Beautiful little cottage in a great location
We had high hopes for our Cornwall vacation and this cute little cottage helped us exceed our expectations. First, the house is just as cute in person as it is on-line. Second, it is centrally located in Mousehole, a wonderful village that feels charmed and less touristy than many others in Cornwall. Third, in spite of the small size of Mousehole, we never had trouble finding parking, and the cottage was close to the parking lots, so no lugging luggage for long ways. We had a great home base for our many day jaunts and were sad to leave this morning. Cottage has a well equipped kitchen and a washer/dryer that was especially handy.

Fine property - unexpected quirk
This property was historic with very modern renovations. Very comfortable but had a quirk. The two bathrooms were on the upper or lower floor that had stairs that might be complicated for some ages or abilities. THe main floor was well decorated but there was no water there as the kitchen was on the lower floor with a bathroom and bedroom. Nevertheless, we enjoyed it very much?
Such a lovely house. Perfect for a small family or group of upto four. But host certainly will accommodate your requirements. Quite location, easy to find a place for parking around.
Condition of house is spotless/perfect. 5 star level accommodation

Home from home
Idyllic location in the most lovely harbour with a selection of restaurants and pubs. This house is done to a high spec. Fully equipped kitchen and everything you would want in a rental. Beautifully decorated and a cosy atmosphere and is literally a stones throw from the harbour. Really did meet our expectations and would absolutely return!

Fabulous very well-appointed house.
Fabulous very well-appointed house which has been refurbished and furnished to a very high standard. Great location. Beds were especially comfortable. The large outside decking area at the back of the lounge was the perfect sun trap. We had no problems parking in the harbour car parks albeit occasionally had to wait a short time for a space to become free. As recommended in the welcoming literature it is worth booking if you want to guarantee a table in one of the pubs or restaurants as they do get busy. We particularly liked the proper pub grub at The Ship (as well as the very well kept ales) and the superb food at the Orange cafe opposite the house.

Beautiful renovated property in the heart of Mousehole
A little gem of a place, 2 minutes from the harbour. Very tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable. Neil was really helpful and suggested many lovely local places to eat. I highly recommend this property

Mousehole Magnificent
Charming, well-appointed and within 50 steps of the harbor. One of the best vacation rentals we’ve had. We happened to be there on the warmest day in UK history. But the Loft House was comfortable and a good jumping off point for hikes along the coast and swimming for our teenagers from the town quay. We would stay there for a week if we could.

We had a lovely stay in this spacious home spread across three levels. The upper and middle floors felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully maintained — we especially enjoyed relaxing in the cozy living room and spending time on the sunny terrace.The lower level, while practical and clean, had a slightly different atmosphere and could benefit from a bit more attention to detail. Still, it didn’t take away from the overall charm of the house.All in all, a great place to stay — we made wonderful memories here and would happily return.
This small, cozy cottage is very charmingly furnished and has everything you need, including good Wi-Fi. Just a few steps from the front door, you're already at Mousehole's cute little harbor, where you'll also find a convenient parking space. Mobile phone reception is rather limited in Mousehole. We felt very comfortable in Mousehole and in the little cottage and had a wonderful time. We'll definitely be back. Communication with the very friendly and accommodating owner of the cottage was very pleasant and uncomplicated. We can recommend this place without hesitation! Thank you for the wonderful time in Cornwall.

Wunderschönes Häuschen in entzückendem Dorf am Meer
Loft House ist ein echtes Kleinod. Sehr hell und freundlich gestaltet. Ein gemütlicher Kamin und eine große Terrasse sind ein tolles Plus. Wir haben uns extrem wohlgefühlt. Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber war ausgesprochen angenehm.
(Allerdings sollten Menschen mit Knieproblemen wissen, dass die Treppe zur Küche hinunter sehr steil ist - bedingt durch den urigen Charakter des alten Fischerhäuschens. Und Mousehole selbst ist durch die engen alten Gassen am Anfang ein kleines Abenteuer, um das Auto zum Parkplatz am Kai zu bringen. Wir haben uns jedoch schnell daran gewöhnt.)
Fazit: Unbedingt empfehlenswert.
