  The location of this beautiful old fisherman's cottage can be summed up in just two words, simply stunning! Perched right on the waters edge with glorious views of St Michaels Mount, Mounts Bay and the Lizard Peninsula, this is the perfect location for a family or couples who just want to get away from it all and relax in an extremely comfortable and peaceful environment. St. Clements Cottage is situated in a traffic free terrace of character properties which all benefit from small patio gardens that sit on the very edge of the sea wall; perfect for that early morning breakfast in the sunshine or a chilled glass of white wine and al fresco dining as the sun goes down. The accommodation extends over three floors with the main living area situated on the ground floor and the bedrooms spread over two floors to further appreciate those wonderful views. In fact it is perfectly possible to sit in bed with an early morning cup of tea and watch the constant flow of nautical traffic as it ebbs and flows in and out of Mousehole and Newlyn harbours. St Clements Cottage has been completely renovated and decorated in warm, soft colours and tastefully furnished throughout. The owners have tried to ensure that the cottage caters for the demands of the 21st century traveller and have installed broadband, freeview and DVD with surround sound. Whilst situated on the western extremity of the village, it is but a short stroll along the sea wall/terrace to the centre with its range of restaurants, shops, galleries, donkey wide streets and inns. St. Clements Cottage has been a well-kept secret but be warned; it will not be a secret for long, so book early to avoid disappointment!

  With a profusion of narrow streets, donkey wide alleys and history at every turn, Mousehole is the epitome of a picturesque Cornish fishing village in a simply stunning setting. In fact Dylan Thomas who spent much of his honeymoon in the village described Mousehole as the prettiest village in all England.
  Located just three miles westward from Penzance on the curve of Mounts Bay, the village is centred around an almost completely circular harbour with a small and truly charming beach which always proves popular with families, particularly those with small children.
  Mousehole has largely resisted modern day trappings and remains unspoiled by 21st century developments. Working fishing boats still ply their trade from the harbour which is protected from the might of the Atlantic by two sturdy breakwaters, (Cornwall’s earliest and begun in 1393) and today are accompanied by visiting yachts and pleasure craft, making the panorama of the harbour truly peaceful and idyllic.
  The village itself is a veritable maze of granite and slate cottages, winding narrow streets and cobbled alleyways which have a magic and mystery all of their own amd just waiting to be explored. Virtually unchanged by time, its natural beauty and charm still attracts many artists, drawn by its unique atmosphere and beautiful light.
  The famous National Trust cliff walk round the Land’s End Peninsula starts at Mousehole. One of its most beautiful stretches is south from the village to Lamorna Cove and the Coastal Footpath continues towards Penberth and Porthcurno. The whole walk is full of breathtaking scenery and the immediate and surrounding coastline is officially designated an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ by the National Trust.

  Mousehole has a fine selection of craft and gift shops and small art galleries and in addition to some excellent pubs and restaurants (which serve the freshest fish you will ever enjoy, landed and delivered daily from nearby Newlyn).There is an enviable choice of tearooms serving quite delicious Cornish cream teas with mountains of golden clotted cream and superb fresh crab sandwiches.
