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.

Mousehole Holidays
Wish you were already here? Watch our Mousehole webcam>
Mousehole is a great community with a fantastic atmosphere, and self catering in Moushole is effortless. Enjoy 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.
Mousehole Sea Salts & Sail Festival
Taking place every two years, this maritime festival celebrates Mousehole's fishing heritage with traditional sailing boat races and many other activities and entertainment for the whole family. 2014 was the festival's tenth biennial festival, taking place on the 11th, 12th & 13th July. Read our blog post from the event here: Sea Salts and Sail Festival.
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.
Things to do near Mousehole
Venture near or far, with Newlyn, Porthcurno 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.

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.

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
Mrs Iliffe Oct 2020
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.
Mrs Groom Oct 2020
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.
Mr Morley Oct 2020
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.
Mrs Champion Sep 2020
Lovely view with a garden overlooking the sea/ Great to have parking at the property.
Mrs Appleby Aug 2020
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.
Miss Sandercock Jul 2019
An excellent comfortable cottage right by the sea.
Mrs Brown Jun 2019

Mr Simons Jun 2019
The cottage was beautiful. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped and the views were amazing.
Mrs Sheppard Sep 2018
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.
Mrs Mott May 2018

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!
