Sitting on a charming row of Cornish cottages, this home shines like the warm summer sun. And with its striking yellow exterior, this is a wonderful place to experience the joy and magic of coastal living. 

Just a short walk from Marazion beach and town, there’s a refreshing quality to this home. It strikes a wonderful balance between tradition and comfort to create a space that is filled with character. And with views across St Michael’s Mount, it’s easy to be captivated by its atmospheric beauty. From cosy mornings reading by the fire to candlelit dinners around the table, there’s a romantic ambience to this home that makes you want to settle in and stay. 

Stepping outside, you’ll find a walled courtyard and a raised terrace perfectly positioned to savour the views with drinks in hand. And when you’re inspired to explore, Mount's Bay is waiting to be discovered. You can easily walk to the beach and the majestic St Michael’s Mount, while it’s just a twenty–minute drive to the pretty villages of Newlyn and Mousehole.

With sea views and serene interiors, this apartment in Marazion is ideal for a romantic coastal escape. The soothing colour scheme is as relaxing as a day at the beach, while the comfy furnishings provide plenty of spots to kick back and relax. And it doesn't lack charm, either – everywhere you look there are nods to the area's nautical roots, the star of which is the original ship window above the kitchen sink. The ocean outlook makes washing up something to look forward to, while the induction range stove will get your creative culinary juices flowing. But the real showstopper is the south-facing terrace off the bedroom. Wake up to the sight of Mount's Bay in the morning, then pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of wine and watch the sunset each evening. When you're ready to venture out, you'll be spoilt for choice, whether you want to kitesurf and paddleboard, grab a bite to eat or sprawl out Marazion Beach (a ten-minute stroll away). And, of course, a trip to Marazion isn't complete without a visit to St Michael's Mount – when the tide is low, you can walk across the causeway to the famous castle in under twenty minutes, but you can always hop on a ferry when the tide rolls in.

We’re not one for hyperbole, but the views from the terrace of this home really are spectacular. Not only do you have the ocean stretching out as far as the eye can see, but the beautiful bay of Praa Sands also curves down below, and the patchwork fields of south Cornwall lie in the distance. Admire the view from the perfectly placed hot tub, drink a morning coffee on the glass-fronted balcony, or cook a meal on the barbecue to enjoy overlooking the water. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room means that you can take in the scene even on cold days – when you may want to fire up the woodburner for a cosy evening in. Aside from walking, surfing and sunbathing on Praa Sands, you’ll also want to explore the nearby village and go hiking along the South West Coast Path, which is easy to reach from this home.

This traditional Cornish cottage in Marazion with pretty blue shutters is reminiscent of the Mediterranean. It will sweep you off your feet with its location perched above the coast, offering stunning views out onto the deep blue sea.

Just a few metres from the sandy shores of Praa Sands Beach, this dreamy house nestled between Penzance and Helston offers beachside beauty from the moment you arrive. 

Take in uninterrupted views of the bay from the large private garden boasting sun loungers, an alfresco dining and lounge area and an abundance of open lawn space.

Cornwall is known for its laid-back vibe, and this home gives off just that. With neutral tones running through the home, traditional wooden beams, a cosy fireplace, and a flourishing garden, it's the perfect Cornish getaway. We love the nods to Cornish coastal roots, with oars on the walls adding a beachy feel to the home. It's twee and charming while being stylish and contemporary. 

Soak up gorgeous mornings in your lush garden, which spreads across two levels. Enjoy your morning coffee while catching up on your book, before getting ready to take on the day.

The seaside town of Marazion is just a ten-minute walk away and upon reaching its beach, you'll be doing a double-take as to whether you're really still in the UK. With glistening clear blue seas and white sand beaches, spending the day here is easily done. And for the full experience, we highly recommend a classic Cornish pasty or fish and chips on the beach for a satisfying lunch. 

Return home and wash off the sand in your outdoor shower before enjoying a few drinks in the garden. The barbecue is ready to go to cook up a feast, or you could enjoy a homecooked dinner around the dining table inside if the weather starts to chill. There's nothing more homely than gathering around with family and friends in a Cornish cottage, while the traditional fireplace warms you up from the inside out.

