Treat yourselves to a relaxing stay at this inviting cottage in the delightful former Cornish fishing village of Mousehole. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom holiday home is situated close to the harbour, within reach of the village’s shops, galleries and eateries. It is also well located for afternoons out on sandy beaches and long walks along the rugged coastline. With a courtyard for outside dining and a wood burner for cosy nights in, this is also the perfect place to relax during your downtime.

Head into the cottage to find beautifully renovated accommodation with an airy, modern feel throughout. The ground-floor here has an open-plan layout, enabling you to spread out to unwind, cook and dine together all in one seamlessly flowing space. Light the wood burner in the lounge area then settle down to watch TV or listen to music. Whip up tasty dishes with fresh, local ingredients in the kitchen area then call everyone over to the table. When eyelids begin to droop, climb the stairs to the first floor, where there is a double bedroom and a twin. There is also a family bathroom up here. Spend summer mornings having breakfast or coffee out in your private courtyard. Cook supper on the BBQ out here too on summer evenings. There is parking here for one car.

Amble less than 100 metres down to the sea and the harbour, where there is a small, family-friendly sandy beach. Have a day out to pretty Lamorna Cove Beach, 3 miles away. Keen walks can follow the South West Coast for 1.5 miles to reach the cove. Drive 8 miles to the beach at Marazion. From here you can cross the causeway to St Michael’s Mount when the tide is out. Visit the Newlyn Art Gallery, 2 miles from the cottage.

The cottage was delightful, perfectly situated in the village and with the huge advantage of a dedicated parking space. Local shops and food outlets were in easy walking distance, as was the harbour. The range of cookware, crockery and utensils was the best we have ever seen in our decades of renting holiday homes. The kitchen appliances includedRead more ceramic hob, oven, decent size fridge, dishwasher and washing machine. We couldn't have asked for more! Comfortable beds, a large bathroom with both shower and bath was everything we needed. Noise was minimal except for the seagulls who were fledging their chicks, but you expect that in a seaside village. We'll certainly consider coming again. Hide

Great semidetached house very close to Mousehole harbour and its own car parking space. Fully equipped with everything required.

It's a good solid cottage and the parking, for a hatchback size vehicle, is great. Literally yards from Mousehole harbour and many facilities.

The cottage is well positioned with easy access on foot to the harbour etc. It was a real bonus to have dedicated parking included. All in all this cottage was great value for money.

Wonderful cottage with parking (very rare in Mousehole) in the heart of the village close to the beach and all amenities. The cottage is very well equipped and the friendly owners are on hand to ensure your stay is perfect. We stayed for 3 weeks and extra bed linen, towels, bath mat etc. were provided in such a well organised way. The management ofRead more the cottage is impeccable, they have thought of everything. A warm welcome and we felt totally at home here. Would highly recommend. Hide

The cottage was a home away from home. The parking space was a saviour in a location where parking is not easy to find and it was very close to the harbour and restaurants/pubs. Thank you.
