Coastguard Cottage
Nestled in the timeless Cornish village of Mousehole, terraced Coastguard Cottage is a charming hideaway for four. Just minutes away from Mousehole's harbour and beach, savour a slice of coastal life - perfect to enjoy year-round, whether you're basking under the Cornish sun or wrapping up warm for an invigorating wintery walk on the coast path.
Located down a stepped path (via 15 steps), arrive and walk inside to discover pretty as a picture interiors. The cute sitting-room has comfortable sofas, with touches of coastal blue throughout and a wood-burner effect electric stove, just perfect for those cosy winter evenings. Rustle up a delicious dinner in the lovely and light kitchen and gather around the dining-table to enjoy it over discussions of tomorrow's adventures. You will also find one of two shower-rooms located on this floor too.
Up the stairs, which are narrow and steep - typical of a traditional Cornish cottage - you will find two beautiful bedrooms, a wonderfully comfy double room with sea views and a very pretty twin room, both with crisp white linens. Your second contemporary shower-room is also on this floor.
Head outside to uncover the magic of the secret garden, nestled down the small lane adjacent to the cottage; a gorgeous place to relax, soak up the sunshine and admire the sea views. At the front of the house there's another outdoor space with a table and chairs - you can easily while away a few hours gazing out to sea.

Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.
Mrs Colman
A cosy little cottage with fantastic views over beautiful Mousehole. Two minutes from the harbour but still a peaceful and relaxing place to stay. It’s worth knowing that there is a small deli in the village that sells some milk and bread. We would love to return to stay at the cottage again one day.
Mrs Digweed
Beautiful cosy cottage in a fantastic location, with gorgeous views. very grateful for the generous welcome hamper, we loved it there.
Mr Tristram
Coastguard Cottage in Mousehole is the perfect place to enjoy Mousehole. 90 seconds walk from the harbour/beach, lovely view from the front of the house, sunny sheltered sitting out at the front of the house and with its own very attractive garden 10 metres away. Who could want more?!
Mr Rodwell
We had a lovely week in Mousehole, it proved an excellent base for everything we wanted to do - and we don't drive. The cottage was well located, quiet, very clean and really well equipped, with the welcome items (milk, bread etc.) particularly appreciated. Would definitely stay again!
Mrs Bassett
Coastguard Cottage is a beautiful and homely cottage which we have been to many times. It is decorated beautifully with some lovely pictures on the walls. It is small but it has pretty much what you need. We will definitely come back.
Mrs Collins
A delightful, stylish and comfortable cottage in a perfect location. Beautifully presented - nice touch was fresh flowers and welcome basket. Make sure you bring some basic groceries as Mousehole no longer has a general store.
Mrs Hodgetts
Traditional cottage with a really useful utility area and great little garden for dogs. Although it’s small with steep stairs to the bedrooms, it’s very well equipped and comfortable, with 2 really good shower rooms. There are lovely sea views from the double bedroom and the garden. Your a very short stroll to the centre of Mousehole and the harbour. There was a much appreciated welcome basket of goodies on our arrival.
Mr Hobbs
a lovely cosy base in a quintessential Cornish village- dont miss the seals in the sea just below the cottage and the coastal walk over to Lamorna, suggest pre-booking the car park in The Parade a short distance from the cottage. Sennen and St Ives only a short car journey away.
Ms Elgar
Fantastic stay at this lovely cottage. Very clean, beautifully furnished and beds very comfy. The pictures don't do it justice! Cottage is literally 1 minute away from the harbour. Parking closeby in one of 2 Mousehole carparks. Cottage is also very well equipped with things such as board games, a fan, dog bowls etc. Fantastic welcome pack. Very highly recommended!
Mrs Mather
Excellent, clean and very well equipped cottage with a lovely garden, sea views.
Ms Upjohn
We had a wonderful stay here. It really is in a perfect location. I loved being able to see the sea from bed! The cottage has a warm and friendly vibe to it that makes you feel at home and able to relax. It's beautifully decked out. We would definitely come back.
