Paul October 2024

“Nice and cosy place, hot tub was good, complementary items were good, host was very welcoming, really well equipped,”

- Paul, October 2024
Darren October 2024

“A second lovely stay at Respryn.”

Snug and well equipped. The hot tub is great for easing the muscles after long walks or for stargazing at night. The location of the accommodation is excellent for walking to the village (a pint or two in the village makes the climb back up the hill much easier!). Thanks to Gareth, the perfect host too - there if you need him, unobtrusive when you don't!

- Darren, October 2024

Our second time staying and it did not disappoint us the it has everything you could possibly want and the welcome hamper was amazing everything was super clean and the new hot tub was brilliant as was the new washer/dryer Gareth is the perfect host and more than happy to help with anything during your stay I would recommend to anyone wanting the very best staycation

John July 2024

“Nice welcome basket on arrival containing.”

Packet of biscuits, a cream tea for two, a decent bottle of wine. Could do with a dishwasher and not a washing machine in the kitchen. The owner leaves you alone which is good and the hot tub is great. Loads of wildlife in the area and overlooking fields. Very relaxing. Around 5 minute walk into town and a pub called the ship. Great atmosphere and food. Very quiet area. People that live in Mevagissey are very welcoming. Fully recommended.

- John, July 2024
Melanie June 2024

“Lovely cosy little flat with everything you need and more.”

Gareth was very helpful and friendly. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise. Hot tub was great. The weather was kind to us so we had a great week. Mevagissey itself is lovely and there are plenty of shops and places to eat. The hill to and from the flat was a challenge! Fab holiday.

- Melanie, June 2024
Lynn June 2024

“Everything spotless, well equipped and a lovely welcome pack provided.”

Very quiet but only 10 minute walk to the centre of Mevagissey and beach. Owner friendly and helpful but not intrusive.

- Lynn, June 2024
Sharon May 2024

“This property is a little gem.”

The property was so comfortable the garden patio and hot tub was an added bonus. It was so lovely to comeback and sit out in the garden in the warm weather. The welcome pack was lovely and so good that there was milk put in the fridge. We had such a great holiday here and it was so peaceful and quiet.

- Sharon, May 2024
Barry April 2024

“It was a good stay, but a bit short of space in the indoor sitting / dining area.”

Not a problem in warm weather when you can enjoy the private garden, but a bit confining on wet or cold days. The outdor spa tub was excellent for star-gazing on clear evenings!

- Barry, April 2024
John April 2024

“Lovely cottage with all amenities.”

Hot Tub was very good, clean and serviced regularly. Central location for tourist visits and nice village with shops, restaurants and pubs. Host was very attentive and helpful. We will be back.

- John, April 2024
Paul March 2024

“Couldn't be be better for a Mevagissy stay.”

Just a short walk up a fairly steep hill from the town centre. Very clean place, hot tub immaculate and such a welcome pack from the owner. It is quite small but enough for any couple and very well equipped with every kitchen requirement you would need.

- Paul, March 2024
David March 2024

“Beautiful place to stay.”

The standard of cleanliness was outstanding. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. The hot tub was the cherry on the cake. All in all a great stay unfortunately the weather was typical good old British weather but it didn't stop us.

- David, March 2024
John October 2023

“There is a lot of damp in the property behind the fridge freezer and on the back of the curtains in the lounge.”

It is really tiny. Smaller than expected. TV way too close to watch in comfort. Heating controlled by next door owners. Not able to adjust it yourself at all. However did give us a lovely hamper on arrival with tea coffee etc. nice touch. Hard to find as on side of owners property tucked away. We were outside and didn’t even know it was there. Needs better signage. On a huge hill. Not very accessible in a larger vehicle. But not owners fault that!

- John, October 2023

We are sorry you did not find our accommodation up to our usual high standards. The heating is controlled on a time clock as it seems wasteful to have it on continuously when someone is out but when you mentioned we turned it on straight away and said you could have it on whenever. Most people say it is a lovely cosy place but with a huge storm approaching it was understandable why you left early we hope you enjoyed your bottle of bubbly for your honeymoon and that you enjoyed better weather at home Best wishes Judith and Gareth Enjoy your married life together xx Property Owner
Ann September 2023

“Lovely accommodation, very clean and comfortable.”

