We first discovered Mousehole, Cornwall in 1999 and immediately fell in love with this gorgeous little fishing village.

Mousehole is a tiny, picturesque village clustered around a harbour, almost untouched by time, with a higgledy-piggledy maze of granite and slate cottages, narrow windy streets and a tight tangle of cobbled lanes.

The immediate and surrounding coastline is extremely beautiful being designated an ‘Area of Outstanding Beauty’ by The National Trust.

We are less then 9 miles away from the world-famous Minack Theatre (www.minack.com), an open-air theatre constructed above a gully with a rocky granite outcrop jutting into the sea, if you go to a production the local dolphins may also put on a display for you!

In 2001 we were lucky enough to discover 'Trelawney Cottage' a 19th Century Fisherman’s cottage that we subsequently renamed ‘Kolossi Cottage’ - only 15 yds from Mousehole harbour.
