About Mevagissey

Your corner of Cornwall.

With its quaint charm and pretty backstreets, Mevagissey is a wonderful location for you to book your Cornish holiday cottage. Mevagissey is a cute and quintessential Cornish fishing village on the south coast of Cornwall, with a lot to offer. Holidaymakers like to enjoy traditional fish and chips on the harbourside, whilst watching the boats bob up and down on the water. Crabbing is also a popular activity for children and big kids too, on the harbour walls.

Falling on the trail of the south-west coast path, it is an ideal place for walkers, being only a short stroll out of the village on either side to join the path and take in some spectacular views along the coastline. In summer months, sailing boats can often be spotted cruising along on the water.

In their own words

Compass Point is an amazing house - we had a great week there.
Lisa - August 2026
The views were breathtaking, with stunning costal scenery that we never tired of. The house itself is immaculate and thoughtfully styled, comfortable and luxurious throughout. Every detail has been considered and we adored (for the second time) our relaxing and peaceful week at Compass Point.
Stuart Ponting - June 2026
The information provided before and on arrival was excellent and the house was spotless and well maintained. We would certainly recommend a stay at Compass Point.
Tony, Feb 25
We had the pleasure of staying at Compass Point for a few days between Christmas and New Year and what a wonderful time we had. The house was warm, comfortable and very inviting. It had everything you could wish for. The views of the sea were stunning.
Nicola - Jan 25
Compass point was incredibly well-equipped, making our stay so comfortable. It was such a luxury to be just a short 5-minute walk to Portmellon for a morning dip. The views were breathtaking but what really stood out was the beautiful interior design. The well-decorated space made everything feel so welcoming. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!
Harriette & Digby - Mar 2025
The holiday was great and such an amazing place
