Property code: OC-SEAHOR

As charming and quaint as they come, lose yourself at this quintessentially Cornish cottage boasting plenty of characterful original features combined with extra special contemporary touches everywhere you look, a stone’s throw from the delights of Mousehole’s iconic harbour and the breathtaking seaside scenery of West Cornwall.

After a long day exploring your stunning surroundings, follow the warmth of the roaring wood burner into the cosy first-floor lounge to unwind on the comfy sofas and enjoy the ultimate family film night in front of the Smart TV. When hungry tummies start to rumble, head downstairs to the contemporary farmhouse-style kitchen/diner to whip up a hearty feast with the local produce you’ve collected and make special family memories seated around the rustic dining table nestled beneath the impressive exposed wooden beams. Take a long soak in the gorgeous free-standing bath in the family bathroom before retiring to either of the two beautifully presented bedrooms for a well-earned rest. Soak up distant sea views and the fresh, coastal air by dining alfresco on the driftwood decking in the south-facing suntrap courtyard before admiring some breathtaking sunsets melting over the bay.

West of the market town of Penzance, the picturesque village of Mousehole retains its fishing village charm and character, boasting a maze of bustling narrow streets lined with independent shops, cafes and restaurants showcasing the best local produce this area has to offer. Uncover the area’s true natural beauty by joining the South West Coastal Path to journey along the cliff-tops to Lamorna 3.5 miles away to be rewarded with breathtaking views of a picture-perfect sheltered rocky cove at the foot of a wooded valley. Further afield, discover The Minack 9 miles away, a spectacular open-air theatre with superb sea views out to Porthcurno Bay and the Lizard Peninsula.

A beautiful cottage for 4 that far outstripped our expectations. We have been to Cornwall many times and this is the most well-equipped and furnished property that we have stayed at. The lovely, sunny back garden is such a bonus. Very close to the harbour and easy to park in the nearby public car park (albeit avoid trying to find a space in the midRead moredle of the day). This is the best holiday we have had in years and we will certainly be back, thank you! Hide

Absolutely stunning super cosy airbnb with all the home comforts and more. Lovely surprise to arrive with the house decorated for xmas and the ability to enjoy a lovely log fire in the evening after a day hiking. Added bonus was being able to watch the NY fireworks from living room windows. Right in the heart of the village just a minute walk from Read morethe harbou where you will find a pub, deli and 2/3 restaurants. Grocery shopping in nearby newly/penzance Hide

We enjoyed our stay in Mousehole; it was a delight to explore the nooks and crannies in the village despite our shock at the high percentage of holiday homes and what we felt, was a distinct London influence. The cottage itself was well equipped, containing items from quality brands. It is, evidently, a second home with an amount of family clutterRead more but to most visitors this would probably present as a cosy home from home. We particularly welcomed the courtyard which seemed to be a bonus commodity in a village where outside space is at a premium. Future travellers need to be aware that, in the summer months there is no on-street parking close by; we walked to and from Paul, where we parked our car, every morning and evening. It is difficult to secure a space in the Pay and display parking, which is very expensive and not a lot closer to the cottage than the next village! Hide

The cottage is located on a pretty pedestrian lane with a lot of floral displays along the edges. This leads directly to the harbour about 50m away. The courtyard garden is tranquil, with a table and chairs for dining and other furniture for relaxing. The interior was beautifully styled and spotlessly clean.

The cottage is delightful and equipped to the highest standard for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The outside decking area is also private and provided with seating and dining furniture. The owners seemed to have thought of everything you could need for a perfect holiday with lots of information on the area and what to do. The kitchen on thRead moree bottom floor was very well equipped including a dining area and small tv and comfortable seating. The Lounge on the middle floor was a great place to relax in the evening. The two bedrooms on the upper floor, with the main bathroom and shower, were again beautifully decorated and comfortable. The harbour is a few minutes walk with good options for dining, walking and generally enjoying watching the world go by. Hide
