About this property

A substantial detached house in an outstanding position a few yards from the sea in the charismatic fishing village of Cadgwith. Set into the hillside and back from the road, Mengarth has reverse level accommodation to appreciate the sea views. Inside find spacious dimensions, slate flagstones, wood flooring, wood burner, books, artistic touches, bath and sauna to relax in post cliff top rambles. On the first floor are the sitting room, kitchen and dining hall plus one bedroom and bathroom. There are three further bedrooms on the ground floor plus two shower rooms. Accessed from the kitchen is a patio with furniture while the outlook from the steep terraced garden is unbeatable ( be sure to take care on the steps). Featured in BBC-TV's Fisherman's Apprentice, Cadgwith is one of the most mesmerising fishing/artist villages in an area of outstanding beauty. This is a place for all who love the smell of sea air, fresh fish from the boat, rock pool expeditions, cliff top rambles, sea shanties, time with family and friends and good food and beer at the 300 year old smugglers' inn. Cadgwith could not be lovelier; it is the destination to slow down and unwind, where modern world stresses are shut out. There is a separate sandy beach for sunbathing and swimming and nearby Kynance Cove, rated as one of the best beaches in the world by the National Trust. It is also a great launch pad for sailing on the Helford, golfing at Mullion's coastal course and the gardens at Trebah and Glendurgan are simply stunning and Rick Stein's seafood restaurant at nearby Porthleven is epicurean heaven. The perfect family retreat, Mengarth is a real home from home.

    The owner called to check everything was ok which was appreciated. We enjoyed breakfast on the patio, surrounded by beautiful flowers and listening to the sea. Cadgwith itself is lovely with great walks on the coast path and shanty singers in the cove. We will definitely return!

    I suspect there may be a damp issue as the smell in the whole of the downstairs area was off putting and very strong. Despite using the dehumidifier / opening the windows, it didn't reduce much in the week we were there. There was also an awful smell in the upstairs bedroom, despite keeping the windows open. It's a shame as the house and setting is really lovely. Also be aware that the sauna is as described 'small' - it is uncomfortable/awkward for 2 people.

    We stayed for a week in May, and we loved the house. It’s like a home from home and huge! Ok so, it’s a little scuffed at the edges, if you want pristine, then choose somewhere else. But if you want super comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen, lovely sitting out areas, beautifully clean and homely, AND masses of space, then absolute come here. Pub is an easy walk even if it’s uphill on the way home, it’s not difficult. Lovely shop for fresh fish and sandwiches, and walks in all directions. I can’t recommend highly enough. We loved it!
