About this property

Penare House offers generous proportions and a hilltop position with sea views and convenient access to the beach and coastal footpath in the fishing village of Mevagissey on Cornwall's golden Riviera coastline. It is a handsome property for large parties but equally great for couples looking to enjoy a romantic break. Arranged over three levels the interior smoulders with an understated elegance. Perhaps the most striking feature is the master en-suite bedroom with its ocean views, antique four poster bed and chaise longue or, if it is an atmosphere for entertaining, then the kitchen/diner which boasts a wood burner beside a farmhouse dining table, every conceivable appliance including a range cooker and doors to the enclosed rear garden equipped with a brick barbecue and patio furniture. Adults can retire to the comfy sitting room and the warmth of an open fire in the cooler months and for children there is an entertainment room on the top floor equipped with a second TV, wireless broadband, hi-fi, games and a pair of tripod mounted binoculars. The property is full of books, from new to very old, with a plethora of subjects, so put your feet up and get lost in a few. Mevagissey village and harbour, which still operates a small fleet and pleasure boats, is a ten minute walk along narrow streets lined with fishermen cottages, old inns, restaurants and galleries. Convenient for the beaches at Polstreath, Pentewan and Gorran Haven and within a 10 mile radius of the renowned Eden Project, the award winning Lost Gardens of Heligan, the exclusive waterfront town of Fowey and harbourside village of St Mawes. Penare House caters exceptionally well for families and offers bespoke pricing for couples during the low season.

Mevagissey is the perfect Cornish fishing village, with winding cobbled streets and a picturesque harbour full of boats. Stunning walks lead along the coast in both directions, with sandy beaches, high cliffs and hidden coves to explore. The village has an excellent selection of pubs and restaurants, whilst just up the road are the Lost Gardens of Heligan. A ferry from Mevagissey to Fowey also runs daily between Easter and September.

    Really enjoyed our stay at Penare House and all those books!

  • Maureen

    But the house desperately in need of some TLC. Damp a problem. Access not great for elderly, disabled and toddlers. But big thanks to housekeeper Poppy. House was clean and showers hot and kitchen was well appointed. Sofas definitely needed replaced. We had brought our own stair gate for 22 month old toddler. But we had a wonderful holiday and saw a lot of Cornwall.

    The house was well equipped and a perfect size for our family of six. Very close to the coast path and for walks to the nearby beach and into Mevagissey. So many books to read and board games were a great addition. Our only negatives were that a little TLC is needed, there is some patchy damp on a few of the internal exterior walls and the sofa as others have mentioned could do with updating, and pillows replacing but these didn't hamper our stay. We hope to return.