Beautifully styled, the upstairs living area stands out with its tall vaulted ceilings and stunning picture window giving way to breathtaking sea and Mount views.

Sea Shimmer

Positioned just above Praa Sands on Cornwall's south coastline, this home can't be accused of not making the most of this sensational location. The living area has a huge sliding door and the master bedroom an equally large window, and both gaze out towards an unblemished panorama of sea and skyline. There's even a terrace and a small garden so you can feel a breeze on your face while you take in the scenery. Back inside, the home is contemporary with a distinct boho edge thanks to the macrame, house plants, natural fabrics and soothing neutral colour scheme. In one corner, there's a wood burner, which can warm you up after a day of surfing and frolicking about on the beach. The South West Coast runs by the address and continues in either direction for plenty more stunning landscape, while Penzance only takes seventeen minutes to reach in the car if you want a day of galleries and restaurants.

Cornish Nightingale

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

Just a five-minute walk from the centre of the village, this pretty cottage feels every bit the wonderfully rural Cornish retreat. As part of a set of converted farm buildings, this place has changed a lot since it was used to store seed potatoes back in the day. 

A glossy modern kitchen, plump sofas, a velvet beanbag, and a rainfall shower are just some of the features that bring comfort and style to this rustic abode. We love the log burner in the lounge, the heart of the living space, where you can round up the family after a day out exploring the area. But for the ultimate in modern-day luxury, we suggest you take a long soak in the home's new hot tub, out in the lovely garden.

Maris Peer

The tiny hamlet of Crowlas is home to this rustic stone cottage, located less than a five-minute walk from the village centre. Stepping foot inside this former hay barn, the interiors might surprise you. While the furnishings and the kitchen are wonderfully modern, the wooden stairs and the wood burning stove are gorgeous, rustic features which make the space feel warm and homely. After a windswept day at the beach, coming home will feel like bliss when you can curl up by the fire with a cup of tea. And the flames continue outside. With a fire pit and a barbecue, the kids can roast marshmallows while someone else handles the burgers on the grill. This garden is a stunning spot where you can let the little ones run around – and you can lie back in the sun loungers to enjoy the serenity of the countryside. For a day out of your sanctuary, hop in the car and head through the village to pick up picnic supplies. As the crow flies, you’re under two miles from the rugged coasts of Cornwall.

Parking On Street

This seaside cottage occupies a wonderful spot just beside the harbour in Mousehole. With plenty of traditional charm, it makes a great place to put your feet up and relax between your Cornish adventures.

And, when you get hungry, you can whip up some family favourites in the kitchen, before serving your culinary creations at the cosy dining table.

Soft Lambswool

Private Parking

Sitting in Goldsithney's coastal village, this charming cottage is only a few minutes down the road from Perranuthnoe Beach. Half a mile away from your front door lies the ancient market town of Marazion, where you can easily access St Michael's Mount at low tide. This southerly spot on the British map has been hailed for its rich history and turquoise waters, attracting tourists from far and wide.

Walk past the wrought-iron gate and hang up your coats in the porch, then you'll see how the interior design continues to honour the heritage of this home.

After an evening jaunt to the local pub, simply gather your family around the dining table to chat about tomorrow's plans.

Plant Your Hope

Out of all the sights in Cornwall, St Michael's Mount is one of the most beautiful. This island community is just off the coast of Marazion, with a medieval church and castle sitting atop its rocky terrain. Just a mile and a half from this striking scene, this house is the ideal base for exploring everything the region has to offer. This sleek, modern apartment is dressed in blue-and-white hues, in a nod to its coastal setting. Sash windows look out to rolling fields and trees, and adorning the walls, you may spy a few pieces that were painted by Cornish artists. But for the strongest connection to the nearby sea and the local area, nothing compares to the beach view from your private patio. You’ll love sitting out here for alfresco dining on a balmy evening, just as much as a wholesome brunch on a bright morning. After a long day of exploring beaches and glorious natural landscapes, curl up with a novel and a tumbler of whisky by the shiny, wood-burning stove (after the kids have gone to bed of course).

