The Little Net Loft

The Little Net Loft is a 1-bedroom first-floor cottage on Quay Street in Mousehole, sleeping 2 with views over the granite harbour. The property is on Mousehole's harbourside itself.

Inside, the cottage has a single bedroom with 1 bathroom, an open fire for cooler evenings, a garden, and a washing machine. Wi-fi and parking are included. The kitchen is not the most expansive for a couple staying a week, but the layout works for two people. Dogs are welcome. Changeover is Friday.

Mousehole Beach is 60 metres from the front door - a small sandy cove that dries at low tide beside the harbour wall. For a longer stretch of sand, Lamorna Cove is 1.9 miles south along the coast path. Newlyn, a working fishing port with a gallery and fish market, is 1.5 miles east along the South West Coast Path. Penzance with its mainline rail connection and full range of shops is 3 miles. Mousehole's famous December harbour light display and Tom Bawcock's Eve celebration at the Ship Inn draw visitors from across the county each year.

Best for couples wanting to be in the thick of a historic fishing village, close to the sea without needing a car. The harbour setting means noise from the quay during summer evenings. Less good for those wanting space, a quiet rural location, or travelling with more than one dog.
