If, like us, you do love to be beside the seaside, this is a great choice of holiday home. This gorgeous home can be found on the hill behind Mousehole, under a mile away, in the traditional village of Paul. There you’ll find a cosy pub and a 15th-century parish church – if you’re looking for authentic English charm, look no further. It’s in the heart of the Cornish countryside but still close to the coast, making it popular with hikers and surfers alike. We love Sennen beach for the waves, but Penzance is just as easy to get to if you prefer building sandcastles. The house has been recently refurbished with much love. Muted hues and natural textiles are key to the style of this laid-back, comfortable home-from-home. When you’re not lounging inside or dining at the farmhouse-style table, you’ll likely be enjoying the fabulous outside space. Let the kids tire themselves out playing on the lawn, in the Wendy house, on the swings, or playing table tennis. Meanwhile, you can slip into the hot tub with a glass of something bubbly and really start to unwind. Continue to enjoy the countryside views by dining alfresco – this is... what holidays are all about.

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...
