The Net Loft, situated in Portmellon, Mevagissey, Cornwall, is a charming accommodation that can comfortably sleep up to eight guests. This property features three well-appointed bedrooms and boasts stunning sea and countryside views. Designed to provide warmth during the winter months, the living space is enhanced by a log burner and night storage heaters. The large living area retains many original features, contributing to the character and charm of this pre-Napoleonic building, which is perched on a cliff and offers a unique seaside experience.
Portmellon is a quaint beach community known for its family-friendly atmosphere, highlighted by a local pub that serves a selection of local beers and hearty family meals. Just a 15-minute walk away lies Mevagissey, a picturesque 14th-century fishing village. With its array of fishing boats, shops, galleries, and restaurants lining the narrow cobbled streets, Mevagissey provides visitors with an authentic taste of Cornish culture and heritage. This vibrant village is a hub of activity, showcasing the region's rich maritime history.
The Net Loft is accessed via a climb from a private sea-facing garden, which, while lovely for children and pets, is not fully secure. Care must be taken as there is a drop to the lane below, making the property less suitable for guests with limited mobility. The garden area is ideal for outdoor relaxation but requires supervision for children and dogs to ensure their safety. The building’s elevated position allows for breathtaking views, though securing the garden would compromise these vistas.
Located in the rural area of St Austell, the apartment offers easy access to various cultural highlights, including the Mevagissey Museum and the Charlestown Shipwreck and Heritage Centre. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore the South West Coast Path, which features scenic hiking and biking trails. Additionally, visitors can enjoy activities such as scuba diving and snorkeling in the surrounding waters, or visit notable attractions like the Eden Project and the Mevagissey Aquarium, making The Net Loft a perfect base for exploring the natural beauty and cultural richness of the South West of England.
