Glanville House is a surprisingly spacious cottage with up-close views of pretty Mevagissey harbour. Furnished to easily sleep eight guests, this well-presented house has four double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a cloakroom. The first floor has two twin bedrooms with a family bathroom while the top floor has a kingsize and a double bedroom sharing a shower room. There’s a large sitting room furnished with antiques and a cosy logburner. The ground floor includes a dining kitchen with bespoke handmade cabinets. You’ll find it’s fully-equipped for preparing snacks or family meals.
Throw open the French doors from the airy sitting room and enjoy the call of gulls and the salty sea breeze. Dine outdoors on the furnished patio with gorgeous views of colourful fishing boats bobbing in the harbour below.
Glanville House is a couple of minutes’ walk from the higgledy-piggledy streets of Mevagissey which are lined with gift shops, pubs, a museum and takeaways. The working harbour is alive with fishing boats and pleasure craft offering coastal cruises and mackerel fishing trips for catching dinner. There’s even a regular ferry to Fowey, another historic coastal town worth visiting. Walk the coast path or go swimming in the sandy cove at Portmellon, less than a mile away. The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Charlestown harbour and the Eden Project are fun days out for all ages.
