We spent a fortnight at Avocet recently and it is perfectly located to explore everything this part of the country has to offer. We used the bus and train to get into St Ives both bus and train stops are only a few minutes walk from the house. The beaches nearby are perfect for watersports and relaxing and there are so many sightseeing options within a hour or shorter drive. The house itself is well presented as per the photos, large enough for 6 people not to be on top of each other. We found the garden and balcony good sizes too. We would recommend this property!

Tom Bawcock's Eve, Mousehole

The tradition of Tom Bawcock comes from the feast or famine lifestyle of Cornwall.  The story goes that it was just before Christmas; there had been no fish for weeks, the boats couldn’t get out into the raging storm, the village was starving. One man, Tom Bawcock, dared to take his boat out of the harbour’s safety. He returned with enough fish to make fish pie for the whole village. 

Today, a festival takes place each year to celebrate Tom Bawcock's bravery. During the festival, Star Gazey pies are eaten in memory of this famous event.
