Traditional fisherman's cottage with Sea views

Description

The Mount has two bedrooms comfortably sleep four guests. The cottage has views over Mounts Bay and Lizard Peninsula.

The words family, seaside, holiday and fun all come together when describing this traditional fisherman's cottage that sits in a commanding position with views over Mount's Bay and the Lizard Peninsula - in fact you can lie in bed - with a cup of tea or wine depending on the time of day - and watch the ever changing canvas of the sea over the Mousehole rooftops. Dating back over 100 years, The Mount has been in the ownership of the same family for several years and so they are very aware of the needs of today's discerning and demanding guests. Situated on the western side of the village, the child friendly little beach and harbour are but a stone's throw from the cottage. One of the many benefits of this property is the large pretty courtyard at the rear which is fully enclosed with floodlights and a brick built BBQ - perfect for those family evenings or just for the two of you, some sizzling fresh fish and a glass of chilled white wine!

Newly fitted Bathroom: Bath and electric shower over, glass screen, hand basin, W.C., heated towel rail, shaver point. Night storage and wall-mounted electric heating throughout. Outside: To the front of the property, patio/seating area with pretty flower troughs, five steps down to utility room with washing machine, tumble drier and freezer. To the rear of the property, private, walled courtyard, with table and chairs. Parking is available in the public car park 100 yards from the property, daily charge applies. Please note: Dogs welcome, however guests are kindly asked to refrain from smoking inside the property.

With a profusion of narrow streets, donkey wide alleys and history at every turn, Mousehole is the epitome of a picturesque Cornish fishing village in a simply stunning setting. In fact Dylan Thomas who spent much of his honeymoon in the village described Mousehole as the prettiest village in all England.

Located just three miles westward from Penzance on the curve of Mounts Bay, the village is centred around an almost completely circular harbour with a small and truly charming beach which always proves popular with families, particularly those with small children.

Mousehole has largely resisted modern day trappings and remains unspoiled by 21st century developments. Working fishing boats still ply their trade from the harbour which is protected from the might of the Atlantic by two sturdy breakwaters, (Cornwallâ??s earliest and begun in 1393) and today are accompanied by visiting yachts and pleasure craft, making the panorama of the harbour truly peaceful and idyllic.

The village itself is a veritable maze of granite and slate cottages, winding narrow streets and cobbled alleyways which have a magic and mystery all of their own amd just waiting to be explored. Virtually unchanged by time, its natural beauty and charm still attracts many artists, drawn by its unique atmosphere and beautiful light.

The famous National Trust cliff walk round the Landâ??s End Peninsula starts at Mousehole. One of its most beautiful stretches is south from the village to Lamorna Cove and the Coastal Footpath continues towards Penberth and Porthcurno. The whole walk is full of breathtaking scenery and the immediate and surrounding coastline is officially designated an â??Area of Outstanding Natural Beautyâ?? by the National Trust.

Mousehole has a fine selection of craft and gift shops and small art galleries and in addition to some excellent pubs and restaurants (which serve the freshest fish you will ever enjoy, landed and delivered daily from nearby Newlyn).There is an enviable choice of tearooms serving quite delicious Cornish cream teas with mountains of golden clotted cream and superb fresh crab sandwiches.
