We invite you to holiday in Mousehole at Gina’s Cottage situated 50 yards from the harbour and village centre. The Cottage is more than 100 years old but has recently been refurbished to a modern and charming standard.
The Village
The Cottage lies near the centre of the well known village of Mousehole. This beautiful small fishing village boasts a picturesque harbour and hosts a beach either side. Mousehole is protected by conservation measures and is first recorded in historical records in 1242 AD. Relatively unchanged over the past century the poet Dylan Thomas once said it was ‘the prettiest village in England’.
During the summer months you can sit and enjoy watching the boats working out of the harbour, who are predominantly fishing for shellfish and Mackerel. If you wish to see a larger harbour you only have to travel to nearby Newlyn, the main port in this region (its early morning fishmarket is most interesting).
Mousehole village has a delightful pub The Ship Inn or alternatively why not visit the old Coastguard Hotel or the friendly Mousehole British Legion. There are also a number of restaurants, cafes’, tea rooms, ice cream parlors, small shops and galleries.
Not only is Mousehole charming in the summer period, but it offers the world famous Mousehole Christmas Harbour Lights over the Christmas and New Year period and provides an outstanding attraction even during the winter.

The open plan lounge and kitchen provides a contemporary and comfortable living area. The kitchen is well equipped with a conventional oven and electric hob, microwave and kettle for all your cooking requirements. The cottage also benefits from central heating.
