The Best Places to Stay in Mevagissey, UK (2025)

Set on Cornwall’s quieter southern coast, Mevagissey is a quaint, characterful fishing village where cottages climb the hillside and two busy harbours sit at its centre. Its narrow streets are lined with simple cafes, small shops, and an easygoing, lived-in feel. Despite its size, you’ll find plenty of solid places to stay here—from relaxed country-house hotels to smart clifftop B&Bs and good-value spots for beach-goers. And with fishing trips on the water and the Lost Gardens of Heligan just up the road, Mevagissey makes a straightforward, welcoming base for a Cornish break.

For families

• Sitting between the village and St Austell, and surrounded by 40 acres of parkland, Cornwall Hotel Spa & Estate offers guests a choice of the light, spacious rooms in the hotel or the self-catering Woodland Homes, which makes it ideal for families. The spot feels very green and rural, but there are four lovely beaches within five miles, two of which are walkable.
