The Langley Tarne

Set within the scenic Cornish fishing village of Mousehole is The Langley Tarne, a charming dog-friendly, single-storey, romantic bolt-hole retreat for two. This characterful cottage is full of original features from its earlier days as a sail loft, lovingly retained including stripped wooden floorboards, sash windows and window seats. The cosy sitting room with over-sized armchairs is the perfect place to relax between dips in the sea and enjoy the roaring open fire in cooler months; and spills through into a charming, hand-built wooden kitchen with contemporary granite worktops, fully equipped with appliances, utensils and crockery including KitchenAid and Emma Bridgewater. A rustic dining area, butler's sink and charming window seat give this room a vintage vibe. Wander across the entrance hall into the bedroom, with its cast iron king-size bed and decorative fireplace. The bathroom is both generous and stylish with a claw foot roll-top bath for two and separate walk-in high-pressure shower, complete with fluffy towels and Molten Brown toiletries. Whilst The Langley Tarne has no allocated outside space, just along the harbour front are a wonderful selection of galleries, gift shops and restaurants, while at low tide there is a safe, sandy beach within the harbour walls. Mousehole lies 3 miles west of Penzance on the southern coast of West Cornwall, a short scenic bus ride from Penzance railway station runs every 20 minutes. This quintessential seaside village with its narrow streets and quaint stone cottages, is a popular travel destination. Further nearby beaches include Porthcurno, Penzance Promenade beach and Lamorna Cove. And if a four legged friend is on holiday too, try Salt Ponds beach or Roskilly beach, both dog friendly all year round. Walk up the hill from Mousehole and discover 300 miles of beautiful coastline walks. In every season there is something magical to experience from the spring time woods and hedgerows full of wild flowers and bluebells, to the dramatic winter waves when they crash against the gigantic granite rocks rising out of the Cornish sea.
