A fabulous historical holiday cottage overlooking Mevagissey Harbour. This lovely seafront Cornish Cottage was built from a shipwreck and is full of history, character and charm.
The Renovation Story
The 'Hoss was purchased in 2014 in a terrible state of disrepair. The timber supports at the front of the house had been built on sand and had rotted at the base,the ceiling joists had rotted and the house was incredibly damp.
Local note
The SeaHoss is the sort of coastal experience that feels best when you slow down, watch the weather, and let the sea set the pace.
Plan the meeting point, parking and boarding time before setting off, especially in busy school holidays.
Best for families who are comfortable around boats, sea air and changing conditions.
A good way to understand the coast from the water before choosing beaches, harbours or fishing marks.
Coastal trips can change with tide and weather, so confirm details on the day and bring layers even in summer.
Originally built using traditional methods of lime, wood and stone so the property could breathe, in the 1900s the stone was boarded over and everything was covered in thick modern paint finished which caused damp as the house is built into a cliff so water had been running down the side with no where to escape.
We stripped with house back to it's original state and repaired it using traditional methods.
What The SeaHoss offers
Set over two floors joined by a spiral staircase, the cottage has two bedrooms, two reception rooms, a dining area and kitchen all overlooking Mevagissey Harbour. You can even take a bath while enjoying the same fabulous view!
The SeaHoss is available for short breaks and holidays throughout the year.