Beautiful towels and bedding. Very comfy bed. Great bonus having the hot tub and also Sky a TV. It was a nice touch,receiving the welcome hamper/treats.

- Ann, September 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely comments and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. You did get around the area and visited many places in the week you were here. Hope to see you again one day. Take care Judith and Gareth xx Property Owner
Gary August 2023

“Great location clean, great hosts perhaps a bit smaller than we thought but didn't effect our stay or holiday.”

Will return in future.

- Gary, August 2023

Thanks for your super comments and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. As you commented to us Respryn is indeed quite central to most places in Cornwall and hope you enjoyed exploring. Hope to see you again in the future Best wishes to you both Judith and Gareth xx Property Owner
Adrian July 2023

“We had an amazing stay.”

We arrived a little early but Gareth welcomed us, vacuum cleaner in hand and immediately gave us some great tips about the local area. We were able to leave our bags before heading off into the village in search of lunch. Upon our return, there was a fantastic welcome hamper containing all kinds of essentials and a couple of extra surprises in the fridge (I won't spoil it for future guests). This was totally unexpected and a lovely start to our holiday. The property itself has everything you need, everything! Although it's compact, the only room that is actually small is the living room area. Kitchen, bedroom and bathroom are perfectly sized. The hot tub was excellent and clean, very private too. The garden and the outlook from it are beautiful, we could see a bird of prey visiting an adjacent field almost every morning whilst we had our coffee. Our calves are still burning from the walk in and out of the village, at 10 mins sauntering pace it was ideal for us and helped burn off a few calories after dining at several of the excellent local bars and restaurants. The bed was comfy, the towels all super soft and the bath (massive) & shower were excellent. There's not much more I can add other than Gareth and Judith were both wonderful hosts and made it clear to 'give them a knock' if there was anything we needed, there wasn't as they seem to have thought of everything already! absolutely lovely hosts. We will be back and are already looking forward to another stay. Thank you so very much. Ady & Vix xxx.

- Adrian, July 2023

Thank you for your super comments and we are delighted you enjoyed your holiday. We hope you enjoy your trip to Australia next year but are disappointed we won’t see you. It is great news you have already booked Feast Week for 2025 and very much look forward to seeing you then. Best wishes and take care Love Judith and Gareth xxx Property Owner
Anita July 2023

“Lovely little compact apartment, very comfortable with everything you could possibly need, friendly hosts.”

The extras were fab, hot tub, books, jigsaws, salt & pepper, cooking oil, hand wash, washing powder welcome pack is a delightful surprise, close to shops and pubs though it’s a steep walk back!

- Anita, July 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely comments and am glad you enjoyed your stay. We like to give a few extras to add to your enjoyment and tell everyone to Knock on our door should you want anything at all. Best wishes Judith and Gareth x Property Owner
Barry June 2023

“Lovely cottage, great views & friendly owners made a really enjoyable weeks break.”

- Barry, June 2023

Thank you for your lovely comments and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope you enjoyed some of our ‘Feast Week’ highlights. All the best Judith and Gareth x Property Owner
Wendy May 2023

“Excellent accommodation.”

Hot tub added bonus. Friendly welcoming hosts. Would definitely recommend.

- Wendy, May 2023

Thanks for your lovely comments and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again one day Best wishes Judith and Gareth xx Property Owner
Peter May 2023

“Very nice welcome on arrival , welcome pack lovely.”

The main problem we found was the location of the property being at the top of a steep hill. The gradient of the hill was not suitable for people of our age group who may have walking difficulties. Sykes cottages should inform clients of the steep hill. We were not told at all.

- Peter, May 2023

Thank you for your kind comments and appreciate the hill may be rather steep for some people to negotiate Sykes should have pointed this out when you booked. Best wishes Gareth and Judith x The web site does say however that Respryn is situated at the top of a hill that rises steeply from the harbour Property Owner
David April 2023

“Although rather compact, very well equipped and ideally situated, with very friendly hosts.”

Probably best to avoid approaching via the town and come in from the back, as the town can be a nightmare! The jacuzzi is of course, the icing on the cake.

