Polvellan Heights
Tucked away in a prime cliffside position, with views that stretch out across the shimmering waters of Mousehole and as far as the eye can see along the west Cornish coast, Polvellan Heights promises an unforgettable stay. Nestled into the cliffs, sharing the unique location with three other apartments, discover captivating sea views, stylish interiors, a fantastic outside space and a laid-back coastal vibe - which is sure to leave you feeling truly relaxed.
Sleeping four very lucky guests (and a doggy companion from 5 July 2025), this gorgeous apartment is the ideal choice for a family holiday or a getaway with a group of friends. Reached via several flights of steps (but oh so worth it for that view) arrive, step inside and walk along the hallway to discover the rather special open plan living space, with a fabulously modern kitchen for rustling up delicious meals to enjoy around the dining-table and a Nespresso machine for coffee lovers. The lovely sofa and comfortable armchair make for a wonderful spot to sit back, relax and take in the spellbinding sea views. Polvellan Heights has been thoughtfully decorated with lots of stylish touches throughout.
The two bedrooms are simply gorgeous. Bedroom one is a lovely king room decorated in calming blue tones, which pair up perfectly with your seaside location, and bedroom two is a cute 'zip and link' room which can be made up as a double or twins. After a day of exploring the Cornish coast and enjoying that fresh sea air, sinking into these comfortable beds will be a real treat! The oh so lovely family bathroom is perfect for a well-deserved, leisurely soak at the end of the day.
Head outside, and you might find it hard to leave your fabulous terrace area. With simply magical panoramic views, you're sure to spend many hours gazing out to sea perched at your private bar, enjoying long, lazy and sunny tapas lunches with the most fabulous backdrop and taking the time to relax with an evening tipple as the sun goes down.
Mousehole is probably one of the best-known Cornish fishing villages, made famous by its Christmas lights which draw spectators from across the world, and the lovely children's book The Mousehole Cat which tells the tale of why those lights came into being. Among all the pretty towns and villages of west Cornwall, Mousehole still feels the most authentic.
Around this area there are many wonderful walks. The coastal path to Lamorna is one of the prettiest you will find anywhere in Cornwall. There is also a good bus service from the village which can help you explore the area as well. The open top bus is a fun experience from Newlyn taking you all around the peninsula.

Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.
Mr McDonald
A lovely, comfortable, clean apartment in a great location. Everything is well presented and having a parking space is a real bonus in Mousehole. We booked this apartment for the two of us and our children and their spouses stayed in No. 1 Polvellan (downstairs) which made for a lovely family get together. Thank you.
Mr Jenkins
The best accolade we can give is to return, this has been our third visit!
Mrs Carter
We had a fabulous time at 4 Polvellan Heights - thank you. The apartment was exactly as described and had the most amazing views over the bay - and the parking space was a real bonus. It was furnished to a very high standard and immaculate. The outdoor seating areas were lovely and a suntrap for sure. It’s only a two minute walk into Mousehole where there are some lovely places to eat - I’d recommend booking as they are very popular. 2 Fore Street, The Delhi, Four Teas Cafe and The Coastguard all serve lovely food. We ate in a couple of times and enjoyed a glass of wine whilst looking out over the bay from the veranda - what’s not to like ??. I’m sure we will be back very soon.
Mr. Bebr
We had an outstanding stay at this delightful apartment. Its prime location offers breathtaking ocean views and easy access to the quaint center of Mousehole, making it perfect for both relaxation and exploring. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated, combining modern elegance with exceptional comfort. Impeccably clean and well-equipped, it met all our needs and more. The attention to detail in both the decor and amenities truly enhanced our experience. We highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a memorable and enjoyable stay in a picturesque setting. Thank you Tomas and Lucie
Mr Davies

Mrs Elsey
I recently stayed at this fantastic apartment in Mousehole, and it exceeded all expectations! The stunning views were breathtaking—whether enjoying a morning coffee or watching the sunset, the view is unbeatable. The location is perfect, just a short stroll into Mousehole. The apartment itself is high-spec, beautifully furnished, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. It feels luxurious and cozy all at once, making it so relaxing that you won’t want to leave. Parking, a rare find in Mousehole, was a fantastic bonus! Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind in style.
mr swindell
Great location , lovely clean , contemporary property. Massive bonus in Mousehole of having parking outside the property. And the view from the balcony is amazing.
Miss STEED
Great location and superb views, very comfy and a high standard of cleanliness and facilities. We really enjoyed staying here and would be happy to return.
Mrs Nisbet
Just a short stroll into Mousehole, with wonderful views from balcony and windows. Well equipped and comfortable. Great bus service with regular buses to Newlyn and Penzance - where you can pick up buses to Lands amend and St Ives etc. A very enjoyable stay.
Mrs Green
Beautiful apartment, beautiful location. Couldn't fault it. We warned about the number of steps but they gave us much needed exercise. Hope to visit next year.
Mrs Dawson
Beautifully appointed, clean and comfortable. Incredible location with views out to the ocean. Having a car parking space is a blessing in this busy harbour town and we spent most of our time on our feet walking around local places or catching the coastal path. Great for visiting Minack Theatre and Sennen Cove.
Mr Round
Clean and comfortable
Mr O'Connell
An excellent property. It's not a cheap option but a big believer that you get what you pay for. Everything felt new & it was absolutely spotless. Excellent location with the harbour being a 2-3 minute walk away. The only negative I can think of is the photos are extremely well done so it's actually a bit smaller in reality. Easter eggs for the kids was a lovely touch & much appreciated. Highly recommended.
Mr Waylen
We visit West Cornwall many times a year to take care of personal issues and have stayed in numerous cottages and apartments. Polvellan Heights was by far the most luxurious, immaculate, modern and welcoming apartment we have had the pleasure to stay in. Much thought has taken place to ensure the comfort of guests with all essential appliances available. The décor and furnishings are beautiful, spacious bedrooms and a large bathroom complete with beautiful products. The location is perfect, with amazing panoramic views from the terrace area. The apartment is very stylish and we without a doubt, highly recommend to anyone wishing to have a memorable break in Mousehole. Thank you Tony and Kelly for the welcome basket, it was very much appreciated, we will be back.
Mr Jenkins
A lovely property with great views, nice balcony and importantly, given the lack of public parking in Mousehole, it had a dedicated parking space. A Nespresso compatible coffee machine is provided, as were a supply of pods in the welcome pack. The bed was very comfortable.
Mr Nurse
Lovely property, modern and spotlessly clean. Great location, lovely view, quiet, but only a few minutes walk into the centre of Mousehole. Comfortable for a couple or small family, but not sure about four adults. We hope to return.
