An irate tourist has suggested a historic 16th century village undergo a complete revamp after having a miserable time on holiday.
The livid holidaymaker, who posted anonymously on TripAdvisor, has managed to annoy a large portion of Mevagissey's population with their comments.
The 131-word critique said that the historic location, of which the harbour alone dates back to 1774, should undergo a complete revamp to accommodate those who didn't quite like the layout, Cornwall Live reported.
The tourist left a measly one out of five rating, simply titling their review 'awful'.
"Nothing but avoiding cars as they drive around the streets to ridiculously positioned car parks," they wrote.
"With two small children and a dog it was impossible to comfortably wall around the place without having to step out of the way every few minutes because of a car. Stressed me out so much we left.
"Not a visitor friendly place at all.
"Almost nowhere to sit out on the harbour. Plus hardly any dog friendly places to eat. There are almost no places with outside seating if you want to dine outside. Probably because of the constant passing cars.
"Whole place needs a redesign. Plenty of places just outside the main part they could put more parking.
"The gift shops just had any old crap you can buy anywhere in the UK. Don't bother."
Famous for its two harbour walls, picturesque cottages and fishing boats bobbing up and down on the water inside the two inner harbours, it is no surprise that Mevagissey is usually swamped with tourists over the summer.
While business may be an issue, one thing people rarely complain about is the design which, understandably, and to nobody's surprise, won't be changed any day soon.
Cornwall councillor for the area, James Mustoe, found the review as bemusing as most locals.
He wrote: "Very disappointed indeed that they didn't design the 16th century fishing port to take into account the development of motor cars and the prevalence of tourism hundreds of years later."
Others shared in the humorous aspect of the remarks. One said: "During the redesign can they perhaps build the whole harbour about one metre higher to cope with those pesky spring tides?"
Another added: "Yep better to bulldoze the entire village to keep this Karen happy." Another wrote:
"Why go to Cornwall if you are looking for wide modern roads. It’s hardly a secret that Cornwall is quaint, quirky, old and BEAUTIFUL! Let’s hope they don’t feel the need to ever return!"