Higher Ground

Seagulls Soar

With views over Newlyn Harbour and across the Cornish coast, this historic home feels like stepping back in time. Embrace the mariner lifestyle by watching the day boats leave from the big bay windows or curling up by one of the log burners after a bracing dip in the sea. Alongside vintage pieces such as grandfather clocks and oil paintings, the home is equipped with all the mod cons you'd expect. Perfect for family get-togethers, there are two living rooms, both with comfy sofas and chairs, so there'll be no squabbling over the remote. On clear days, sip wine on the patio, which has views as far as St Michael's Mount, or if the weather isn't playing ball, treat yourself to a soak in the freestanding tub. The home is blessed with an excellent location for exploring this popular corner of the country – Mousehole and Penzance are reasonable strolls away, and you won't find the catch of the day much fresher than in the village's own restaurants. Just under twenty minutes in the car will see you arrive at Land's End, Britain's most south-westerly point and a famous landmark.

Shelter From The Storm

Tucked away in Mousehole's narrow, winding streets, this home's location is straight out of a fairytale – perched on a hill above the harbour, the living room and rooftop terrace look onto soft blue stretches of Cornish sea. The home is modern, polished, and bright, with a wide upper deck in full sun, making it ideal for summer living. Sling your sandy towels over the glass balustrade and relax with a glass of wine after a day on the beach. Spend an afternoon exploring the picturesque fishing harbour, nipping into cafes and shops as you weave your way around the village and its traditional granite cottages. Later, take a scenic walk west along the Coastal Path and admire views of the Tater Du Lighthouse. Further afield lie the larger towns of Newlyn, Penzance, and Marazion, each with their own pubs, restaurants, and secret coves.

The Mermaid

A short walk from the pretty harbour, this home couldn't be more typical of Mousehole if it tried. Once declared 'the loveliest village in England' by Dylan Thomas, 'Mowzul' is an ever-popular place to visit with narrow streets lined with historic cottages. Set over three floors, this former fisherman's loft is Grade II listed and has just the right balance of character features and modern, coastal-inspired styling. On the ground floor, a modern, eat-in kitchen provides everything you'll need for cooking at home, while the comfortable living room upstairs has the home's main entrance, an electric fire and a charming window seat. The top floor bedrooms are pretty special and we particularly love the vaulted ceilings and clever internal porthole windows. From the master bedroom, you can even see across to St Clement's Isle and beyond – what could be better? Stroll to the nearby, shops, cafes and restaurants or drive to Lamorna Cove (ten minutes) or Penzance (fifteen minutes).

Stargazy Pie

And whether you’re cuddling up on the sofa, cooking up a treat in the kitchen or sitting down to a candlelit dinner, the calming simplicity of this home makes you want to settle in and stay. 

Outside, follow the views along the garden path to the beach for a refreshing walk and picnic, or explore further along this stunning coastline – St Ives is just a ten–minute drive away. Here you’ll find a vibrant seaside community brimming with boutique shops, galleries, restaurants and cafes. And when the day draws to a close, this home provides a cosy retreat – the perfect place to watch the sunset across the horizon. 

The Indigo Blue 

Midway along a quaint narrow road set back from the bustling Mousehole Harbour, this Cornish cottage is a quaint and stylishly formed home-from-home. While tastefully modern with a fresh neutral colour palette and gentle nods to the town’s nautical history, the rustic origins have been retained. In the mornings, find the comfiest spot on the deep linen sofa and settle in with the papers and a cup of tea. Cooking in the kitchen is a laid-back affair with everything you need to whip up humble lunches or to prepare glasses of Pimm’s, sipped on the bench at the front. Wander out for pasties by the waterside—less than five minutes by foot—and wind through the village to gift shops and tea rooms. Take the twenty-minute drive to Marazion Beach, where the glittering Mount’s Bay gives the Aegean a run for its money. After a bracing dip, come home to de-sand in the double shower and settle in with a cider and a fish supper, looking forward to your weary head hitting the pillow of your luxurious king-size bed.

