About this property
Perched in the picturesque village of Mevagissey in Cornwall, just paces away from a beautiful Harbor, lies this stylish first-floor apartment, The Old Bark House No 3. Enjoying a central location, this lovely dwelling is situated near a wealth of attractions and amenities to keep you entertained throughout your self-catered stay. Bring along your family and friends and park at the close-by car park, kindly paid for by the owner and soak in the salty sea-air as you discover the property. Climb a flight of stairs to reach Flat 3, step inside to find an entrance hallway to remove your shoes and make your way through the well-presented home. The sitting room is flooded in natural light from the patio doors, unwind on the plush sofa as you flicker through the TV or enjoy a good book to appreciate the quaint setting. Throw open the patio doors, where a large decking area offers alfresco dining on the furniture and delightful views of the pretty village. Step back inside and venture to the white-washed kitchen, well-equipped with all the necessities for your self-catering holiday, make use of the electric oven and hob and there is a washing machine to help freshen up your wardrobe. Tuck into delicious meals in the light grey dining room, settle down at the rustic table and chat about the adventures of the day at the Cornish coast. As the evening draws to a close, indulge in a leisurely soak in the corner bath and there is an overhead shower to rinse away under. Choose between three charming bedrooms, all with a TV for a movie night under the covers; explore two doubles and a twin bedroom with matching furniture to house your possessions. In the morning, relish the fresh air from the decking with a steaming cup of coffee as you ponder the excitement of the day ahead. A short 15 minute stroll will lead you to Polstreath Beach, dip your feet in the clear waters and stroll along the stunning coast with both sand and shingle to enjoy. Spend an afternoon at Mevagissey Aquarium to get up close to fascinating marine life and there is The Lost Gardens Heligan for a romantic walk around this 19th-century haven. Jump in the car and visit the bustling market town of Saint Austell to have a kick around the unique Cornwall Football Golf, immerse yourself in the enchanting Shipwreck Treasure Museum and rummage around quirky gift shops to remember your holiday by. Be sure to explore the renowned Eden Project to relish the indoor rainforest with cascading waterfalls and amazing architecture. For a blissful escape to the Cornish coast, choose The Old Bark House No 3.
With meandering cobblestone alleys and a lovely port with boats, this is the ideal Cornish fishing community. Beautiful hikes go both ways along the coast, with sandy beaches, steep cliffs, and hidden coves to discover. The village boasts a good selection of pubs and eateries, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are just up the road. Between Easter and September, a daily ferry travels from Mevagissey to Fowey.

Restaurant below very loud and apartment unsuitable for young children due to low opening windows and blinds

The location for mevagissey is perfect and we'd have no hesitation in recommending the old bark house unless you or anyone in your party goes to bed before 11pm as we found the noise from the restaurant below quite intrusive and a couple of times went beyond 11pm. Even sitting in the lounge before going out for the evening the sounds of the restaurant were above the TV.

I would definitely stay again. There were some lovely touches and welcome pack clearly showed a lot of thought.
