Overview

8 Millpool is a charming 19th Century semi-detached cottage in the coastal village of Mousehole; known for its attractive tangle of narrow streets, picturesque harbour, and artistic community.

Original features retain the soul of this once humble dwelling which is now a beautifully styled holiday home. Modern décor and furnishings, as well as a fabulous kitchen, lounge and two light-filled bedrooms mean guests have all they need to enjoy a truly comfortable stay, while a terraced back garden offers sunny outdoor space for warm weather relaxation. The cottage also has a second living space on its upper floor, which is the perfect place for catching up on a good book, or for soaking up the winter sun when the weather is cooler.

Mousehole harbour is just a couple of minutes’ walk away which means you have the seaside and beach on your doorstep. Dotted around the harbour are several fab places to grab a bite including Mousehole Deli & Kitchen, Ship Inn and 2 Fore Street Restaurant which has terrific views across Mount's Bay.

If you are looking to explore further afield, Penzance lies a short car trip away, as does Marazion where you can enjoy a big, sandy beach or walk to the iconic St Michael's Mount at low tide. Closer still is Lamorna Cove which is about a 15-minute drive or an hour’s walk via the South West Coastal Path which sports wonderful coastal views along the way.

8 Millpool accepts 1 small dog
