“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Harlyn and would highly recommend it.”

The property was comfortable and well equipped down to little things like supplying hand soap in the bathrooms. The walk from the village is arduous but as we love mevagissey it's worth it.

“Lovely bungalow, a very quiet and peaceful area to stay.”

Everything you need for a relaxing holiday.

- Richard, September 2024
Carl August 2024

“Great place to stay, we found it very relaxing and close to all amenities.”

The one downside is we enjoy walking and one of the only ways to go to the harbour was up/down a very steep road (25% hill). You could drive 4 minutes to Pentewan beach, which is great if you wanted a dog free beach. Around the corner is Polstreath beach, which is down some 175 steps to get to the beach,which is secluded and lovely.

“Lovely little bungalow.”

Set in a perfect location. Felt really homely with an amazing garden. Will definitely be looking into booking here again!

- Laura, August 2024
John June 2024

“On line says the harbour is a short walk.”

yes it is but it does not state the fact of a very uphill walk which could be a problem for some people. property was lovely and we were very comfortable.

- John, June 2024
Stephen November 2023

“We love staying at Harlyn, 5 minutes walk from Mevagissey (15 minutes back because of the hill).”

Lovely bungalow, loads of space and a great garden.

- Stephen, November 2023
Adrian Gerald November 2023

“The property was as advertised, and is a very lovely place to rest up and take a week off.”

Warm, quiet, home from home comforts. Parking space for one car, and nice enclosed garden, with privacy. No real dog walks close by, so take a torch for you and your dog is my suggestion if at nighttime due to narrow roads and vehicles, when walking on any roads. Highly recommend this property for warmth and comfort.

- Adrian Gerald, November 2023
Kirsty October 2023

“This is a lovely place to stay, very spacious, well equipped and perfectly situated to explore Mevagissey and surrounding areas.”

The bungalow is lovely and warm with lots of books and games if you find yourself stuck in on a rainy day. The hosts are nearby and always on hand if you need them, but we didn't everything was good. Highly reccomend the Ship Inn, The chip shop and fudge shop in Mevagissey and there's a lovely little park with a stream too. We would definitely return it been a lovely relaxing stay. Thank you.

- Kirsty, October 2023
Allison October 2023

“This is our second stay at a cottage owned by Mr Grey.”

Once again we had a fabulous stay. and would highly recommend.

Andy August 2023

“This was our second holiday at Harlyn.”

It is very much a home from home I would move in tomorrow if I could.

Carol July 2023

“We have stayed in Mevagissey many times but this is the first time we’ve rented a house for the family.”

Harlyn was everything we could wish for. Spotlessly clean and comfortable with everything provided, a real home from home. The secure garden is beautiful and safe for dogs. On arrival we found a welcome pack of goodies, plus milk and wine in the fridge. There is off-road parking for 2 cars. Vicarage Hill is very steep, so a walk to the village is ok going down, but walking up is only an option for the fit and healthy! We did a circular walk, down Vicarage Hill, around the harbour and back via the coast path which is not quite so steep. About 2.5 miles round, with spectacular sea views and plenty of places to stop and catch your breath! The council car park in the centre of village is free after 4pm each day, and we made good use of that. There are lots of pubs, cafes and restaurants, many of them dog friendly, and we had tea at the Ship Inn on several evenings. We were surprised and very pleased to find 2 small bakeries (Martins and Mary’s) that sold freshly made gluten free products. Mr Grey is very friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. We would definitely book this property again.

- Carol, July 2023
Brian June 2023

“Lovely stay at Harlyn, Mevagissey harbour is a short drive as are many other places to visit.”

Harlyn’s peaceful garden was great place to rest after a long day sight seeing.

- Brian, June 2023
Ann Millicent May 2023

“Mevagissey is a lovely spot for exploring the St Austell area of Cornwall.”

Our holiday property was bright and roomy, with plenty of books and games for the rainy days, even though every day was sunny. The garden was an oasis of calm after a hard days traipsing around the coast. The walks and views around the this part of the country are truly inspirational. Thank you to the owners for the welcome pack, that was much appreciated.

- Ann Millicent, May 2023
Rachel March 2023

“We all had such a lovely time in a home from home feel from Harlyn.”

Totally enjoyed staying there, place has everything and more you could want. Perfect owners just near if need of anything to be very helpful. Lovely to walk around the area, though be prepared for hills. If you get the right weather its just nice to sit in the garden hear the birds singing. Lots of places to visit also without too much travelling. Plenty of doggo friendly beaches and places to eat. Thank you for making our stay lovely

- Rachel, March 2023
Karen March 2023

“Harlyn is a lovely comfortable property in a great location, the owners live a couple of doors away and we’re very helpful.”

