Overview
Days start with warm croissants bought from the local bakery which can be shared at the dining table overlooking the bay, and end with dinner outside on the front terrace as the sun sinks into the water. The hours between can be spent meandering Mousehole’s quaint streets or exploring south Cornwall’s magnificent coastline, towns, and beaches.
Back home, laze back in the living room, pop your feet up with a good book and take in those incredible views. On clear days grab the binoculars and spot St Michael’s Mount in the distance, and if it’s chilly light the fire and get cosy. Whip up your own cheffy creations in the immaculate kitchen or retire to your gorgeous en-suite bedroom for an indulgent afternoon nap with the sound of the sea soothing you off to sleep. Eat, sleep, laugh and unwind, then wake up and do it all again; this wonderful home is the epitome of luxury coastal escapism.

Welcome to Mousehole
Before you book one of our Mousehole holiday cottages, you need to know one thing. The name of this beautiful little resort is pronounced ‘mowzul’. Now that’s cleared up, let’s begin. Arriving in this sleepy fishing village is a little bit like stepping into a fairytale. Found just three miles from Penzance, Mousehole is one of those destinations where time seems to stand still. Boats bob in the harbour, waves lap the beach and cafes serve the catch of the day. If you want to experience the Cornwall of days gone by, this is the perfect place to do it.

Beautiful cottage with an amazing location, would absolutely recommend! Loved spending the afternoon looking out to sea through the large windows

Hi Emily, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we thank you for the kinds words regarding the beautiful cottage and we are so glad to hear you enjoyed spending the afternoon looking out to the sea. Thank you for the feedback and the owner asked me to pass on that they are going to buy a thicker mattress topper. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

Lovely for an out-of-season break
4/5
4/5
The cottage is ideally located right on the harbour in Mousehole. The views from the dining table in the lounge are mesmerising. Parking was awkward (£5 all day in one of the nearby car parks) but would be awful in high season. We visited in January when the temperatures were sub-zero and were plenty warm enough. The cottage is clean, cosy and welcoming, just mind yourself on the narrow stairs. A welcome basket of goodies from the local deli was a nice touch. Downsides were that the dishwasher was pretty useless, and there was quite a bit of black mould in the main bedroom on the walls in the window area and elsewhere. Weirdly the paint on the bedroom walls flaked off, and every morning we awoke to our things being covered in a fine white dust which was both annoying and a little alarming when you think you've breathed it in all night too! There was enough hot water for showers for two people at a time, but you'd really struggle if there were four of you wanting showers at the same time of day. Mousehole is a seasonal destination and only one of the local pubs was open during the week we were there, and many shops were closed til Spring. Two restaurants were closed due to refurbishment too, so be mindful of this if you visit in winter. The plus side of course was that it was very peaceful with few tourists around, so it made for a relaxing break.

Hi Claire, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, glad to hear you had a relaxing break and enjoyed the welcome basket of goodies. We are sorry to hear you encountered some issues on your stay. The owner has said they will take a look at the dishwasher so thank you for letting us know about this. With the black mould we are sorry that was there during your stay, the cleaners have been asked to pay special attention to the areas that are subject to damp during the changeovers it is being repainted in due course. The paint dust is a common occurrence in Mousehole and it is believed to be the salt coming through the stone, the owners will ensure the cleaners thoroughly vacuum the wall itself as well as at the base of the wall at every changeover. They will be re-painting the wall in due course and plan to apply a type of paint that is specifically designed for stone. They use earthborn paint which is water based, virtually VOC (volatile organic components) free, free from harmful emissions and vegan friendly. The hot water system unfortunately cannot cope with two showers running at the same time but there should be enough hot water in the tank depending on the length of the showers, the hot water reheats in the morning and night the owner has now extended the heating time to ensure there is plenty of hot water. We are glad to hear you had a lovely stay enjoying the views, and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

A stunning property
4.7/5
4.7/5
We had a wonderful time here at Tides Reach in January. We found the beds comfortable, the showers excellent and everywhere was very clean. We loved sitting in the picture window in the early morning, watching the light change over the sea and the dawn skies clearing. One morning we were lucky to see gannets plunging into the sea, just beyond the sea wall. The binoculars were very useful. We loved the delicious produce left for us from the local shop, a fantastic resource for Mousehole, well worth a visit. Most eating places were closed in Mousehole in January but we had a fantastic meal at the Alverne in Penzance. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals at the cottage. We thought Mousehole was a great base for visiting all that West Cornwall has to offer.

Hi Jane, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, so glad to hear that the comfortable beds and views of the gannets from the window in the morning contributed to you having an enjoyable stay. Sorry to hear that most places to eat were closed but good to hear that the kitchen was well equipped for your needs. Best wishes, Luxury Coastal
