    “Perfect house in a magical location.”

    The cottage is beautifully decorated and with lots of local art and furnishings. Mousehole itself didn’t disappoint and the local shops and pubs are really lovely. Ideal spot to see that West part of Cornwall. We enjoyed the games provided and the supplies of milk, tea, coffee and biscuits. We would highly recommend anyone to stay at Mermaid Cottage.

The property

Resting a stone's throw away from Mousehole harbour in Cornwall is Mermaid Cottage, a charming and traditional fisherman's dwelling.

Within walking distance to a hub of amenities and the beach, Mermaid Cottage offers a lovely base for a family break, complete with stunning sea views, flexible sleeping arrangements, and well-equipped, self-catering accommodation.

Park up in a nearby public car park, before making your way to your new abode.

Start off your getaway in the open-plan living space, where you can unwind on the plush seating with the woodburning stove alight, prepare delicious meals in the fully-equipped kitchen area, and dine as a six over a bottle of wine; there's even a handy wine chiller to keep your drinks cool, perfect for serving.

As day turns into night, locate the bathroom, and enjoy an indulgent soak in the free-standing bath, or if you'd prefer a refreshing shower, make use of the walk-in shower facilities.

Catch some rest from one of three well-appointed bedrooms, selecting between a twin (zip/link), a second-floor king-size, and a second-floor bunk room.

Complete your morning routine before heading into the village, where you'll locate a deli and supermarket, 2 Fore Street Restaurant, and the Four Teas Cafe Mousehole, all easing your stay.

Travel along the coast to reach Newlyn Tolcarne Beach, where you'll also be welcomed by the Newlyn Art Gallery, worth a visit if you’re an art fan, whilst further attractions and amenities lie in Penzance, across the harbour.

By car reach St Ives, a prime Cornish town, where you can dine with coastal views in the backdrop, stroll along Porthgwidden Beach, people watch from St Ives Harbour, and tour the Tate St Ives gallery, whilst keen hikers will relish in the chance to discover the Penwith Heritage Coast, and the breath-taking vantage point of Land's End.

Experience all of this, and more, at Mermaid Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

MOUSEHOLE

Penzance 4 miles; St Ives 12 miles.

A delightful fishing village nestled on a hillside and spilling down to the shore. The picturesque harbour, surrounded by its maze of winding narrow streets, draws visitors from miles around, while in the distance St Michael's Mount stands proudly in the centre of Mounts Bay. A fabulous coastline and miles of spectacular walking characterise the area, with seabirds, seals and wild headlands leading just around the corner to Land's End. The Minack cliff-top theatre is a few miles along the coast, while reminders of the region's ancient past in the form of Dolmens and standing stones appear everywhere. St Ives, with its stunning beaches, beautiful harbour and narrow winding streets is just 12 miles away.

The cottage can only accommodate a maximum of 4 adults, as the bunk beds are for under 12’s only.
