Book

A perfect day begins spending a few precious, stolen moments with toes buried in the warm golden sand, with a good book and piping hot coffee in hand. Just steps away from Mousehole's picturesque harbour, Bell Cottage is perfectly located for an idyllic holiday by the sea. Pop into the harbour front delicatessen just around the corner and pick up some warm pastries, for when the rest of the family rise. Set over three floors and welcoming five guests, Bell Cottage (formerly named An Dygi) was once a traditional fisherman's cottage and has now been lovingly renovated into a charming holiday home. Spend lazy, sunny afternoons sunbathing or building sandcastles and paddling in the cool, crystal clear waters on one of Mousehole's sandy beaches. With glimpses of the sea, Bell Cottage's shared decking area is a great spot for a sundowner gin and tonic as the day draws to a close.

Within a minute or two from the cottage, find yourself strolling along the harbour, perusing the gift shops and galleries or having a refreshing glass of Cornish cider in the Ship Inn on the harbour. Open for breakfasts, takeaway lunches and evening meals, Mousehole Deli is close at hand. Enjoy fine dining at The Old Coastguard Hotel and mouthwatering dishes at 2 Fore Street with a sea view. Stroll into neighbouring Newlyn bedside the sea to purchase the freshest fish for supper and dinner at The Fisherman's Arms and Mackerel Sky in Newlyn are a must too. The incredible St Michael's Mount, magical Minack Theatre and glorious Porthcurno Beach or Sennen Cove are all just a short drive away. From surfing lessons and fishing trips, to strolling around tropical gardens, there is something for everyone close by. Bell Cottage is an ideal base for a family or group of friends looking to make precious, lasting memories.

Had a great two weeks in Bell Cottage. The location is great, right in the middle of Mousehole next to the various shops and restaurants. Had no issues parking the car at the harbour and regularly left it, instead using the electric Berly bikes or the frequent bus service. You can effortlessly cycle to Newlyn, Penzance, or Marazion. Great facilities in the cottage made it as comfortable as is possible, with the three bedrooms being invaluable in allowing the kids to find their own space.

This house is a real find. Nestled in the beautiful streets of Mousehole and only a stones throw from the beautiful harbour. Lovely view watching all the comings and going’s of the village. Really enjoyed our stay.

Holidays in Mousehole

Mousehole is an idyllic village and fishing port with quaint cobbled streets full of bistros and art-galleries. Sit on the harbour and admire views of St Michael’s Mount or take a short drive to nearby Marazion to walk along the golden sands.

Mousehole is a great community with a fantastic atmosphere, and self catering in Mousehole is effortless. Enjoy harbour views and artisan foods at Mousehole Deli & kitchen, afternoon tea at the Tremayne Tea Room or sit down for an evening meal at 2 Fore Street, a French bistro-style restaurant on Mousehole harbour front. Finish off your evening with a pint of local ale at the Ship Inn, one of the famous St Austell Brewery establishments. For more info, read our blog post on Eating out in Mousehole.

Things to do in Mousehole

Mousehole is best when entered on foot, or bus, or bike. Cars are not the way to see Mousehole and best left outside. If you have to bring a car, there’s a big car park on the Penzance side of the village, close to The Old Coastguard Hotel.

Christmas lights

Mousehole has celebrated Christmas with beautiful lights for 40 years! The village is a winter wonderland in the dark nights and grey seas of winter. Many villages have light shows today but Mousehole is special. Holiday cottages overlooking the harbour always enjoy an extra special Cornish Christmas. Read more on our blog about Mousehole lights.

Walks around Mousehole

For those who are not so content with staying in their holiday homes, the walks around Mousehole are a joy all year round.  There are some fabulous circular walks but we think there's something particularly satisfying about catching a bus from Mousehole and walking back in (especially if your walk exits the village in a north of westerly direction; you'll soon discover the town is nestled at the bottom of a very steep hill!)  Read our blog on Mousehole Walks.

Coasteering in Mousehole

If you're seeking adrenaline and adventure, check out Coasteering Adventures.

Mousehole is one of Cornwall’s top Coasteering destinations. Nestled in the shelter of Mounts Bay, Mousehole offers multiple coasteering routes for all ages and abilities. Coasteering Adventures are thrilled to be the exclusive provider of coasteering from this location. Book an adventure and you will experience cliff jumping, sea swimming, climbing, bouldering, exploring caves and floating through gullies. With each session tailored to the group, you can choose the level that you are comfortable with.

Dating back to the 13th century Mousehole has a rich history tying it to the sea. 1595 saw all but 1 house (which still stands today) burned to the ground by the Spanish armada. 100 Years later Mousehole became a haven for the ‘Barbary Pirates’ with a number of caves on the route being where their treasure was hidden. During the 1800’s Mousehole settled into a thriving fishing village and you’ll regularly see the small fishing boats from Mousehole pass our groups whilst out on route.

These days there are fewer boats fishing from the village but there is an active fishing fleet operating out of nearby Newlyn, a town worth a visit on its own account.

Events

Tom Bawcock's Eve, Mousehole

Every year, the people of Mousehole celebrate the bravery of Tom Bawcock. Years ago, when the boats couldn't get out in the storms, the villages had no fish to eat. Tom dared to take his boat out and returned with enough fish to make a Star Gazey fish pie for the whole village.

We loved our time at Bell Cottage, one of the best places we've stayed in Mousehole. It's really well located with immediate access to the harbour. Inside its had extensive refurbishment to a modern standard, with a lovely kitchen and bathroom, and well sized bedrooms with comfy beds. The shared area out the back is one of it's best assets, providing a nice place to sit and watch the harbour, as well as somewhere to dry wetsuits and keep beach gear. Very highly recommended, we plan to be back in the future.
