Rock House is simply gorgeous. We spent Christmas week there and it was absolutely perfect. It is beautifully furnished and so well equipped. The bedrooms are fantastic, the beds are comfortable and the ensuites are so clean and modern. Location is superb, practically on the beach and just a couple of minutes walk into the lovely little harbour with its shops and cafes but far enough out to be so quiet at night. Amazing sea view as well. Loved every moment and so didn't want to come home. Would not hesitate in recommending and hopefully will return.Thank you Aspect Holidays for a truly amazing Christmas.

With easy access to the coastal footpath, head east to discover Gunwalloe Fishing Cove, Polurnan Cliffs and Mullion Cove or head west and marvel at Praa Sands, Perranuthnoe and Marazion.

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.

Aug 2019

The house was beautiful. Nicely finished and well looked after. All of the things we needed for a holiday in Cornwall. The location is great, its close enough to Porthleven to be able to walk with a 2 year old, but far enough out to be quiet in the evening. Great views from the living room of the sea too. Great house, will definitely be returning!

We had the most amazingly holiday. The customer service from Aspect Holidays was exceptional. The Rock House is gorgeous, the attention to detail is fantastic. Can’t wait to come back
