Hirondelle Barn

LauraRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Great stay at the barn, Richard and Karen super friendly and let us know about what to do in the vicinity. Barn was super clean and bigger than expected, everything worked well and there was essentials and milk and shortbread on arrival which I find so helpful and thoughtful. We stayed with our baby boy and it was the perfect base for exploring the surrounding areas. We walked from the barn down on to the coastal path which was lovely.

Superbly appointed 2 bed, 2 bath detached barn

RobynRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Very patient hosts (we got lost-and Philippa came to get us.) Very generously provisioned with bread, tea, coffee, milk, orange juice and a Cornish cream tea. Scones were delicious! The kitchen had everything needed for cooking at home every night. Beautiful decor, large, clean bathrooms with great water pressure and comfy beds. A lovely pastoral setting down a country road. Highly recommended as a base for exploring Cornwall.

Large holiday home in Marazion with sea views

SukhninderRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Amazing place with awesome views. We all were surprised at how much larger the place was when we arrived, compared to the photos. A lovely place and location and even though we had to leave early due to a family emergency, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

Seaside Bungalow

ChereneRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Lovely 5 night stay at Lucy’s bungalow. Lucy was really helpful and kept in contact and let us know that we could get in a bit earlier. The bungalow was clean and well equipped for our stay with little things like an iron, airer and fridge/freezer that make life easier. The beds were comfy and the location was peaceful. There were thorough instructions in the bungalow and recommendations. The bungalow itself is a little way out of St Ives but only a ten min drive and 5 mins to Carbis Bay. There is also a bus stop at the site and a nearby train station that offers park and ride which is great for taking in stunning views along the coast. We had a lovely time and would happily return to this accommodation.

Your guide to Mousehole

Welcome to Mousehole, England

Mousehole is as cute and perfectly formed as its name might imply. This fishing village, located on the south coast of Cornwall between Penzance and Land’s End, has been transformed in recent years from a working harbour (it was once Cornwall’s busiest pilchard port) to a tourist must-see, combining bracing coastal walks with stunning ocean vistas and fabulous cuisine from a number of new bistros and eateries, plus the delights of surfing nearby.

Mousehole has retained its original character, featuring lichen-coloured fishermen’s cottages and steeply winding streets dotted with independent shops and galleries. There’s a small but lovely beach in a sheltered part of the harbour that’s perfect for families or to enjoy a picnic supplied from one of the fine delis in the town. Though it’s a great place to visit in the summer months, the town is also famous for its Christmas illuminations, centred on Tom Bawcock’s Eve on December 23rd, a community party where a huge fish pie is baked and consumed quayside.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Mousehole

You may very well feel like a tinned pilchard if you visit the town during the high season summer months, when the narrow streets and quayside are cramped. In May, June, and September, you’ll enjoy fine weather and slightly more deserted streets. The sea has a certain dramatic quality if you take to the coastal trails during the winter months. But there’s plenty going on in Mousehole throughout the year. Christmas is a particularly special time with the town illuminations and the Tom Bawcock festival, but there’s also the Sea, Salts and Sail festival in July, which combines great food, live music, and boating action.


Top things to do in Mousehole

Sennen Cove

Believe it or not, some of the finest surfing on the planet can be found in Cornwall. Just a few miles outside Mousehole you’ll come across Sennen and the accompanying spots of Whitsand Bay and Gwenver, teeming with Atlantic swells that can rival the more famous breaks on the north coast. If you’re looking for some pointers, there’s a local surf school in the area, plus bars and restaurants for that all-important apres-surf.

Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens

Situated in a beautiful valley overlooking St Michael’s Mount, these serene, flowing gardens combine exotic plants (the microclimate helps them flourish), breathtaking scenery, and a programme of contemporary, site-specific sculpture and art. It’s a wonderful place for a wander, followed by a slap-up Cornish cream tea.

Walk to Lamorna

There are some top walks and trails in this region, but one of the most popular is this glorious route from Mousehole to Lamorna Cove and back. It takes you through a number of nature reserves and beautiful countryside before heading along the coast with amazing views of Kemyel Point, Carn Du, and St Michael’s Mount. Take some sturdy footwear and waterproofs, just in case.
