Accommodation
Ground Floor – The front door leads to a spacious hallway with a separate downstairs WC. Much of the ground floor accommodation is made up of a large and bright open plan living area which is well furnished with defined areas for eating, cooking and relaxing. The whole space is beautifully appointed with large sliding patio doors across the far wall, leading out to the private garden. The sitting area is comfortable with two sofas, arm chair and squashy bean bags, with a large wall mounted plasma screen. There is a dining area with good sized table and seating for six people and a beautifully designed kitchen at the back of the living area with plenty of storage cupboards, granite work surfaces, Belfast sink and island with three stools.

There is a large master suite on the ground floor, the bedroom is spacious with super king size bed and a small sofa. The bed is a very comfortable super king size but can be split into twins if necessary (must be agreed in advance). There are double glass patio doors leading out to the decked area and garden. At the back of the room is a large ensuite shower room with double sized steam shower enclosure, WC and basin. The flooring on the ground floor is travertine tiles with animal skin rugs throughout.

A wooden staircase leads from the kitchen area to the first floor: The Family Suite – is an open plan room with a clever layout to create two distinct sleeping areas. To the right of the stair case is an area with two single white wooden beds and a large dressing mirror. To the left of the staircase is the spacious main sleeping area with a large super king wooden sleigh bed with hanging space behind the bed, bedside tables and a large wall mounted plasma screen. There are patio doors leading out from the room onto the first floor balcony with views of the private garden, shared family garden and swimming pool. There are sun loungers on the balcony for full relaxation! At the far end of the room is a large, beautifully presented family bathroom with freestanding bath, WC and basin, the perfect place to relax after a busy days exploring!

The Summer House is set in the grounds of a family home. There is a private garden area mainly laid to lawn with a decked area immediately outside the patio doors and flowerbeds. A small gate leads to the family garden where you have access to a small sized grass football pitch, which can become a tennis court in the summer. Between the Summer House and the main family house is a stunning outdoor “infinity” style swimming pool which the owners are happy for guests to use respectfully. The pool is heated from Easter until end September.

There is a large gravel driveway shared between the Summer House and the family house with parking for two cars. There is also a large shed at the front of the Summer House with tumble drier and lots of space to store surf boards, wet suits, beach clobber and bicycles.

Karen and John are the incredibly welcoming owners of the Summer House and absolutely encourage the guests to make full use of all the shared facilities including , swimming pool and astro pitch. One dog is welcome at The Summer House but must be agreed in advance and guests should be aware that Karen and John have two gorgeous beagles living with them in the main house

The Summer House is located between the small village of Paul and above the iconic Mousehole Harbour and would make an ideal base for both families and couples alike. There are Pubs, cafes and restaurants within a short walk. There is a small sandy beach in Mousehole, just down the road. The sandy beaches of Porthcurno, Sennen and Marazion, to name but a few are around 20 minutes away. Strictly a non-smoking property. Pets (Max 1) welcome by prior arrangement. Arrival / Departure: Friday - negotiable off season.

Gorgeous holiday cottage
We had a really rainy week in Cornwall, but our holiday was nevertheless wonderful, in large part due to this wonderful holiday cottage and the delightful hosts, John and Karen. The cottage is just a short walk from the idyllic harbour in Mousehole with a handful of great pubs and restaurants. The cottage itself is brilliantly set up for a family, with two good size en suite bedrooms, a well equipped kitchen, toys and games, and a big pool (that we braved despite the rain...!). You couldn't ask for better hosts - John and Karen were friendly and helpful with recommendations for beaches, activities and restaurants to try. We'll be back, hopefully next time with some sun! Thanks for a lovely stay

“Summer House” Mousehole
We had a fabulous stay in the “Summer House”, gorgeous property. We loved spending time in the pool and playing a game of tennis. A very short distance to walk to the beautiful Mousehole. Would highly recommend a visit.
