Mousehole View

Mousehole View is a two-bedroom cottage in Mousehole (pronounced "Mowzle") sleeping four with one bathroom. It has sea views, a garden, parking, and accepts dogs - a combination that's hard to find in this corner of Penwith where most cottages are terraced and parking is a perennial problem. From £391/night.

Inside, the cottage has Wi-Fi and a washing machine. The two bedrooms sleep four and the layout suits two couples or a family with young children. Rated 4.7 out of 5 from six guest reviews.

Mousehole Harbour Beach is 200m away - a calm, sheltered arc of sand inside the stone harbour wall, safe for swimming and popular with families. Lamorna Cove is 1.9 miles along the coastal road, a granite inlet below a wooded valley with clear water and a working fishery. Eastern Green Beach near Penzance is 3 miles. The village has two pubs and a handful of restaurants; the Ship Inn overlooks the harbour and gets busy on summer evenings.

Best for couples or families with a dog who want a village base close to the harbour, with sea views and the coast path accessible from the door. Less good for groups of more than four - two bedrooms is the limit.
