Mousehole cottage

A cosy cottage that sleeps 6 guests right on the waterfront in Mousehole nestled in an enviable location boasting uninterrupted coastal views. This traditional three-bedroom cottage retains much of its original character and charm promising a sweet spot for keen coastal explorers. The picturesque small fishing village of Mousehole less than 0.5 miles away comprises narrow lanes of small shops, galleries and cafes with old fisherman’s cottages, home to a small, sandy and safe beach located within the shelter of the harbour (0.5 miles). Stroll along part of The South West Coast Path, a huge 630-mile National Trail through the south-west, from Mousehole to Lamorna Cove 3 miles away, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with stunning views of the valley and pebbled beach. Off the coast of Marazion, discover the famous St Michael’s Mount 9 miles away, a rocky island crowned by a medieval church and castle, home to a living community and breathtaking views.

Through the front door, you’re welcomed into the cosy living room featuring a super comfortable jumbo cord sofa and chairs nestled next to a characterful exposed brick chimney breast housing a charming wood burner. Following the exposed ebony beam ceiling further through the cottage you’re met with a farmhouse-style dining room featuring a spacious wooden dining table and matching wooden dresser adorned with cute crockery. The kitchen occupies the width of the rear of the cottage, kitted out with everything to cater as well as a feature double sink and neutral wooden cupboards. Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious king-size room with a handy wash basin, more exposed brickwork and a magnificent king-size four-poster bed dressed with a quirky floral fabric canopy. A wash basin is also featured in the double bedroom and twin bedroom, which also benefit from stunning sea views out to the harbour. The nautical-themed bathroom features a shower over a wooden panelled bath and WC.

The front garden benefits from a lawned area with mature planted borders, tall traditionally seaside trees and vast coastal views. There is also a rear courtyard ideal for storing beach equipment.
