Bumbles, Mousehole welcomes you into a charming open-plan kitchen and dining area on the ground floor, where a farmhouse-style kitchen with stone flooring sits alongside a wooden-floored dining space. Enjoy a feast cooked in the double oven, then gather around the dining table beneath an exposed stone wall, glimpsing the sea through the window as you eat. Step through into the adjoining living space, where comfortable armchairs and a sofa invite you to relax beside a large fireplace fitted with a cosy wood burner, its exposed stone wall adding real character to the room.
Heading outside, enjoy the two gardens: a pretty front garden with table and chairs looking out to distant sea views, and an enclosed, terraced rear garden perfect for alfresco dining, complete with a summerhouse for year-round sea-gazing whatever the weather. Upstairs, three bedrooms await: a king-size room and a double room with en-suite shower both enjoy sea views, while a twin room with CD player completes the sleeping arrangements. Roadside parking is available nearby, with pay-and-display parking close to the harbour, just 120 metres away.
Picture mornings spent watching the light dance across Mount's Bay from your bedroom window, then a short stroll down to Mousehole's working harbour for fresh air and the gentle clatter of fishing boats. Afternoons might mean a dip at Lamorna Cove or a wander through the village's galleries and cafes, while evenings call for alfresco dining in the terraced garden, wood burner crackling indoors as the sun sets over the sea.
