Honeycombe House
About
Honeycombe House is a charming Victorian bed‑and‑breakfast perched on the top of Polkirt Hill in the picturesque fishing village of Mevagissey, Cornwall. The house offers sweeping 180°‑degree views over the inner and outer harbours, the green Cornish countryside and the rugged St. Austell Bay, making it a perfect base for explorers of the South West coast. Each room is a cosy double with a king‑size bed, en‑suite shower and a private balcony that frames the harbour – guests can choose rooms such as Victoria or Albert for the best vistas. A warm café‑style breakfast is served in a sunny conservatory that boasts one of the best views in Cornwall, with a recent addition of a locally‑sourced organic menu featuring Cornish sausage, smoked salmon, and a secret‑ingredient crown crumpet. The property is conveniently located within a short drive of the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the world‑famous Eden Project and the National Maritime Museum at Falmouth, while a wide range of cafés, shops and the World of Model Railways can be explored right in the village. With its historic architecture, relaxed atmosphere and easy access to popular attractions, Honeycombe House offers a memorable stay for families, couples and nature lovers alike.
