Mousehole holiday cottages in Cornwall

One hundred years ago Mousehole (pronounced Mowzel) was a busy Cornish town harbour three miles west around Mounts Bay from Penzance, crowded with fishing boats and local trade where the fishermen brought in loads of locally caught fish. The town has become famed for the story The Mousehole Cat by Antonia Barber, a story in which the townspeople eat baked hake, cooked kedgeree, grilled fairmaids, fried launces, soused scad, and half a hundred star-gazy pies on Tom Bawcock's Eve.

Mousehole is a very beautiful fishing village in a beautiful setting that was sacked by a Spanish raiding party in 1595 and the entire rural village except for a single house was burned down. The holiday cottages in Mousehole are very warm, comfortable and quaint. The village contains granite and slate cottages with narrow winding streets and cobbled alleys. If you go to Cornwall for your cottage holiday in the winter don't miss out on the world famous Christmas lights of Mousehole.

Outside Mousehole harbour is St Clement's Isle, a rocky islet that is said to have once been home to an ancient hermit. A small beach in a sheltered bit of the harbour is popular with families with small children, and there are local coves Penberth, Lamorna and Porthcurno.
