Property code: OC-GWYLAN

A breezy stone cottage offering tranquil harbourfront views across the port of Mousehole on the West Cornish Coast. This elegant abode is the perfect base for family getaways or a seaside escape with old friends. Set sail from the harbour (200 metres) and glide alongside the beautifully rugged coastline of Mount’s Bay learning tales from a local skipper, before kicking back with fresh bakes and tea in the elegant lounge.

This Grade II-listed property blends historic features with sleek beach house charm. Picture exposed beams, earthy rattan textures, crisp neutral tones, and playful nautical styling. Unravel outer layers at the door then step into the airy lounge. Sink onto the plump sofas to sip a sparkling aperitif. In cooler months, curl up beneath a plush blanket and bask it the warmth of the electric wood burner. If you’re in the mood to cook, head into the well-equipped kitchen complete with granite work-surfaces. Whip up a hearty evening feast then dine around the wooden table bathed in the glow from the hanging light. Rinse off sandy toes in the shower room before ascending the staircase to the bedrooms. Choose from a stylish king and a bright double each with crisp linens and coordinated soft furnishings. Little ones can escape to the sunny single room with a trundle bed to accommodate an extra guest. Step out and enjoy a gentle morning stroll along the picturesque harbour or scope out the selection of fabulous beaches nearby.

Amble through the narrow streets of Mousehole (within 100 metres) to scope out the best local brunch spots serving up cooked breakfasts and frothy coffees. Peruse the work of a local Cornish artist with a jaunt to The Mowzer Gallery (within 100 metres) then embark on a scenic stroll to the pebbly crescent of beach at Lamorna Cover (2.5 miles).

Probably the best Cornwall cottage we have ever stayed in, super location, well appointed, spotlessly clean and good information supplied.

An extremely comfortable, light, and well equipped Holiday Cottage. It was a delight to have been able to stay at Gwylan. We would have liked to stay longer.

My husband and I had a lovely week at this delightful cottage, chosen for its location in the centre of Mousehole and views of the harbour. The views from two of the bedrooms are stunning. The cottage is very well equipped for self-catering, the kitchen has everything you could need, the living room is cosy and the bed that we used was very comforRead moretable. It was nice to have two bathrooms with the choice of walk-in shower or a bath with overhead shower. The only downside for us was the difficulty of getting our luggage and assorted bags to the property from the South Quay car park. Theres a well stocked and reasonably priced deli nearby (No 1 Deli). Mousehole is a lovely location for a quiet break and we would definitely return. Were already missing the sea views. Hide

We felt at home the moment we arrived. Nothing was spared. The bedding, decor and views were just fabulous as was the close proximity to the village. Couldve stayed longer.

What a beautiful cottage, so complete and nicely decorated. Very clean. It is like coming home. Everything you can think of is there plus welcome gift. Fantastic views of the harbour, very cozy place. No terrace but there is a bench in front of the cottage near the water where you can sit, eat, drink and enjoy.

Wow wow wow! Do you want a stunningly well equipped cottage in the heart of Mousehole? Stop looking because you've just found it. We spent 5 days at Gwylan House for Christmas. On arrival the property had clearly been specially prepared and decorated for Christmas which was a brilliant little touch. It was very near the harbour (you can hear the waRead moreves when lying in bed), less than 5 minutes walk to the Ship so perfect to base yourself out of. The cottage is a home from home with everything you need. Beautiful bathroom facilities, power showers which put the fire brigade to shame, comfortable beds and lots of little extras that just make you feel more at home. Sometimes you stay in a holiday home an the fitment is 'okay for a week' but from the kitchen, the the bathrooms, through the beds, this is property which has been prepared to a stunningly high standard. In the living room we found a cupboard full of games and even a pair of binoculars for looking out whilst one of the bedrooms had a great selection of reading material. Hide

Our first trip to Mousehole and were unbelievably lucky with the weather - 6 nights and the best sunshine of the last 2 months! The cottage is beautifully presented and really tasteful decor and artwork. We went to see Evita at the Minnack which was amazing and have just had a memorable holiday with lots of laughter (and too much wine and food!).

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Gwylan House. The house is beautifully decorated and very well equipped. We stayed from the 27th Dec-3rd Jan and were thrilled to see that there was a Christmas tree twinkling away in the lounge window when we arrived. The bottle of prosecco and mince pies on arrival were a lovely touch. There was plenty of hot wateRead morer and fluffy towels. The shower in the utility room was very powerful. We arrived when it was dark so the village was lit up with the beautiful harbour lights. Definitely worth a visit and will definitely be coming back again. Thank you so much for a lovely, comfortable stay. I fell in love with Gwylan House and Mousehole and didnt want to leave! Hide
