St Clements Cottage is a comfortable, whitewashed granite cottage on the water’s edge with glorious views of St Michael’s Mount, Mount’s Bay and the Lizard Peninsula. This beautifully furnished home set over three floors is an ideal location for guests to unwind in a relaxed environment.

St Clements Cottage has a granite fireplace with woodburning stove for cooler evenings which adds to the charm of this lovely home. St Clements cottage is east facing, just right for guests to wake up to the early morning sunshine streaming through the bedroom windows, accompanied by the relaxing sound of the sea lapping on the rocks below. The front garden is set on the edge of the sea wall, perfect for those close up views of passing fishing boats and the occasional basking seal. Although on the quiet outer edge of the village, it’s only a short stroll to the centre with its harbour beaches and selection of restaurants, shops, galleries and pub. Mousehole is a great location to unwind or to go out and about, with many villages, beaches and coves nearby. The South West Coast Path is only 25 metres from the cottage.

We stayed in St Clements Cottage in March 2024. It is more stunning than the pictures, the views are incredible from almost every window. It's most definitely our favourite holiday cottage and we've stayed in a lot over the years! Mousehole is a great place to stay and a great base from which to explore the surrounding areas. We particularly enjoyed Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens, St Michaels Mount, and the Minack Theatre. The log burner is cosy and there are loads of books to read. Sitting in the garden reading was a joy, listening to the waves below, watching the boats bobbing by and the seagulls swooping over the ocean!
It's just a short amble into lovely Mousehole and if you don't want to drive, a short bus ride will take you into Newlyn and / or Penzance, and there's great places to eat in Mousehole itself. The kitchen is well equipped, even for a big Sunday roast with all the trimmings.
We highly recommend a stay here, we were lucky with the weather but even on a rainy day, the cottage is so lovely it doesn't matter. We really didn't want to leave!

March 2024

St Clements is a very special property, you couldn't get closer to the sea. Waking up and going to sleep listening to the waves is so lovely. Spring or summer the house is so comfortable, spacious and well equipped, we love it!

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.

Visit at Christmas and experience the magical Mousehole Lights display!

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.

Places to visit near Mousehole

Venture near or far, with NewlynPorthcurno and Marazion all within a short drive or the cobbled streets of St Ives and the surfing beach of Sennen a little further away. Visit Penzance town to do some light shopping or head to Jubilee Pool to cool down after a long day of exploring. Wherever you want to go, our Mousehole self catering cottages make an ideal base from which to explore the towns and villages of West Cornwall.

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.

St Clements Cottage is in an ideal location with stunning sea views. We left the car for the week and used the local buses to get around - frequent service and cost effective. Short walk to the pubs and restaurants of Mousehole. Great walks from the door step. Kitchen well equipped for preparing meals during our stay.

Lovely peaceful place

We enjoyed another wonderful week in St Clements Cottage. The location is fantastic, you can sit for hours just watching the tide ebb and flow listening to the sea and the gulls. The house wants for nothing and Sharon the housekeeper does a great job. Everything was spotlessly clean when we arrived. St Clements is beautifully furnished and equipped and well maintained.

Stunning location,2 minute walk to shops and pub,great beach for young children

Wonderful cottage for a family with amazing views and a lovely garden. It's our second visit and would definitely come to this cottage again.

A very well positioned property,with lovely views,overlooking the sea.

The cottage is in a lovely location but could do with some tlc and it should be mentioned that the main bed is extremely high. We were told it was to take advantage of the view but the mattress was on a custom made wooden base with drawers under. I am 5'9" tall but it was extremely difficult to get in and out of bed and l had to buy a toddler step. I know there are 2 other bedrooms but one is only 4.6" and the other is on the top floor with no bathroom facilities. I wanted to point this out for more mature visitors. It would pr9bably be fine for young, agile visitors

This property really is all about that amazing location. The views from inside and outside the property are stunning, so the divan bed in the master bedroom really helps to make the most of them. We appreciate that some may find the height a struggle though, so we have now added a note to the website to highlight this, so that guests can make an informed decision on its suitability for them. Thank you for highlighting that. We will pass on your feedback regarding it needing some tlc. It is very unusual to hear that for this property. We aim to offer a wide range of properties that we hope will meet the different budgets, requirements and tastes of individuals, and try to show the style of decor as best as possible in the photos, so whilst this property is not marketed as one of our higher end/modern properties, the owners usually keep it very well maintained and we do hope that it was what you had expected from the pictures and description.

Spent January 2023 here - the delights of an early Cornish Spring. Lovely cottage with some of the best views of Mousehole and St Clements Island. So wonderful to enjoy an early morning coffee in the garden with these views and the sound of the sea crashing below and the gulls calling above. Magical! Can’t wait until the next visit.

We recently stayed in St Clements cottage. Mousehole is our favourite place at the moment. The cottage is very comfortable and clean.

A splendid house.

Excellent cottage in Mousehole. Very comfortable and clean. Will be returning.

We were thrilled to be back at St Clements Cottage and found everything in absolutely spotless order. The cottage had definitely been re decorated since our last visit and it was a joy to spend a week relaxing and watching the sea and the boats sailing by. It really is the best spot in Mousehole and we look forward to returning next year! Thank you Aspects team.

St Clements cottage is in the most wonderful location with the sun rising out at sea . Waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the fishing boats is blissful. Mousehole,as a location,provides the coffee shops, gift shops, restaurants and pubs you need. Great location with amazing beaches not too far away to drive to. Parking space a bonus. Booked again next year for my 3rd visit.

