This 17th Century fisherman's cottage reveals unrivalled sea-facing views as far as the eye can see. Whether you're in the living room, bedrooms or indeed out on the terrace, prepare to be blown away by the soothing ambience of living by the sea. The inside of the home offers countryside interiors with a modern twist. Grandfather chairs, cosy blankets, exposed stone and a wood-burning stove provide a warming place to snuggle up in after a day of exploring the Cornish coastline. Pick up some fish and chips on the way home and tuck in at the dining table outside – you'll definitely want to be home for sunset. Enjoy a glass of bubbly while watching as the balmy sky paints a colourful picture over the horizon. Wander the narrow winding streets of Mousehole – lined with boutiques, galleries and restaurants. With the fishing port, only a seven-minute walk away as well as surf beaches galore around this part of Cornwall, you'll be based in a dream coastal spot for a quintessential English seaside experience.
