'Bacchus' Bed & Breakfast, Mevagissey

Mevagissey and the surrounding area

Many of our guests talk a walk in the evening and enjoy a meal or drink in one of the many restaurants and pubs in the village. There is a wide variety of shops, galleries and other attractions in the village. You can take a fishing trip for mackerel, pollock or mullet with one of our local fishmen - look for their signs by the harbour - or try a deep-sea trip for sharks ! Boats can be hired to allow you to explore the coast nearby or take the Mevagissey to Fowey ferry across St Austell Bay to discover the delights of Fowey with its yachting and literary connections.

While you're down on the harbourside, call in to the village's local attractions; Mevagissey Aquarium and Mevagissey Museum. They're both very interesting and well worth a visit. There's no entry fee, just a donation, please!