Cornish Sea Salt

Wake up to breathtaking sea views when you visit The Bluest Sight in charming Mousehole. Tucked into the hillside above the town, the home’s main living area is split into two levels and boasts impressive picture windows to guarantee glorious views from almost every angle. Wake up and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea in the living area as you gaze out over the harbour and sparkling, turquoise bay that gives Mousehole its fame. Whether you’re visiting in the summer, winter, spring or autumn, Mousehole’s quay is always bustling with art galleries, gift shops and fantastic restaurants. Best of all, you can walk to the harbour in less than ten minutes. Other local attractions include St Clement’s Isle, which sits just some three-hundred metres from the shore and boasts incredible sea and wild life, or the nearby bird sanctuary at Ragginnis Hill. Just be sure to pack comfortable walking shoes because this area is best explored on foot.

The Bluest Sight

Discover the quaint fishing village of Mousehole with a stay at this traditional Cornish home. Though it's been updated with contemporary furnishings and amenities, you can easily discern the home's history with its old stone walls, wood-burning stove, and the exposed wooden trusses that adorn the bedroom's ceilings. An outdoor balcony on the roof connects to two of the bedrooms, making it the perfect spot for a morning breakfast or cup of tea. We love the living area’s enormous bay window that looks onto the sea – a view that goes hand in hand with a bottle of wine in front of the fire or a good book. Mousehole offers plenty of options for eateries, including traditional pubs and tearooms, but on nights when you just fancy a home-cooked meal, the kitchen is fully equipped. Dine at the rustic wooden table, then head out for an evening walk along the harbour wall and watch the waves crash. Tomorrow you can walk the Coastal Path to the Tater Du Lighthouse, or take a scenic drive to the nearby towns of Newlyn, St Michael's Mount or charming St Ives. If you prefer to stay in Mousehole, wander the shops and enchanting streets of this quiet seaside town before returning it's time to hit the beach again.

And there’s everything you could need for a cosy countryside stay. 

You’ll love waking up to garden views, opening the doors and breathing in the fresh sea air. Follow the path down to the white sandy beach, where the shallow waters make it ideal for swimming. Spend an afternoon exploring St Ives – only an eight–minute drive away. From art galleries to independent shops and restaurants, this is a great place to soak in the seaside atmosphere. 

After a day outdoors, this home is a sanctuary to rest and reflect on the beauty of Cornwall. Light the barbecue, and gather around the table to share wonderful food and conversation. 

The Brook

The sound of waves crashing against the shore can be heard from every corner of this beachfront home. You'll find it perched peacefully on the hillside, overlooking Praa Sands and offering uninterrupted views of the sea. Here, you're a five-minute stroll from the beach and idyllically nestled between Penzance, Marazion and Porthleven, all reachable within twenty minutes by car.

Cocooned by wildflowers and a lush sloping lawn, this home promises tranquillity. Outside, the sea-facing terrace beckons you to relax in the splendour of your surroundings. Spend mornings roosted here with a cup of coffee, allowing the sea breeze to awaken you from your slumber before slipping out for a bracing walk on the beach. At mealtimes, make use of the alfresco dining furniture, crafted from recycled plastic bottles and complemented by a charcoal barbecue for those impromptu cookouts. 

Inside, spacious rooms are stylishly decorated, cloaked in a coastal-inspired colour palette of soothing blues and earthy neutrals. Large windows usher in heaps of natural light while providing scenic snapshots of the coast. We especially love the open-plan living space, dressed to the nines for relaxation. Spend your downtime in the cosy lounge, curled up beside the warm glow of the wood-burning fireplace. The fully-equipped kitchen is perfect for home chefs. Though, if you don't fancy cooking, we recommend grabbing pizzas from The Post Office cafe, two minutes away on foot.

Multiple Sets of Keys

This bright four-story house has been designed with comfort and style in mind. Don’t be fooled by the ultra-modern, white facade; this place still retains a nod to its heritage with exposed stones from the original fisherman's cottage. In summer, light pours through the large windows and the log burner and underfloor heating keeps you cosy in the colder months. A crisp, white background lets the seaside watercolours on the wall speak for themselves and the big kitchen is more than spacious enough for the buzz of family breakfast time. On sunny days, head out to the wooden deck looking out to sea (with an outdoor heater available), or tuck yourself away on the dining terrace for an alfresco seafood feast from the local fishmonger.

