  Poldark Cottage has all the charms of a Cornish cottage and benefits from a separate Netloft/Annexe to the rear of the property which is ideal for teenagers or grandparents who may require a little quiet time whilst on holiday! Dating back to the early 1800's Poldark Cottage is just 50 yards from the picturesque fishing harbour of Mousehole, the cottage is ideally situated for exploring the local area, lands end, Sennen, St.Ives, lizard peninsula and many more places of interest to explore by car or by bus if you would like a break from driving.

  Poldark Cottage is available for smaller groups of 2 and is open all year; one of the most popular times is from mid December to New Year for the Mousehole Lights when the harbour comes alive with thousands of brightly coloured lights.

  The cottage is really quite charming, the open plan lounge has painted beams and the cottage bedrooms have stripped wooden floors, a mix of modern and traditional furnishings together with an original open fire for those chilly nights when you need to get cosy! The Netloft has a double bedroom with views of the courtyard, a shower room and well equipped kitchenette, access is across a secure enclosed passage with seating area and room for storage of surf boards, fishing rods etc. This leads to a pretty courtyard filled with flowers, a nice place to enjoy and cup of tea/coffee and is shared with the adjoining cottage. The neighbouring property is used as a private second home and the owners are friendly and accommodating when guest are visited Poldark.

   Mousehole is an enchanting and thriving little village that rarely disappoints the visitor as there is a plethora of galleries, craft shops, tea shops and restaurants hidden away in the maze of narrow little streets and donkey wide alleyways that are waiting to be discovered.

  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.