The garden was beautiful well kept, all in all the perfect place to relaxed

- Karen, March 2023
Robert February 2023

“It was a lovely bungalow.”

Everything we needed was there and a perfect garden for our dogs. The welcome pack was a nice touch! The property was a little dated but there are no complaints from us. We had a lovely stay.

- Robert, February 2023
Stephen November 2022

“This is our 3rd time at Harlyn, first since the refurbishment to the Kitchen etc.”

It is a lovely house with loads of space so you can choose not to be on top of each other if you want. The owners live nearby so any issues can be resolved really quickly, not that we had any. The location is also great, 5-10 minute walk from Mevagissey Harbour, maybe a 20 minute walk back up a steep hill though. I would recommend this property and would definitely go back myself.

- Stephen, November 2022
Rositsa October 2022

“We had a great holiday.”

Harlyn is fantastic house with beautiful garden and everything what you need. The host Mr Grey is very friendly and helpful.

Ian September 2022

“The cottage was faultless there was everything and more you could wish for!”

I have stayed in many cottages over the years and this is one of the best all round stays we’ve had! The owners are lovely people and make you very welcome! I would definitely book this cottage again!

“Spent a wonderful week at Harlyn, the property was well equipped, comfortable and spacious.”

Owners were lovely and next door, so available for any issues or just general advice about the area. Couldn't fault the property. Would highly recommend.

- Sarah, July 2022
Helen June 2022

“Wonderful and well equipped bungalow in the fabulous seaside port of Mevagissey.”

This accommodation has everything you could wish for and is a real home from home. Comfy beds, great kitchen and fridge freezer and book end conservatories! The private garden is lovely & very peaceful in the evenings. Fabulous after a long day out exploring & thoroughly recommend eating al fresco and chilling with a glass of wine (or two) in the summerhouse! It even has a raised terrace with a large platform for some morning yoga (should you be so inclined). A great central location to explore the East Coast of Cornwall, with plenty of sightseeing, coves, beaches and coastal walking in both directions. Just one word of advice: the walk down Vicarage Hill to the harbour is easy enough but the climb back up again should carry a government health warning!!!!!

- Helen, June 2022
Sandra April 2022

“The cottage was really pleasant to stay in.”

We had a really good stay at Harlyn. Lots of space in the rooms. The garden was very nice and the summer house added to the options. One of our dogs discovered that the garden was not fully enclosed but it was a wonderful resource for them, with lots of interesting features. It is very well placed for visiting attractions and there are lovely beaches fairly close with good options for dogs at this time of year or just to enjoy the Cornish sands.

- Sandra, April 2022
Kat April 2022

“There no doubts it’s a hill back from the harbour but it’s totally fine if you are physically able and comes with all the added benefits of being able to drive easily to and from the property instead of navigating the inner town roads.”

- Kat, April 2022
Catherine July 2021

“Had a relaxing week in Harlyn.”

The garden is beautiful and we made good use of the bbq. The house is a home from home with all the amenities you need.

- Catherine, July 2021
Richard July 2021

“This was our first holiday for a long time and we were really looking forward to a break.”

The village is nice, lots of nice places to eat. The hill is very steep being a challenge both up and down but great for keeping fit! The bungalow itself is tired and very dated with lots of trinkets in random places and needs attention. The kitchen is poorly equipped, very old cooker, limited crockery and cooking utensils so don’t expect to be able to cook properly. Tiny fridge and a small freezer in the conservatory, which also contains 6 chairs and a very small garden table. Didn’t have a function as a room, and summed up the feel of the place. Some attention to slim down the eclectic hand me down feel of the place is recommended - this would make it feel more welcoming and a practical homely space. Upgrading the kitchen is also recommended. We didn’t need 3 glass vases and 3 glass ornaments on one window sill, tankards on the shelves and 10 different one of glasses to use - all gathering dust! No one set of anything that could be used in practical terms. The whole place felt full and a bit of a storage home for stuff. Garden is nice, and lots of places to sit, flat, private and comfy. Owners are really kind and put biscuits and wine in for us and explained different places to go and how to walk into town - nice touch and really kind people. The place is very dated and felt sad and it made it difficult to enjoy being in it. Small touches which “could” have been nice like providing a kitchen roll and wipes, but these were the most basic poor quality and not useable - either up the standard or leave them out. Also bring your own toilet rolls, 1 super thin roll was provided per bathroom for a family of 5, and bring your own towels - we had one hand towel per bathroom plus one shower towel each person for the week. These felt like cost cutting measures, and as we shower daily it meant we had to wash the towels and ended up buying some extras from the supermarket to make it easier for ourselves. On arrival we had to dust and wipe things down surfaces and clean behind doors - the cleaners attention to detail was lacking. The front steps are slippy when wet and has an overgrown hedge on them meaning you have to walk the narrow steps at an angle, this needs attention and could be dangerous. Some cleaning equipment would also be nice for a week to keep things tidy and is a worthwhile investment (it did have pegs and a line though). As a base it’s ok, it has potential and these recommendations could really make the guest experience much better. The area is a really quiet no through road and within minutes of the coastal path for walking. We wouldn’t return because it lacked the things we would call essentials in a property and was a really full house which meant it felt like we were staying in someone’s lived in house rather than a holiday home.

