Mariners Cottage - a beautifully refurbished pet friendly 18th Century fisherman's cottage with sea

We had such a lovely quiet Christmas by the sea in Mousehole at Mariners Cottage. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and location was perfect.

Mariner’s Cottage is situated in a very quiet position with uninterrupted sea views. The cottage is cosy and with the heaters on you don’t really need to light the wood burner. The bedrooms are comfortable and the view out to sea when sitting in bed was delightful. It is beautifully decorated and it feels very homely with the art work and decoration. We would definitely return and highly recommend.

We absolutely loved staying at Mariner's Cottage. We were only two people which worked perfectly for us. I'm sure more organised and 'compact' people could cope with being more than two, but it is certainly perfect for a couple. It is a very thoughtfully furnished house with everything you need for a short stay. The location is sublime, with its little garden overlooking the sea and with a barely-four-minute walk into the centre of picturesque Mousehole. We happened to have our car with us (which you park a couple of minutes away) but honestly there is so much to see and do in the local area and the local bus is so reliable you could almost not bother with a car at all. We ate incredibly well in both Mousehole and nearby Newlyn and tried almost every restaurant in the area, of which there is an extensive and excellent selection. Whilst Mousehole is undoubtedly a superbly pretty and friendly village (we loved the early week craft market and pretty much every shop and restaurant we visited!) we also fell in love with grittier Newlyn with its fresh fish shops and Coddiwomple which sells fabulous slipware and artwork. We also felt that the historic centre of Penzance was well worth a look (and enjoyed buying huge woolly pullies from Tam O'Shanter), had a great day in St Ives and discovered many fine coastal walks. The whole week couldn't have been better and we can't wait to go back.

Mariners Cottage is a lovely little hideaway in a very peaceful location. The front garden which looks out over the ocean is a fantastic place to sit quietly and let your mind empty itself of all the baggage you brought with you on holiday. I could spend hours listening to and watching the waves crashing against the rocks below you. The house itself is cosy and very comfortable and the beds are fantastic. Mouse hole hasn’t changed much in 40 years and still retains its character and reclusiveness which makes it such a peaceful place to stay. The restaurants are great and the Delhi’s serve great food albeit at a price ! I certainly hope to come back again.

My adult daughter and I spent 5 days at the cottage and loved every minute of it. The cottage is beautifully furnished and equipped, and the location is heavenly. You can look across at Mousehole, but you're at the end of a pathway, enjoying stunning sea views, sunrises and sunsets. The seals amble around the corner and the seagulls all settle on the island in front. The garden space is lovely and we both loved the high bar table with stools to get a breakfast bar vibe looking right our across the rocks and sea. It's really a very special cottage to stay in. We went off to explore the surrounding area, which is a beautiful part of Cornwall, but we were always happy to get back to the cottage and light the woodturner - putting our feet up, chilling, reading, having a glass of wine and watching the sun go down. Heaven, absolute heaven. With thanks, Bongo and Freddie.

Most perfect location & very quiet despite being a stone’s throw from the village . Comfortable mattress in main bedroom

Charming and well designed 2 BR spot right on the waters edge. Enjoy coffee in the morning sun on the front veranda and beers for happy hour. Spacious master bath. Tight staircase and top floor bedroom has little room on the sides of the bed. Decor was well done. Laundry in unit. No traffic as it’s a pedestrian path. It’s a sweet spot.

The outdoor facilities (for the seating area) are very dirty, so it was not posssible to enjoy the wonderful view!

Really enjoyed stay our stay and will definitely return. I know there’s not much you can do about it but would put some guidance re parking and maybe provide map with precise location of cottage prior to arrival as took a bit of working out when we arrived

We had such a lovely time at Mariners Cottage. It’s a beautiful home from home. Waking to the sound and views of the sea every morning was magical.
