Mousehole Cottages

Dylan Thomas once stated that Mousehole was "the loveliest village in Britain" and it's not hard to see why. Tucked away on the rugged southern coast of Cornwall this charming fishing village enchants with its quaint harbour, picturesque cottages, and a sense of tranquillity. The village retains its authentic Cornish character and offers a peaceful escape from bustling city life. Its scenic beauty, with stunning coastal views and the iconic Mousehole Harbor, is a big draw for holidaymakers. The village also hosts various events throughout the year, including the famous Christmas lights display that illuminates the entire harbour during the holiday season, attracting visitors from near and far. For an authentic Cornish holiday stay in one of our hand-picked Mousehold cottages.
