Captain's Cabin

Captain's Cabin is a first-floor one-bedroom apartment on Market Square in Mevagissey, sleeping 2 adults. The position puts the village's working double harbour, fish-and-chip shops, and narrow lanes immediately outside the door. 71 reviews on Sykes give it a 10/10 rating - one of the highest-rated properties in this part of Cornwall.

Inside, the apartment has a double bedroom, one bathroom with washing machine, and a sitting room with kitchen. WiFi is included. The building is on the square itself, so noise from the village during summer evenings is a factor to consider. No garden or outdoor space - this is a town-centre apartment, not a rural retreat.

Pentewan Beach is 2.2km south. Gorran Haven, a calm family beach with a small car park, is 3.3km along the coast. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are roughly 3 miles inland - the restored Victorian kitchen gardens and jungle garden take a half-day to cover properly. Mevagissey's own harbour is the cottage for mackerel fishing trips from June to October.

Best for couples who want to be in the thick of a working fishing village, within walking distance of food, the harbour, and the coastal path. Less good for those wanting quieter surroundings, a garden, or accommodation that accepts dogs.
