Lived up to all expectations

Winnie's View is exactly as shown in the photos - a warm, comfortable home from home. It was a perfect base for our week in Cornwall - allowing us to strike out to all our preferred sites. The house is perfectly equipped for self catering and spotlessly clean. Although situated quite high above the harbour the walk down and back was easy enough - we're fit seniors - and the view was lovely. Everything worked well and Elsa has provided excellent information - both about the house and also the local area. Even though she lives far away, Elsa was always super quick to respond to any emailed enquiry. We would highly recommend Winnie's View to friends and family. Access was by key safe and completely straightforward. Our security deposit was returned very promptly.

Had a wonderful stay at Winnie’s view. Great location for accessing the harbour area and wonderful views. Good comfy facilities in the house, and the extra fridge in the garage was needed ! nice wee garden for dogs As noted on the listing the house and the location is not suitable for everyone due to the steepness but we loved the climb up and down to the harbour. Parking is limited but fine for one car. We will definitely use this place again, thanks

Lots of space, lovely views

This is a great place for a family holiday stay. It felt surprisingly spacious, with lots of areas to spread out in to. The views were stunning. We were lucky enough to see dolphins one morning in tbe bay from the bedroom window. The kitchen was well equipped.

Wundervoll!!!

Wir haben eine Woche mit vier Personen in Winnies View verbracht. Die Lage des Hauses mit dem unglaublichen Ausblick auf den Hafen und das Meer ist einfach großartig. In 5 min ist man am schönen Strand oder am Hafen. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet und hat einen sehr gepflegten Garten. Es ist herrlich einfach auf der Terasse zu sitzen und den Ausblick zu genießen. Wir würden gerne wiederkommen.

Lovely cottage

Winnie's View is a lovely cottage with stunning sea views. It is arranged over different levels and everything you could need is provided. We had a brilliant holiday, despite the weather not being too good, and enjoyed the walks into Mevagissey, which is so sheltered that the weather was noticeably warmer, once we got to the harbour. The walk back is steep, but there are plenty of benches and viewpoints along the way. Our little dog enjoyed the nearby field and walks too.

Another wonderful stay!

We first visited Winnie's View back in 2020 and were very impressed with the house then. We had booked to revisit in 2021 but due to a family emergency that had to be cancelled. We came back in May 2023 and were even more impressed with house. A new very stylish bathroom has been added. The house has good sized bedrooms, is spotlessly clean and well situated overlooking Mevagissey Harbour with close access to the coastal path and walks down to the harbour. Mevagissey is a favourite place to visit for us and Winnie's View makes it even better. We have no hesitation in recommending Winnie's View. Our dog enjoyed the house and garden as well as the local green just outside for an early morning run. We hope to be back soon. Thanks for another memorable stay.

Sehr schönes Haus über dem Hafen

Wir haben zu dritt eine Woche im Oktober in dem Haus verbracht. Das Haus ist gemütlich und sehr vollständig ausgestattet. Es ist alles da was man braucht. Platz ist mehr als genug vorhanden. Auch mit 6 Personen kann man hier Urlaub machen. Aus allen Zimmern hat man einen phantastischen Blick über den Hafen und die Küste. Nur wenige Meter entfernt verläuft der Coast Path. Mevagissey ist hübsches Städtchen und ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen in der Umgebung. Kontakt mit der Vermieterin hatten wir problemlos per Mail. Alles in Allem sehr zu empfehlen.

Wonderful property walking distance from Mevagissey harbour and all the lovely restaurants and pubs.

We loved it so much we will be booking again for next year. Such great views and only a 5 minute stroll to the harbour and restaurants and pubs. Great base to explore the area with so many beauty spots within a short drive. We found two wonderful beaches a short distance away where our dog could play off the lead in the middle of summer. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Cornwall

We loved our stay in Winneys View, great views from the home across the bay. Handy welcome pack on arrival. Very handy location for walking into Megavissey, save some energy for the walk back up the steps though and use the benches for rest stop and take in the views. Great week away x

Great location and excellent property.

We rally enjoyed our stay at this property. Communication with the owners was always very clear and the property has everything you could need for an easy and relaxing stay. The view from the house is much better than any photograph can show. We even saw a sturgeon moon rising from the horizon in the east and wonderful sunsets over Mevagissey. The whole place was very clean upon arrival and we used all of the equipment with no problem. Wifi signal was very good and the area was very quiet during night and day. I can't imagine staying anywhere else when we visit Mevagissey again.

Everything we wanted it to be and more.

Play park and large grassy area good for dog run a few yards walk from the house with footpath down to the harbour one way and to a beach the other. House well and thoughtfully equipped. Lots of good places to eat in Mevagissey. Choice of boat trips from the harbour where there was a choir, Morris dancers etc in the evening. St Mawes, Fowey, Eden project all nearby.

Hidden gem

Lovely property, fabulous views. Everything we needed. 5 minutes walk down the coast path (with steps) to the centre of Mevagissey; far more challenging walk back up, but I made it every day! We really enjoyed our stay and struck lucky with the weather, managing to sit out on the balcony most days.

Wonderful Winnie’s View

This is our 4th stay at this lovely property, and it is the first time we brought family members with us. Thanks to Elsa, the property owner, there was a new shower and deck added which accommodated the extra people. Just off the coastal path and a short 10-minute walk to the village centre and harbour, the location of the property is ideal! We enjoyed a week of Cornwall expedition from this amazing home base, and we will look forward to being here again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Elsa Mckenzie

This house belonged to Winnie, my mother in law, she had wonderful holidays here, visiting relatives, swimming from local beaches and she always welcomed family and friends. We have been holidaying in Mevagissey for a long time. Alastair is a civil engineer who visited family in the area as a child, Elsa teaches part time. Our 4 grown up children continue to visit the house with their children and partners. Since the early days we have continued to update and improve Winnie's View into a lovely comfortable home from home for our visitors. Our recent projects include the addition of a balcony and installation of a shower on the ground floor as part of a refurbishment of the utility room.

Why they chose this property

Our children at all ages have always been very fond of Mevagissey and have many happy memories of their holidays there. Now they are nearly all grown up and some have children of their own and they still love to visit with us or with their friends.
The south Cornish coast is just stunning, we are now endeavouring to walk the coast path (in chunks). The beaches are beautiful surrounded by amazing landscapes. Winnie's View can be used as a base for exploration, visits to many attractions, or as a comfortable place to return to after a long day at the beach. The house is comfortable, well equipped and practical with space for people, their kit and parking for 2 cars. It's a short walk down to the village for pubs, shops and a walk round the harbour. Fishing is still taking place in Mevagissey as you will see by the number of fishing boats in the harbour. Local fish is very fresh and can be bought from the kiosk on the inner harbour. The views from the house never cease to amaze, winter or summer.

What makes this property unique

The amazing view and the changing light on the sea is a tonic for our stress levels!