- Richard, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback, guests comments are extremely important to us which is shown in the positive reviews that we get. We were a little surprised that you didn't mention any of the points you raise when we saw you during your stay, we would have been more than happy to help you. We feel that the images on the website are a true and accurate reflection of the property. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. Property Owner

“The owners lived next door and they were perfect hosts allways nice and helpfull.”

the cottage was great.

- David, June 2021
Paul June 2021

“Harlyn was much larger than we had expected and incredibly light and airy, presumably due to it's location near the top of the hill.”

The garden was beautiful. We were amazed at the number of chairs, in the lounge, the dining area, the sun room, the conservatory, the summer house and the two levels of the garden. All the comforts of home are provided. Mevagissey was only 15 minutes walk away but the hill is very steep and not for the faint hearted! If driving I recommend using the main road down to the harbour but go early as the car parks seem to fill up quickly

- Paul, June 2021
Andrew June 2021

“Lovely accommodation and garden.”

Very clean. Lovely walking area. Beware of the steep incline into the village

- Andrew, June 2021
Daphne October 2020

“Great bungalow, lots of space and faculties, only issue located mid way up steep hill so walking into Mevagissey not for faint hearted.”

Had lovely time and would stay again.

The garden was especially lovely. The owner met us at the property and was very helpful. Would definitely return.

For one the dishwasher was full of dishes and states that you should empty ready for the next people, found the owñer who lives next door wandering in the garden which I thought was unacceptable I know it is his property but this was on a let and he should not have entered the garden

We had a really a good holiday the bungalow and garden were lovely we also met the owner who was friendly and helpful we would go back again

“It was great property for our needs the owner helped me with heavy luggage.”

And there to meet me at the property with key on long difficult journey. Also provided a shower seat for one my elderly relatives. He was brilliant. Defiantly recommend to anyone. Lovely garden to.

- Janet, August 2020
Callum November 2019

“Mevagissey is a lovely little harbour.”

Bit of a steep hill for walkers to get there though especially on the way back, but we managed with a double buggy! The cottage itself is cosy, well kept and has very useful facilities to feel right at home. The electric fire and heated towel rails came in handy for drying our clothes after washing them. All in all a very comfortable visit and a very cosy little cottage to stay in.

- Callum, November 2019
Robert September 2019

“We're seasoned travellers in Cornwall and also veterans of renting holiday cottages, with that experience we would say that Harlyn rates highly in many respects of what the average couple or family would want out of a holiday home for a week or two.”

It is a comfortable house with lots of seating options both inside and in the well cared for garden. The familiar scourge of Cornish seaside villages is narrow access roads and lack of resonable parking next to the holiday home, this is not an issue at Harlyn. The WiFi was reliable and had a decent signal strength. The house owners live very close by and are both friendly and accomodating, e.g. we asked to enter the house early to drop of perishable supplies into the fridge and freezer and this was no problem. The less positive is that the kitchen is relatively small and although the built in refridgerator is adequate it is not big enough to take a full week's supplies, mostly necessarily bought ~7 miles away at St Austell's supermarkets, especially if you want to get lots of cold drinks in there as well. There is a freezer out in the adjacent conservatory and it would improve things if this was a fridge/freezer. We are keen hikers and being away from home for over 2 weeks we needed to use the washing machine which works fine but did not offer a drying option; we had great sunny weather with a breeze so drying outside was not a problem. A damp week could give a family some challenges. Access to the house is via relatively narrow slate steps or less steps and a concrete path, the less fit, elderly and infirm would find these difficult with luggage. Mevagissey's pubs and shops are at least a 10 minute hike away down steep hills whichever of 4 possible pedestrian routes you take, add another 5 minutes for the return trip. Notwithstanding the debatable points on what business and customers feel is value for money, Harlyn is good value, however, Mevagissey has evolved into a "pricey" seaside holiday town (as have many other resorts throughout the UK) and food, and most especially costs for drinks at pubs and restaurants, are high such that what were once very lively and sociable pubs right up to closing time are now relatively quiet after the main food sevice period is over at ~9.00 PM. If you have never been, don't let any of the above put you off, Mevagissey and the coastal walks and sights within 15 miles are not to be missed, just go self catering and buy your food and drink from the supermarkets.

