Driftwood Cottage - Mousehole
Mousehole, a quaint fishing port nestled on Cornwall's south-west coast, lies just 3 miles south of Penzance amidst an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its picturesque harbour serves as a focal point, offering captivating views and bustling with local fishing activities. The town's charm emanates from its narrow, cobblestone streets adorned with traditional stone cottages, evoking an enchanting old-world ambiance. Renowned among artists and photographers for its scenic allure and serene atmosphere, Mousehole beckons nature lovers with its stunning coastal vistas and abundant wildlife. Coastal walks abound, and birdwatchers and marine enthusiasts will delight in the diverse avian and aquatic life thriving in Mousehole's waters. Nearby attractions such as the Minack Theatre in Porthcurno and the captivating St Michael’s Mount in Marazion, both within 9 miles, promise unforgettable experiences for visitors. Nestled among a row of charming granite cottages, this property boasts a perfect blend of traditional charm and contemporary comfort, just a short stroll away from the bustling harbour. Step inside through the rear entrance and you’ll be greeted by the inviting kitchen/breakfast room with a staircase leading to the upper floor. The ground floor reveals a cosy living room with its feature exposed granite wall, where you can relax in front of the Smart TV on the plush sofa and armchairs.

Wonderful Cornwall Cottage
Apologies for the late review. The cottage was just perfect for the three of us (my wife, 18 year-old son), and our golden retriever. The place is charming and well maintained and very comfortable. The garden was especially lovely and we appreciated the cream tea that was waiting for us when we arrive.
