Cottage vacation rentals in Mousehole

We’ve just spent a wonderful four nights here, absolutely loved it. Helen is a wonderful host, property was exactly as described, warm and cosy, lovely homely feel. Big bonus with this property is the free onsite parking, a rarity in Polperro. The walk back up from the village is a bit slower, but is how it’s described in the listing. We preferred to go to & fro the village via Brackenside lane (follow google maps) which continues onto a pretty woodland path and down a long flight of steps coming out near the ice cream shop. The ice cream shop is amazing! Beautiful lunch at The Three Pilchards and the views from the roof terrace eating area are spectacular. Would definitely recommend this property to others.

Our first air b&b experience as a family of 4 (2 kids age 7&10) and it has definitely set a high standard! We arrived to Cornwall on the wettest day - not what we imagined! But as soon as we stepped in the cottage it felt like a holiday straight away. We headed to the shop (10 second walk) for logs and fired up the log burner, found everything we needed in the kitchen to cook dinner and had a board game and movie night! We were blessed with sunshine for the rest of the stay so headed to beaches for surf lessons and horseriding - the cottage is such a great location and close to plenty of gorgeous beaches. We found a play park behind the cottage near the village hall which the girls enjoyed very much. The cottage is tastefully decorated, plenty of clothes storage for a short stay and the beds are so comfy!! Hot tub is a great addition - we would have loved to have stayed longer to enjoy this more as we only had time to get in once. We will definitely return in future.

Lovely cottage in a stunning location. Excellent hosting, nice welcome treat (thanks!). The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay, we catered in and didn't eat out at all. The lounge is comfortable but sadly the weather was far too warm to justify lighting the log burner! Wifi was great, we streamed a film one evening without issue. The location is incredible, loads of walks directly from the door, including up to castle ruins just at the top of the hill. To be able to stomp up the hill to the prehistoric stones and watch the sun set over the sea, then stroll back down at dusk to sit in the hot tub and watch the stars come out, was truly magical.

Beautiful accommodation just like in the pictures. So dreamy and the hot tub is the cherry on the top! Overall a lovely stay with great hosts. Just make sure to buy enough firewood, the house is a little bit cold in spring (which is normal for an older building). I would definitely come back anytime! Thanks Beckie & Vince!

The stay at Damson Cottage was an extremely relaxing experience. We really loved ending our Cornwall trip here! We both loved how it was decorated, the surroundings and the overall vibe of the place! Would definitely recommend

The house was absolutely lovely, great surroundings with a tiered very private garden that has an amazing fire pit. The hot tub is a great bonus for the evenings and isn’t overlooked at all. Cosy home with lovely blankets and lots of board games to keep you entertained. We would definitely come back!

We loved our stay at bumblebee cottage. It was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Loved the attention to detail and was very thankful for the welcome pack. The hot tub is private and a great size for relaxing. Tracy our host was very communicative, friendly and at hand for any questions. We will definitely be returning. Our children loved it that much they asked if we could move in.

We stayed at Fiona’s for two nights with my sisters and mum, and we only wish we’d had more time! It was the perfect escape; peaceful, cosy, and incredibly welcoming. The private hot tub with breathtaking views was a real highlight, and waking up to that scenery each morning was such a treat. We also took the scenic coastal path to Sennen, which took about 30 minutes and was well worth it. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be returning. Thanks again, Fiona!

Fantastic stay. Cottage exceeded all expectations. Thanks again 🫶❤️

Had a lovely time at Belinda’s cottage . The area was fantastic, located near walks, pubs , beaches and fantastic scenery, couldn’t have asked for more. Belinda was a great host , helpful advise and around if you needed anything . Thankyou very much .

Beautiful cottage in a fantastic location. We enjoyed five nights here (which felt like two!), and spent our time walking to the local beaches and enjoying the sunsets.

We had a lovely stay at Jess's place and as a family of 4 with 2 dogs, the cottage had lots of space and is in a very peaceful location. The cottage is dog friendly with an enclosed back garden. If we are in the area again, we'd definitely re-book.

