  This property is a real home from home.

  It has everything you might need for your stay and your comfort. The only thing it didn't have was a hair dryer, so take one with you. But the owners quickly supplied one after I mentioned I haven't bought mine. The white TV in the photos has been replaced with a larger black one. I had no problems with the signal as mentioned by another review. The bed and sofa are very comfy. I loved having the footstools to put my feet up at the end of a tiring day walking and the throw. The property is in a very quiet location, no noise at night (couldn't hear any Seagulls, unlike other properties I have stayed at in Cornwall). There is a heated towel rail in the bathroom for drying towels or an extendable airer in the garden. A tall unit in the bedroom doubles as a mirror if you turn it around - ingenious. Off road parking right outside property. I preferred to walk down to the harbour via the coast path, there are steps but it is not as steep as walking down/up the road and better views. Instructions of how to join it are in the property. Would recommend getting the ferry from Mevagissey to Fowey (£17 return 2023) instead of driving there. Lovely walk along the SWCP from Mevagissey to Gorran Haven and onto Dodman Point. If you carry onto Hemmick beach (this part is steep in places and very overgrown), you can take the direct route back to Gorran Haven via fields and a camp site, which takes half the time. Then get the bus back to Mevagissey. Very nice ice cream at Gorran Haven, which is very welcome after a long walk. Charlestown very charming place to visit, where they filmed some of Poldark. Another nice easy SWCP walk is Portscatho to St Mawes, good views across to Falmouth. Portscatho is a lovely stop for picnic lunch, there was also a restaurant there which looked inviting but I didn't use it.

  We were extremely pleased with the standard of cleanliness and had chosen the property as it was modern in design with up to date fittings etc.

  so were not disappointed. The bathroom and shower was perfect too. The only downside for us personally was that the garden was not designed with a dog in mind therefore we found it was not ideal for our elderly labrador/spaniel cross. I had envisaged the garden differently than we found it to be, so will undertake more research when making any future bookings. The hill down to the harbour in Mevagissey would be too steep for some people to manage to walk, which we did not appreciate fully until the return journey (although there were payable parking facilities in Mevagissey). We had a wonderful time with so much to see and do in the area and would recommend the property to anyone fit and able to manage the hills when on foot. P.S. We noted the owner feedback book with minor points: No potato peeler or tin opener. An indoor clothes airer would be appreciated if it is too wet to use the outdoor washing line. P.P.S. There was no extra bedding should this have been required and we were unable to find any instructions for the wall heaters (which to my knowledge did not appear to work, although the small room fire did). Thankfully we were very lucky with good weather for the time of year and had a fantastic time.

  Great stay, a few reviews mention early morning noise from vehicles delivering to the pub and shop outside.

  There was, but it didn`t bother us as it was usually around 7 o`clock, sometimes slightly earlier, sometimes later and as early risers, we were usually up and about by then. A set of draws somewhere would be nice as there was only hanging space with 12 hangers, luckily we took spare hangers with us as there are never enough wherever you stay. Only a small dustpan and brush. A longer handled version or better still a vacuum to keep the floor clean would be better. We visited in November which means early darkness, so an outside light would be nice as it is very dark through the gate and round the back to the accommodation. One with a sensor would be ideal, so it only comes on when people activate it. Having a parking space is a big plus. We stayed in Mevagissey last year in a cottage with a great view overlooking the harbour. Unfortunately no parking so you had to leave the car on the opposite side of the harbour and walk back round, so the parking space at Midships is a very welcome. For us, the pros far out way the cons, so we have already booked up for another stay at Midships next year. Looking forward to it.

  An Kres is a wonderful little home from home, with every comfort you can think of.

  .. even the dreaded WiFi that no one seems to be able to cope without.. Too many things to list that are available for use on arrival, and all they ask is that you keep it tidy and put the rubbish out.. Gill and Colin are lovely hosts and neighbours and are full of useful local information but by the same token will leave you alone to enjoy Located just outside the village of Mevagissy it's either a quick walk downhill to the town or you can take the car.. helpful tip.. use the willow car and coach park as this means you can drive straight out without having to drive through the town to come back Small patio area to the rear of the house is great if theres just the two of you, but the dog struggled as he didn't have any grass (he,s fussy like that) but a quick walk round the corner soon sorted him out.. Would definately recommend as this is great value for money for this time of year, will hopefully be back again sometime soon.. Jon & Allison

  It's a beautiful apartment, the decor is lovely and fresh, the shower and bathroom were very clean.

  The kitchen area is great with everything you could need for a self catering holiday. The only things we missed were a coat rack and clothes airer. We'd got some thick winter coats and waterproofs. There's not really much hanging space in the bedroom to use that area for coats. Maybe put a coat rack on the back of the door in the tank cupboard so it's out the way. Which we kind of did because that's where we put our coats for the week just on the shelves, also that door handle sticks so we never properly closed it. You could also do with it's own drying rack, we borrowed one that was in the hallway downstairs (we weren't sure if it was communal) so I could put some washing out to dry. The welcome pack and the wine was a lovely treat, thank you. The parking space was a bonus. We would definitely recommend this apartment to friends and family.
