“Fabulous stay!!”

Me and my boyfriend stayed here in the summer and had such an incredible time! The cottage went above and beyond expectations. As soon as we arrived it was clear that a lot of thought, love and care had gone into the place - the cottage was immaculate, very clean and tidy.

Me and my boyfriend stayed here in the summer and had such an incredible time! The cottage went above and beyond expectations. As soon as we arrived it was clear that a lot of thought, love and care had gone into the place - the cottage was immaculate, very clean and tidy. We were greeted with a complimentary cream tea which went down a treat. The decor and little touches made the stay so comfortable and enjoyable. We slept like babies - the bed is so comfy. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need to make your stay feel like a home from home experience. Not to mention the stunning views!! The location is perfect - only a short walk away from pubs, cafes and art galleries! We would 100% recommend this cottage if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway. It’s fabulous! We can’t wait to return next year.

“We came home after one night.”

The accommodation is totally unsuitable for older people or those with young children. The stairs are treacherous and steep. This is not made clear in the advertisement.

- Mrs Strattan, May 2021

Thank you very much for your feedback, we are very sorry that you struggled with the property. As a traditional fishermans cottage we are especially careful to highlight within the description that there are three floors within the property, that there is steep access and that it may not be suitable for the infirm or elderly. Children under the age of 6 are not permitted at the property. As you can see by the many positive reviews, most people feel the description is accurate and have a great time here. We are sorry though that you missed this and we will review the descriptions to see if we can make it even clearer moving forward. We’re sorry you were disappointed on this occasion and hope you will return to Cornwall in future. Owner relations

“Mole cottage is like a home from home.”

It is furnished to a high standard, spotlessly clean and has everything you could possibly need during your holiday. The little touches make a difference. We were really grateful for the cream tea, biscuits and fresh milk left for us, thankyou very much. It’s a lovely cosy and welcoming place to stay, we had a fantastic stay in mole cottage and Mousehole.

“A beautiful house set in the heart of Mousehole.”

Would definitely recommend !

- Mrs Hanson, August 2020
Mr Richardson August 2020

“Our holiday in Mousehole Cornwall was just what we needed & added bonus was the beautiful cottage we were staying in, cosy, clean with everything we needed plus only few steps to the harbour, a handful of shops & places to eat & have a drink.”

- Mr Richardson, August 2020
Mrs Tamplin July 2020

“We had a lovely holiday in Mole Cottage which was quirky, cosy, very clean and well stocked with all the essentials.”

The owners had even left us a really tasty cream tea which was a wonderful touch. Highly recommended.

Miss Steel December 2019

“Mole cottage was a character filled, cosy and impeccably clean.”

Located 2 mins walk from the harbour and pub. We would definitely book the cottage again.

Edwards October 2019

“Mole cottage is lovely - perfect for a couple's week away.”

We very much appreciated the complimentary Cornish scones, jam and cream ready for us when we arrived!! We really loved being in Mousehole too. Great pub and café and parking wasn't too difficult, certainly in October anyway! The view across the harbour was stunning in any weather. The perfect base to explore the South West Coastal Path - some incredible scenery around Porthgwarra and Gwennap Head towards Land's End and around Kynance Cove towards the Lizard.

Ms Smith August 2019

“Beautiful and quirky cottage, amazing location and super helpful owners immediately on hand to help with any issues.”

A great week away!

Mr Fenner July 2019

“Mole Cottage was not only quaint and beautiful, it was a comfortable and lovely place to stay.”

The owners had left a welcome Cornish cream tea out for us, which was a lovely touch. Highly recommended!

Mrs Woolls May 2019

“Very clean and newly refurbished cottage with a well equipped kitchen and a comfy sofa.”

Second bedroom and bunk bed was a little small for our teenage daughter but she managed! Would of liked to have extended our stay and arrive a day earlier, cottage was available but unfortunately not a cleaner which was shame. Great location in Mousehole.

- Mrs Woolls, May 2019
Mrs Waring May 2019

“The cottage was well and attractively furnished and immaculately clean, and a really good base for a couple for a week.”

. The stairs down to the basement (where the bathroom and kitchen are) were VERY steep, which others have mentioned. Although that wasn't a problem for us, I think this could be highlighted more in the description - it says that the cottage is not suitable for under-6s but I agree with some of the comments in the book in the cottage that it would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues e.g. the elderly.

- Mrs Waring, May 2019
Mr Westoby February 2019

“The cottage, location was as expected and we had a lovely time.”

Our only 'gripe' was not with the accommodation but with the building work being carried out on the roof of the next cottage. Monday through to Friday at 08.00 each day, BBC radio 6 music was aired to all and sundry in Cherry Garden Street (and beyond) and was audible in every room at Mole Cottage. Luckily we had planned to get up around this time and did so with a nice cup of tea in bed in readiness for the day ahead. That said the music was also occasionally accompanied by the builder regularly clearing the phlegm from his lungs onto what we hoped would be some vessel of sorts (and not the roof). As you can imagine, having being woken at 8 am and then drinking our tea to the accompaniment of these sounds was, in our opinion rather inconsiderate and we wondered what other guests might have made of this if they were looking forward to getting up later or planned to stay at the accommodation during the day.

Mr Price January 2019

“The cottage is exactly as described, however it was let down by the fact that many of the utensils, pans, plates and bowls were not clean.”

We washed most things before we used them.

- Mr Price, January 2019
Ms Tulett December 2018

“Definitely value for money.”

Retained the character of the village. Contact details given for any questions or concerns. Nice bright and clean . Will be returning

Mrs Buckley November 2018

“Just one criticism, the shower head wasn't working properly.”

Just a stream of water and no spray so making it a bit difficult to wash hair and shower generally. Other than that, the cottage was lovely. In a good position, quiet, very tastefully decorated and comfortable. Also extremely well equipped. Thanks!

- Mrs Buckley, November 2018
Mrs O'Brien October 2018

“We had high expectations of this cottage and they were met.”

It was well equipped, tastefully furnished but cosy. While we were there we put the wood burner to good use! The cottage is tucked away in a secluded street but within easy reach of all the local facilities. From the top floor window, on a sunny day, you can see across the bay to St Michael’s Mount.

- Mrs O'Brien, October 2018
Miss Plant September 2018

“Mole Cottage was a beautiful place to stay for a relaxing week exploring West Cornwall with my dog.”

The parking was close to the cottage and there was a little pull in which meant I could unload the car before heading to the car park. The roads are as windy as you'd expect but plenty of passing places etc so easy to navigate (although I was out of high season so it might be different in the Summer). The cottage itself was exactly as it looked in the pictures so of a very high standard - plus there was a welcome of milk/tea/biscuits etc which was much needed after the drive. Highly recommend and would love to return!

- Miss Plant, September 2018
Miss O'brien September 2018

“Great customer service.”

Easy to book and good communication. Location and accommodation perfect and as described. Highly recommended.

- Miss O'brien, September 2018
Ms Mullett September 2018

“Beautiful cottage in a beautiful part of the country.”

Owner very helpful especially when we had to call him out the first night when we locked ourselves out. The listing made us aware that there was no parking at the cottage so we were aware of this before we booked and being Cornwall we were also ready for the small windy roads. What we were not really prepared for was how difficult it was to find parking anywhere even with it being mid-September.

Miss Nash July 2018

“Beautiful cottage, tastefully decorated, everything there that was needed.”

Would definitely return.
