Perfectly positioned right on the harbour 👍
Nothing
Breakfast separate, delicious
Silly little things - TV a bit annoying - just needs turning off at wall and you can hear people moving around at night but they pale against the beauty and kindness
Lovely location. Very clean room. The bed was so comfortable and bedding was great quality.
Bathroom was a little small but perfectly adequate.
Very good views right on the harbour front
N/a
Great location and it did have free parking albeit 8 min walk away. Great view of harbour and very central to all amenities.
Very small room and kept knocking leg on bed post when accessing clothes rail. Bed not so comfy. Door heavy and definitely needs some oiling!
Very clean and conveniently located on the harbour front
It’s quite small, especially the bathroom
Position in the village next to the Harbour. Very nice bed. Had parking though it required dropping cases off.
Main issue is the thiness of the walls. Especially the bathroom facilities as you hear not just the flushing but what they were doing! Plus talking late inot mufgled at all nto the night if the neighbouring flat are up late.
Pas de petit déjeuner mais super emplacement
Un parking permanent plus proche Un petit déjeuner inclus dans le prix
Amazing location with a lovely harbour view from the window. The room had everything we needed for a short stay, including small toiletries such as shampoo and shower gel. It’s a very good price for what you get and the parking is included too (8 mins walk from the property).
We had asked in advance whether there was a fridge in the room, and if not, whether we could have one, as we were travelling from far away and had a birthday cake that needed to be kept refrigerated. We were provided with a fridge, which we really appreciated, but unfortunately it was so small that only a small bottle of water or a can of drink could fit inside. As a result, we had to throw the cake away, which was disappointing. The room and bathroom are quite small, so there is a little logistical inconvenience when getting ready or moving things around. However, if you’re only staying for one/two nights, it’s absolutely fine.
The room was Amazing , a little small if im really being critical
Advertising lead us to believe that the apartment would have a Harbour view. There may have been a view from the front apartment but not ours.
The Wheelhouse was right in the harbour over looking its beautiful scenery. The one bed room was spotless with a lovely bathroom
I didn’t dislike anything
The great location on the dock and scenery.
No car park at the property but the walk was pleasant.
location excellent and value for money for the price paid. Great view over the harbour.
very small room and bathroom but ok for the price. and the view made up for that.
Muy nuevo, limpio y bien decorado. A un paso del puerto
Great location, free parking a 10min walk away, everything we needed for our stay. A 5min drive away from the lost gardens of heligan which we visited. Lots of places to eat in or takeaway, bakery’s, ice-creams, a nice selection of shops.
We were perfectly happy with our stay
The location and exceptional view of the harbour. Free parking
The property would benefit from a smaller toilet to create needed space around it
Unglaubliche Aussicht !!!! Nicht zu vergleichen…
Lovely cosy room overlooking the harbour. Very quiet at night (seagull alarm clock but thats part of the charm of being next to the harbour) very comfy room, nice shower.
Nothing
Very characteristic place in the port of the town, little but cleaned and very nice
Emplacement et vue au top dans le petit port de Mevagissey, calme. Chambre petite comme annoncée donc pas de surprise, propre, salle de bain bien équipée, avec du thé et des biscuits, wifi nickel. Food truck juste sur le port pour manger du poisson extra ! Parking dédié un peu loin, mais qui a le mérite d'exister, merci The Wheelhouse !!
Literie un peu molle à notre goût, mais confortable.
I have provided a separate review of this family run guesthouse. It is a little gem situated on a fishing wharf with : An attached cafe: Lovely food Excellent service in the guesthouse & cafe Parking availability & A standard of care by its staff,Sally & Caz that you don't usually find these days .
Nothing - this is what it is, a small, modest guest house which provides value for money in a beautiful location
The rooms were very nice and clean. Also the location was a very beautiful place and very nice people xxx
Die Lage war sensationell, direkt am Hafen
Der Parkplatz war relativ weit entfernt
We didn't have breakfast in the cafe but we did have coffee, which was very nice. For breakfast we went to She Sells because they had yoghourt with granola and fresh fruit
The mattress was a bit soft and I think old. Could do with a new one in room one
Absolutely loved our stay here. On the harbour in beautiful Mevagissey. Was so peaceful watching out of the window overlooking the harbour. One of our favourite spots on the whole of our travelling about holiday, so we will be returning. Plenty of places to eat and nice local pubs and walks and a little boat ride to see the seals. Two seconds away is a seal who likes to sleep in the harbour. Was lucky to see it. Parking about ten mins walk away but not an issue.
Location, comfort, added touches (basket of drink options, biscuits etc.)
All was good.
Top Lage mit Ausblick auf den Hafen, sehr gute und unkomplizierte Organisation, freundliches Personal
Das Zimmer ist sehr klein und hat praktisch keinen Stauraum. Aber sehr hübsch.
