“The property was exactly as advertised.”

Excellent location and amazing views from the living room. Off road parking a bonus and a nice garden area too. However, some general maintenance issues were apparent. The cold tap in the main bathroom is loose. The corner kitchen base unit door hinge is broken. The freezer compartment in the fridge freezer is dirty. The tap in the downstairs shower room when in use is stiff and difficult to use. One of the lounge chairs collapsed due to loose bolts. This issue was dealt with when the house ...

Excellent location and amazing views from the living room. Off road parking a bonus and a nice garden area too. However, some general maintenance issues were apparent. The cold tap in the main bathroom is loose. The corner kitchen base unit door hinge is broken. The freezer compartment in the fridge freezer is dirty. The tap in the downstairs shower room when in use is stiff and difficult to use. One of the lounge chairs collapsed due to loose bolts. This issue was dealt with when the house keeper and owner were contacted. We are highlighting these issues, not as a criticism, but because they have been highlighted before. If attended to, would enhance the property even further.

“Wow...”

We couldn't believe how lovely the accommodation was and that view. We loved the art work, garden and the beds have a great nights sleep after a hard day's hiking. One of two little loose bits ( bathroom cold tap and cupboard) but at the end of the rental season we always expect those from wear and tear of holiday use . Will definitely recommend to friends heading in the Household direction and might well be back ourselves in the future.

“A wonderful place to stay like a home from home.”

Comfy rooms gorgeous views even at night. So comfortable and cosy. Friendly neighbours too. Good public transport links as well. Loved it.

Michael June 2023

“The view from the living room is just amazing- even better than the pictures.”

It is a very comfortable and well equipped house. The location is also fantastic- a short stroll to the bars and cafes in Mousehole, which were all great, and a great base for exploring the area. Being picky- the upstairs bathroom and the garden furniture are a bit tired. Also the drive is tight for a big car and then plants really need cutting back a bit for access. We loved the house though and had a great time.

“Beautiful views from the sitting rooms overlooking the bay.”

Well equipped and comfortable. Very short walk to Mousehole harbour from the house. We appreciated the parking at the property, as parking in this area is quite difficult.

Les May 2023

“Lovely place to stay, well located .”

Great views out to sea and towards mounts bay.We will definitely stay here again

Sue April 2023

“House was perfect for our party and we all had a wonderful time.”

Our only criticism was an overgrown garden although a gardener arrived during our stay and went round with a strimmer. Had it been neat and tidy would have given full marks!

- Sue, April 2023

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad to hear you had a lovely stay and that the gardener arrived during your stay. We hope to see you back again soon. Property Owner
Lyn April 2023

“Absolutely fantastic place!”

Really clean and comfortable, with a view you could never tire of! Lots of space too, and two bathrooms, which was great! Really comfy beds, sofa... Really warm, and very peaceful! We loved it! Highly recommend. Massive thanks!

- Lyn, April 2023
Heidi March 2023

“Will be booking again.”

Lovely house. Sea view means that if you want a lazy day or weather is poor you still have a beautiful space to be in. Easy walk to centre/ harbour. Parking space is a luxury in Mousehole and not a difficult park at all and I’m rubbish at parking. Outdoor space also a luxury for cottages here . Had everything we needed for a lovely stay, Would recommend highly

Elaine March 2023

“I wonder how often the owners check this house and whether they are satisfied with its general condition and cleanliness.”

We found it was distinctly random, with some basic work surfaces cleaned and many other areas completely neglected, resulting in many cobwebs, dirt and dust. Sadly for this reason alone, we would not rebook. We also found the house and garden neglected, needing care and attention, eg broken garden furniture, no door hooks at all for wet coats, etc. very thick dust on the fire surround and covering all the utensils, broken bathroom door handle, shower control sticking and often hard to turn off, random old, not working, or out of date items/ornaments, broken or incomplete telescope…… We felt, given the local shop has closed, at least a pint of milk would also have been welcome on arrival and note that house details, eg wifi info given, in the earlier email, no longer applies. All of that said, the house is in a good position, has private parking and really wonderful sea views. If you feel on balance, that is more important, then it does provide economical accommodation.

- Elaine, March 2023

Thank you for your feedback. Our usual cleaner has not been available since December, and it appears that our high standards of cleanliness and instructions to leave milk have slipped. We will try to address this. We have replaced the picnic bench in the garden following your comments. We were asked to remove coat hooks as the front door hallway is too narrow. Hooks are available in the hallway cupboard, and there is a boot room in the downstairs entrance. We will make this clear for new arrivals. We appreciate your feedback and are glad you were able to still have an enjoyable stay. Property Owner
Mark December 2022

“All in all was 10 out of 10.”

One point I would mention is getting into the parking space is a little tight. Going back this year, views are amazing, property cosy

- Mark, December 2022

Thanks for your feedback. I will put in the welcome email that the best way to park in the space is to drive past and then reverse in. Property Owner
Peter December 2022

“Lovely home from home.”

