Stylish refurbished retreat in the heart of Mousehole
Cool and chic this impeccably refurbished retreat is located in the heart of Mousehole, one of Cornwall’s most picturesque and sought after fishing villages. Although tucked away Mill House is just steps away from the stunning harbour where you can enjoy a fabulous selection of places to eat, drink and shop or lose yourself in the narrow streets in this idyllic little village. There is even a little sandy harbour beach, perfect for whiling away the day watching the boats come in and out. Thoughtfully styled Mill House is a comfortable home from home any time of the year. Sleeping five in three bedrooms, whether you’re a couple, two couples or a family looking to get away, this is a perfect Cornish base with the amazing bonus of being able to park right outside.
Entering into the sociable open plan living and dining area you will feel at home as you relax and sink into the large sofa in front of the wood burner. It is a calm space with exposed beams, wooden flooring and Cornish stone walls. The house is full of texture and the soft furnishings create a lovely atmospheric place to unwind. With the bespoke-fitted kitchen, just off the living area, keen cooks can keep in touch with those awaiting a feast around the beautiful rustic dining table.
The three comfortable bedrooms make the most of the light and continue the soft texturing from the living space. There is a bathroom and a separate shower on the first floor and there is an additional cloakroom on the ground floor. The lovely courtyard garden is a perfect spot for an alfresco breakfast together around the table or enjoy some sheltered sun and a good book on one of the wooden loungers.
This wonderful and spacious cottage exudes style and comfort and offers the very rare advantage of private parking right outside. A real retreat with a garden and a central location, Mill House is a charmingly elegant base where you can leave the car parked and enjoy so much from the doorstep.
Facilities:
LIVING
Entering into the spacious open plan living and dining area there is space to kick off your shoes at the entrance and feel at home instantly.

The rustic dining table comfortably seats six with four chairs and a bench. Sitting within the open plan living area it is illuminated by vintage lighting and offers a wonderfully social setting to enjoy long evening gatherings with a Cornish seafood feast.

Mousehole is Cornwall at its absolute best and it’s obvious as to why the iconic fishing village is such a popular location. Its origins date back as far as the 12th century when it was the main fishing port in Mounts Bay, and much of its old-world charm has remained. You can feel the history when you stroll around its higgledy-piggledy lanes.
The village hugs the coastline and is protected by Raginnis Hill, making it a real sun trap to soak up the Cornish sun. Mousehole is also a foodie hot-spot, with a good selection of restaurants, cafes, two delis, and the working harbour of Newlyn being in easy reach. Mousehole harbour lights are perhaps the most famous attraction, when hundreds of people each year come to see the village illuminated by Christmas lights.
Choose to make the most of the walks and places to visit within walking distance or use as a base to explore from and retreat back to. With so much within a half an hour drive you can really enjoy the best of the far west of Cornwall.
