Mariners Cottage - a beautifully refurbished pet friendly 18th Century fisherman's cottage with sea

A bustling fishing port until the mid 16th Century, the picturesque village of Mousehole nestles on the south coast of Cornwall between Penzance and Land's End.

Today, its narrow, winding streets are lined with small shops, galleries and restaurants, while a pretty harbour edged with traditional, granite cottages crouches protected from the prevailing storms by two imposing breakwaters that give it its distinctive shape. Perfectly in keeping with Mousehole's fishing port heritage, Mariners Cottage is an original 17th Century fisherman's cottage with a charming, whitewashed façade and staggering views from every sea-facing window.

Recently refurbished and elegantly updated, this lovely home offers a bright and inviting space, with a combination of coast-inspired décor and authentic features, that create a chic and relaxing atmosphere throughout. Arranged over three floors, two lovely bedrooms can be found upstairs with a gorgeous master bedroom on the first floor and a sumptuous twin room on the upper. Both rooms have crisp, high quality linen and feature large sash windows; perfect for taking in the sweeping oceanscape views and enjoying the ever-changing moods of the sky. Downstairs, the delightful living area in calming, neutral tones is open-plan with the well-designed kitchen, and has an inviting sofa and two occasional chairs arranged cosily around a fabulous wood-burning stove.

Stepping out through the stable door to the front of the cottage is a fantastic, enclosed waters' edge garden with wonderful far-reaching views over Mount's Bay towards St Michael's Mount and Lizard Point. Comfortably furnished with a table and plenty of seating, it's the ideal place for fresh-air dining or for enjoying a glass of bubbly while watching the sun set over the water.

*Please note that this property is unsuitable for children under 10 years old due to the low wall separating the terrace from a large drop down to the water's edge.
**This property allows one small dog only. Guests visiting with a pet will need to provide proof of a recent flea treatment before arrival.
***Guests will need to bring own kindling and logs for the wood-burning stove.

Good Housekeeping Bond
We ask our guests for a £100 good housekeeping bond, which is pre-authorised against your card. This is in case there is any damage to the property during your stay. The money is simply reserved and then released afterwards if there is no claim. We will contact you nearer the time of your arrival to arrange this.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

A perfect Christmas stay

We had such a lovely quiet Christmas by the sea in Mousehole at Mariners Cottage. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and location was perfect.

Review

Fantastic position and a very cozy feel to this charming holiday house. Disappointing, then, that the heating was off on arrival and it was freezing for the first 24hrs; not helped by a paucity of wood supply and a box of matches with - one - match… Excellent bath and shower room.

Pretty cottage

Mariner’s Cottage is situated in a very quiet position with uninterrupted sea views. The cottage is cosy and with the heaters on you don’t really need to light the wood burner. The bedrooms are comfortable and the view out to sea when sitting in bed was delightful. It is beautifully decorated and it feels very homely with the art work and decoration. We would definitely return and highly recommend.

A place to recharge

Mariners Cottage is a lovely little hideaway in a very peaceful location. The front garden which looks out over the ocean is a fantastic place to sit quietly and let your mind empty itself of all the baggage you brought with you on holiday. I could spend hours listening to and watching the waves crashing against the rocks below you. The house itself is cosy and very comfortable and the beds are fantastic. Mouse hole hasn’t changed much in 40 years and still retains its character and reclusiveness which makes it such a peaceful place to stay. The restaurants are great and the Delhi’s serve great food albeit at a price ! I certainly hope to come back again.

Sweet waterfront abode

Charming and well designed 2 BR spot right on the waters edge. Enjoy coffee in the morning sun on the front veranda and beers for happy hour. Spacious master bath. Tight staircase and top floor bedroom has little room on the sides of the bed. Decor was well done. Laundry in unit. No traffic as it’s a pedestrian path. It’s a sweet spot.

Blissfully perfect stay

We absolutely loved staying at Mariner's Cottage. We were only two people which worked perfectly for us. I'm sure more organised and 'compact' people could cope with being more than two, but it is certainly perfect for a couple. It is a very thoughtfully furnished house with everything you need for a short stay. The location is sublime, with its little garden overlooking the sea and with a barely-four-minute walk into the "centre" of picturesque Mousehole. We happened to have our car with us (which you park a couple of minutes away) but honestly there is so much to see and do in the local area and the local bus is so reliable you could almost not bother with a car at all. We ate incredibly well in both Mousehole and nearby Newlyn and tried almost every restaurant in the area, of which there is an extensive and excellent selection. Whilst Mousehole is undoubtedly a superbly pretty and friendly village (we loved the early week craft market and pretty much every shop and restaurant we visited!) we also fell in love with grittier Newlyn with its fresh fish shops and Coddiwomple which sells fabulous slipware and artwork. We also felt that the historic centre of Penzance was well worth a look (and enjoyed buying huge woolly pullies from Tam O'Shanter), had a great day in St Ives and discovered many fine coastal walks. The whole week couldn't have been better and we can't wait to go back.

What a special, special cottage this is...

My adult daughter and I spent 5 days at the cottage and loved every minute of it. The cottage is beautifully furnished and equipped, and the location is heavenly. You can look across at Mousehole, but you're at the end of a pathway, enjoying stunning sea views, sunrises and sunsets. The seals amble around the corner and the seagulls all settle on the island in front. The garden space is lovely and we both loved the high bar table with stools to get a breakfast bar vibe looking right our across the rocks and sea. It's really a very special cottage to stay in. We went off to explore the surrounding area, which is a beautiful part of Cornwall, but we were always happy to get back to the cottage and light the woodturner - putting our feet up, chilling, reading, having a glass of wine and watching the sun go down. Heaven, absolute heaven. With thanks, Bongo and Freddie.

Beautiful stay

We had such a lovely time at Mariners Cottage. It’s a beautiful home from home. Waking to the sound and views of the sea every morning was magical.
