    North Cliff, Mousehole , TR19 6PH

    59) The Old Post Office

    Dog Friendly

    Waterfront, period Old Post Office, directly opposite two sandy beaches and the quaint harbour, this wonderful period cottage is proud to be a part of the famous Mousehole Christmas Lights – we are the cottage with the dolphin. Children absolutely love him! Watch the seals playing from the cottage windows and go to sleep to the soothing sound of the waves. Spectacular walks may be enjoyed along the coastal paths from the door.

    Snuggle up in front of the wood burner set into a truly jaw-dropping granite fireplace on cooler days. On warmer days, get ready to jump on paddle boards or make sandcastles on the lovely sandy beaches just steps from the cottage or, how about a boat trip?

    The Old Post Office is luxuriously equipped with a gorgeous kitchen and dining area complete with range cooker, wine cooler, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. There is a really lovely, charming sitting room complete with window seat, Tiffany style lights and, of course, the huge wood burner. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a very useful cloakroom.

    Upstairs, one will discover a fully tiled family bathroom complete with electric shower over the bath. The king-size sleigh bed in the front bedroom has a window seat with views of unforgettable sunsets, St Clements Isle, the harbour and beach. The airy and light twin room has a cozy window seat and is spacious and inviting.

    Lovely little seating area at front of cottage – sit with glass of wine in hand and watch the world go by!

    The property makes an ideal retreat for families and couples alike and is also dog-friendly.

    Mousehole has its own natural saltwater pool, is conveniently situated for the ferry to the Isles of Scilly with transport links to the Minnack Theatre, Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Nearby is Penzance with its thermally heated Jubilee Pool, outside theatre, tropical gardens and National Trust properties.

      A great location in the heart of Mousehole with views over the harbour and the sound of the sea. The boys loved being able to get their daily jumps off the harbour wall without having to walk anywhere and we enjoyed easy access to the pubs and restaurants. Car parking was a little tricky as with all the nicest places in Cornwall but as we are always happy to walk we managed to organise things fairly well so it wasn't really a problem. Being in the centre right on a busy corner did mean some noise early in the mornings so this wouldn't be for people wanting a really quiet getaway, but Mousehole is definitely not a rowdy place so all was well within reason. The cottage itself was very nice but no real outside space meaning drying bodysuits, towels etc was a bit of an effort. Easy dry stuff definitely the way to go. Overall a really nice place that we would recommend.

      Great location right on the harbor and in the center of town, yet perfectly quiet indoors. Newly remodeled, clean and crisp. Great views of the harbor from the front bedroom. Perfect.

      Great location and views, very comfortable – only downside parking can be a nightmare.
