   To find a light, spacious and really pretty cottage in Mousehole with private parking is quite rare. To find a cottage where you can sit out on a balmy summers evening under a glorious canopy of vines with hanging bunches of grapes must be unique! Hawthorn Cottage lies just on the edge of this sought after and famous little fishing village and has been extremely well appointed by the current owners. Configured in an L shape, the accommodation and living space is all on one level and overlooks the charming garden and patio area.

  The term 'al fresco' dining really comes into its own at Hawthorn Cottage as part of the garden is covered by an arbour with a mature vine.The cottage nestles in a relatively traffic free lane and a short stroll of 200 metres will bring you to the south cliff harbour and the tiny little sandy beach. Mousehole continues to attract visitors from all over the world as the quintessential Cornish fishing port with its picturesque crescent shaped harbour and donkey wide streets where you can discover a host of local craft shops, galleries and restaurants. The village is an ever changing canvas and can be just as enchanting in the depths of winter as it can during the summer months. Hawthorn Cottage benefits from efficient electric heating, part double glazing and an electric coal effect style stove in the lounge which keeps the cottage cosy and warm particularly when a force nine gale batters the village on dark and stormy nights!

  PLEASE NOTE: THIS PROPERTY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN.

  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.
