Linton Luxury Holiday Home

Linton is a three-bedroom cottage in a quiet residential part of Mevagissey, sleeping six across three en-suite double rooms each with a king bed. The house faces south-southwest over the valley, with the harbour a walk downhill into the village. Guests rate it 9.8 out of 10 from 52 reviews, with location scored 9.4.

Private secure parking sits beside the house, with a terrace over the valley for coffee or an evening glass of wine. The soundproofed living room has a sofa, and the kitchen includes a dishwasher and washing machine. A work desk and dining area suit longer stays. Tennis and wheelchair access are both recorded for the property.

Pentewan Beach is 1.1 miles from the cottage, with Gorran Haven Beach 2.3 miles beyond it. Mevagissey takes its name from two Irish saints, Meva and Issey, and its harbour dates from the late 1700s when pilchard fishing drove the local economy. St Just Church is 3.1 miles away, and the Eden Project is 9.3 miles. Hosts Caroline and Mike, who grew up in the village, share routes for walking, cycling and kayaking.

Best for dog owners wanting a base within walking distance of Mevagissey harbour without needing a car. Less good for groups wanting sea views directly from the property, since the outlook is over the valley rather than the water.
