Honeycombe House, Mevagissey, St Austell, Cornwall
Honeycombe House is an imposing Victorian house situated high on the road above the picturesque 14th Century fishing port of Mevagissey, yet only a few minutes’ walk from the centre of the village. This amazing vantage point gives breathtaking panoramic views of both the outer and inner harbours. You will struggle to find a better view in the whole village than the ones enjoyed here and arguably this B&B has one of the best views in Cornwall.
There are guest rooms that can be let as double or twin rooms. They both have a TV, tea/coffee making facilities and a hairdryer. Wi-Fi internet access is available throughout the guest areas of the house. The rooms have the luxury of a large balcony overlooking the harbour and bay.
The conservatory breakfast room has a fabulous 180-degree panoramic view and from your table, you can follow the dramatic coastline stretching from Mevagissey across to Gribbin Head and as far as Rame Head. On a clear day, you can just about spot Eddystone Lighthouse on the far horizon located a further 9 miles south-west of Rame Head.
Whatever the weather, the view is constantly changing and there is always something to see, as both harbours are a hive of activity with fishing and pleasure boats constantly coming and going. You may even be lucky enough to spot seals, basking sharks or dolphins from the comfort of your breakfast table.
The B&B is ideally situated to visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan, a couple of minutes away by car, or the Eden Project which is only 9 miles away and the National Maritime Museum at Falmouth is only 30 miles away.
Mevagissey is an ideal base from which to explore the numerous delights of Cornwall.
You may even prefer to visit some of the many nearby beaches or stroll along the South West Coast Path which passes the house. A section of the National Cycle Network runs in front of Honeycombe House.
