Rosie's Cottage

Rosie's Cottage is a two-bedroom cottage in Mousehole, the small fishing village on the Penwith peninsula, sleeping four across a double bedroom and a bunk room. The cottage sits within easy reach of the harbour front, where the historic granite quay shelters the inner beach.

Inside, the cottage has an electric wood burner-effect fire in the living area, a private garden, and a BBQ for outdoor cooking. The kitchen is compact but functional for a group of four. The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer and microwave, with a dining table for four, and there is a washing machine. The king-size bedroom has bed linen, the second room has single bunk beds, and the shower room has a heated towel rail. Street parking is first come, first served.

Mousehole Beach is 500m from the door - a small sandy and shingle beach below the harbour wall, sheltered enough for children in calm weather. Lamorna Cove is 1.9 miles further along the coast path, a granite-edged inlet popular with swimmers and divers. For beaches further west, Porthcurno is roughly 7 miles by road and worth the drive.

Best for couples or a family of four who want to be in the middle of village life - pubs, galleries, and the harbour all within a few minutes' walk. One well-behaved dog is welcome, for a small additional charge.