- David, April 2023

Thank you for your kind comments and am glad you enjoyed your stay with us. The hot tub was a new replacement and is proving to be quite popular with our guests. Best wishes Judith and Gareth xx Property Owner
Diana April 2023

“Amazing ! So lovely .”

We definitely would love to return x we felt so spoiled by the lovely hamper and fluffy white towels and all the extras to ensure we had everything we could possibly want. The hot tub was always ready to jump into .

- Diana, April 2023

Thank you for posting such a lovely review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again in the future Best wishes Gareth and Judith x Property Owner
David April 2023

“Lovely property , in an ideal location , just a short walk into the town .”

The hosts were lovely and very helpful. The hot tub was a great addition.

- David, April 2023

Thank you for your super comments. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and exploration of Cornwalls attractions. Hope to see you again one day. Best wishes Gareth and Judith x Property Owner

Valerie October 2022

“Respryn was a small cosy place to stay perfect location to explore Cornwall.”

The accommodation was clean and well equipped. In places it did show signs of damp and an obvious problem was noticeable in the bedroom. This however did not effect our enjoyment of the property. The hot tub was great to come home too after a day exploring.

- Valerie, October 2022

Thank you for your kind comments and am glad you enjoyed your stay. We are closing this week and will be addressing any problems so that the property will be restored to our usual high standards. With best wishes Gareth and Judith xx Upon investigation a small leak was found in a pipe above the bedroom which has now been fixed. Property Owner

Gareth and Judith are lovely and welcoming. Perfect location for exploring Cornwall and Mevagissey was a dream. Recommend the Ship and the Fountains Inn but book a table as often very busy. Could not ask for more for a holiday. Loved it Jon & Tracey

Because of mobility problems I couldn't go, they were amazing , they even said "If you can make it, even for a couple of days, absolutely beautiful, kind people, if I didn't have mobility issues, we would have been there, beautiful place, beautiful hosts, I'm just sorry I couldn't go, anyone staying with them would be happy, and lucky xx

“We had a lovely holiday in Megavissey and the holiday let was very clean, comfortable and well equipped.”

Ian March 2022

“Compact and cosy annex, quiet and private.”

The owner lives in the attached main bungalow providing a warm welcome. Absolutely everything is provided and even had a lovely welcome box of goodies. The village has very narrow streets not designed for cars and difficult for wheelchairs. Most shops do not have level access but lovely gardens and places of interest to visit. The lost gardens do a wicked Sunday lunch. A very big thank you for making our stay so special.

- Ian, March 2022

Thank you for your lovely comments and am glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope you can visit again one day. Best wishes for the future. Judith and Gareth xx Property Owner
Nicola March 2022

“Great location.”

We had a fantastic holiday, and made the most of being local to Mevagissey, Lost Gardens, St Austell, Charlestown and the Eden Project. We went out to St Michael’s Mount, Mousehole, Tintagel and Port Isaac too. Then we can home to a lovely, comfortable apartment with everything we needed. All facilities were thought of and the attention to detail was great. Huge thank you for a lovely stay.

- Nicola, March 2022

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and managed to get out and about. You certainly took advantage of our central location. Hope to see you again in the future. Best wishes Judith and Gareth xx Property Owner

Kristy September 2021

“This was our long awaited honeymoon and we thoroughly enjoyed our week.”

The welcome hamper was a lovely surprise and everything we needed was supplied. Our home for the week was clean and very welcoming and the hot tub was very much used after long days of exploring. We recommend visiting The Cellar if you fancy a relaxing drink, the staff there were very friendly.

- Kristy, September 2021

We loved the hot tub and the private garden.

- Judith, July 2021
Ruth April 2021

“The cottage was lovely as were the hosts.”

There was everything you could possibly need. Plenty of hot water and heating.Sheets and towels provided,washer dryer and fridge freezer which means that you dont have to pack loads of clothes, and you can shop for a week and not have to hit the shops again if you don't want to. The hot tub was wonderful after a long day walking the coastal paths. Will definitely be back.

- Ruth, April 2021
Christopher April 2021

“The accommodation whilst compact had everything we could wish for.”

The annexe was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. The bedroom and bathroom were of really generous preportions. Our hosts were really warm & welcoming, even providing a welcome basket with wine & cream tea etc. With the addition of a hot tub outside it was just perfect.

