Property code: OC-TAMRIS

Experience a memorable holiday in this 200-year-old stone cottage, with three bedrooms that boast outstanding views of the countryside and across Mount’s Bay to St Michael’s Mount and the Lizard. The small fishing village of Mousehole (pronounced “Mowzle”) lies 500 metres away down the hill and is home to a warren of streets brimming with shops, pubs, restaurants and galleries close to the harbour. The South West Coast Path runs directly outside the cottage, meaning experienced walkers can take in some dramatic shorelines on route to Lamorna Cove, 2 miles away. Further afield from the small beach at Mousehole, the sandy shores of Newlyn Tolcarne, Pedn Vounder, Porthchapel and Porthcurno are all within 8 miles.

On the ground floor, a tastefully decorated living area includes welcoming sofas and a dining area. A long and narrow kitchen sits next door, as does a sun room with seating that leads to the patio terrace in the garden, both perfect places to relax or plan a busy day of activities ahead. The ground floor also contains a shower room with a walk-in shower and WC. Climb the open-tread staircase and discover three bedrooms: a king-size, a twin and a secret bunk bedroom called “The Mousehole”. This little hideaway is only accessible via the bathroom, which contains a bath and WC.

Outside, visitors can enjoy al fresco dining at the seated area at the front of the cottage. The rear terraced gardens include a raised patio terrace with seating, with each level accessed via a short flight of steps. The terraced gardens are bordered by shrubs, trees and wooden fences, and enjoy an elevated view of the coast. A garage, with space to store outdoor kit, sits to the side of the cottage.

A lovely, comfortable and well equipped cottage ideally located to explore South West Cornwall. With cosy comfortable bedrooms with stunning views of the sea to wake up to. A very comfortable and cosy lounge to relax, a vast selection of board games and puzzles available, you would never be bored staying at this cottage. The seating areas in the gRead morearden are well placed to catch the sunshine at any time of the day. We enjoyed strolling down into Mousehole where everyone was so friendly and welcoming and even walking back up the hill got easier after a few days!!. Definitely a cottage that we would like to return to for another relaxing stay. Thank you Tamarisk Cottage. Hide

The cottage is exactly as described. Very cosy and well equipped. Beds comfortable. Bathrooms lovely. The garden is beautiful a view of the sea from the top garden. The table and chairs outside is situated in a lovely sunny position. The walk down to Mousehole is a 10 minute stroll. Longer back up the hill but ok if taken slowly. The whole weeRead morek was lovely a good location to visit what Cornwall has to offer. Hide

Lovely cottage, a real home from home, and has the bonus of a parking space ! Sea views from bedroom windows, we loved dolphin watching in the morning. We enjoyed our second stay in Tamarisk and beautiful Mousehole.

Loved the cottage - it was really cosy, well equipped (including basic kitchen staples like olive oil, sunflower oil, salt and pepper and foil, washing up liquid etc.), and clean. Great selection of maps, games and DVDs and everything well labelled and clear. Lovely welcome with flowers, hot cross buns, clotted cream and jam etc.). The garden, had Read morethe weather been better, would have been a real delight. The location was fantastic - sea views, close to the costal path, parking, and walkable into Mousehole (hill on the way back). We would definitely consider returning. Only a very minor point was that one of the cupboards with cooking equipment in it smelt damp and we had to rewash before using - also same for glasses stored in lounge. Not sure that the tight walk round the bed and chimney in the main bedroom was mentioned online and this may be difficult for those older than ourselves - knocked shins on the wooden bedframe before getting used to it!
