Accommodation overview: Quietly nestled away just 50 yards from the small sandy cove in Portmellon and only half a mile south of the picturesque fishing village of Mevagissey, this double glazed, two storey apartment is one of five sympathetically and tastefully converted from a detached Georgian House.
