Berlewen

Berlewen is a three-bedroom apartment in Mousehole (pronounced "Mowzul"), sleeping six with two bathrooms. The apartment has sea views, a wood burner, and an open fire - a combination that makes it a practical year-round option in this granite fishing village 3 miles south of Penzance.

The property sleeps six across three bedrooms and is dog-friendly. Sea views are available from the apartment, and the wood burner and open fire give real warmth for out-of-season visits. Wi-Fi and a dishwasher are included. From GBP499/night, rated 4.5 from four guest reviews.

Mousehole Beach is 100m away - a small, sheltered cove with the village's 14th-century harbour wall as backdrop. The South West Coast Path passes through, connecting Mousehole to Lamorna Cove (3.1km west) and Newlyn (1.5km east). The Ship Inn on the quay serves food year-round. Each December, Mousehole is known for its harbour light display and the Tom Bawcock's Eve celebration on 23 December. Penzance - with the Jubilee Pool and rail links east - is a short drive north.

Best for groups or families who want a village base with genuine Cornish character and sea views, particularly in spring or autumn when the village is quieter. The limited parking in Mousehole itself should be factored in.