- Christopher, April 2021
Tracey October 2020

Peter September 2020

“Respryn was clean, tidy, warm, very comfortable and well equipped throughout.”

It has a lovely little garden with hot tub which we made the most of. The owners Gareth and Judith were very welcoming and Instantly made us feel Very much at home. Gareth even gave us a lift to the local restaurant on our wedding anniversary although he and Judith had other arrangements of their own. We would definitely recommend Respryn to family and friends and look forward to returning some time in the future.

- Peter, September 2020
Robert September 2020

A major, major plus! The hot tub was excellent Owners were very helpful, accommodating and offered some good suggestions for visiting places, locally. Would definitely recommend as long as we can get another week there.

- Robert, September 2020
Caroline September 2020

“Lovely place to stay.”

Hosts were very friendly and helpful. The hot tub was wonderful to relax in. The welcome pack was a sweet surprise. If you do not mind walking up a steep hill,I would highly recommend. Mevagissey is beautiful. So much too see and do in the surrounding area.

- Caroline, September 2020
Sharon August 2020

“This was the first time we used Sykes cottages and was impressed with the communication we received right up to our holiday explaining the next steps, information of the area and reminders.”

The annex was lovely the equipment and utensils was of a high standard and the hosts were thoughtful, helpful and quiet neighbours. The living room area is very compact but the bedroom kitchen and bathroom are of a good size. The outside area and views are lovely as is the large sized hot tub. The annex is situated at the top of a hill therefore mobility should be considered. Mevagissey is a lovely quaint area and the Respryn is a great base to explore from. We would recommend the Respryn and would definitely return

- Sharon, August 2020
Lorna August 2020

“Fabulous holiday, would happily recommend this place to anyone.”

- Lorna, August 2020

- Susan, July 2020
Derek July 2020

“The accommodation whilst small has everything you need to enjoy your stay in Mevagissey, very well equipped and to a high standard, the addition of your own personal hot tub is a welcome bonus, another bonus is being able to park easily, the proprietors could not be more helpful and accomadating nothing is too much trouble.”

Highly recommended.

- Derek, July 2020
Neil March 2020

“The welcoming pack was unbelievable.”

Much appreciated. The cottage was neat, clean, tidy, and well presented, a credit to the owners, who were a very friendly couple. Would be more than happy to return for a further holiday. Would recommend for people wanting to visit Mevagissey, and surrounds.

Mr &mrs jones a wonderful couple was a lovely and very thoughtful surprize to get the welcome hamper and they have thought of things that most places don't ever think of they could not do enough for you would have know trouble in telling family and friends to come we were so impressed

- Philip, August 2019
Graeme August 2019

“Initial reaction was that the cottage was way too small for all our stuff however there was more than enough storage space for everything.”

The cottage is of an extremely high standard topped off with a fabulous hot tub and extremely good hosts. Our arrival and stay was enhanced with a very thoughtful welcome basket of Cornwalls delicacies.

- Graeme, August 2019
Andy July 2019

The owners was amazing.Everything thought of including a welcoming pack which included scones with clotted cream and jam also included tea coffee and a bottle of wine.The hot tub was lovely which we used everyday Definitely recommend .

- Andy, July 2019
Martin June 2019

“There was a lovely welcome pack on our arrival which we really appreciated.”

The annex although small is perfect, it has all you need. And all the extra bits, soap, kitchen utensils etc etc made it home from home. And if course the hot tub just made it very special after a day exploring and reminiscing in Cornwall. Was perfect.

- Martin, June 2019
Colin May 2019

“There was everything, and more, that you could possibly need in this beautifully presented holiday home.”

It was very clean and tidy and the furnishings were lovely. The jacuzzi was private and very well maintained and clean - a lovely way to spend an evening under the stars. We used it every day. The owners live next door but apart from a welcome as we arrived they left us to enjoy our stay without interference. The hamper full of delicious food and drinks was a fantastic surprise. It is a longish drive down a narrow lane to get there but local drivers seemed quite considerate. The walk down to Mevagissey was steep but the views are amazing. Well worth it. We would highly recommend a stay at this holiday home.

