On the top floor there is a light and airy sitting room with exposed rafters, with sofa, TV, DVD player, bluetooth wireless speaker and ipod dock, and great views over the harbour and sea.

VISITORS COMMENTS :-
Had the most wonderful stay at Handspan Cottage in Mevagissey. Such a beautiful property in a perfect location with spectacular views. I will definitely be coming back here. Thank you so much Helen and team! I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated all the steps you and your team had taken to ensure Handspan Cottage was Covid safe. We really enjoyed our stay and felt relaxed, seeing all the special measures that you'd put into place. People are often quick to criticise but less inclined to say thank you and well done so here's a thank you and well done from me! Fabulous location by the harbour, loved the views from the stable door. Lots of lovely places to eat, expecially the Sharksfin. We were so lucky with the weather, sun shone everyday! Good location, nice convenient cottage. Thanks. What a lovely little cottage you have, we've loved staying in it. Perfect location around the harbour. The views of the harbour are amazing. Mevagissey is my favourite place. I've many memories of this place, so we certainly will be back. Cottage in great location within lovely, friendly Mevagissey, which has great places to eat and drink. Would certainly return to Mevagissey. Really enjoyed my stay here. Cottage is comfortable, perfectly located with lovely views. Hope to return soon. |
