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. There's a nautical theme running throughout the home – look out for the lobster-printed cushions, handsome blue detailing, and even a glimpse of the sea from the window. On chilly days, you can throw a log on the fire and get comfy on the sofa with a good book and a glass of red wine. 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. Mousehole Harbour is a sandy spot, so we think you'll spend much of your time paddling, eating ice cream, and watching the boats bobbing in the water. Culture fans will be delighted to discover that the little village is home to a few art galleries. And, if you fancy a day trip, you can visit hidden coves, ancient stone circles, and the historic port of Penzance, all within easy driving distance.
