“A well-appointed flat in a great location right next to the sea; good pub very close and a comfortable walk into Mevagissey; we would be happy to return.”

- Robert, March 2025
Louis February 2025

“Stunning location and great views, lovely cottage, fully equipped and beautifully presented, including a log burner, very peaceful and relaxing, super comfy king size bed , great sleeps.”

Local pub Rising Sun only 50 yards away, very friendly locals and staff, great ales, the best fish and chips we had for a very long time. Would definitely recommend and be happy to return. Thank you Eva and Glen

- Louis, February 2025

Thanks for your lovely feedback, we are so glad you had a good stay. We love using the log burner to create a cozy nest and snuggle down in winter. We hope you can visit again soon. Very Kind Regards Eva and Glen Property Owner
Mel October 2024

“Perfect setting , great accommodation with lovely touches.”

No need to drive anywhere during short stay, walked both directions. Food at local pub on our last eve really good! We will definitely re book thank you!

- Mel, October 2024

Thanks for such fab feedback. We are so happy to hear you had a good stay. We love parking our car up and not using it for the week when we are at Waves End. Hope you can stay again soon. Very Kind Regards Eva and Glen Hellings Property Owner
Diane October 2024

“Such a beautiful place to stay and re charge your batteries.”

The window seat was the perfect place to sit read watch the waves and the world go by. All the locals that we met were lovely and the pub is a great place to visit very welcoming and a great quiz night on a Tuesday evening. We didnt want to leave but I'm sure we will return.

- Diane, October 2024

Thanks for your very lovely feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Waves End. Glad you got to the regular Tuesday pub quiz at the Rising Sun (£2 each to play). It's so much fun and they have a pizza oven fired up on Tuesdays which is lovely with a glass of something. Hope you can come back soon. Very Kind Regards Eva and Glen Property Owner
Sylvia September 2024

“Waves End cottage is a delightful studio apartment on ground floor level.”

It's situated about 15 metres from the sea with a lovely window seat looking out to the waves. It is well equipped for two people. The kitchen has most facilities, with a washing machine but no dishwasher.There are plenty of cups, glasses, plates and cutlery. There was generally enough hot water but on the final two days the automatic water heater did not provide the usual temperature. The heating was brilliant. Too warm on occasions, and we'd been advised not to fiddle with the timers which are controlled 'remotely'. The area is beautiful with lots of lovely local walks. The village was very friendly and we got a warm welcome in the Rising Sun. October can be a stormy month. We arrived in a huge storm with sea waves coming up to the house! Very exciting. Then 6 perfect autumn days. The owner was concerned enough to telephone and kept in touch during the week. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks.

- Sylvia, September 2024

Dear Sylvia Thank you for your feedback and glad you had a lovely week in our one bedroom apartment. Not sure why the hot water was less hot on two days as it’s on a timer the same each day, but thank you for the heads up we will keep an eye on this. Kind Regards Eva and Glen Property Owner
Margaret September 2024

“Beautiful little cottage, set in an ideal location with stunning views.”

Could not fault anything as it was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our 3 day break. We came home yesterday and within a couple of hours booked for a longer stay next year. A little gem of a place.

- Margaret, September 2024

Thanks Margaret so lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay and can visit again soon. The relaxing magic of the bay has been calling us back for over 30 years (which is kind of impossible as I don’t feel older than 21yrs old) Kind Regards Eva and Glen Property Owner
Morag September 2024

“What a beautiful flat and exactly as described.”

It was comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing week. I loved sitting on the window seat at the end of the day looking out over the bay.

- Morag, September 2024

Thanks Morag, we are so glad you had a great stay. Sitting in the front window or out on the sea wall wrapped in a blanket is my fave place in the whole world. Hope you can visit again soon. Kind Regards Eva & Glen Property Owner
Andrew August 2024

“A fantastic cottage where the location could not be better.”

Everything that you need is provided. It is well presented and in excellent condition and bright and airy, a very comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen. The only points with mentioning is that whilst there is parking at the property the access is very narrow and so only a small car will fit (our mini fitted with only 5mm each side of the walls). The shower is also a little weak and the water was never hot enough. This in no way spoinlt what was a fantastic stay

- Andrew, August 2024

Dear Dr Williams I’m glad you had a fantastic stay. Yes the parking is only for the tiniest cars to get down the side, these historic buildings are a pain. Well done if you managed to park in the back. We do say in our welcome pack this is an issue and large cars need to park in the road next to us where there is plenty of space. The shower isn’t a power shower but the water should be piping hot (it’s an electric shower). I’m wondering if you felt running the water to the sinks were cool? This comes from the tank and does take a bit of patience with about a minute to come through hot. I will get our cottage manager to check both, thank you so much for flagging it. So relieved neither spoilt your stay and very glad you found everything else was lovely. The position we agree is unbeatable. Hope you got a good relax. Very Kind Regards Eva and Glen :) Property Owner
Simon August 2024

“Great cottage in a fabulous location on the beach at Portmellon.”

