This perfectly formed cottage in Mousehole is the kind of place you'll want to cosy up for a fireside hot chocolate after a day of hiking along the coastline or swimming at the local beaches. Offering plenty of room to spread out and catch up in the living and dining areas, it is a space that provides a sociable ambience or a peaceful setting where the group can take moments of solitude if needed. Perch on the window seat with a good book in hand. Or better still, when the weather is being kind make your way outside to take in the fresh sea air. Open up. the patio doors and step out onto the driftwood-decked courtyard with outdoor seating, barbecue and a space to keep surfboards and bikes. While the dreamy ocean views are best seen from the upstairs bedrooms, the tranquil patio garden is a wonderfully secluded spot to make the most of the sunshine in privacy. Then, of course, there is the beach, and an array of pubs, shops and eateries positioned just half a mile away from your central address in Mousehole.

About Mousehole
This tiny Cornish fishing village packs an unexpected arty punch. Set on the hills above Mousehole Harbour, its winding, cottage-filled streets feature four art galleries. The surrounding area is known for its creativity, with many artists having lived in the nearby communities. Perhaps it’s the beautiful coastline, dramatic woodlands, or the coastal walks where clifftops seem to be blanketed in a colourful coat of yellow gorse, green ferns and purple...