Fantastic views, warm and comfortable with ample logs provided for the woodburner. Perfect for us as an able bodied couple. A bit challenging access for the elderly or very young.

- Peter, December 2022
Michael October 2022

“Excellent choice for access to Mousehole and general area.”

Really good comfortable house with top sea views. Constructively, attention to floor coverings would enhance the property particularly in the kitchen- also tap in shower room very stiff - not complaining just helpful comment - perfect stay

- Michael, October 2022
Tina October 2022

“I loved it so much I booked a week in July on the first day we were there.”

Thank you so much a wonderful stay looking at the sea and the full moon too it was amazing. Filming the sunrise so beautiful, loved every moment. A home from home feel to the property too. Delightful!

- Tina, October 2022
Teresa September 2022

“We love this cottage.”

Mousehole is a beautiful village, very accommodating, a few excellent restaurants and a pub in walking distance. What more could you want!

- Teresa, September 2022
Siu-ki July 2022

“Lovely clean property and great location to explore Cornwall, definitely recommended for families or couples note there are some steep stairs leading to front door.”

Other than that can’t fault this place , will be booking this place again in the future.

Christine June 2022

“We have stayed at Wooton Gray several times.”

It's a comfortable, welcoming property in a stunning and convenient location and it has parking - a real bonus in Mousehole! The recent innovations downstairs are excellent, particularly the shower room. The only reservation I have about the shower room is that there are no grab rails, which for older visitors (such as us) makes it a little difficult to use. A couple of minor points: clothes hooks on the inside of the shower room door would be good and a rack for shampoo etc. fixed to the wall in the shower. Unfortunately, this was our last visit to WG - not because of anything wrong with the property, we have loved staying there, but this time we found the journey down and back, the hill and the steps challenging. So, with regret, we have said "Goodbye" to Wooton Gray and West Cornwall. We shall be scouring your property list for something nearer to home.

- Christine, June 2022
Roger March 2022

“Have stayed in this wonderful property on several previous occasions and enjoyed the great views and facilities.”

It has actually been enhanced on this occasion by the recent addition of the excellent wet room, utility room and lounge, leading out to the patio ‘sun trap’ in the garden. Will hopefully return in the near future for another relaxing break. Thanks to Sarah, who does a great job looking after Wootton Gray.

Margaret May 2021

“Wootton Gray is a lovely place to stay.”

It has fantastic sea views, is clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. We felt very welcome and appreciated all the information available. Would definitely recommend, although not suitable for anyone with mobility issues, and we hope to return at some time in the future.

Dennise September 2020

“This cottage is well equipped but facilities are dated, paintwork is grubby and kitchen cupboard doors were dirty.”

It was surface clean but things like the cooker hood and light fittings etc were very dusty. There were cobwebs in every corner and in the main bedroom, there was a cobweb that extended across the whole width of the bed head!! The toilet bowl in the downstairs toilet leaked and had apparently been a problem for a long time looking at the faults book! The main reason I booked this cottage was it’s position and the views which were decidedly marred by the fact that the picture window in the lounge had blown and the telescope that was featured didn’t work either. Being health care professionals, we are very aware of the covid requirements and we didn’t consider this cottage to be covid ready. It is a shame that the owners did not take the opportunity of lockdown to address some if not all of the issues that I have outlined. This cottage is up a fairly steep bank and, along with the stairs is really not suitable for anyone with mobility problems.

- Dennise, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that you felt the property fell below your expectations. I have passed on comments regarding cupboard doors, cooker hood, light fittings and cobwebs to our normally excellent cleaner. She has assured me that she will pay particular attention to these areas in future. The toilet bowl has been repaired recently and the leak now appears very slow, but I have arranged for a replacement to be fitted as soon as possible. I’m afraid I was unaware of any problems with the main picture window. I have arranged a date for a specialist glazing company to come and address the issue. The telescope is unfortunately a very sensitive instrument! It does work well but does require careful focusing. We have taken the current situation with Covid very seriously indeed and can fully understand the anxieties and concerns that our guests may have which is why we have taken multiple Covid precautions at the property and these should have been outlined in an email sent before arrival. The property listing on Sykes states ‘Steep steps to front door make the property unsuitable for guests with mobility issues’. We hope to complete our usual schedule of necessary updates during the winter months and will ensure to address the areas you have highlighted. Property Owner

Jayne June 2019

“The view was amazing,lovely big living room window with amazing sea views.”

. Cleanliness wasn't that great. Beds were extremely uncomfortable, downstairs shower room was ridiculous,far too small,you've heard the phrase...not enough room to swing a cat well you'd struggle to swing an ant nevermind a cat..Great location,loved watching the seagulls nesting and looking after there baby's..Rooms and storage were spacious and plentiful.Lovely garden that overlooks the amazing Seaview.