Mrs Clayton
Beautiful little cottage tucked away in a perfect location for exploring Mousehole. Enjoyed a lovely week there. Will definitely be going back.
Mr Sandford-West
A beautiful cottage in an excellent location. Light and airy, and well equipped. We will be back.
Mrs Pinney
A beautiful cottage in a fantastic location with fantastic views. Would highly recommend.
Mr Percy
Coastguard Cottage is a great base for exploring the quaint Cornish village of Mousehole. It is very comfortable and clean inside and the welcome goodies are lovely. The cottage has both a courtyard and a garden, making it a great place to enjoy the beautiful Cornish surroundings. It is good for dog owners.
Ms Covert
Coastguard Cottage was overall a lovely getaway, well stocked and a lovely location.
Mrs Owen
Lovely cottage in a perfect location. Really enjoyed sitting outside in the little garden enjoying the sea view. Small bedrooms but comfortable beds. Would stay here again.
Mrs Coney
This tiny little cottage is a joy from the moment you walk in!
Miss Connelly
Nice cosy property to stay for couples or small family with their 4 legged best friends. Lovely location with coastal views and plenty of places to have a coffee or a pint and some food. We would recommend The Ship Inn.
Mrs Owens
Difficult to beat location - sea views and close to all the amenities of Mousehole and yet also surprisingly private and quiet. House is thoughtfully equipped and beautifully furnished. There are steep stairs but there is a toilet both upstairs and downstairs. Although an obvious choice for the summer, access to the beach for our dog, the views of the sea, the friendly restaurants and the cosiness of the house made this a successful Autumn break. Car parks are very close so unloading was not a problem. You may decide to use the upper car park near the Coastguard hotel during the summer as although that is more expensive it does mean that you avoid the narrow roads of Mousehole during the busy season.
Miss Hatherall
We loved our stay at the cottage and couldn’t recommend it enough! We had everything we could need and a beautiful welcome package! Thank you! The cottage is perfectly placed to pop back and well placed to travel back up the coast if you want to. Beautiful food in the village and the people are so friendly! Parking is all paid although it’s close to the cottage.
Major
Our stay in Coastguard Cottage was absolutely perfect. The cottage is welcoming, calm and cosy, with gorgeous views and outside spaces. Our stay there was so relaxing and easy. The kitchen is really well equipped, and although only 2 of us stayed, it would have been great for 4 people too. Mousehole itself has great amenities, nice places to eat and get coffee, and access to the coast path and ocean adventures nearby. I'd definitely recommend a trip to The Minack Theatre, which was only 20 mins away by car. There is plenty of opportunity for coast path walks, sea swims, snorkelling, paddleboarding and surfing nearby too. And lots of places to curl up with a good book. I want to go back already!
Mr Wilson
Very cosy cottage, well equipped, could not fault it. Lovely reception when arrived.
Mr Percy
Very good cottage at a fair price. Great location. It was clean and well equipped. Lovely garden with some nice touches inside. However be careful with the stairs inside as they are steep so if you have mobility issues I wouldn’t recommend it. The main bedroom is cosy. Thank you for a lovely stay. It was a lot better than the last place we stayed at in Mousehole.
Mrs Blakey
Had a lovely stay at the cottage, decorated recently, very clean, everything you need is at the cottage! Welcome pack a nice surprise too. Good location just walk down the footpath to the harbour., the garden is also along footpath. Parking North Quay £5 per 24 hrs and you can also use ticket in South Quay. The Parade parking is £11 for 24 hrs. Booking advisable in local restaurants. Great little cafe, Rockpool nr the parade car park. Porthcurno beach v. clean and pretty little cove; a visit to the communications museum interesting. Geevor also worth a visit.
Mrs Nicholls
Stunning location in the centre of Mousehole with views out to the sea