St Clements is a lovely cottage, comfortable, well equipped, and with great sea views. A really lovely position, plus a parking space. We enjoyed Mrs Seagull sitting on her nest outside the top bedroom window, she was very quiet and no trouble!

St Clements Cottage is worth every penny you pay. A bonus having a parking space behind the cottage albeit a very short but fairly steep 15 yard walk to and from the car. This is commonplace in these villages- terrific scenery but narrow and winding roads that are fine with a smaller car. We struggled slightly with our larger car but all roads are passable. The cottage is so lovely inside- the layout presents no problems and there is everything you need. The bedrooms have full sea views and the beds are comfy and roomy. Absolutely spotless and scones and clotted cream for us as well! Not many shops if that's what you like but a few lovely eateries and 3 pubs. The Rock Pool Cafe is the best with outstanding views. Try the mackerel pate- yum yum.

A comfortable clean cottage by the sea.

St Clements Cottage is in just the best location imagineable. Overlooking the sea wall, there are fascinating views in all weathers, from both the house and garden. Tastefully decorated, the quite spacious downstairs space is very cleverly laid out to provide different areas, even though it is really all one room. We found there was plenty of space for our party of 5 adults. The garden also has several seating areas, designed to make the very best of the amazing outlook. The parking space is a particular bonus in Mousehole; great to know you definitely have somewhere to park after a trip out. All the attractions of this beautiful village are within easy walking distance of the property. So hope to return one day!

A very comfortable cottage with lovely sea views.

St Clements exceeded our expectations, the outside and inside space is brilliantly thought out making the most of the spectacular sea view. Aspects also provided superb customer service from start to finish

St Clement’s Cottage more than lived up to our expectations. It was in the most stunning location, and provided all that we needed for a comfortable, cosy and relaxing holiday.

Didn't manage to read any of the books we brought, so distracted by the beauty of the view, the fishing boats and yachts passing by the channel, or simply the sound of the sea from our bed. No matter what time of year we go, we are always reluctant to leave.

We have just returned from a week at St Clements in Mousehole and had a brilliant holiday. This cottage could not be in a better position, it has sea views from all three of the bedrooms and waking up with the sun coming up over the little island opposite is breathtaking ,the kids even made us buy some binoculars so they could watch the seals which they spent ages doing aswell as hunting for fish and crabs in the rock pools The cottage itself is well equipped, we had everything we needed. Having the allocated parking space to the rear of the house was brilliant, navigating the windy streets was sometimes a challenge luckily we have a small car, I can imagine it would be a bit tricky if you had a large vehicle. Would definitely recommend this holiday.

Lovely view with a garden overlooking the sea/ Great to have parking at the property.

One of the best locations and views in mousehole. This far outweighs the fact that in part it could probably do with a little updating.

We know Mousehole very well and have spent many holidays there however this year was extra special as we had booked St Clements Cottage. We had the most idyllic week, waking up to the sound of the sea every morning was heavenly, sitting in bed and watching the boats passing by beautiful. The position has to be one of the best in Mousehole with the garden on the edge of the sea wall a peaceful haven yet minutes away from the bustle of the village. The cottage is a total home from home, very comfortable in every respect, furnished and decorated clearly with a great deal thought. Thank you to the owners for sharing their lovely home.

An excellent comfortable cottage right by the sea.

Beautiful cottage. Incredibly clean. Very well equipped. In a stunning location. Waking up to those views every morning was absolute heaven. Would 100 per cent recommend St Clements Cottage.

The cottage was beautiful. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped and the views were amazing.

We had the most wonderful relaxing holiday at St Clements Cottage. The views from the garden were absolutely stunning as was waking up to the sound of the sea everyday. Perfect weather thankfully so we could make the most of the spectacular garden and sea views. With the beach only metres away and easily accessibly it was the perfect beach retreat.

This is a lovely, comfortable,well equipped cottage with an outstanding view of the sea.

Mousehole and St Clements cottage in particular is a wonderful, peaceful retreat for able bodied guests and highly recommended to ‘recharge the batteries’.

A really lovely cottage

This cottage is simply perfect ! ??

A lovely comfortable cottage in Mousehole in an enviable position near the sea set on a traffic free lane.

Have already sent a testimonial. Please let me know if you need me to write more.

Fab position. Tranquil. Views to die for. Maybe a few more kitchen items - a casserole maybe.

We stayed in St Clements cottage for a week in July. The cottage was very comfortable and right by the sea. It also had a parking space. We will return to this cottage.

A lovely cottage in an amazing setting and location.

Lovely cosy cottage. Amazing views. We do not want to leave. Hope to be back again soon.

The cottage was perfect. To wake up to the sound of the sea was lovely and the sun rise each morning over the water was spectacular.

A lovely homely,comfortable cottage,in a wonderful location by the sea,its really like home from home.

This little house is beautiful. We hardly moved for a week, enjoying the view of mounts bay from every window, the little garden and all the local amenities. As expat Cornish people ourselves we can't wait to return to this lovely spot which would be perfect any time of year.

A wonderful week thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish! Mousehole is a lovely fishing village and a perfect location for children to play and adults to relax. The cottage is maintained to an extremely high standard, lying in bed listening to the sea at night and in the morning is blissful!

Simply lovely, we all felt as if it was our home since forever !

Very Good holiday

Location, location, location!