- Colin, May 2019
Anthony May 2019

“Hosts were lovely and friendly, welcoming and happy to give information , not intrusive but let it be known they were three if we needed them.”

Richard April 2019

“The accommodation was lovely and clean and the owners very nice.”

The hot tub was not working, however we were able to use the owner’s hot tub as we pleased. Although, this was fine the hot tub was not as private as the one that we were supposed to have used. However, we appreciate that breakdown occur and are unavoidable Kind Regards Richard Gannon

- Richard, April 2019
Sharon March 2019

“A thoroughly enjoyable week - great location for exploring beautiful south Cornwall.”

Compact, cosy and comfortable accommodation - perfect for two. Generously equipped with several additional touches (including lovely welcome pack) together with helpful but unobtrusive hosts - Cornish hospitality at it's finest. Highly recommended!

- Sharon, March 2019
John March 2019

“A very cosy small flat/annexe which was very comfortable for a couple.”

The facilities were good and the hot tub, after a days walking on the coast path, was divine.

- John, March 2019
Rob February 2019

“It was a lovely cosy annex to stay in for the week .”

Facilities were perfect and the couple who own the property were lovely many exciting site to visit in the area the locals were friendly even down to the little touches for my wife’s 40th birthday surprise they catered for to make it even more special. Thank you

- Rob, February 2019
Stephen September 2018

“Fantastic couple who are there if you need them, without being intrusive.”

Fantastic welcome pack, everything you could need was provided and hot tub was incredible.

- Stephen, September 2018
Andrew September 2018

“The cottage was really good, so quiet and really well equipped.”

The hot tub was a real bonus. The owners live next door and are really helpful if required but in no way intrusive so you feel like you are there on your own. Hot tub is quite private and not overlooked. Kitchen easy to use, great big fridge freezer, oven is excellent and all the bits you need to cook self catering all week. Location is superb, right on the edge of the countryside, walk downhill to Mega is about 7 minutes, but longer on the way back as its pretty fierce the hill... By the end of the week we were getting fitter!!! Towels for bathing and separate for hot tub provided and really good quality, as is the basic toiletries/cleaning products so no need to bring any. Just take yourselves and relax!

- Andrew, September 2018
Lorna September 2018

“We had a wonderful week in Mevagissey.”

The flat was cosy and contained everything we could need. Gareth and Judith were very welcoming. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise, fresh scones upon arrival, just what we needed after a long drive. The hot tub was a welcome reward after walking up the hill each day. We hope to return again soon.

- Lorna, September 2018

Claire April 2018

“I downloaded the Sykes App onto my phone.”

When we were trying to find the property the map link on the App was incorrect. It takes you up the wrong hill out of Mevagissey. Luckily the owners included detailed information on finding the property. We informed the owners that your website information was incorrect. Please correct it.

The property

With a private Jacuzzi hot tub to relax in after a day at the beach, Respryn offers the perfect retreat for couples at any time of the year.

Situated on a hill that rises steeply from the quaint harbour, Respryn lies away from the bustle of the village yet is within convenient walking distance of half a mile.

Explore the narrow streets and winding alleyways of Mevagissey to get a feel for everyday life in this working fishing village.

Clustered with pretty cottages, curiosity shops, old inns and restaurants they lead to a charismatic quayside and harbour where colourful fishing vessels come and go with the tide. In the summer months mackerel fishing trips leave from the quay as well as ferries across the bay to the beautiful waterfront town of Fowey.

Beach lovers are well catered for with sandy beaches at Polstreath just outside the village and Pentewan, just over two miles by car or less on the coast path whilst the beaches of Gorran Haven and Caerhayes are also within a short drive.

A public footpath close to Respryn leads to the picturesque cove of Portmellon which also boasts a restaurant and pub.

The Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project with its inspirational biospheres of tropical and temperate plants are both within a fifteen minute drive.

A detached bungalow which has been split and cleverly adapted to provide self contained accommodation for two, Respryn is practical in every respect.

The open plan living area is cleverly arranged to maximise all available space incorporating a well fitted kitchen and a small sitting area which overlooks a very attractive patio garden offering a jacuzzi hot tub for exclusive use by guests of Respryn.

A comfortable bedroom and a lavish bathroom complete the picture.

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.
