The property is also beautifully positioned to watch on a daily basis while relaxing in a comfy garden chair, the Mevagissey fishing fleet as they come and go, as well as the larger yachts, tankers and sailing craft, as they pass that bit further out to sea, as well as the odd cruise ship in a blue moon and maybe some dolphins or the local resident seal!
