This is right up there as one of the best places to stay I have ever come across. The accommodation is stunning and beautifully finished, combining original Cornish character with tastefully chic decor and furnishings, whilst providing you with every modern convenience you could need. I can see anyone being happy here - families with children, groups of friends, couples... More

Thanks for a perfect stay. We loved the cottage (super attention to detail, v. high spec), the pool and hot tub, the proximity to the beach, and the fact that all the surfing/coasteering was organised for us. The weather was perfect, but there was a ton of stuff to keep us busy on a rainy day. Would recommend without hesitation.

The only bad thing about Cornwall for me is that it is so far from London and we don't get there often enough. This time I was lucky enough to be one of a group staying at Mesmear Cottages, St Minver, near to Polzeath. 'Cottages' hardly describes the most beautifully appointed and spacious accommodation which Mesmear comprises. Mesmear manages to... More

My girlfriends and I have just returned from a very special weekend in Cornwall, my Hen Party. I think last weekend was the first time in my life I didn't notice the dreadful weather outside for two reasons. 1. I was having the time of my life! 2. In the most beautiful surroundings. Mesmear is simply stunning in every way.... More

I recently had the opportunity for a short get-away at what must be the premier holiday facility in the country. Nestled in the Cornwall countryside, this lovely period farm provides all the modern amenities without losing its local charm. Modern and elegant where you want it (bathroom and kitchen), there is nothing wanting here. Living spaces are spacious and inviting,... More

My husband, 11 month old daughter and i stayed in the Calf Shed at Mesmear and cannot reccomend it enough for families (the Calf shed ideal for those with crawlers as there are no stairs!) and for couples looking for a romantic escape. The welcome pack was outstanding, local bread and butter, home made jam, eggs from their chickens and... More

Just back from a short break at Mesmear with eight close friends and their kids and, without exception, every one of us had a fantastic time. The cottages are beautiful, everything is of high quality, the owners are very helpful and welcoming and every possible detail has been thought of so you have a great stay. In short - we... More

Thanks to Tony, Vicky and Nick for making our Cornwall summer holiday (2 weeks) one to remember. Their walm welcome and (unobtrusive) advice for maximising all the region has to offer was invaluable. Our accomodation (Calf's House) was ultra clean, comfortable and well appointed with a great kitchen/open living area, internet, TV etc. When at Mesmear our children (8 &... More

My family has just returned from our 3rd visit to Mesmear! It has been perfect each time. Mesmear has a choice of 3 houses to book, all converted barns. We have always chosen the Calf House, the smallest of the houses and all on one level. This has worked especially well with toddler no 1 and most recently toddler no... More
