Tamarisk, Mousehole is a charming 200-year-old stone cottage perched just above the coast path with spectacular views sweeping across Mount's Bay to St Michael's Mount and the distant Lizard peninsula. The tastefully decorated living area welcomes you with comfortable sofas and a dining space, whilst the long galley kitchen provides everything needed for self-catering. A delightful sun room with seating opens onto the patio terrace, creating a perfect spot for morning coffee or planning the day's adventures. The ground floor shower room features a walk-in shower and WC.
Heading outside, the front of the cottage offers al fresco dining space, whilst the rear terraced gardens rise in levels (accessed by short flights of steps), each bordered by shrubs and trees. The elevated position rewards you with beautiful coastal vistas, and a garage provides secure storage for outdoor equipment. There's also private parking for two cars. Climb the open-tread staircase to discover three bedrooms: a king-size room, a twin room, and a secret bunk bedroom called 'The Mousehole', accessible only through the first-floor bathroom with its bath and WC.
Picture lazy mornings watching the sun sparkle across Mount's Bay from your elevated terrace, the scent of coastal air drifting through the gardens. Spend your days exploring the South West Coast Path right from your doorstep, wandering down to Mousehole's warren of harbour streets, or discovering hidden cove beaches along this stunning stretch of coastline. As evening settles, return to your peaceful retreat, perhaps with fish and chips from the village, and watch the lighthouse beam sweep across the darkening waters.
