Polhaun Holiday Apartments sit in an enviable elevated position with spectacular views directly over Mevagissey Harbour and sweeping 360 degree views around the bay. Each of these four apartments, sit adjacent to the owner’s home, and have their own patio with table and chairs and spectacular coastal views. Each have a private parking space, which is very rare for properties in Mevagissey. The apartments are set in pleasant landscaped grounds with raised flower beds, pathways and a pretty fish pond.
They are conveniently located for Mevagissey and Portmellon, with shops, restaurants, café’s, art galleries and a choice of good pubs all within 1 mile. The historic inner harbour was built around 1774 and is famous for its pilchard fishing and stories of smuggling. Mevagissey is still a working fishing harbour alongside water sports activities and pleasure trips. Colourful cottages dot the hillside and meandering pathways lead to coastal footpaths along to Pentewan and Portmellon. The area is perfect for exploring the diverse corners of Cornwall, and for garden lovers The Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project are easily accessed. The historic harbour of Charlestown is a short drive with tall ships and maritime museum. The harbour has featured in a number of TV series and high profile films. Beach 2 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.
These apartments can be booked together to accommodate up to 8 guests.
Unfortunately this flat was very outdated. The beds were as old as I was, uncomfortable. No extra amenities like a washing machine, iron or ironing board were available. The owner looked at us every time we drove in to the property. Very uncomfortable. On the plus side ... the view was spectacular.
Tom is such a pleasant and lovely gentleman. He is so welcoming and cannot do enough for you. Will definitely be staying again.
Stunning views , beautifully kept gardens. The owner Tom is real character, and still leading a very active life, he is friendly and helpful, and guests would love his life story. It is a fifteen or twenty minute walk to Megavissey, the village has plenty of shops, pubs and eating places, and the property is very convenient for sightseeing, being only a couple of miles to the Lost Gardens of Heligan and about a dozen to the EdenProject
Great location with beautiful views of Mevagissey. Lovely landscaped garden. The owner Tom very friendly and helpful.
Lovely cottage situated above Mevagissey Harbour. The views are stunning. It is a 15 minute walk downhill to the village (takes a bit longer to return up the hill!). The cottage is ample for 2 people to live quite comfortably and is perfect for exploring Cornwall. The owner, is very friendly and helpful. He was very happy to put the heating on for us when we asked him. The weather was particularly cold when we stayed. He went the extra mile for us when he parcelled up and posted some clothes that we had left behind in a drawer. We wouldn't hesitate to return to Sowenna.
Our stay August, 2019
Excellent location, fantastic view over Mevagissey, Tom is a genial host.
