Property code: OC-GWYLAN

This former fisherman’s cottage in Mousehole, Cornwall, has been converted with great care and attention into a spacious and elegant retreat. Overlooking the pretty harbour, it is the perfect seaside getaway for a family or group of friends. Watch the fishing boats bobbing on the water, feel the sand between your toes on the small beach or jump on a boat and view the rugged coastline from the sea. The more energetic can also walk 2 miles along the South West Coast Path to Lamorna Cove Beach or 7 miles to the award-winning beach at Porthcurno. In Porthcurno, you can also visit the open-air Minack Theatre and marvel at its sub-tropical gardens.

Inside this Grade II-listed granite cottage, the decor is light and airy. Whitewashed walls, cool tones, and comfortable furnishings sweep through the living area creating a soothing atmosphere. In the lounge, you’ll find plump sofas and plenty of homely touches including soft throws, brightly coloured cushions and a warming wood burner. There’s also a cute window seat that invites you to sit and soak up the harbour views. If you’re in the mood to cook, head into the well-equipped kitchen complete with granite work-surfaces, and rustle up a meal then serve at the dining table seating five people. Also on this floor is a shower room, handy for washing the sand from your feet after a day on the beach. From the ground floor, a staircase leads to the first floor where the bedrooms are located. A lovely king and a double room are situated to the front of the property and both feature creamy tones, elegant seaside artwork on the walls, and large windows that offer up sea and harbour views. In the morning, you’ll want to throw open the windows and listen to the sounds of the sea lapping against the harbour. They also both have TVs if you fancy a lazy lie in. To the rear of the property, and up a few steps, is a cosy single bedroom with an additional pull-out bed for an extra child. All the rooms are generously sized and have plenty of wardrobe space.

Although there is no outdoor area, you won’t be disappointed with your immediate surroundings - the harbour is right on your doorstep so come evening, pour yourself a cool drink then sit and enjoy it at the water’s edge.

This is a well presented, well equipped cottage, sleeping 4 or 5 comfortably in the spacious rooms. The views for the front aspect windows are lovely and as we stayed over the Christmas period, it was nice to be welcomed by a twinkling Christmas tree as well as the Mousehole Harbout Lights (on every night from 5pm). We enjoyed the mince pies and PrRead moreosecco and other welcome goodies, and thought that Gwylan House was perfect for our holiday needs. Hide

Probably the best Cornwall cottage we have ever stayed in, super location, well appointed, spotlessly clean and good information supplied.

An extremely comfortable, light, and well equipped Holiday Cottage. It was a delight to have been able to stay at Gwylan. We would have liked to stay longer.

My husband and I had a lovely week at this delightful cottage, chosen for its location in the centre of Mousehole and views of the harbour. The views from two of the bedrooms are stunning. The cottage is very well equipped for self-catering, the kitchen has everything you could need, the living room is cosy and the bed that we used was very comforRead moretable. It was nice to have two bathrooms with the choice of walk-in shower or a bath with overhead shower. The only downside for us was the difficulty of getting our luggage and assorted bags to the property from the South Quay car park. Theres a well stocked and reasonably priced deli nearby (No 1 Deli). Mousehole is a lovely location for a quiet break and we would definitely return. Were already missing the sea views. Hide

We felt at home the moment we arrived. Nothing was spared. The bedding, decor and views were just fabulous as was the close proximity to the village. Couldve stayed longer.

What a beautiful cottage, so complete and nicely decorated. Very clean. It is like coming home. Everything you can think of is there plus welcome gift. Fantastic views of the harbour, very cozy place. No terrace but there is a bench in front of the cottage near the water where you can sit, eat, drink and enjoy.

Wow wow wow! Do you want a stunningly well equipped cottage in the heart of Mousehole? Stop looking because you've just found it. We spent 5 days at Gwylan House for Christmas. On arrival the property had clearly been specially prepared and decorated for Christmas which was a brilliant little touch. It was very near the harbour (you can hear the waRead moreves when lying in bed), less than 5 minutes walk to the Ship so perfect to base yourself out of. The cottage is a home from home with everything you need. Beautiful bathroom facilities, power showers which put the fire brigade to shame, comfortable beds and lots of little extras that just make you feel more at home. Sometimes you stay in a holiday home an the fitment is 'okay for a week' but from the kitchen, the the bathrooms, through the beds, this is property which has been prepared to a stunningly high standard. In the living room we found a cupboard full of games and even a pair of binoculars for looking out whilst one of the bedrooms had a great selection of reading material. Hide

Our first trip to Mousehole and were unbelievably lucky with the weather - 6 nights and the best sunshine of the last 2 months! The cottage is beautifully presented and really tasteful decor and artwork. We went to see Evita at the Minnack which was amazing and have just had a memorable holiday with lots of laughter (and too much wine and food!).
