Mariners Cottage

Mousehole, Cornwall

Mousehole, a charming village located on the south coast of Cornwall, has a rich history as a bustling fishing port until the mid-16th century. Nestled between Penzance and Land's End, this picturesque locale features narrow, winding streets adorned with an array of small shops, galleries, and restaurants. The village's iconic harbour is flanked by traditional granite cottages and is well-protected from the ocean's storms by two substantial breakwaters, contributing to its unique coastal character.

Mariner's Cottage stands as a testament to Mousehole's maritime heritage, being an original 17th-century fisherman’s residence. The cottage boasts a delightful whitewashed exterior and offers breathtaking views from every sea-facing window. Recently refurbished, the interior combines coastal-inspired décor with authentic features, creating an inviting and chic atmosphere. Spread over three floors, the cottage includes two beautifully appointed bedrooms, with a master bedroom on the first floor and a twin room on the upper level, both furnished with high-quality linen and large sash windows that frame stunning ocean vistas.

The open-plan living area on the ground floor is designed in calming neutral tones, seamlessly integrating a well-equipped kitchen with a cozy sitting area. Here, guests can relax on the inviting sofa and occasional chairs around a fabulous wood-burning stove, perfect for cooler evenings. A stable door leads to a lovely enclosed garden at the water's edge, offering expansive views over Mount's Bay towards St Michael's Mount and Lizard Point. This outdoor space is comfortably furnished, making it an ideal spot for al fresco dining or enjoying a glass of bubbly while watching the sunset over the water.

It is important to note that Mariner's Cottage is not suitable for children under the age of 10 due to a low wall that separates the terrace from a steep drop to the water's edge. This property, accommodating up to four guests with its two bedrooms, provides a tranquil retreat with a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort, all while being situated in the idyllic setting of Mousehole.
