“The cottage was just perfect, comfortable and well equipped.”

Not too far up the hill to make it an effort to get back. My husband has a painful knee! The views from the cottage were out of this world, We wil be happy to book again in the future. Malcolm and Jenny Husselbee

Elizabeth September 2024

“We very much enjoyed our stay at Polkirt Forge.”

The cottage was very comfortable, and the views of the harbour from the upstairs bedroom and sitting room were excellent. A great place to watch boats coming and going around the harbour, and very pretty looking out at night. The cottage had everything we needed, and was a very relaxing place to be. It was well placed for walking to the range of shops and places to eat in Mevagissey. Nearby steps made it easy to get down to the harbour. We’d be very happy to stay again.

- Elizabeth, September 2024

Thank you for your nice review. You left the cottage immaculate says our housekeeper so thank you for that as well. Do come again Property Owner

Everything was very clean. Very well situated for for all amenities.

Thanks for the feedback and your comments about the shower tray. We’ll certainly take a look as this is the first comment about that. Thanks for your booking. Property Owner

“Spotless and fully equipped with everything you could want.”

Fantastic little extras like coffee machine with pods and smart tv. The cottage was warm on cold mornings and perfectly located for tramping the southwest coast path. Would not hesitate to recommend it.

“Our stay at Polkirk Forge was great!”

The cottage is in a perfect location, we loved Meva and enjoyed coming back to the comfort of The Forge after our days out on the beach at Gorran, walking the coast and exploring. The cottage is very spacious and has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. I would have preferred darker bedroom curtains for those holiday lie ins but it was still a 5 star place to stay for us! We would definitely book to stay again. Many thanks for the extra information provided by Barry to help us on arrival and ensure a smooth start to our holiday.

- Ruth, July 2023
Gail June 2023

“This is an excellent property with great attention to detail paid.”

The furnishings are very comfortable, the kitchen very well equipped and there is WiFi and a smart TV. There are games, books, children's toys, beach toys /mats and even some trekking poles provided. It is in a good location with restaurants, pubs and a few reasonable shops in close walking distance. We had a lovely week here!

- Gail, June 2023

Thank you for the lovely feedback. Glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

“We enjoyed our stay at Polkirt Forge enormously.”

The cottage itself was spotless, comfortable, and well-appointed, while Mevagissey is a lovely little village with shops, pubs, and restaurants all within easy walking distance. We would definitely recommend this to anyone planning a Cornwall getaway.

“Excellent cottage.”

I would definitely book again because I couldn’t fault it in anyway. The owner Barry emailing all the cottage information before arrival was very helpful and a nice touch. I would recommend the cottage to anyone.

Lucille October 2022

“We loved every minute of our stay at Polkirt Forge!”

The property has been fitted out to high specs and the attention to detail was evident and so appreciated. We appreciated the lovely linen, decent knives, crockery, cutlery, rooms, bathrooms and stunning views! A quick walk down stone stairs leads you to a tiny little sandy beach close to a fab little Aquarium, which our twins loved. We all soon got used to the tiny roads and absolutely loved the look and feel of Mevagissey.

- Lucille, October 2022
Adrian September 2022

“A lovely property with a great view and facilities made a very enjoyable holiday in the beautiful surroundings of Mevagissey.”

Phillip July 2022

“A faultless experience all round.”

The cottage is immaculately presented and everything is very well thought through, from the super-helpful info pack to all the bits and bobs in the kitchen, plus easy and seamless communication with Barry & Carol make Polkirt Forge one we can highly recommend without hesitation.

- Phillip, July 2022
Ruth September 2021

“This is a lovley property, it is so well equipped and modern .”

I wouldnt like to take very young children as it is on a busy narrow hill and is quite precarious to walk along. It is very quiet at night . We loved that the lounge is upstairs the view across the harbour is sublime. Mevagissey is a lovely town and near to the Eden project, the lost gardens of heligan and lovely walks. If you book this wonderful cottage make sure you book your restaurants before as everything was booked up for months. Our favorite was Salamander, really lovely food , with just being the two of us we ate out every night . But if you are a family the kitchen is very well equipped. The owners have thought of everything.

- Ruth, September 2021
John July 2021

“We loved staying here.”

The location was perfect - less than a minute from excellent restaurants and the waterfront. Mevagissey was a fantastic base - we liked wandering the harbour, enjoyed the shops and restaurants, took the ferry to Fowey, and walked the coastal path to various beaches. The upstairs of the house in particular was excellent with harbour views and modern furnishings, and the kitchen and bathroom were both well equipped. The welcome pack and support from the owners was brilliant. We would stay again.

- John, July 2021
Anne September 2020

“Fantastic location, not for the faint hearted with the luggage, otherwise excellent”

- Anne, September 2020
Michael August 2020

“A charming cottage just a stone’s throw from the harbour of the lovely village of Mevagissey.”

Very comfortable and well equipped, it suited our needs perfectly. The only downside was lack of nearby parking.

- Michael, August 2020
L July 2020

“Polkirt Forge is located just next to the harbour - there are steps down to it and a tiny beach you can access at low tide which our children adored.”

Views of the harbour and out to sea are glorious. We loved being right in the village as you are right on top of everything. The road outside is very narrow but the owners make it easy by giving you a permit to the car park 5 mins walk away, which is very safe. We had a lot of stuff to unload, so had to brave the road which was interesting!! If you don’t have too much, best to walk through the village. The info given by the owners was comprehensive and helpful, apart from recycling which we couldn’t find. There is everything in the house that you would need, from cooking utensils to beach stuff and even though some ornaments have been taken out recently due to COVID, the house still feels homely and welcoming. The one thing I would say is that the downstairs feels a little damp, but there is a washer drier to use if necessary. There is also a washing line in the small courtyard. This is a lovely place to come for a holiday. We really didn’t want to leave!
