Mousehole Seascapes

Located in a charming village in the southwest Cornwall National Landscape, this harbourside cottage with sea views is perfect for a relaxing coastal getaway. Base yourself in this traditional and homely property for a dog-friendly, family holiday with alfresco dining in the garden and cosy nights in with a movie. Enjoy the convenience of nearby shops and eateries while exploring the secluded bays, walking trails and historic attractions of Cornwall.

Step inside and find yourself in the neutral-toned open-plan lounge/diner with sea views and a white-washed beamed ceiling. A comfortable sofa and two plump armchairs surround the Smart TV, wood burner and bay window with a window seat. At the back of the room is a wooden dining table with four chairs. Continue into the contemporary kitchen with sparkling black countertops on the grey 'L'-shaped fitted unit. Climb the stairs in the hallway to reach a family bathroom and three bedrooms - a king-size and double with views of Mounts Bay plus a bunk bedroom. Outside you'll find a front terrace with furniture overlooking the harbour.

While staying in Mousehole, walk around the fishing port village to find a handful of seafood eateries, cosy cafes and quirky, independent shops (within 0.5 miles). Catch a boat from the harbour for a tour of the coastline from the water. Visit the nearby historical landmarks like The Cave (0.5 miles) and The Merry Maidens Stone Circle (4 miles). Head to Lamorna Cove Beach (3 miles) and follow the coastal trail to Tater-du Lighthouse (5 miles) and Boscawen Cliff (5 miles). For a classic seaside town day out, visit Newlyn (2 miles) or Penzance (3.5 miles). Not far from here is Marazion (10 miles), where you can cross the tidal causeway to the majestic St Michael's Mount.
