Eden Cottage, Mevagissey, Cornwall

Our cottage is set in quaint, picturesque village and offers three double bedrooms; the spacious cottage is spread over three floors. The cottage is approx three hundred years old and whilst we aim to meet the needs of all our guests there are some period features which might make access difficult for people with limited mobility. We are located in the heart of the village, situated on level ground, although, there is one small step to enter the cottage. We have rooms at different levels, therefore, there are steps between floors. Ceilings are fairly low on the ground floor. Unfortunately, the layout of this property will make it unsuitable for wheelchair users.



Eden cottage is proud to announce that it has retained it's 4 star status Quality in Tourism.(Visit Britain)
