About this cottage rental
A bustling fishing port until the mid 16th Century, the picturesque village of Mousehole nestles on the south coast of Cornwall between Penzance and Land's End.
Today, its narrow, winding streets are lined with small shops, galleries and restaurants, while a pretty harbour edged with traditional, granite cottages crouches protected from the prevailing storms by two imposing breakwaters that give it its distinctive shape. Perfectly in keeping with Mousehole's fishing port heritage, Mariners Cottage is an original 17th Century fisherman's cottage with a charming, whitewashed façade and staggering views from every sea-facing window.
Recently refurbished and elegantly updated, this lovely home offers a bright and inviting space, with a combination of coast-inspired décor and authentic features, that create a chic and relaxing atmosphere throughout. Arranged over three floors, two lovely bedrooms can be found upstairs with a gorgeous master bedroom on the first floor and a sumptuous twin room on the upper. Both rooms have crisp, high quality linen and feature large sash windows; perfect for taking in the sweeping oceanscape views and enjoying the ever-changing moods of the sky. Downstairs, the delightful living area in calming, neutral tones is open-plan with the well-designed kitchen, and has an inviting sofa and two occasional chairs arranged cosily around a fabulous wood-burning stove.
Stepping out through the stable door to the front of the cottage is a fantastic, enclosed waters' edge garden with wonderful far-reaching views over Mount's Bay towards St Michael's Mount and Lizard Point. Comfortably furnished with a table and plenty of seating, it's the ideal place for fresh-air dining or for enjoying a glass of bubbly while watching the sun set over the water.
*Please note that this property has a low wall separating the terrace from a large drop down to the water’s edge. Children and dogs will need to be supervised when using this area.
**This property allows one small dog only. Guests visiting with a pet will need to provide proof of a recent flea treatment before arrival.
***Guests will need to bring own kindling and logs for the wood-burning stove.
Good Housekeeping Bond
We ask our guests for a £100 good housekeeping bond, which is pre-authorised against your card. This is in case there is any damage to the property during your stay. The money is simply reserved and then released afterwards if there is no claim. We will contact you nearer the time of your arrival to arrange this.

Mariners cottage is quite simply beautiful. With views from every window over the water the cottage is small but very definitely perfectly formed. The only slight inconvenience is the need to park quite a way from the cottage once you have unloaded but who cares when you are staying in as magical a place as Mousehole. The cottage is very well equipped and the wood burner is wonderful when the Cornish weather decides to declare itself! Mousehole itself has a variety of lovely places to eat and drink as does nearby Newlyn -a complete heaven for fish lovers. Cannot wait to come back

Fantastic position and a very cozy feel to this charming holiday house.
Disappointing, then, that the heating was off on arrival and it was freezing for the first 24hrs; not helped by a paucity of wood supply and a box of matches with - one - match…
Excellent bath and shower room.

We had such a lovely quiet Christmas by the sea in Mousehole at Mariners Cottage. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and location was perfect.

Mariner’s Cottage is situated in a very quiet position with uninterrupted sea views. The cottage is cosy and with the heaters on you don’t really need to light the wood burner.
The bedrooms are comfortable and the view out to sea when sitting in bed was delightful. It is beautifully decorated and it feels very homely with the art work and decoration.
We would definitely return and highly recommend.
