ia, sits in a wonderful location, overlooking the pretty fishing village of Mevagissey giving panoramic views of the harbour and landscape which you will never grow tired of. On a warm sunny day with the bi- folding doors open, let the warm sea breeze flow into the living space, bringing the outside in. Guests can relax on the outdoor furniture, while watching boats come and go, and soaking up the sun or later on, watch the twinkling lights around the village. Inside, you can enjoy the open plan kitchen dining area, which make meal times a great social occasion and when it's time to retire to the living room, you can cosy up in front of the woodburner on cooler evenings. You will find three spacious bedrooms, each with sumptuous beds, the master bedroom being truly special, with amazing, views, stretching from Mevagissey Bay to Chapel point. Saint Ia also welcomes you to bring along your four legged family member, so they can enjoy the property and stunning coastal walks with you.

Saint Ia is just a five minute walk to the bustling harbour of Mevagissey, where you can enjoy multiple boat rides, browse the many shops, and try out some of the famous Cornish produce on offer. If you enjoy a dip in the sea, you will love being able to watch the sunrise from Polstreath beach, as you swim. Just a short drive away, you can visit the historic towns of Fowey and Charlestown, or perhaps head to the North coast, for surfing and sunsets. Saint Ia is also perfectly situated to visit famous Cornish attractions such as The Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan. The property sits just a stone's throw away from The Southwest Coastal path leading to the beautiful Cornish gems of Chapel Point, Gorran Haven with her sandy sheltered cove and thereafter the spectacular Vault beach at the gateway to the treasured Roseland Peninsula where you can visit numerous Cornish villages and make fantastic memories discovering all the south coast of Cornwall has to offer.

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!

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.

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.

St Ia is a beautiful house furnished to a high standard. Comfortable and very roomy with great views over Mevagissey and out to sea. A little steep to walk into village for us and road to property very narrow but our 4 x4 just managed. Overall a great holiday home and Aspects staff and cleaners were efficient as usual.

We have just returned from a truly wonderful week at Saint la. As a family of six adults and our dog we found this house was extremely spacious. Everyone had plenty of room. The house is beautifully furnished, very well equipped and in a peaceful setting with wonderful views. The balconies at the front provide stunning views and there is also plenty of secluded seating in the lovely raised garden at the back of the house with the added bonus of a Barbecue too. Saint la is in a great location for visiting the surrounding area - plenty to see and do and some lovely dog friendly beaches close by. We would thoroughly recommend a stay.
