The West Country / Cornwall region
Cornwall’s visitors are constantly tempted back to the beautiful coastline, tiny fishing villages, hidden coves and the world-class surfing. Or could it be the cliff-top theatre at Mynack, working harbours, the world famous Eden project or St Michaels Mount, cut off from the mainland by a causeway. Or even the endless activities on offer; the Camel Cycling and Walking Trail, stunning coastal paths or the National Surf Centre at Newquay’s Fistral beach. Whatever the reason, Cornwall has long cemented its place as one of Britain’s premier holiday destinations.
The Mevagissey area
Mevagissey is the archetypal Cornish fishing village, and is a picturesque place with a harbour full of bobbing boats and meandering cobbled streets. The coast has beautiful walks in both directions, gorgeous sandy beaches, cliffs and secluded coves. There is a superb selection of pubs and restaurants, and a ferry runs daily to Fowey in the summer season. Just up the road you’ll find the Lost Gardens of Heligan; the fascinating Tall Ships harbour at Charlestown with its shipwreck museum and fish smokery is seven miles distant, and the incredible tropical biospheres of the famous Eden Project are 11 miles away. The beaches and coastline of the Roseland Peninsula are a short drive down the coast and the shops, restaurants and theatre of the cathedral city of Truro are just half an hour’s drive away.

all ground floor bedrooms were damp (my sons who suffer from ashma had to sleep on the top floor) The showers were really poor pressure and the garden was pretty much unuseable as it was overgrown.... more |
Guestbook for 2881 - Driftwood House
A lovely warm house and we were welcomed with a bottle of bubbly - thank-you! Shops, pubs & restaurants close by.

,Great location for touring. Loved the house and the history to it. It was so nice to just walk out the front door and walk round the corner to the harbour!

,The house was large and pleasant, the owners very helpful. Each bedroom was comfortable and we enjoyed the en suite rooms. We appreciated all the good and large pans in the kitchen and all the thoughtful extras.

,It was lovely to return to Driftwood House and Mevagissey. Revisited a couple of our favourite pubs and restaurants and tried a couple of new ones too - great to be able to support the local community after the floods.