- Jayne, June 2019

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your stay at Wootton Gray. We've spoken with the owner who has asked us to cover the points mentioned in order to help yourselves and reassure future guests. . The feedback we receive for Wootton Gray is overwhelmingly positive, we would be keen to receive more details from you in relation to the cleanliness issues you experienced during your stay. We acknowledge that the downstairs bathroom is small however building works are planned within the next 2 years to change this. Despite the points mentioned we are pleased you enjoyed the location and fantastic views. Property Owner

“Wonderful family time had by all.”

The house was clean, and the position of the house was great for access into village. Would recommend this house to my friends.

- Rebecca, May 2019
Sara May 2019

“We had six glorious days with splendid weather at Wooten Grey.”

Wooten Grey has a spectacular view of the sea, warm and inviting atmosphere, good beds, and an excellent location. The people we met in Mousehole were friendly and lots of fun (except the postmaster).

- Sara, May 2019
Kathy September 2018

“We had a great stay - house was very comfortable and easy access to Mousehole.”

Would recommend and visit again.

D September 2018

“Fabulous location.”

Wootton Gray was very well equipped and it felt very much like a home from home. The milk, sugar, tea and Cornish fairings were very welcome after a long journey. The flowers added that wonderful welcoming touch. The beds were super comfy with high quality bed linen. Informative letter from the owners really helped us get the most from our stay, as did the folders and leaflets at the house. We would certainly have no hesitation is staying here again!

- D, September 2018
Anton August 2018

“The location of this property in Mousehole is great.”

It overlooks the ocean and on a sunny summer morning, it’s a sight to behold. Very conveniently located. The property itself was clean and well equipped. All essentials are available for a good self catering holiday.

- Anton, August 2018
Aaron July 2018

“The view from the lounge was fantastic.”

Lovely location. Easy walk to the sea, cafe, pub etc.

- Aaron, July 2018
Tina July 2018

“Fabulous holiday at Wootton Gray.”

The owner kindly emailed details to familiarise ourselves with the property and location which was very helpful. The house is clean and thoughtfully appointed with comfy beds. It has stunning views and off street parking which was useful, as the roads became parked up during the regatta. Easy access to supermarkets and restaurants in Penzance and a good base for the area. Would stay here again.

- Tina, July 2018
Ann June 2018

“We have many years of experience of renting property all over the world and Wootton Gray comes high on our list but there is stiff competition in the South West.”

Before we would go there again there are some things we would like to see changed. The location is superb but the house needs someone to go through it to clear the clutter of superfluous kitchen and dining equipment, non perishable food, extra cleaning materials and old brochures and leaflets, etc, including a non-working monocular with a stand. The instructions were clear and helpful. Pillows and cushions were tired and lumpy in some instances.

- Ann, June 2018

The owners are delighted that Wootton Gray is high on your list of places to stay in the South West. The owners will ensure that all brochures are current and that any lumpy pillows are replaced. Property Owner
Marilyn April 2018

“Mention should be made of the number of steps to the front door.”

It was difficult to park with a long car the space is very tricky to get into. The house suited our needs very well. Because of the very steep hill we had to drive every time we went out. The property was very clean and the kitchen well equipped. The beds were comfortable and the view exceptional. We had a happy week.

The property

The magnificent sea view across Mounts Bay and proximity to the village centre make Wootton Gray the perfect holiday retreat.

Within a few moments walk of the house are two small sandy beaches providing a safe play area for children and shelter for sunbathers.

Life in the fishing village of Mousehole centres around the postcard pretty harbour where colourful fishing boats are still moored.

At Christmas it is the focal point for the famous Mousehole Christmas Lights when the village is illuminated by over 7,000 bulbs.

Mousehole is an ideal location from which to explore the Lands End peninsular; walk the south west coast path, surf the waves at Sennen, learn to sail in Marazion or explore the old tin mines perched dramatically on the cliffs below Pendeen.

The white sands of Porthcurno, Porthgwarra, Sennen and St Ives should satisfy beach goers whilst garden lovers will be kept happy with a trip to Trengwainton, famous for the early spring blooms of rhododendrons and camellias. For an evening to remember, take a picnic (and a blanket) to a moonlit play the Minack Theatre but be sure to book ahead, with the glittering sea as a backdrop it is simply magical.

Built against a hillside in a quiet residential area, a flight of steps leads down to the entrance of this detached split level house.

The sunny, south-facing living room running the full width of the house has two picture windows framing Mounts Bay and the telescope provided may reward you with sightings of seals or dolphins.

With a hatch separating the well equipped kitchen from the dining area, there is a lovely open plan feel.

Downstairs is a double bedroom with its own shower room and a further sitting area; from here there is access to the terrace and enclosed garden with a bench table and sofa set for al fresco dining.

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.