Beautifully furnished and equipped with everything needed for an enjoyable stay. Bed is really comfortable!

- Simon, August 2024

We are so happy you had a lovely stay. Hope you can visit again soon. Very Kind Regards Eva and Glen :) Property Owner
Rebecca July 2024

“Home now from a very relaxing and enjoyable week at Wavesend, indeed it would be very hard not to relax there.”

The accommodation is just as shown in the photographs. The beach is a very short walk across the road away and the outside relaxing space is to the front of the property with beautiful sea views. A mere 300yards away is a welcoming pub. Lovely local walks and opportunity to spot seals and many places of interest in short travelling distance. It is a lovely place to relax and do very little, which we did, however there are water sport opportunities with hire at the beach shack. There are many places of interest to visit in easy travelling distance and Mevagissey a steady but steep walk up and down hill or a short drive away. Lovely location and comfortable welcoming furnishing when it’s time to head indoors.

- Rebecca, July 2024

Thanks a million, it was so lovely you could come and stay. We hope you can come back soon. Kind Regards Eva and Glen :) Property Owner
Gill June 2024

“This property is in an idyllic location.”

It is in easy reach of many beautiful and interesting places. It’s very quiet and relaxing and has an old world charm. The property was very comfortable and well equipped .We found lots of beautiful walk. Some more challenging than others. We stayed a week but left wanting to stay longer.

- Gill, June 2024

Thanks for the lovely review:) Property Owner
David June 2024

“Absolutely lovely cottage exactly as described and great location.”

Peaceful Portmellon has great walks and sea views and Mevagissey is only a short walk where there are a good selection of pubs and shops. Would recommend the cottage and will definitely be returning.

- David, June 2024

We love it you had such a fab time. Eva and Glen Property Owner
B June 2024

“The cottage at Portmellon was charming, well equipped, homely and tastefully furnished.”

It was spotlessly clean and everything provided for comfort. The views of the sea from the patio stunning. We so enjoyed our stay at Waves End and were very sad to leave.

- B, June 2024

Thanks for your lovely review. Hope you can visit again soon. Eva and Glen Property Owner
Jason May 2024

“We had a wonderful honeymoon at Waves End.”

Stylish and beautifully decorated with quality fittings and individual art throughout, which we found was the work of the owner Eva. A super comfy bed and premium bedding and towels gave the touch of luxury that we loved. It was lovely to find an art box and a note from the owner encouraging guests to try their hand at sketching, painting etc. Portmellon is a lovely quiet location with a real community feel and Waves End is at the centre of this. We particularly liked paying a visit to The Shack which sold essentials and also had a seating area to enjoy a pint.of Rattler, overlooking the bay. We also the cream tea gift that was left for us too.

- Jason, May 2024

Thank you, we loved having honeymooners at Wave’s End and are so happy you had a great stay. Thanks for emailing your sketches they are fantastic and such a beautiful way to remember your time here. I’ve had my paints out this week inspired by you! Hope you can visit again soon. Very Kind Regards Eva and Glen x Property Owner
Julian May 2024

“It was a lovely place to stay and a thoroughly enjoyable time spent.”

The hot water was a little troublesome but we didn't really need it.

- Julian, May 2024

I’m so glad you had a good stay. Sorry for the hot water glitch to the sink. I’m glad the shower was still nice and hot. Hope you can come back soon. Kind Regards Eva and Glen (p.s. do call us if there is ever a problem while staying, we want everything to be just right for guests) Property Owner

“A absolute jewel a great find it was just perfect we are talking about going back , and we will just loved it .”

The cottage was amazing Kim and Rosemary

- Kim, April 2024

Dear Kim and Rosemary, thanks for such a lovely review, we are so glad you had a good time, it’s our favourite place in the world so it is wonderful to hear other people enjoy it too! Hope you get to visit again. Very Kind Regards Eva and Glen Property Owner
Paul March 2024

“The property is immaculately presented and the owners have thought of everything you could possibly need.”

A beautiful view of the very nearby sea and cove can be enjoyed through the living room window what ever the weather. A very relaxing few days !

- Paul, March 2024
Ryan January 2024

“Fantastic little place.”

Enjoyed our stay immensely. Had everything you needed for a perfect getaway for two. Parking was easy as was loading and unloading. Nice king size bed which was super-comfortable. Lots of space to put your things away in the kitchen and bedroom. We used the wood burner each evening which was simple, fun and very cosy. There aren’t many shops around to buy supplies - but we bought things from a supermarket only a few miles away in St Austell. Can’t recommend this place highly enough! We are planning our next trip back..

- Ryan, January 2024

Mr Ryan, we are so happy you had such a lovely stay. We hope you had a good drive home and look forward to you being able to visit again soon. Kind Regards Eva and Glen :) Property Owner
Tim January 2024

“The cottage was as described.”

We could not find any instructions for the use of the oven although most other devices handbooks were available. The appartment above was quite loud( well it sounded like the occupants were walking on floorboards above( there has obviously been no sound proofing. Just to clarify this was just a single person we believe walking to and fro in the apartment above!