“Lovely cottage with all good quality appliances that worked properly.”

We have no grumbles.

- Roy, April 2019
John March 2019

“The description of the bungalow was entirely accurate.”

It was clean and comfortable and more spacious than expected; the fact that it has a living room and two conservatories meant that there was plenty of room for our party of 5 adults and a small dog.

- John, March 2019
Katie March 2019

“We have now stayed at Harlyn twice.”

It is a great place to stay with a toddler and a dog as it is spacious, quiet, clean with good facilities and a safe, enclosed garden. It is also in a great location for the nearby beaches and Mevagissey centre. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Cornwall.

- Katie, March 2019
Andrew February 2019

“The property was fantastic so clean and warm.”

The garden was so quiet just perfect for our dogs one of which is reactive. The surrounding areas so beutiful

- Andrew, February 2019
Marion February 2019

“A very warm comfortable property.”

Our party consisted of 3 adults, a 2 year old and 2 dogs and so it was ideal for us with the extra room, also in a good position for the local amenities.

- Marion, February 2019
Graham December 2018

“Our First stay at a Sykes cottage in December was fantastic, HARLYN in ...”

Our First stay at a Sykes cottage in December was fantastic, HARLYN in MEVAGISSY was a first class place to spend your Cornish Holiday and I believe that any other holiday cottage supported and supplied by SYKES would be Top of any you could find I have spent many years holidays in Cornwall and my last visit to this fantastic cottage supported by a fantastic and very helpful company SYKES HOLIDAYS WILL SUPPLY AND SUPPORT ME AGAIN MANT TIMES FOR MY CORNWALL THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR MY GREAT HOLIDAY AT THIS COTTAGE EVERY THING YOU WOULD EXPECT TO HAVE WAS GIVEN TOP OF ANY I HAVE PREVIOUSLY HAD

- Graham, December 2018
Andy November 2018

“Fantastic holiday in Mevagissey.”

The property exceeded my expectations. I have a 7 month old and crawling so this was perfect. Immaculately presented and clean. I will be staying again on my next visit. Many thanks for making our holiday even better.

- Andy, November 2018
Elizabeth October 2018

“Harlyn is a beautiful warm and cosy and extremely comfortable cottage.”

Every facility is there and it was very clean. A great garden for relaxing in and an exploring area for the dog. This is a great cottage and will go again.

- Elizabeth, October 2018
Marie September 2018

“Lovely cottage with great garden Owners live 2 doors away and are very welcoming, however no welcome pack or milk etc in cottage on arrival ( something we usually find owners do which is a nice touch but not essential)!”

We would go back there Location is good too

- Marie, September 2018
Valerie September 2018

“I would have stated exceeded expectations however, the biggest downside fo us was the 13 steps or very steep path to the bungalow which was not mentioned on the property brief.”

I travelled with my 93 year old, partially sighted, mother and getting to and from the bungalow was a major issue each day. I really think this should be clearly stated. Other than that the accommodation was great, very comfortable and clean and for more mobile people would be great.

- Valerie, September 2018
Rosemary June 2018

“We instantly felt at home in this lovely bungalow with its fabulous garden.”

The accommodation is huge and worked very well for two couples and two dogs. There was so much room for people to ‘do their own thing’, either in the lounge, sunroom, garden or summerhouse. We had the rear doors open all the time we were at home and the dogs just came and went in and out of the Cornish sunshine as they pleased. Beds were comfy, kitchen had everything you could need, plus lots of comfy seating, books, games etc. Beaches in the area are to die for, especially Crantock Beach. We had a very relaxing week and did not need to drive far to find some lovely places. Can’t recommend enough, thank you

- Rosemary, June 2018
Terence June 2018

“It could have been cleaned better,bedroom wardrobe needed dust wiping off shelves, dust on lampshades, also cobwebs, windows needed cleaning.”

Dinning room table is supposed to seat 5 we where struggling to seat 4 when had company, on the up side the beds were comfortable, and the garden was nice but lacked sun loungers, kitchen was on the small side and lacked equipment We thought it was rather expensive for what we got, in comparison to other cottages we have rented.

