Keigwin Cottage

Keigwin Cottage is a two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Mousehole, one of west Cornwall's most compact harbour villages. It sleeps four across two bedrooms with one bathroom.

Both a wood burner and an open fire feature - rare to have both in one property - making this a practical choice for autumn or winter stays when the village is quiet and the harbour wall takes the Atlantic swell. The garden adds outdoor space in summer, and the property is dog-friendly throughout. Wifi and a washing machine are included.

Mousehole Beach is 100m from the door. Lamorna Cove lies 1.8 miles south along a narrow valley road, leading to a sheltered granite cove with good rock pools at low tide. Penzance is around 3 miles north - useful for supermarkets, the railway station, and the Scilly ferry. The Minack Theatre at Porthcurno is about 7 miles along the coast road, with evening performances running May to September.

Best for couples or families with a dog who want direct harbour access without needing to drive to the beach every day. Less suited to those needing multiple parking spaces - Mousehole's lanes are narrow and the village fills up in July and August.
