Stayed here on a number of occasions over the years with friends and family - and we absolutely love it. The property itself is spacious. comfortable and has great views over the harbour. It is a 2 minute walk from the centre of the village with all of its amenities, pubs & restaurants. Can thoroughly recommend it & I’m looking forward to going back!

The freezer was out of order and spilling water on the floor.. This resulted in the fridge not cooling properly and drinks without ice. The property is good but needs a good cleaning and a bit of organizing. The place, especially the outside areas, are dirty and un-kept. If we knew there wasn't a working fridge/freezer, we wouldn't have stayed there. But since the advance payment is non-refundable, the Client is basically defenseless. There is also no space to pack food or drinks and the kitchen specifically totally disorganized. Instructions about parking for off-loading is not clear resulting in us having to walk with our luggage for a long distance. We did not manage to work out how the front door lock works and the key-safe is also not functioning properly, unless one knows a secret or two?

Glanville House a completely brilliant property.. A landmark in Mevagisey. It's on all the historic photographs and drawings, on the harbour side. We booked it for my mum-in-law's 85th birthday so it was very important to have a lovely place for her. And Glanville House is very special indeed. We have been to Mevagissey before but this time was incredibly special because of the property location and quality. The terrace is such a great place to watch the life of the fishing village. The kitchen and dining area were immaculate in terms of decor and equipment. The sitting rooms were beautifully furnished and comfortable. All four bedrooms were lovely places to settle into. My mum in law felt it was a holiday of a lifetime. I would recommend it - and the staff who look after it - wholeheartedly. I wish it was my house. I would never leave it.

The location is absolutely fantastic - the ‘cottage’ is more like a villa and was ideal for my 40th birthday celebrations with my family.. The well-equipped kitchen-diner is the heart of the house and due to the good weather we had no need to use the large lounge area, we spent the majority of the daylight hours on the terrace. There are 4 large double bedrooms that easily accommodate 8 guests. The only observation would be whilst it is made very clear from the outset that parking is an additional cost, with 3 cars for the week perhaps the £135 could be absorded in the overall cost like other Cornish Cottages in the area.

Lovely house which is of a very high standard.. Good facilities and well equipped. Would benefit from a barbecue on the terrace. We couldn’t get the terrace lights to work so couldn’t sit out at night with books or card games. The fun of overlooking the harbour was a real pleasure. The minute you sit down at the table, you lose the view because of the wall - what about the table sitting back on a raised area?

Furnishings very shabby , dining room chairs falling apart, table lamp was in pieces propped against the wall , instructions on waste disposal inadequate .. Rental photo of property does not meet expectations . Repairs need to be looked into and updated .

This is our 3rd time back at the cottage and we had a fantastic holiday again.. The only issue is that the back gate was padlocked with no key which caused an issue with unloading the luggage. On the details it does say that we could unload at the back gate. Apart from this, all was perfect!!
