| The "Ancient Shipbrokers" is an impressive Victorian
house set in over 1 acre of coastal meadow. We have a unique spot
cradled between the sea and the rolling agricultural fields towards
the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Enjoying an elevated position we have
fantastic views of the sea, Mevagissey fishing fleet and Pentewan
village, beach and harbour. Facing south, the garden and newly built
deck soak up the sun as soon as it appears…ideal for drinking a
bottle of wine, reading and relaxing. We are not licensed but provide
wine glasses and corkscews for your convenience. |
| Mel and Wendy are pleased to open their home
to guests and take every opportunity to make your stay as enjoyable
as possible. Mel loves to cook breakfast and give advice on places
to visit, especially those off the beaten track. He has lived in
Cornwall since the 1970s whilst Wendy was born in the county and
is true Cornish. |
