Marys Loft

This delightful three storey cottage is nestled in the charming fishing village of Mousehole, one of Cornwall’s hidden gems. The village’s fishing heritage dates back to 1266 and the tightly knitted streets are full of local granite built cottages. Mousehole was also believed to be the home of the last person to speak only the Cornish language and her house is celebrated with a plaque. A friendly local pub,galleries, restaurants, cafes, shops, andtwo Deli’s are all just as few minutes stroll from the cottage. The Cottage makes a perfect base for touring Cornwall’s breathtakinglandscape, beaches and historic sites. Nearby attractions to visit include Land’s End, Sennen Cove, Porthcurno, The Minack Theatre, St Michael’s Mount and numerous beautiful National Trust/English Heritage properties. There are also some fantastic walks to be had along the scenic Coastal Path either towards Lamorna Cove or Newlyn.Mousehole is also famous for its Christmas lights around the harbour and village, and the switch on is always something to look forward to. This is very famous in West Cornwall and has been a feature of the village for over 50 years. Scenes from Poldark and also the film, Frenchman’s Creek (Daphne Du Maurier) ,have been filmed here.

This is a lovely couples bolthole to escape to, nicely tucked down a little side street to offer plenty of peace and quiet. Beautiful in the spring and summer months but when the weather turns colder, wrap up warm and head out. You will find yourself in the harbour within a few minutes. The view is always different with the changing sky and sea and on a stormy day the waves are a sight to behold. Tuck up in a cafe with a hot chocolate and soak up the atmosphere.
