Overview
Property code: OC-KELLAN

This charming and unique cottage enjoying an excellent seafront position in Mousehole is ideal for families or friends looking for a peaceful haven in one of the most scenic parts of the Cornish coastline. Mousehole is quintessentially Cornish and a working fishing village with the harbour less than 300 metres away. Here you can watch the boats coming and going throughout the day. The village has plenty of eateries where you can enjoy the freshest local produce.

A spacious property set over two floors that has been lovingly decorated with local artwork. You’ll find many social spaces on the ground floor, including a library with a wide selection of books, comfortable seats, a Smart TV, and a baby grand piano. It is a perfect home-from-home. On the ground floor is a spacious living/dining area with large comfortable sofas and armchairs in which to unwind. Throw a log on the open fire in the cooler months and enjoy the harbour views from the windows. The kitchen has everything you need, and a handy shower room completes the downstairs. On the first floor, you’ll find a family bathroom and three bedrooms - two king-size and a single - all with lovely sea views. Also on the first floor is a shower room, a single bedroom, and a double room, both with French doors that lead to a balcony with access to the courtyard. Outside, enjoy the central courtyard with its table and seating, ideal for breakfast or an evening sundowner.

Discover the unique local culture with visits to Carn Euny Ancient Village (7 miles) and The Merry Maidens Stone Circle (4 miles). For nature lovers there are two beautiful gardens to explore at Trengwainton (6 miles) and Tremenheere (7 miles). Further afield, enjoy a day on the sandy beach at Marazion Beach (9 miles), perfect for sandcastles and water sports and views to the historic St Michael’s Mount.

This cottage is amazing, beautiful location. Lying in bed watching the stunning sunrise will stay for some time. Lovely memories of such a lovely space, plenty of room for two families to be together and be separate. The lounge and then library/den were great spaces to be together.

Excellent location. Wonderful views. Comfortable beds. Well equipped. However the shower over the bath is only a dribble!!! The window in the bathroom would only open an inch. The Piano room, one of the reasons we booked this cottage, as both my husband and adult daughter play the piano. Fantastic view from the sitting room!!. Mousehole is a beRead moreautiful place, this cottage is in an enviable position and very quirky but obviously in need of some building work to maintain it and sort out the damp.

An extensive well appointed property in a superb location which is ideal for an extended family group or a large party. We were all amazed as to how big the property was on the inside yet was quaint from the outside. All our party said they would have no hesitation booking this property again if staying in Mousehole.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Kellan. It has a fabulously quirky property and the library and piano were extremely welcome. The location on the seafront and by the car park unrivalled. The cottage is very well equipped, warm and homely. We hope to return.

We love this cottage and have stayed there twice. The views from the living room, and bedrooms are spectacular. Uninterrupted views of the sea, and St Michaels Mount in the distance.

The view of the ocean was amazing and the sound of the waves crashing just outside added to the houses character. The Kellan was well stocked and the beds very comfortable. There was lots of room for our entire group. Great place to stay and access other villages around the coast. We enjoyed our stay.
