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.

Thank you Claire, I am so glad you enjoyed your stay!
We had a wonderful week long stay at The Sunmer House. Immaculate facilities, super location with Mousehole only a short walk way, and a great spot for exploring other places. Family friendly overall for kids and dogs too.The hosts were so helpful and accommodating, with lots of lovely touches to make you feel welcome. It’s very peaceful, so if you are looking to relax and unwind it’s perfect - but perhaps not suited for those seeking something more lively. Thank you for a wonderful stay x
This was a home from home everything you need for a relaxing holiday amazing place very tastefully decorated lovely gardens and pool outstanding cake and lovely touches with flowers tea coffee milk bread wine etc mousehole is beautiful we will be back

So glad you enjoyed your stay Susan! Hope to see you again!
Beautiful property in a great location. The Summer House gave us everything we needed & more. The house is beautifully kept with added luxuries. It’s in a peaceful location & only a short walk away from the picturesque Mousehole harbour. Very happy with our choice!
Just above Mousehole, a recently refurbished place that fitted the 5 of us (2 adults, 3 kids) with plenty of room spare. A highly recommended base for a holiday
John and Karen are the owners who live next door, and they're wonderful and helpful. They really make the place even more special.
There was even cake, butter, milk, and bread waiting for us on arrival!
Try out the steam shower!

Wonderful property, with everything you could wish for and more. Great base to explore but also stay and relax, a real home from home. Great football pitch which made three boys very happy and access to the wonderful pool for a refreshing dip. Very clean with a well equipped kitchen but also with pubs and restaurant in walking distance if cooking is not your thing. Can’t wait to return.

Thank you Jenny - I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at The Summer House, it really is a special place! Hope to welcome you back soon x
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
This was just the best week for all of us. Ages 10 -79.
The house and garden are so comfortable and spacious. The garden is really tropical with acers and bamboo etc and all the facilities were great.
We really loved the use of the beautiful pool and tennis court and ping pong table.
The position is wonderful. Peaceful and yet walkable to Mousehole and the pub in Paul.
We loved hearing the male voice choir rehearsing in the church.
Thank you John and Karen - great hosts, never intrusive but always friendly and helpful. Five star holiday!!
Wow… a truly amazing property in a beautiful setting.. the pictures give you a glimpse of what your stay might feel like, I can promise you it’s incredible, topped off by an amazing family as hosts… not at all intruding, in fact go out of their way to be private for you…but on hand to make sure you have the best time ever! In which we did… thank you! Envious of the next family … until the next time ❤️
What a great property! We really enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Summer House, which is even better than it looked in the photos. John was so helpful, and the pool was a real bonus with just the chill taken off for an unseasonably sunny October.
Amazing Luxury summerhouse perfect for a family break
Amazing location, very clean with lots of facilities. The owners were very accommodating and the Pool was great for our teenage boys including the football pitch and tennis nets. The space in the house is amazing and big enough for our children to have their own space without us all being on top of each other. All modern amenities including great WIFI. It was a luxury find in a hidden quiet spot and central to many other beaches and activity's. We also brought our dog and she was also welcomed within the property with lots of outdoor space that was safe and private to run around. Definitely recommend this idyllic haven in Mousehole!
We had such a wonderful holiday at the summer house with our 18 month old, Mousehole itself is small and we fell in love with it, the beach a short walk (although up hill on the way back to help burn off cakes and ice cream) and wonderful views from the old coastguard and rock pool cafe. Karen and John were lovely and we used the pool a few times which was such a bonus, our little boy loved playing on the step so just his feet were in with a few toys. We would definitely recommend staying here ❤️
We had an amazing stay at the Summer House and we were made to feel very welcome by the owners. The property is beautifully decorated and well stocked with everything you could need. The owners regularly checked that everything was to our satisfaction and offered advice of where to eat/what to do etc. Would highly recommend and highly likely to return.
The Summer House is an absolute delight.! Beautifully decorated and well stocked - every detail had been considered. We had a wonderful week in lovely Mousehole and John and Karen couldn’t have been more welcoming. Thanks so much we will be back! The Kemp family
Can safely say this is the best house we've stayed in on our annual Cornwall break! Will stay again!
We really enjoyed ourselves. The weather was great so we went out most days, however if it was bad, you could easily find things to do in the house.
We met John the owner, such a nice and welcoming guy! You could easily have a BBQ with him! Very polite and always offering help etc...
The house itself really suited our needs, really relaxing and we felt like royalty there almost. Very private!
Nice little walk into Mousehole which is a great little village, nice food and the best ice cream ever (must have had about 15 between us all).
The only regret I have is we didn't get a chance to say bye to John and his family and thank them personally as the kids were playing up as they didn't want to leave! Hopefully we were good guests and they'll allow us back - as we would certainly return time and time again
This was a very well set up property, with an excellent kitchen, good sized lounge area and comfortable bedrooms. Karen and John were very friendly, and left some lovely goodies for our arrival. The pool was a nice sun trap and the garden was very peaceful. Wifi quality was good ( mobile reception is limited.) We would recommend this property highly. The restaurant 2 Fore St down the hill in Mousehole was spectacular, well worth a visit or two.
From the moment we entered the Summer House we were taken with how stylish and well equipped it was. There was a lot of attention to detail with the decor, and lovely Elemis toiletries in each bathroom.
The bedrooms were comfortable. No tv in the downstairs master suite but this just encouraged me to read my book!
Games and toys of the kids was s lovely touch. As was the use of the games room and pool- which was stunning!
The owners were just lovely, and very jean to make our stay comfortable. Everyday John checked to make sure the pool was warm enough for us to swim in.
Location wise it was perfect. Mousehole is s beautiful coastal village that has some lovely restaurants in a quaint setting.
A fab holiday!
A lovely property, spotlessly clean and with everything you can think of. The owners of the Summer House could not do enough to help us during our stay - so friendly. The location is amazing, perfect for a relaxing holiday. Great memories, thank you.
We had a lovely time exploring West Cornwall despite the terrible weather! A short downhill walk into Mousehole with lots of cute cafes around the harbour. House a good size for 2 couples and 2 babies.

Unforgettable holiday thanks to stunning house and wonderful hosts
Our holiday in Mousehole was absolutely wonderful, we loved every minute and struggled to leave at the end of the week! The house is so spacious, comfortable and tasteful too. John, Karen and family were not only so welcoming and friendly, they left us a delicious home baked cake, flowers, a bottle of Prosecco and fresh bread with Cornish butter - all such lovely gestures. We couldn't fault the facilities and surroundings, their garden is very beautiful with sea views in the distance, and a whole host of acitivities for the children which really made the holiday. Mousehole is the prettiest Cornish village I've ever visited with little winding lanes, such an attractive harbour and a sprinkling of gorgeous shops and galleries. Thank you so much for a perfect holiday, we can't wait to visit again!
