The Wheel House - A harbourfront bed and breakfast with sea views, free WiFi, and proximity to coastal trails
The Wheel House provides guesthouse accommodations with complimentary wired internet access, a bar, and free private parking. Rooms feature a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a kettle, a walk-in shower, and a hairdryer, with selected rooms offering a kitchenette (microwave, toaster, fridge). Guests can choose between a continental or full English breakfast and dine onsite at the restaurant, which serves fresh Cornish seafood and fare. The property is steps from the South West Coast Path and less than 2 minutes from Mevagissey Harbour, with the Lost Gardens of Heligan (2 km), Porthluney Cove, and Caerhays Castle nearby. The three guest rooms-including a deluxe double with king bed-all have harbour views, while Cobblestone Cottage accommodates families with two bedrooms and self-catering facilities. The Wheel House also offers luggage storage and wedding services, with Newquay Cornwall Airport 35 km away.
Pros
The harbourfront location provides direct access to the South West Coast Path and views of daily harbour activity.
The restaurant serves locally sourced seafood and meats, complemented by a choice of breakfast options.
Self-catering options, such as Cobblestone Cottage, offer flexibility for families or longer stays.
“Right on the harbour, the location alone makes it a winner. The spacious rooms are more like well-equipped apartments, complete with kitchen and living area. I especially appreciate the comfortable beds and up-to-date decor; plus the friendly welcome adds to the appeal.”
