If you were looking for cottages like Boat Builders Cottage, how about trying these:

The ancient fishing port of Mevagissey has narrow streets winding between fishermen’s cottages, old smugglers’ haunts and seaside shops. Fishing boats unload on the harbourside (see photograph) while seagulls look on hopefully. In the centre of this thriving village is Boat Builders Cottage, a beautifully updated retreat from the bustle outside. Entering into the surprisingly spacious sitting/dining-room, the cottage has an immediate feel of warmth and welcome. Comfortable sofas face a wood-burner effect electric stove and steps from the dining-area lead to a well appointed kitchen. The bathroom is next to the kitchen, and open-tread stairs lead to the bedrooms, both overlooking the street below. Outside, stone steps give access to a small, south-facing patio (unfenced so please supervise children at all times), perfect for morning coffees or evening drinks. The picturesque harbour, coastal footpaths and village amenities are just yards away, and Heligan Gardens, historic Charlestown and the Eden Project are within five miles, so exploring from this lovely cottage is easy.