We had a fantastic time at Jenny’s lovely cottage! Jenny is kind and helpful, and communicated throughout to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The cottage is beautifully decorated and the garden and location is a little peace of heaven. Small mishap with the cleaning at arrival, but quickly resolved with a very friendly housekeeper. Thank you so much for having us, we’ll be back soon!

The Barn was well presented and very neat, tidy and homely. Amy made it very easy to find with proactive communication. It would be a great place to base yourself if you were prepared to drive but we wanted to walk into town and it is not as convenient because you had to walk down and then up very steep hills. Overall the accomodation exceeded our expectations. Thanks Amy. Great place to relax.

A beautiful gem in a fabulous serene location near so many brilliant places in Cornwall. Perfectly furnished and thoughtful set up. Super helpful and friendly host - down to getting the bbq ready for us and being able to hose down wetsuits on site plus lots of great local recommendations - plus very quick responses and let us know we could check in early. Could not recommend enough (except to ensure there’s some availability next summer so we can return!). Exactly what we needed and such a stunning private garden too - ideal if you are bringing a furry friend. Many thanks and hope to be back soon

A cosy cottage situated within walking distance of St Ives in a pleasant rural setting. Friendly and communicative hosts, would stay again!

Lovely place as a base for a great holiday in Cornwall with the family!

Wonderful family stay at Winnie’s cottage. In beautiful surroundings and in beautiful accommodation. Family break where everything was provided and so much more opportunities. From the log burning to the opportunity to have a cozy bbq set up. Surrounded by animals in a sublime environment. Immaculate cottage where everything was provided, even a welcome gift by an amazing host, Maria, who was welcoming and inviting throughout our visit.

Claire and Chris were extremely hospitable and flexible. We arrived at a rather unsociable hour, but they were both more than understanding and welcoming. This little gem is spotless and fresh, with tasteful decor and a timeless Cornish cottage feel. Claire left some great snacks etc which were most welcome after a long drive. The location is great, too, with the A30 literally a few minutes drive away, and super close to the lively Lanivet Inn. Couldn’t recommend enough for both tourists, and (once!) locals coming back to Cornwall to visit.

Mark & Julie were fantastic hosts, we really appreciated the courtesy call a few days before arrival. Once there they were always on hand if needed, but gave us our privacy also. The house is spotless and has everything you need - I honestly could not find a single fault with the accommodation! We would definitely come back!

We all thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay in this wonderful cottage. It truly felt like a home away from home—very comfortable, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed, especially in the kitchen. We all slept really well, which says a lot about how cosy it was. The gardens were a real highlight, we loved spending time out there, listening to the birds in the morning . Such a peaceful and relaxing setting. The hosts were fantastic, extremely helpful and full of useful information about the area. The cottage is just a lovely few minutes’ stroll into the village, We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing break in Cornwall.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely cottage near Newquay, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The cottage offered an incredibly peaceful and quiet atmosphere, perfect for relaxing and unwinding. David and Becky were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Their attention to detail and warm hospitality made all the difference from the welcoming cream tea to making sure we were all settled once we arrived after a long drive. The location was another highlight. Situated just a short distance from the town center, it was incredibly convenient to explore Newquay's shops, restaurants, and beaches, yet far enough removed to maintain a sense of tranquility. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway with all the comforts of home, a nice view and a touch of charm, this cottage is the perfect choice. I can’t recommend it enough!

Absolutely beautiful place to stay in Cornwall. It felt like we were abroad as we were able eat breakfast outside our little cottage because the weather was so gorgeous. The cottage was very comfortable - great sofa, comfy bed, great shower. Felt like home. We loved the peaceful surroundings and enjoyed the beautiful views. We also fell in love with Polperro just down the road. A must visit! We were very sad to leave at the end of our stay.

This was the most fantastic of places to stay! It’s wonderful and homely and in beautiful rural surroundings with cornfields and historic sites but only a short walk from the local village. Juliet was a brilliant host; she went above and beyond to help even supplying me and my partner with some food upon arrival after a very delayed train journey! She answered any questions I had quickly and simply couldn’t have been better! The cottage itself is just lovely and I didn’t really want to leave! It’s beautifully decorated, clean and super comfortable. I strongly recommend anyone considering staying here to do so! I’m sure you’ll love it just as much as I did!
