Great location. Good facilities.
We didn't like the polycotton bed linen.
The whole house was very cold on arrival and took a day to warm up once the temperatures on the heaters were raised. The storage radiators then heated up during the night which made bedrooms too warm at night.
There was no wardrobe or clothes hanging facility in the main bedroom and no chair to sit at to dry hair or put on make up. I had to take one from the kitchen.
A non slip mat should be available to use in the shower, and maybe a grab rail somewhere to help older people get out of the bath safely.
The grill pan wasn't clean - greasy residue and food left on it. We didn't use the oven.

Close proximity to Mevagissey harbour
Next door property rooms are over this one

Very nicely decorated house, clean, welcoming and with all of the facilities and items needed for our week long stay. Kitchen was well stocked with all we needed to cater for the week. The hosts left cream tea items for us which was lovely, and there are a number of unexpected, nice touches in the house - for example extra blankets/throws in the lounge for more cosy evenings.
The location is very handy to walk into Mevagissey harbour, and there are plenty of pubs, restaurants and takeaways within a few minute walk. Car parking is 30 seconds walk away, and an extra £8 per day.
Previous reviews mentioned the shower as an issue, but we found it perfect - perhaps it had been replaced since.
We found the economy 7 heating quite hard to understand or adjust, with no obvious instructions. Adjusting the thermostat temperature on each radiator was easy to do, but this seemed to take a couple of days to have any effect - albeit quite a small effect. The outside temperature during our stay meant this was not a real issue, though it may be more of a problem in the colder months.
There was an additional oil fired radiator (and a cooling fan) supplied by the hosts which was useful.

Position was great and all the facilities were good
Storage heaters were difficult to work out so was quite chilly at times