Very good right on the harbour. Good service
So close to harbour
Perfect location and comfortable
Wonderful location Friendly Idyllic
The window was too heavy for me to open and close and it was 29 degrees! .. so effected my sleep
Absolutely spotless and clean, great location, great and friendly hosts.. 💯% recommend XX
Nothing at all
Facing the harbour, I was able to make a cuppa in the morning and pop out and watch the sun coming up
Room was compact but I was on my own and it wasn’t a problem and it was very clean.
This is a great place to stay. We had room 3. A large comfortable room with views over the harbour. Excellent
Location
Lack of storage space, no shelves or drawers in the room so had to leave our clothes in our case. If the case hadn’t been able to fit under the bed there was insufficient floor space to put the case anywhere.
Fantastic location. Parking,Lovely clean room. Easy and friendly communication with owner. Will definitely return. Thanks.
Nothing
Great location for a weekend break, but I'm not sure I'd drive to the front door again, very tight two way single track roads.
Small room which was difficult to keep cool. Insufficient leg room for wc, suggest a corner loo would cure this.
Great find right on the harbour in Mevagissey, the room was very clean and had everything we needed. Caz was very helpful and friendly
Nothing
Localisation super car sur le port
Très difficile d'accès en voiture. Si vous avez des valises c'est assez long depuis le parking mis a disposition. Aussi une odeur un peu désagréables dans le salon. Les vitres sont en simple vitrage.
The view from the room over the harbour! Fantastic location
No parking on site and the free parking offered was a fair distance from the room. Weird layout to get to the room itself.. up one set of stairs followed by another then down another set to get to the room! If you struggle with getting up.and down stairs this isnt the place for you.😞 let down by very small things that could easily be put right like a rusty radiator in the bathroom Very Sticky Sticky back plastic on a beautiful oak desk / dressing table.. both horrible to look at and touch.
Ideal location, clean room, efficiently run in terms of checking in and out. Plus parking included.
Nothing to add here
Location on the harbour, friendly staff ,deluxe room is spacious and very comfortable bearing in mind this is old building.
Zacht beddengoed Uitzicht over de haven Bagage opslag
The view, the water in the room.
The very small bathroom, as my husband is nearly 6ft he struggled using it. It would have been nice to know just how small it was before we booked and then that would have had a better bearing on whether we went ahead or not with the booking. Also, a fan would have been good. With the windows open there was so much noise from 4:30am onwards, a fan would have allowed us to keep windows shut.
Great location and beautiful view of harbour. Large room, tastefully decorated and furnished. Large shower in good sized bathroom. Loved the 2 armchairs by the window to sit and watch the world go by. 5 min walk to private car park. Considering staying was during heatwave it wasn't unbearably hot. Would definitely recommend.
Two flights of stairs up and one flight of stairs down to Deluxe double so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. A portable fan, mini fridge and hairdryer would be a welcome addition.
Excellent property, perfect location, secure parking , very clean and comfortable, wonderful views
We only stayed one night unfortunately but it happened to be the hottest night of the year, and being a 20 stone bloke I found the shower and toilet a bit of a challenge shall we say 🤣but that’s more me than the apartment! Wife says a Devan bed would of saved her a few bruises when she came out of bathroom!
The location was great, had an amazing view of the harbour and we where right in town centre. Very clean and comfortable to stay in. Great staff, gave instructions to get to the room and what there is around the area Great food around and a real community feel to the whole place, really enjoyed it.
Parking is very far away out of the town so we had to carry all our bags Also no air conditioning ment we where roasting in the room even with a open window
Lovely view
Nothing
Central location. Very comfortable.
The view from the room was amazing, and just what we were looking for. We had informed them that my husband would be bringing a mobility scooter, and confirmed that it could be left downstairs. This was acknowledged on our arrival.
The outside steps up to the accommodation were a little challenging, but we managed it. It would not be suitable for anyone that wasn't able to do so.
On the Coast Path so really easy to locate. Access information clear and helpful. Surprisingly well sized room which was clean and comfortable. Close to good places to eat.
Nothing - all good.
L'emplacement est top, la chambre est jolie et la vue est superbe.
La salle de bain est minuscule, et le parking un peu loin, rien d'infaisable mais ça fait une petite marche.
Great location.. very spacious and comfortable
Stairs!
Very central but quiet location in Mevagissey. Spacious two bedroom apartment over two floors. Well equipped kitchen. Two comfortable double beds.
Carpets rather worn and a bit grubby. Exterior in need of decoration.
So cosy when we lit the fire and and dimmed the lights everything we need there for cooking and perfect location
Zero problems with property
Location
Great location and view. Room was clean and modern
Very small bathroom and thin walls
Location right on waterfront. Easy lockbox access. Shower area quite large.
Small room
The location of The Wheelhouse is superb: being right in front of the harbour and main street. The adjourning cafe, Orange Ora was very good. Staff at both were very friendly, helpful and professional. Our deluxe room was excellent having the best views of the harbour . It was an absolute joy waking up (going to sleep) to such glorious views of Mevagissey harbours! Our room was of a great size. The shower was nice. There was a kettle .
