Introduction

Blue Waters is a semi-detached house built in the 1930’s set in a terrace of 10 similar homes. Battery Terrace is ideally situated as it has vehicular access and also harbour & seaward views. It is accessed by road via Cliff Street which at one point is reduced to a single lane but there are passing places.

Pre-Arrival

• Directions can be found via our new website www.bluewatersmevagissey.co.uk both in text and on a google map. However we also send written directions to our guests approx 4 weeks before the start of their holiday.
• Photos of property, views and rooms are all available to view on our website, www.bluewatersmevagissey.co.uk, in our colour brochure and available upon request via email.
• Availability details are published on our website with a direct link to make bookings or raise any enquiries. Bookings can also be made direct with the owner via telephone, email or in writing.
• The nearest bus stop is down in the village of Mevagissey, approximately 5 mins down and 15 back up as there are either steps or a short steep incline up to Battery Terrace. At present two bus companies service Mevagissey.
• The nearest Railway Station is at St. Austell which is on the main Penzance-Paddington line. Buses run direct from the Railway Station to Mevagissey, usually every hour.

Arrival & Car Parking Facilities

• As stated above access to Blue Waters is via a short steep hill called Cliff Street, half way down this street Battery Terrace is signposted on the left hand side, the terrace of houses is on the left hand side and Blue Waters is the fifth one along.

  Parking spaces are directly opposite the property. There are three parking spaces designated for Blue Waters, one for our guests and two for the owners' use, however use of additional spaces can be negotiated.

  It should be noted that although the spaces are of good size, extreme care should be taken when manoeuvring into the spaces as although there is a buffer along the edge of the parking bays there is a drop down into the owner's garden.
