Mermaid Cottage

Just a stone's throw away from the picturesque Mousehole harbour, Mermaid Cottage is a traditional fisherman’s cottage brimming with character and coastal charm. Perfectly positioned within walking distance of sandy beaches, local shops, and delightful eateries, this inviting holiday cottage offers the ideal base for families or small groups seeking an unforgettable Cornish escape.
Park up in the local public car park just a short walk away. Inside, you’ll find a beautifully designed open-plan living space where comfort meets style. Relax on the plush sofa by the warmth of a wood-burning stove after a day exploring the coast, or gather around the dining table for a home-cooked meal prepared in the fully equipped kitchen. A handy wine chiller ensures your favourite tipple is perfectly chilled for those special holiday moments.
Upstairs, three thoughtfully appointed bedrooms provide flexible sleeping arrangements: a cosy twin room with zip-link beds, a serene king-size bedroom, and a cheerful bunk room ideal for children. The luxurious bathroom invites you to unwind with a soak in the freestanding bath or refresh under the walk-in shower.
Step outside and immerse yourself in the charm of Mousehole village. Enjoy fresh local produce from the deli, savour fine dining at 2 Fore Street Restaurant, or indulge in a traditional cream tea at Four Teas Café. For a day trip, head to nearby Newlyn to discover Tolcarne Beach and the renowned Newlyn Art Gallery, or venture further to Penzance for even more attractions.
By car, explore the iconic Cornish coastline. Wander the golden sands of St Ives, admire world-class art at Tate St Ives, or take in the dramatic views at Land’s End. Outdoor enthusiasts will love hiking the Penwith Heritage Coast, where breath-taking scenery awaits at every turn.
