Mousehole Cornwall.
In October 1987 we arrived in Mousehole for a week’s holiday. It was around 6pm and too dark to see much at all. We were just looking for somewhere to escape. No telephone. No deadlines.

The next morning the children woke early and for the first time we saw this beautiful village - bathed in sunshine. We now rent cottages in the village - so others can escape as we did.

In Mousehole most things are on a small scale. Small but beautiful, beaches. Small and interesting shops and cottages. You can arrive in Mousehole and park a car and stay within the village all week - or you can visit a different place every day - The Minack Theatre, Lands End, The Lizard, St Michaels Mount.

You can follow the coastal footpath for miles - ideal for walking off all of those Cornish pasties and cream teas - or sit and hear interesting tales from locals about times gone by.

For the more adventurous, take a helicopter flight from nearby Penzance to the Isles of Scilly, venture out to sea with local fishermen - and even bring home your own freshly caught fish for a tasty and fresh Cornish supper.

Mousehole is a place where you can sit back and read that book that has been sitting at home for months, to wander the winding streets - whatever the weather there is always something to see and somewhere to photograph.

Within the village there is a selection of restaurants, tea shops and pubs - so you do not have to spend your holiday cooking - unless you really want to - Starry Gazey Pie anyone?

Mousehole is a village which caters for tourists Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. At Christmas people come from across the country to see the spectacular display of Christmas lights.

The story of the 'Mousehole Cat' is now part of primary school life - so every school holiday children from around far and wide try to find 'Mouzer'.

We feel Mousehole has something for everyone, young or old, single people, couples or families. Most like us are looking to escape - and come back to our cottages year after year to do this. We hope you will too.
