About this home

Though it’s been updated with contemporary furnishings and amenities, you can easily discern the home’s history with its old stone walls, wood-burning stove, and the exposed wooden trusses that adorn the bedroom’s ceilings.

An outdoor balcony on the roof connects to two of the bedrooms, making it the perfect spot for a morning breakfast or cup of tea.

We love the living area’s enormous bay window that looks onto the sea – a view that goes hand in hand with a bottle of wine in front of the fire or a good book.

Mousehole offers plenty of options for eateries, including traditional pubs and tearooms, but on nights when you just fancy a home-cooked meal, the kitchen is fully equipped.

Dine at the rustic wooden table, then head out for an evening walk along the harbour wall and watch the waves crash.

Tomorrow you can walk the Coastal Path to the Tater Du Lighthouse, or take a scenic drive to the nearby towns of Newlyn, St Michael’s Mount or charming St Ives.

If you prefer to stay in Mousehole, wander the shops and enchanting streets of this quiet seaside town before returning it’s time to hit the beach again.

Worth knowing: there is no allocated parking at the property however there are four on-street parking spaces just outside the property. These spaces are free of charge but are on a first come first served basis.

Several council car parks can be found all around Mousehole – to find out more about these click here.