Nothing really. All good for us. But maybe breakfast could be included in the rate!
The location of the Wheelhouse is excellent. Staff both at the hotel (especially Caz) and at the adjourning cafe, Orange Ora were very friendly and efficient. The latter allowed us to leave our bags with them before the check-in time. The food in the cafe looked delicious and was busy when it was open. There was good communication from Caz about the checking-in procedures and about getting the door code. The view from the front-facing window was stunning. We could have sat in our room all day admiring the harbours! The room was clean. We had kettle and teas. The shower was nice and hot.
In our standard room, the bathroom was very small. As someone has mentioned previously here, you have to angle yourself in a certain way to use the toilet. Shame that there was no breakfast included at the cafe.
What a lovely place to stay. The room was lovely, clean, and comfortable. Great location with free parking a 10 minute walk away. We met Caz, the lady who looked after the rooms, and she couldn't have been more helpful. I would stay here again
Fantastic location, very clean .
Location on the harbour was wonderful. We had the cottage on two levels which is problematic ready for a makeover over but it was clean and tidy.
Parking for our motorcycles was a little remote but at least it was provided.
Sehr zentral, sehr sauber und schön eingerichtet
Sehr gemütliches Zimmer mit Blick auf den Hafen.
Excellent, abd beautiful view over harbour
Nothing
Self-Check-In hat problemlos funktioniert, alles sauber und gemütlich. Tolle Lage mit Blick auf den Hafen. Ich würde wiederkommen! Mevagissey ist ein toller Ort.
Das kaltweiße Licht der Nachttischlampe war etwas ungemütlich.
Location was perfect.
Wheelhouse no longer exists. It is now called the Orange Ora? There were no facilities that we could see. Bathroom ridiculously small. No information or instructions in the room at all. No evidence of any housekeeping.
Schönes, kleines Appartement mit Küche und Wohnzimmer, sehr gemütlich. Die Lage ist direkt am Hafen besser gehts nicht
The cottage was perfect for the 3 of us, it would comfortably accommodate 4. The location is amazing so close to all the amenities and just a few steps from the harbour
Nothing. There are steps to navigate from the front door to the apartment but they are easy to navigate for us.
Quiet Wonderful view of the harbour Clean and comfortable
A mini fridge would have been helpful
Great location, great view , clean room. Good nights sleep. Given very clear instructions re keybox etc
Location excellent for our Coast Path walk. Nice, quiet cottage ( apart from the pigeons ! ). Very clean, had everything we wanted :) Customer service brilliant / communication from Caz spot on and very friendly. We will stay again. Had a bacon sandwich at Orange Ora before leaving, smashing ! Mevagissey quirky with great pubs / food.
More Tea bags please !!
We have stayed here before and were pleased to see the standard had been maintained, even improved. The room was small but very clean and comfortable. It is right on the quay and our room had a great view. The cafe downstairs was a great place for breakfast. We would not hesitate to stay at The Wheelhouse again.
Nothing really. All good
Schöne Lage am Hafen (aber man hört die Möwen und die Fischer, die nachts bzw früh morgens raus-/reinfahren, wenn man einen leichten Schlaf hat). Ansonsten ein hübsches Zimmer, geschmackvoll eingerichtet.
The views from the room
The very small bathroom
Sehr sauber und schön eingerichtet. Top Lage und Ausblick auf den Hafen.
Location and character
Posizione stupenda proprio sul porto. Stanzetta piccola, ma ben organizzata. Letto comodo e doccia ampia!
Perfect location as we were walking the SWCP and it had everything we needed after a long day. Lovely and clean too. Would definitely recommend
Fantastic location, comfy beds, easy access.
Can’t fault it, had everything we need
Location View
Great spot righ on the wharf. A few nice places to eat as well as the fabulous 'Teacup Tearoom' offering the best Cornish cream tea in the county.
A small fridge would have been very useful. Access up, then down the steep stairs necessitated great care - not a criticism, just advice for others when selecting the property.
Komfortables Cottage direkt am Hafen. Die Vermieterin war sehr freundlich.
Es war direkt am SWCP
Close to harbour & very close to great restaurants
Simple cottage in an excellent location, comfortable and easy to check in
No views but not much you can do about that.
Location- free parking- great communication-friendly
Small bathroom and shower
Perfect location for a quiet relaxing stay
There isn’t much I can complain about only just a warning that there are 2 flights of stairs to the accommodation and due to the location (which is amazing) parking is free however it is off site and a 10 minute walk to the accommodation. We were made very welcome and the onsite cafe was just amazing warm and friendly staff
On the harbour, nicely decorated with all you need.
The views of the port from the room are amazing. It’s right in the centre of town, close to everything. We forgot some items in the room and the host very kindly posted them to us the next day.
