Our family of four had a really lovely fortnight in Mowzer cottage. The beds were comfy and the rooms bright and airy, we particularly liked lying in bed in the back room in the mornings with a cup of coffee looking out over the harbour. The living room was very comfy and bright, good selection of books which I managed to read a couple of! The kitchen was very well stocked with equipment, everything you would need for the week. The outside area at the back was very useful for drying wetsuits and storing the SUP, and the little table and chairs was nice for a morning coffee. All in all a great holiday and we would highly recommend.

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.

A brief history of Mousehole

Today Mousehole is beautiful and welcoming holiday destination This popular holiday destination has seen more than its fair share of hardtimes tragedy over the years.

The Quay was built in 1392, holding the harbour like a pair of protective arms. Fishing was always important to Mousehole. 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. Read more about the History of Mousehole on our blog.

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 had a great stay at Mowzer cottage. The cottage is in a perfect location, and a 5 minute walk to the harbour. The cottage is quaint and idyllic with a lovely cornish theme. It is home from home comfort, and you will not be disappointed. If you are looking for a traditional cornish holiday Mowzer is the perfect choice.

My family and I had a fantastic short break in Mousehole. The cottage is very comfortable, beautifully furnished and well equipped. An excellent location from which to explore the South West of Cornwall, with a very useful bus service to Newlyn and Penzance.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Mowzer Cottage. Perfectly placed for everything that wonderful Mousehole offers. The cottage was so warm, comfortable and well designed. Really couldn’t fault our stay. We’ll be back !!!

We had the most amazing family holiday in Mowzer cottage. Perfectly located for all amenities and the harbour. The cottage is very comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. We would strongly recommend and were very sad to leave.

Loved this cottage very cleverly designed, everything you need for a great stay Close to harbour and restaurants The owners have furnished this cottage beautifully

Excellent location, tastefully decorated, well presented and well equipped. The owners had thought of everything, even rugs for a chilly evening.

Please be aware the accommodation is over 3 levels with the bathroom on the lowest floor.

Amazing location ..immaculate condition .. everything you could need for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. Great service from Aspects and owners and cleaners of Mowzer who have paid every attention to detail to help you enjoy your stay. We would definitely stay again and at Mousehole .. a little piece of paradise.

This was our 2nd visit to Mowzer cottage and we love it so much. The cottage is gorgeous and is very close to the harbour. We could tell there had been some excellent changes this time, from the new owners, all of which were very much appreciated. We visit Mousehole every year, it is so beautiful whatever the weather. We hope there are many more visits to Mowzer cottage to come in the future.

We had the most wonderful stay at Mowzer Cottage. There are warnings in the description about the stairs, and our youngest is 18 months, but it was totally fine. There is a stable type door from the living room down to the kitchen, as well as a door leading to upstairs. So if you have small/crawling children you can shut both doors and you don’t need to worry! There was also a high chair in the property, which Aspect holidays said couldn’t be provided, but the owners kindly have. The location is wonderful, I loved laying in bed looking out to sea. And we used the back door more than the front, as this opens onto a little path thats closer to the harbour than the front door. It also meant I could leave sandy things by the back door and pop the kids straight into the bath! The bathroom is on the lower floor off the kitchen, and there is also a WC on the top floor next to the bedrooms. The kitchen was really well equipped, and we enjoyed buying lobster at the weekly farmer market and cooking it for dinner in the cottage. It is also very quiet, no cars can fit down there so you don’t get any traffic noise. Thank you for a very comfortable and relaxing stay, we loved it!

Mowzer Cottage is 'home from home' - clean, tidy, very well equipped and nicely decorated. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The Sales

We found this cosy cottage perfect for our Christmas visit to Mousehole. Everything we needed was provided.

We had a lovely summer holiday in Mowzer cottage. Right in the heart of the village and in a quiet, traffic free street. Spread over three floors with ample space to chill out after the day's adventures. Swimming in the harbour, jumping the harbour wall, rockpooling, relaxing in the deli and checking out the galleries just a few of the village delights.

We have visited Mousehole several times and we love it here we will be back again.??

A comfortable and very quiet cottage with all amenities required in the cottage. We had a very comfortable stay.

A beautiful, charming cottage close to everything Mousehole has to offer we had a lovely stay.

This is a lovely place to stay.

A lovely, comfortable cottage in the heart of the village - perfect for a family of four.

A fantastic place to stay especially for a winter week in mousehole. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

Had a lovely stay at Seashells, the property gives you everything you could need. It was perfectly cosey in the evenings and situated in a lovely picturesque village, but was close enough to local amenities.