The home faces a quiet lane leading to the centre of the bustling and charming town of St. Ives, where you'll find excellent seafood restaurants, cafés, indie galleries and soft-sanded beaches. Enjoy the local Cornish culture with ocean adventures like wild swimming, surfing and paddleboarding, all just a short walk away.

A Sea Of Calm

With romantic sea views and cosy interiors, this Mousehole cottage welcomes you to experience the timeless charm of coastal living. 

Wake up to the soothing sound of the waves, enjoy slow mornings gazing at the views, take leisurely Harbourside strolls and spend lazy afternoons curled up on the sofa with a book. Outside, the front terrace provides a wonderful setting for balmy evening drinks and delicious meals prepared with fresh local produce. And when the weather turns cold and crisp, you’ll find the living room welcoming you to enjoy cosy movie nights by the fire. 

From here, it’s just a short walk to the nearest beach, shops, bakery and charming pubs, while the coast is brimming with opportunities for long hikes, cycle rides and sightseeing. Penzance and the majestic St Michael’s Mount are within easy driving distance. 

The Merry Sailor 

If you’re looking for a memorable seaside escape with panoramic sea views from all windows, then this gorgeous cottage could be for you. For the colder months, there’s a wood burner to cosy up in front of too. You can enjoy the wonderful vistas from outside as well in the large garden with its terraced seating area, perfect for watching the sun set. If you want to explore this stunning location, the South West Coast Path is just beyond the garden. Or spend the day on beautiful Praa Sands, 3 kilometres away. A little further afield there are attractions such as St Michael's Mount, The Minack Theatre and Penzance to discover.

Fairy Tale Cottage

Once a fisherman’s cottage, this cute Porthleven bolthole dates back to 1880. You can picture the relief on the weather-worn fisherman’s face, returning to this cosy abode with a fire crackling in the stove (it’s electric now) and stargazy pie steaming away on the farmhouse-style table in the kitchen. Your days in Porthleven don’t have to be so hard, meandering down to the harbourfront in just a few minutes where boats still land the fresh catch of the day, supplying a glut of independent restaurants. There’s a soft-sand beach here too, for days on the surfboard.

Speaking of which, if you want to hang your wetsuit out to dry and store your board, there’s a private backyard just for this. Inside, we love the exposed stone walls still on display – a nod to the home’s history. Sinking into one of the sofas is a delight after a day on a surfboard or walking the South West Coastal Path. Then there are the bedrooms with cushioned piled high on the beds – the epitome of cosiness. 

Stargazy in the Oven

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. 


Cornish Daydreams

This perfectly formed cottage in Mousehole is the kind of place you'll want to cosy up for a fireside hot chocolate after a day of hiking along the coastline or swimming at the local beaches. 

Offering plenty of room to spread out and catch up in the living and dining areas, it is a space that provides a sociable ambience or a peaceful setting where the group can take moments of solitude if needed. Perch on the window seat with a good book in hand. Or better still, when the weather is being kind make your way outside to take in the fresh sea air. 

Open up. the patio doors and step out onto the driftwood-decked courtyard with outdoor seating, barbecue and a space to keep surfboards and bikes. While the dreamy ocean views are best seen from the upstairs bedrooms, the tranquil patio garden is a wonderfully secluded spot to make the most of the sunshine in privacy. Then, of course, there is the beach, and an array of pubs, shops and eateries positioned just half a mile away from your central address in Mousehole. 

The Cowrie Collector

With its glorious sea views and smart interiors, this apartment makes for an idyllic beachside escape in Cornwall’s sought-after St Ives. In the living space, subtle nautical touches, a bespoke driftwood coffee table and humbug inspired wallpaper combine to create a cosy atmosphere. Throw open the sliding doors and bask in a salt-tinged breeze; watch the waves roll in and listen to the gulls guffaw overhead. Wake up refreshed in comfortable beds and cook something tasty for breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen. Dish up on your private terrace when the weather’s nice or serve at the dining table if it’s blowing a gale out. Once you’re fuelled and raring to go, the very best of St Ives is no more than a ten-minute walk away. Begin with some arts and culture at the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden before sprinting to Porthminster Beach for vanilla-white sands and water that could rival the Caribbean. In the late afternoon, find a quaint team room for freshly baked scones – remember, the Cornish way is to put the jam on first.
