. Situated in the heart of the exquisite village of Mousehole (with its harbour, sandy beach, art galleries and cafes), this former net loft stands as one of a row in a secluded position. Built in 1851, the holiday home has been sympathetically refurbished and retains many character features. Set yards from the sea, visitors can explore the winding streets and coastal paths, and in winter enjoy the Mousehole Christmas illuminations. Alternatively, Penzance and the Minack Theatre – an open air theatre hewn into the cliff - or Sennen (famous for surfing and its wide sandy beach) make for enjoyable days out. Shop 50 yards.

No fuel is provided for the Woodburner. Spiral stairs to first floor.
