About this property

Romantic Luxury Apartment With Stunning Sea View In Mousehole, Wifi, Nespresso!

Christmas availability - a cosy, Cornish Christmas with the magical 'Mousehole Lights'

Nestled on romantic Poldark's coastline, Island Watch is a small but beautiful, purpose-built apartment set on two levels with stunning views of Mount's Bay and St Clement's Island and a private balcony. The apartment makes a romantic, convenient and comfortable base from which to enjoy South West Cornwall: in December for the magic of a traditional old English Village Christmas, in the Spring for the walking and the flowers, in Summer for the beaches or, for one of our famous Indian Summers right into November. And every day when you rise or come home, you have the spectacular sea views to drink in from your lounge or the private balcony. It's a great spot for a honeymoon or special anniversary.

For Island Watch, made just for two, climb the simple wooden steps to your own entrance leading onto the first floor. Here you'll find the lounge with kitchenette and French doors to the sheltered balcony. Flanked by palm trees you can sip fresh coffee from the Nespresso machine and watch the wildlife in the sea and on the Island. The balcony is sheltered and quite a suntrap. The small wc and shower are also on this level.
Upstairs to the bedroom under the eaves. Here there's a very comfortable kingsized bed with good mattress (we renew regularly) and good quality cotton linen. There's also a small sofa, a selection of books (English, French and German) and storage space for your clothes. From the skylight you can see the Island again and if you leave it open, fall asleep listening to the sound of the water lapping on the shore some 50 metres away.
Parking right in front of the apartment gives you peace of mind in coming and going - so much of Mousehole has no reliable parking to offer. The flat is equipped with: TV, DVD player, Ipod dock and radio, Wifi, microwave/small oven, two plate induction hob, fridge with freezer compartment, Nespresso coffee machine, tea, coffee.
We live next door to the apartment and are happy to welcome you and leave you to yourselves or be on hand for any questions you may have or tips you need during your stay. If we are on holiday ourselves, my mother lives nearby and is on hand for any needs you have.
The house is neighboured by the gardens of the Old Coastguard Hotel, a boutique hotel with 13 rooms and a very fine restaurant. This is a quiet establishment and a lovely place to dine - but do book.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We had a lovely stay down in Mousehole. The views from the balcony were breathtaking, and We saw many seals and dolphins . Lots to do in the area , highlight being a 3hour boat trip from Penzance, and again saw loads of dolphins . Senna beach near Lands End was beautiful. Would easily stay here again , with Esme and Rob being very helpful and friendly hosts

What a wonderful place to stay - our hosts were the best. We felt like we were home from home, spoilt with the gifts left in the apartment and doorstep delivery of homemade scones (jam first, if course). Romantic and cosy with amazing sea views

This is a lovely little apartment with a beautiful sea view and close proximity to the facilities in the village of Mousehole. It's conveniently located next to The Coastguard Hotel which offers a selection of local beers and good food. Esme and Rob are great hosts and where very welcoming, and helpful when needed. Plus, their local knowledge of the restaurants and watering holes in and around was invaluable to us as we eat out a lot on holiday.The apartment also has its own parking slot which is a huge boon in that area. It was wonderful to be able to sit out on the balcony and enjoy the views while sipping our drinks.We would heartily recommend Esme's place and as we said to them, we will return in the not too distant future.

We are a husband and wife team. We love sharing the best of the West with guests.

Why they chose this property

We just love to watch the sea and its creatures feathered and finned. For this you need to be close and 50 metres is just about perfect! We also love to watch the sailing and fishing boats passing by and the Scillonian on its way to and from the Scilly Islands.
