Beautiful cottage

Stunning property in the heart of Mousehole. The cottage is beautifully presented and is immaculately clean. Very comfy beds with great views looking out to sea. Kitchen was well equipped including BBQ utensils etc. Our dog Wilson, loved it, especially with a couple of dog treats upon our arrival. Best place we have stayed in the UK.

Lovely cottage in a great location

Excellent location with great views. Cottage had everything you need for a relaxing stay. Mousehole is a quaint fishing village, not overcrowded and the harbour is picturesque with a pub (the ship) that serves good food and an excellent pint.

Lovely week in Mousehole Cottage

The location of this cottage is superb. Even though the weather was not the kindest, the cottage has great views of the sea and it was very atmospheric watching the wild sea from the upstairs window. Being just before the main village (but still only a 2 minute walk to the harbour) meant that there was no issue with having to get the car through the narrow streets. The parking space very close to the cottage is tight but enough for a Mercedes Estate. All the communication with Phay and the booking etc was very easy and clear. Thanks for a great week!

Lovely property. More information needed in relation to check in and access.

Great location and lovely house. Travelling with elderly parents it would have been beneficial to have known that access to the premises is via some steep steps and a narrow uneven unpaved alley. Additionally the placement of the key press is not ideal for all ages / physical conditions.

The location was our reason for choosing the cottage but the property was such a find! It was so comfortable, clean and everything you could wish for was provided. The added bonus was dedicated parking so nearby. We had a fabulous break and would definitely recommend this accommodation to anyone requiring a relaxing break in a lovely cottage.

Cornish Treat!

Lovely cottage, perfectly located in the beautiful fishing village of Mousehole. With private off-street parking and being so close to the harbour, this was a rare find that didn’t disappoint! With sea views and plenty of space for us all (4 adults and a lab), it was the perfect Cornish treat!

Beautiful Village and a fantastic cottage

Great cottage with a the perfect location in Mousehole and best of all it has easy parking. Inside the house is nicely fitted out and had plenty of room for the family with a couple of large sofas. Excellent location to day trips to the Cornish sights as well as a number of great costal walks if you don't fancy driving.

Summer week

We had thought about staying in Mousehole a number of times & we are really glad we did. The cottage was lovely & just perfect for our family of 4. The sofas are both big & comfortable which is always important to us & the only addition I can think of would be extra cushions although this may have been to do with the extra measures in place due to the pandemic. Although the weather was changeable we did manage to make use of the patio & it’s a lovely sunny addition to the property with the sea view. Although the overall feel of the holiday was strange due to the pandemic we will definitely be back for another visit. The biscuits & wine on arrival were a lovely addition.

Beautiful cottage tucked away from the road. Sea views and a parking space in Mousehole making it desirable and practical. Excellent comma from the owners added an extra special touch. The property is spotless and really gorgeous inside - in reality even better than the photos. A real delight.

Relaxing break in superb cottage

Lovely break in a beautifully converted traditional Cornish cottage. Welcomed with freshly baked scones, jam & clotted cream with a bottle of wine. Even the dog was left tasty biscuits & her own towel. Mousehole itself is quaint with countless cafes and art galleries but no traditional shops other than a post office selling a few groceries. Very regular bus service to local towns with the bus stop right outside the cottage . The parking space was a god send and also fantastic that did not need to drive through the narrow congested streets going through Mousehole. Good amenities,shops & beaches within a short driving distance. Trip to the Minack theatre was unmissable.

About the host

Hosted by Phay MacDowel

Host profile image
Mousehole Cottage was built by husband and wife team - Stylish Cornish Cottages. The cottage was built in 2008 and is finished to a high standard and comfortably appointed throughout. Stylish Cornish Cottages lovingly manage a small number of properties in West Cornwall, we own Mousehole Cottage so know the property inside out if you have any questions. We live in the area so can give you lots of locals advice and book any trips or experiences you might wish to participate in whilst on holiday in this wonderful part of Cornwall. Nothing is ever too much trouble when it comes to your holiday!

Why they chose this property

Built to a high standard it benefits from wonderful sea views, private parking which is rare in Mousehole and a lovely private garden. The cottage is located on the edge of the historic harbour, a stones throw from the harbour itself with its winding narrow lanes, net lofts, galleries and cafes. The location is beneficial as driving into Mousehole can be tricky in the summer, you have the benefit of parking at the cottage pottering around the village, but if you wish to explore further afield you can get out of Mousehole quickly and easily in your car. A car is not essential, Penzance mainline station is 3 miles away and buses run regularly from Penzance to Mousehole.

What makes this property unique

Sea Views, private garden and parking and just a stones throw from the picturesque harbour of Mousehole
