The Langley Tarne

The Langley Tarne is a converted former sail loft in Mousehole, sleeping 2 in a single-storey layout with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. The conversion has kept the original character of the building: stripped wooden floorboards, sash windows, and a cast iron king-size bed. The sitting room has an open fire for cooler evenings, and the bathroom has a claw-foot roll-top bath alongside a separate walk-in shower.

Mousehole beach sits within the harbour walls 100 metres away - a small, sheltered cove accessed directly from the village lanes. Lamorna Cove is 2.9km along the coast for a more secluded rocky swim. Penzance is 3 miles east, connected by a bus running roughly every 20 minutes into town for the market, shops, and ferry terminal. The South West Coast Path runs through Mousehole for walking in either direction.

Dogs are welcome and parking is included. The property has wifi and a dishwasher but no washing machine, which suits shorter breaks or couples travelling light. Cornwall Hideaways and Rural Retreats both list this property, with 51 reviews across listings.

Best for a couple wanting a stay with period character in a small fishing village, within easy reach of Penzance. Less good for those needing a washing machine or wanting a larger space.
