Rooftops is a beautifully refurbished Grade II listed fisherman's cottage in the heart of Mevagissey. The property sits on a quaint, winding street, overlooking the working harbour, rolling hills and tiled rooftops of the historic town below.

The ground floor entrance has a lovely stable door, which can be left half open for breeze on summer days. This leads into the homely kitchen, which is well-equipped with all the appliances and utensils one could need. Includes dishwasher, microwave, kettle, toaster, coffee machine with capsules, large fridge freeze, washing machine and tumble dryer. Additionally, there is a high chair for those with little ones.

The first floor can be reached through a second entrance or via the stairs. This level has a cosy living room with 4 seater sofa, Eames armchair & beanbag.

Furthermore, there is an additional flat-screen TV and Roberts Radio for relaxing in bed. The twin room also has a radio and distant sea views. Additionally, there is a travel cot for guests travelling with babies.

Whilst there is no enclosed outside space at Rooftops, the cottage is set on a quiet narrow lane with no passing traffic, which provides a safe space for children to play or the perfect spot to enjoy a drink in the evening sun, looking over towards Heligan. This also means your stay will be very peaceful.

Convenient cottage just above the town.
We enjoyed this modernized old fisherman’s cottage situated just above the main tourist area of Mevagissey harbour. Functional kitchen and dining area on the main, comfortable lounge area above, and comfy bed (+ twin bedroom we didn’t use) and bathroom on the top floor. Stairs are steep, so not good if disabled or infirm, otherwise a great place to stay. Parking to unload/load is challenging but doable - take your time! We would happily stay here again.
