About this property
Waverley is a delightful dormer bungalow with sea views on the outskirts of Mevagissey, Cornwall. Set in a quiet area overlooking a grassy common and a sea view of St. Austell Bay, this dog-friendly, family-friendly holiday home makes the perfect escape. On arrival, find ample roadside parking just outside the property and make your way through the front courtyard and into the home. Once inside, you can find a sitting room enjoying the sea views, home to a TV for your evening entertainment after a busy day of exploring. From here, the kitchen/diner has all you need for a self-catering stay, along with a handy washing machine for freshening up clothes and towels after a day at the beach. When sleep calls, choose from three neat bedrooms; a king-size rests on the first floor, while the remaining double and single lie on the ground floor, making Waverley a convenient choice for a multigenerational group! Serving the bedrooms is a sleek shower room where you can wash away the sand or prepare for a day out. To the rear of the home, you can also find a private courtyard, inviting you to savour your morning coffee in the fresh air. Waverley has easy access to the coastal path which runs within yards of the cottage, meaning that Polstreath Beach can be reached by a short walk. Mevagissey harbour is just a stroll away from this lovely Cornwall cottage and you will find plenty to amuse the family, including an aquarium, a model railway centre, shops and cafés and of course the hustle and bustle of a traditional Cornish working harbour. There are plenty of attractions within an easy drive of Waverley including, Caerhays Castle, the UK's only mining heritage centre at Wheal Martyn, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Charlestown Shipwreck and Heritage Centre. Of course, Cornwall is also home to many safe, clean beaches and welcoming pubs, making this Waverley a wonderful base for an active family holiday.
The perfect Cornish fishing village, with winding cobbled streets and a picturesque harbour full of boats. Stunning walks lead along the coast in both directions, with sandy beaches, high cliffs and hidden coves to explore. The village has an excellent selection of pubs and restaurants, whilst just up the road are the Lost Gardens of Heligan. A ferry from Mevagissey to Fowey also runs daily between Easter and September. Spend some time at the Tall Ships harbour at Charlestown (7 miles) with its shipwreck museum, or among the tropical biomes of the world-famous Eden Project (11 miles). The stunning coastline, fabulous beaches and renowned gardens of the beautiful Roseland Peninsula are a short drive down the coast while Truro, with its shops, restaurants, theatre and cathedral can be reached by car in half an hour.

Will definitely be looking to stay here again! The only reason I have not given full marks to the accuracy of the listing is because everything is better than the listing says.

We have stayed here many times with our dog and have already booked again for 2025. Waverley has everything you need. There is a large field across the road and easy access to the South Coast path and Mevagissey harbour. Thank you for all the welcome gifts that are much appreciated. This is one of the best properties we have stayed in.