- Tim, January 2024

Dear Tim and Lynn Thank you for all your feedback and your lovely email I also received earlier this week. As you know we furnished the cottage fully throughout last October; and I’m glad you found the kitchen so well equipped, it was super helpful you spotted I missed egg cups, these are winging there way to our house manager today. We want our guests to have the most wonderful cosy stay in this 200 year cottage apartment, but we know beautiful old cottages like ours have a few quirks; and as you mentioned we do have a single gentleman living above and you can sometimes hear him moving about. My husband and I stayed at the cottage two weekends ago and could hear a bit of movement but didn’t find it bothered us. I’m really sorry if that detracted from your stay and I will be monitoring the situation. It was great to hear in your email you would like to come and stay again and you enjoyed the welcome Cream Tea we provide. I love that you appreciated the photos of the bay on the bedroom wall. These were kindly given to me by a family that also share the sea front, showing their grandparents and great grandparents and life in the bay about 100yrs ago. They are such a treasure to keep alive the history of the bay in Portmellon. Thanks again for helping us fine tune ‘Wave’s End’ we would love the outstanding position on the sea front and our attention to detail inside to draw guests back regularly. Very Kind Regards Eva & Glen PS I will print the cooker instructions and get them to our house manager today:) Property Owner
Zilpah January 2024

“Superb location right beside the sea with a perfect cosy window seat to read or just enjoy the view the splashing waves (when there's an easterly wind!”

) and watch seals and sea birds. In the evenings we hunkered down with blankets and popped on the wood burner. You do need to bring your own logs/kindling. The property is very comfortable, well equipped and stylishly decorated reflecting it's coastal location. Ideal for swimming and there are plenty of walks and villages to explore right from your front door. There's even an beautiful little art box for you to create some watercolours to remember your stay. Mevagissy is only a short walk away, is still a working harbour; so lots going on, and has some lovely pubs and cafés/restaurants. The owners provided a well thought through welcome pack prior to our arrival including parking information etc which was very helpful.

- Zilpah, January 2024

Thanks for this lovely review. I’m still blown away by your beautiful watercolour’s you did while at Wave’s End, as are the rest of our family who also were super impressed when I showed them your email :) Property Owner
Biraj Jung December 2023

“Amazing place (property & scenery) just as the name says the waves literally touched the property just like living in the beach hut but a fancy one.”

It was like having the sea,beach & waves just to yourself just outside the window few steps from the door. Best place we have ever stayed on all of our holidays.

- Biraj Jung, December 2023

Thank you so much. We are so glad you enjoyed your time at Wave’s End. Thanks for leaving this lovely review:) Property Owner

The property

Wave’s End, an enchanting ground-floor apartment in a 200 year old cottage designed for the perfect romantic retreat on the sea front at Portmellon.

The cottage is just over the hill from the picturesque fishing village of Mevagissey in Cornwall. Boasting only 12 metres from your door onto the beach, captivating sea views, and an ambiance steeped in romance, Wave’s End invites couples to escape and cherish quality time together.

Step into your romantic haven and immerse yourself in the serene atmosphere of this Cornish hideaway.

The living and dining area, adorned with a woodburning stove, sets the stage for relaxing evenings in.

Create delectable meals in the fully-equipped kitchen or savour an intimate dinner for two in the homely setting of the living/dining room; alternatively, enjoy your first glass of fizz in the sunshine, admiring the breath-taking sea views, and planning your upcoming itinerary.

As the day winds down, retire to the bedroom featuring a plush kingsize bed, or indulge in a leisurely soak in the bathroom, complete with a bath and shower over.

Waves End ensures a memorable and rejuvenating holiday, where every moment is crafted for romance. Unlock a world of beauty and adventure just outside your front door.

Step out your front gate straight onto the beach at Portmellon when you can hire a paddle-board or Kayak from the ‘Shack’ in the bay, or just sit on the sea wall to watch the ever changing sea views.

Walk the costal path to the right and in 15 mins you will find yourself at chapel points where there is regular sighting of seals.

Mevagissey village is only a four minute drive from the cottage or a 15 minute walk over the hill, perfect for a meander through the cobbled streets, where you can explore local pubs, eateries, and craft shops.

If you're in the mood, The Rising Sun Inn in Portmellon, offers a convenient option for a refreshing drink, or you can venture into Mevagissey, which provides an abundance of pubs and lots of restaurants to enjoy!

Immerse yourself in the village's history at the harbour museum, and on rainy days, explore the free aquarium.

Venture to St. Austell for a day of discovery, where the nearby Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, and historic Charlestown harbour beckon.

For a change of scenery, take a short ferry ride to Fowey, where you can marvel at the stunning south coast and keep an eye out for dolphins and basking sharks.

For a night of romance, Truro awaits with its stunning Georgian architecture, culinary delights, and cultural experiences at the Hall for Cornwall.
