Overview
Property code: MOUSE

At the heart of one of Cornwall's most picturesque villages lies Mary's Loft, an adorable cottage which makes for a perfect romantic retreat. The cosy three-storey property is located on a quiet street in Mousehole, one of Cornwall's most historic fishing villages, maintaining incomparable character, charm and beauty, dating back to 1266. Open the bedroom curtains to sights of the sea, then step out of the front door to the soft sounds of a working fishing port, salty air fresh on your face.

The nautical-themed interior mirrors this, with understated wooden furniture and an aquatic colour scheme alluding to your seafaring setting. Enjoy cooking and dining in the spacious kitchen, or relaxing in the airy lounge, before venturing out into your serene surroundings. Return home to drift off under crisp sheets and rustic exposed ceiling beams.

You're never far from one of Cornwall's most beautiful beaches, with Sennen Cove, Porthcurno and Porthminster all within a 12-mile drive. The South West Coast Path is on your doorstep too, the tracks of which can take you across fields and woodland, as well as offering beautiful sea views. The village itself has a good range of pubs, restaurants, galleries and local craft shops for you to explore, while the gorgeous harbour (famed for its outstanding Christmas lights display), offers sweeping views across Mount's Bay to St Michael's Mount.

A very cosy cottage, well equipped and clean. We enjoyed the local pubs and restaurants as well as sundowners on the harbour benches. A lovely holiday.

The cottage is conveniently located for easy walking access to the village. It is very clean and well equipped. Public parking is problematic and be prepared to visit the neighbouring village for food shopping. There are a couple of excellent restaurants and a welcoming pub for eating out.

Marys Loft is a really quaint little cottage. Very cosy & comfortable. Well equipped & very clean. The "cream tea" we found in the fridge was very welcome & a lovely gesture. Great sea view from the bedroom. Easy access to the harbour, beach & local walks. Great bus & train service to local towns. Would definitely love to stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Mary's loft. It was very well equipped and the view of the sea from the bedroom window was a bonus. The scones, jam and cream were lovely. Mousehole is a beautiful village and we hope to return later in the year.

Lovely wee cottage in the village. Very cosy and clean. Be prepared to pay for parking as parking in the complete village is more or less restricted to payable car parks. But 5 pound for 24 hrs is great value. Local eateries are few and very expensive. Suggest a visit to Lidles in Penzance.

Lovely cottage right in the centre of Mousehole. Very comfortable with everything you need plus more. We would re book this cottage if available as we want/need to go back. Mousehole is wonderful!!

I'm not a person that's impressed easily. My wife will verify that. But the cottage was perfect. It was a weeks anniversary holiday for us. The weather was terrible, but the dramma added to the views of the sea. I would recommend the cottage to anyone. And so many other great places to visit in the surrounding area.
