Stayed here with family, 3 adults, 4 teenagers and a dog. We all loved the house, lots of space, really clean, well thought out and everything you needed , which I think is very rare! It truly felt like a home from home and we were sad to leave. The location is fantastic too, a 2 minute walk to Portmellon cove and the Rising Sun Inn- newly taken ovRead moreer and re furbed and really good. 20 minute walk to Mevagissey which reminded me of a small Padstow but less showy! Loved it too especially the Ship Inn where we had our best meals of the holiday, despite eating in some other really nice places. Porthluney Beach was out of this world as were the coastal walks, especially to Goran Haven. I would not hesitate to recommend this house and location and I am sure we will be back! Amazing last week of the summer holidays Hide

St Mellyn is a beautiful house in a fantastic location, the facilities are fantastic with all you need. The location is perfect for water loving families with an amazing pub at the bottom of the lane. A short walk into Mevagissy which is a beautiful harbour town. We loved our stay and will return. Thank you.

Very good stay in Portmellon. The house is in a great position - no sea view unfortunately but just a few yards down the track to the beach and a lovely coffee shack on the front. The beach is entirely covered at high tide but it becomes exposed again very quickly as the tide has a big range. The walk into Mevagissey is quite steep but you do geRead moret great views over the harbour and it's well worth it. The house itself fitted our requirements very well with a good living space. Hide
