boats in the harbour
Skysail is an amazing home with an excellent location, spectacular views, spotlessly clean and wonderfully equipped. Mevagissey is a lovely beautiful little fishing Port – enjoyed the quaint little shops, excellent fish an chips on the harbour. Would recommend She Sells for Bagels and Crepes with Sharksfin restaurant being ideal for special occasions. Our highlights on our travels was Perranporth beach where we did a bit of bod boarding then had a BBQ whilst watching the glorious sunset. If you like a bit of history and a good hike then you will like the trip to see the Castle Ruins at Tintagel. The welcome pack was a great touch and very much appreciated. Both families enjoyed our stay immensely and would strongly recommend Skysail as a brilliant holiday home to stay. Thank you so uch for a wonderful holiday!! xx

race of the fishermen
Mevagissey has a lot to offer, not only an extensive choice of eateries from cafes to foody restaurants, serving local mevagissey and cornish fayre and fish favourites with fresh caught fish.
Mevagissey hosts lovely shops amidst the labyrinth of tiny roads and streets in Mevagissey with cobbled alleyways. Cornish treats on offer include fudge, antiques, boutiques, Fatface, shoes, Boots the chemist, handmade silver jewellery, art galleries and gift shops. Mevagissey offers mackerel and deep sea fishing trips, speedboat sightseeing rides, free museum, model railway and aquarium, the ferry to Fowey for a lovely day out or one of its other destinations. For a lovely beach there is Portmellon where you can get a snack at the Snack Shack or hire a paddleboard, or a short car ride or coastal walk to Gorran Haven for the most fabulous beach. (here you can hire a kayak)
Or you could just spend the day on the balcony…overlooking the sea, Mevagissey Harbour and Chapel Point enjoying the lovely seaview of the South Cornish coast.
