Downstairs vintage polished copper and classic pieces
of china are displayed in free standing dressers and chests. To
add to the welcoming appearance tasteful curtains and cushions dress
the windows. Walls are hung with enchanting pictures and seafaring
items of interest.
Rustic Baskets of dried flowers hang suspended from
the beams. Steep dog-legged stairs lead up to the bedrooms with
antique bedsteads (double 4') and marbled topped washstands.
A door leads from the living room into a sheltered
courtyard with garden furniture and an array of plants. Step outside
of the front door and you are literally beside Mouse hole's picturesque
walled harbour. For the energetic the coastal path will take you
to Lamorna, or a more sedate stroll into Newlyn.
There are few places remaining in the UK that have
retained their character and charm in the way that the tiny village
of Mousehole has. St. Clement's Isle - a small rocky islet once
the home to an ancient hermit lies just offshore of the harbour
wall. A few hundred yards along the village lies a huge cave which
- so some people say - gives rise to the name of the Village (Mouse
Hole).
Mousehole has developed around its harbour (and of
course the fishing sustained it) appearing in the record books as
an important fishing fleet as early as 1266, in fact, part of the
south quay originates form 1390 possibly the oldest pier in Cornwall.
Travel just a few miles and you can enjoy a day at the Minnack ,
an open air theatre at Porthcurno, or a leisurely visit to the Tate
Gallery in St. Ives or spend a day in the Isles of Scilly either
sailing or fly by helicopter from Penzance.
Every Christmas is a special time in Mousehole as
the village is awash with Christmas Lights, filling the harbour
and surrounding houses, a magical sight indeed.
