“Perfect stay”
+We loved our night in The Wheelhouse. We had a lovely view of the harbour from our room. Very comfy bed, the bathroom was modern and clean. Tea and coffee, biscuits, kettle. Storage for clothes….and a window that actually opened…also sockets near the bed. Great WiFi. All you could ask for in beautiful Mevagissey. It was great to have free parking too. A short walk out of the village but definitely an advantage.

“Cosy clean room”
+Beautiful location, cosy room. Very clean. Lovely view comfortable bed. Easy self check in. However if you're on the larger size you may struggle to use the shower and loo. Check out is very early at 10 am and unable to check in until 15.00. The owners were a little naughty and didn't tell us the restaurant was closed however there are some nice eateries close by. Parking a bit of a trek we were lucky with the westher but this is everywhere in Mevagissey. We would stay here again
+I was concerned because the premises were unmanned, but in the event I had a very nice room, and a wonderful view.
+Lovely location on the harbour but very thin walls so you can hear people in the next rooms. The bathroom is compact- ie tiny.

“Awful - do not eat here!”
+Avoid at all cost! Probably one of the worst meals we’ve ever had! £60 for lunch for 2 adults and 2 kids and it was awful, chips were good but apart from that nothing was edible, kids pizza was horrible, smoked salmon was grey and looked terrible and scampi was the worst I’ve ever had, was frozen overcooked and grey! Surely in Cornwall fresh produce should be being served not frozen out of a packet rubbish and then to charge £14 is a joke!!!

“Poor first impression of Cobblestone Cottage”
+On arrival at the Wheelhouse we were disappointed that it was closed. We followed the instructions to let ourselves into the self-catering cottage to the side of the property. It was rather grubby looking, the outer door was in need of cleaning as was the stairway. Once inside the cottage was reasonably clean with some exceptions. The bed was comfy and we slept well. The bathroom needs a deep clean, especially the floor and skirting boards. The loo seat is wonky. I appreciate that it is difficult looking after old buildings, however the sash windows need sorting. None closed properly and certainly weren't secure. The stairs inside the cottage are very steep, not suitable for the elderly or young children. The location is good and this could be a nice property with some TLC and attention to detail. It feels very unloved. I couldn't tell you about the hosts as we never saw them. The Wheelhouse was closed whenever we went past. We had hoped to book breakfast there, but instead had a lovely breakfast near the Lighthouse at a takeaway. There were plenty of nice places to eat and drink in the village, just not the Wheelhouse!

“A very warm welcome”
+We received a very warm welcome on a rather damp day and were able to sit in the window watching the world go by. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the food was good too. One of the few places in old fishing villages where you can get in easily with a wheelchair.

“Superb, would seriously stay again”
+Chris and the team managed to fit us in to the Wheelhouse even though I had made a mistake with the booking. Everyone was really friendly, the food was great and just to sit outside, having dinner, and watching the boats come in and unload their catch was such a treat. Plenty of parking nearby and cheap too, although the drive around the harbour took some attention. Didnt have breakfast as we got up early to take in the sunrise and to take pictures and saw seals swimming in harbour too!
+Clean and nicely planned room on waterfront. Its just a few rooms above a restaurant so easy to find food. I arrived by boat from Fowey which made it extra fun.

“Poor food and service”
+To call themselves a seafood restaurant is a joke,I ordered the special which was a surf and turf and was priced at £28 when it arrived, there was no onion rings no salad garnish the steak I asked for it to be medium and it come out like leather one small prawn which was advertised as a tiger prawns and two very small scallops very overpriced also service wasn’t great long wait for food and when it did come was just lukewarm Will not be returning
