Finest Retreats | Backlet Cottage

Perfectly located right in the heart of the popular fishing village of Mevagissey, this beautifully-restored terraced cottage is ideally located for all the restaurants, cafes and pubs in the village, as well as being an ideal base for touring South Cornwall's famous coastline.

As soon as you enter the cottage, guests will immediately sense the homely and luxurious feel and appreciate the owner's natural flair for interiors.

The cottage is set over three floors: The ground floor offers a sociable open plan layout with sitting and dining areas with slate floors, and a cosy log-burning stove adding a characterful touch and perfect for the autumn and winter evenings. The ground floor is also where guests can find the well-equipped kitchen which contains all the amenities required for guests to cook up a feast in their self-catering stay.

Stairs lead up to the first floor bedroom with two single beds. The main shower room sits conveniently on the landing next to this bedroom. The next flight of stairs takes you to the second floor master bedroom with king-size bed, dramatic vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and its own en-suite shower room.

Mevagissey is one of the most charming fishing ports of the South Cornish coast with is white and colour-washed cottages perched on the slopes of the hills encircling the two harbours. Many of the old fish cellars in the picturesque village have been converted to modern use but their old strong walls and the unspoilt appearance of the narrow streets retain the character of old Mevagissey. Fishing still remains one of the main occupations for the locals and visitors interested in fishing will be glad to know that many of the boats in the working harbour are available for deep sea angling and shark fishing. Shorter mackerel fishing trips around the bay are also popular.

Much of the coastline adjacent to Mevagissey is cared for by the National Trust and is easily accessible. Guests can visit the ruins of Portgiskey, cottages, cellars, gardens and boatyards, abandoned in the late nineteenth century. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are just outside of the village and the Eden Project is approximately 7 miles away.
