  NEW - If your idea of food heaven is to rent a superbly appointed apartment that sits above an award winning & chic bistro that is run by an ex Raymond Blanc trained chef and has fabulous views over one of the most beautiful and picturesque fishing harbours in the world, then you have probably arrived! The Boat Watch is a stylish and contemporary apartment located above No2 Fore Street which is a relaxed and charming French style eatery which has been slowly gathering a loyal and ardent following amongst discerning foodies since its conception in 2009. The delightful and south facing apartment has been simply yet tastefully furnished and decorated in a light and neutral palette to create a laid back, stress free and relaxed environment,and it works. Guests are able to rent the apartment throughout the majority of the year and take full advantage of the seasonal aspects that this traditional Cornish fishing village has to offer

  During the spring and summer months, the pretty little harbour is literally a stone's throw from the apartment and the plethora of donkey wide streets and alleyways of this ancient village are just waiting to be explored! During the winter months, The Boat Watch has equal appeal as you can light the wood burning stove, get cosy and watch the massive waves as they crash into the harbour wall during the many storms that lash this part of the coast at this time of year. At Christmas and New Year, the spectacle of the world famous Mousehole lights can be viewed from the comfort of the apartment. However, the greatest benefit from renting The Boat Watch must be to sample the innovative yet simple food crafted by chef patron Joe Wardell, a protege of Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir Quat Saison and Petit Blanc. Guests are treated to a 10% discount to those that wish to sample the superb food on offer.

  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.