- Terence, June 2018

Thank you very much for your feedback. I am really sorry to hear that the cleanliness of the cottage was not what you expected but our cleaners always leave their number in the cottage advising that if you have any issues please do contact them and also we lived next door to this property (you also had our number). We would have appreciate if you could have raised the issue while you were in the property so that we could have done everything to restore our usual standard. Thank you very much for your feedback.

Jacqui May 2018

“We had a wonderful holiday.”

I loved Harlyn - it was very spacious and the garden was the nicest of any holiday cottage I've stayed in. The rooms were very comfortable and clean and I especially liked the conservatory and sun room. We had a wonderful time exploring nearby beaches such as Caerhays, and there was lots more of interest within an easy driving distance too. We liked it so much that I've just booked a week there again for next year and I am very much looking forward to it.

- Jacqui, May 2018
William May 2018

Patricia April 2018

“Absolutely outstanding accommodation, Harlyn was everything we could have wanted and more.”

Mevagissey is a very beautiful fishing town, very friendly, and dogs are welcome in most shops and eating places. Many business owners have water bowls outside for dogs to drink from. We and our dog Snoopy were made to feel extremely welcome both In our accommodation and in Mevagissey and the other areas of Cornwall we visited. We are definitely going back next year.

- Patricia, April 2018
Janet March 2018

“I think people should know that it is a the top of the 1/4 hill, which is hell,of a climb for the fittest of people.”

And what would be nice is that there is a pint of milk waiting for you to make a cuppa after a long journey, we have never stayed anywhere that has not been provided

“The cottage was just lovely and comfortable, especially the beds and pillows.”

This is the first time away on holiday ever that I slept well on the first night, which continued through the rest of the week. Everything that you could wish for was there in the kitchen. The garden was absolutely lovely, well maintained with a lovely summer house and plenty of seating. Actually I don't think I can fault it.

- Shelagh, May 2016
Celia April 2016

“Harlyn was a very comfortable and warm cottage with everything we needed.”

- Celia, April 2016
Carolyn March 2016

“It was lovely to return to a warm, spacious, comfortable cottage and just chill out after a 'hard' day enjoying the nearby tourist attractions and beauty spots.”

Loved being able to follow the sun round in the conservatories and living rooms, and sit reading or chatting. There is so much to do in the Mevagissey area without having to travel far.

- Lynda, April 2015
Jeff March 2015

“The cottage was very well sited to Mevagissey.”

The access was superb and the owner was very welcoming. At the price paid for the week and the high standard of the bungalow, it would, in my opinion be very difficult to find better value for money. Will definitely return to this holiday let. We were extremely pleased, well done.

- Jeff, March 2015

“A very comfortable and spacious place to stay.”

The sun room off the kitchen was great for eating breakfast. A lovely private garden with summer house, swing seat and places to eat and sit. A great place to stay, we will be back.

“The bungalow was fantastic, beautifully presented and spotlessly clean.”

The garden was beautiful and well maintained. Lovely views in a fabulous location. Thank you to the owner who was a lovely man and to the caretaker who made us feel very welcome. Brilliant holiday and we will be back!

“Lovely bungalow and gardens.”

The garden was fully enclosed which was great for our pet dog and Mevagissey was only a 10 walk away.

The property

Situated on the easily accessible side of Mevagissey, this traditional, single-storey house sits in a quiet cul-de-sac, on the edge of the fishing village of Mevagissey.

Light and spacious, and offering three bedrooms, one with an en-suite, this Mevagissey cottage provides a comfortable holiday home for a family looking to stay in this charming area of Cornwall.

The sitting room with dining area is perfect for everyone to gather together, whilst the attached sun room and the separate conservatory both offer wonderful places to relax, perhaps with a book as the sun circles this homely Mevagissey cottage throughout the day.

The picturesque quay is a popular feature of Mevagissey, where you find plenty of boats bobbing along the shore, and streets lined with gift shops, restaurants and bars, open all year round.

For a complete contrast of scenery, within a short drive of this Mevagissey cottage are a number of gardens to explore, including the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the exotic blooms at the Eden Project and the charming woodlands of Caerhays Castle.

Families will love to visit the various attractions in the area from the Shipwreck Centre in romantic Charlestown to the Wheal Martyn china clay museum and the World of Model Railways.

Sandy beaches are plentiful in this part of Cornwall, and so from this Mevagissey cottage there is something for everyone to enjoy, rain or shine.

Note: This property is next to Ref. 2919, together they sleep 7.

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).
