Calac Cottage
Description
This Cornish cottage is right in the heart of charismatic Mousehole. Perfectly positioned to relish every moment in this, famous, quaint fishing village. This south facing cottage is just a stroll to the quayside where locals swim, launch their kayaks and fishermen still land their daily catch of fresh mackerel, lobster and crab.
Come in from a busy day by the seaside, through the sunroom into a bright and cheerful living room, where the age-old features of shelved alcoves beside a granite stone fireplace still remain, adding traditional ambience and character. A partially glazed wall adds borrowed light to both this room and the kitchen, attractively fitted with pale sage cabinets adds to the cottage appeal. Paintings by local artists add bright splashes of colour to the pastel walls of three tastefully presented bedrooms, which adds versatility to the accommodation for four.
You'll find yourself wandering past the traditional cottages of Mousehole where several galleries, a general store, post office, two friendly inns, restaurants and cafes serving cream teas, are there to tempt you. The little harbourside sandy beach offers an idyllic spot for sketching and imaginative photography, and safe sheltered bathing. Within a short drive are both colourful Marazion and the sunny town of Penzance, bustling with attractive streets with antique and craft shops, pubs and eating houses. A hot spot not to miss is the stunning golden sand at Porthcurno Beach, with its fantastic Mediterranean feel. The popular Sennen beach, a paradise for surfers is only a short drive away. Parking at the cottage can sometimes be found in the vicinity or the harbour car park is within 150 yards.

What guests are saying
I don't really feel this property should have been let in it's current state.
It has had a roof leak at some point which has caused extensive damage to walls and ceiling. It also hadn't been cleaned particularly well. However, the bedding and towels were nice and clean and the bed was comfortable. Good location. Reasonable price
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Calac cottage in Mousehole.
The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were comfortable and everywhere was clean and tidy with plenty of space for our belongings. It was only a few minutes walk to the harbour and our granddaughter loved the tidal pool and the rock pools around it. The Ship Inn at the harbour and the Kings Arms in Paul are highly recommended for meals. Altogether an ideal place to stay to explore the SW of Cornwall.
Lovely comfortable cottage, great location within the village.
Only reason not 5 stars is that the kitchen items could do with a bit of extra attention cleaning wise, the cutlery, glasses and plates needed washing before being used, however, not something that would put us off booking again.
