Mousehole Seaview Retreat

This beautiful 200-year-old stone cottage with spectacular sea views is perfect for families as it has a secret bunk room just off the family bathroom aptly named 'The Mousehole'. Located on the South West Coast Path above the pretty fishing village of Mousehole, it is an excellent base for walking holidays or a lovely space to unwind. You can walk to the village of Mousehole (0.5 miles) and explore its traditional shops, eateries and local art galleries.

This characterful property is set over two levels and is bright and inviting with white-washed stone walls and exposed beams. Original doors hint at the cottage's rustic past, while contemporary furnishing and decor bring a relaxed comfort. On the ground floor is a lovely Sunroom with seating, a perfect hideaway for reading a book, while the lounge is a sociable space with sofas and a Smart TV. There is a kitchen with everything you need to prepare memorable meals, and a shower room rounds out the ground floor features. On the first floor, you'll find a bathroom and three bedrooms – one king-size and one twin, with sea views, and “The Mousehole" (accessed through the bathroom) with bunk beds. Outside at the front is seating to enjoy the gorgeous view, while the rear terraced gardens with outdoor furniture overlook the countryside and across Mount's Bay and the Lizard.

Less than 10 miles is the beautiful sand of Marazion Beach, with a view across the cobbled causeway to St Michael's Mount, one of Cornwall's most iconic attractions. Alternatively, visit the picturesque village and stunning turquoise sea at Porthcurno (9 miles) and book tickets ahead at the famous outdoor Minack Theatre. A perfect family day out is at Paradise Park and Jungle Barn (13 miles), with activities for every age and an indoor play area if the weather is wet.
