THE ACCOMMODATION
Cobblestones is a non-smoking cottage
and we regret we cannot accommodate pets.
Please note that cobblestones is
situated on a hill, and that the walk up to the cottage from the village
although only a few hundred yards, is quite steep in places.
Due to this and the layout of the
accommodation, we regret but we cannot cater for disabled guests.

OUTSIDE SPACE
Cobblestones does not
have a garden or any private outside space.
However there is a children’s park and large green area a short walk up
the road overlooking the sea.
WHERE
TO PARK
Cobblestones does not have a private parking space. However, there is parking available in the street
directly outside the cottage. These spaces cannot be reserved and are strictly
limited to use on a first come first served basis. Should you not be able to
park directly outside the cottage, or if you feel that your parking skills will
be stretched by the space and the incline of the road, then further on-road
parking can often be found further up the hill. There are also commercial car
parks in the centre of Mevagissey and on the Quay, approximately 3-minute walk
from the cottage - charges vary. It is not advisable to drive a vehicle further
down hill than the cottage as this results in a narrow dead end and very steep
incline which your car may not be able to reverse out of. It should be noted that Mevagissey was built
in a time before cars existed and the narrow winding streets and cobbled
pathways are part of its charm. Please take care whenever you are driving as
most roads also have pedestrians walking upon them.
