Perfect cottage in the most beautiful location!

By The Scottow’s on 19-Aug-2023

We had a perfect week in the wonderful Thimble cottage. Everything with Thimble was brilliant, so clean and had everything we needed and more! The neighbours were helpful and friendly and the owners were so informative about everything. Simply perfect, as is the location. Would highly recommend.

Sweet cottage only a minute walk from the harbour front

By Gilly Waugh on 12-Aug-2023

We really enjoyed our weeks stay in August. The cottage was furnished in a pretty seaside style and there were lots of nautical touches in each room. Beds and duvets super comfy and shower nice and powerful. The little terrace at the rear is charming, with no sea view but a lovely space for a bbq or drink. Good views over the roof tops to the harbour from 2nd floor in particular. Less so from 1st floor living room. We're tall so needed to duck a few times on the 2nd floor landing as beams low but once in bedroom no issues with height. Its less than a minute to walk to the harbour which was great. Parking isn't far. Less than 10 minute walk and flat until the path to cottage. Mevagissey is lovely, quite small but has enough to do, lots of shops and some lovely boutiques. Around the harbour are some fab pop up fish cafes - salt and pepper squid - yum.

Family holiday

By Elizabeth Whittingham on 22-Jul-2023

We stayed at the lovely Thimble Cottage in Mevagissey for a week. The cottage is lovely, very clean and well furnished. It is in an ideal spot - not too much of a steep climb to get to it and right in the heart of the harbour. There is plenty to do both in Mevagissey and the surrounding area. Great communication from the owner. Definitely recommend.
