Unfortunately the cottage was really cold when we arrived. All heaters bar the lounge ones were turned off & lounge set at only 14. There was no sign of the information book for the cottage. We spent ages searching for this. In the end I rang the housekeeper's landline number as per the literature on the final advice from VRBO, as the mobile number quoted only had 10 digits. Could only leave a message. In the end I messaged the host direct who advised the housekeeper mentioned in the literature no longer worked for her! She would arrange for the new cleaner to bring round the book. This didn't arrive til the next day. There was no welcome gift at all as per the book (when it arrived the next day). The wi-fi number in the book (when it arrived) was wrong The cottage needs a serious deep clean. This comment appears many times in the 2 visitors' books left in the lounge.It is a great conversion but cold/unwelcoming & the list of dos & donts did not help.

We had a lovely stay in Mousehole. The cottage was perfect in every way, very clean on arrival, well equipped and close to all the local amenities. All the rooms were beautifully decorated with a coastal theme throughout which gave it a lovely holiday feel. Another great bonus was the two upstairs bathrooms, which seems hard to find in Mousehole. The harbour, restaurants, shops and galleries are all just a short walk away. It’s a great place to stay and the location is perfect for exploring the south of Cornwall.

The cottage is lovely, cosy and warm. Its position in Mousehole is great. Although we had problems at the beginning of our holiday, once resolved we had a good time there. I’m quite sure that the problems we had were a one off and wouldn’t hesitate to return

We spent a wonderful few days walking the coast path around Mousehole, and Vivien’s cottage was quite simply the perfect base for us. Comfy beds, modern kitchen, ample seating and just a few steps from all that Mousehole had to offer. We would definitely recommend the cottage if you’re looking for a cosy Mousehole bolthole.

Check in was easy and the instructions were clear and concise, you need to be prepared to do a quick drop off and then go look for parking. On entering the cottage we were thrilled to find a cozy quaint place with all you need for a family stay. Unfortunately some things really let it down………the cleanliness is awful, the kitchen worktops had coffee grounds and crumbs on them and the floor in need of a good mop (coffee/tea stains all around the bin area). All the cupboards were dirty inside and we had to wash cups/crockery before we could use them as smelled musty and felt greasy. The toaster was not only filthy and full of crumbs but also rusty inside……..I refused to clean or use it. The lounge/diner is lovely but the floor area, especially in the corners full of dust and cobwebs really let it down. Upstairs is beautifully decorated but again the cobwebs around the ceiling, in the lamps and under beds (our suitcases came out filthy)really let it down. The en-suite skylight was open and covered in cobwebs which had definitely accumulated over more than a couple of days. The sight of someone else’s hair in the shower tray was absolutely disgusting, not just one strand and all around the tray! So again more cleaning before we could use it. I didn’t take any photos as to be honest was too horrified to think about it but the cleaning is something that needs serious attention………especially as the check out instructions specify that you need to leave it clean.

Lovely cottage in a perfect location - just a few minutes walk to the harbour.The cottage is spacious, clean, comfortable and has everything we needed. Mousehole is delightful & within easy reach of spectacular beaches, the South West Coastal path and lots of ancient sites. Communication with the host was easy and a response to any of our queries was immediate.Our second visit to this property so what better recommendation!

Staying in Mousehole

Staying in Mousehole was lovely. The location of the cottage was fab, a short stroll to the harbour - perfect.However, the cottage was only ok. On arrival we found the oven in a terrible condition, which we had to clean before using. The cottage was dusty and we wondered if it needed a deep clean before the season got going.It felt in need of some TLC.I don't think we would stay there again. A shame.

The cottage was in a lovely location especially as my brother in law is unwell and can't walk too far. The weather was mixed but we lit the fire and watched the rugby. The kitchen was well equipped and overall the cottage had everything we needed.

Wonderful location and ample space. This character cottage is perfect for a short break to Mousehole. Surprising amount of space- perfect for 4 people. Lovely to be able to walk to the pubs and restaurants and enjoy the Mousehole lights at this time of year.

Christmas Stay

A wonderful Christmas getaway in a perfectly prepared cottage by the sea. The house had plenty of room for four adults and the kitchen was very well equipped, allowing us to cook for ourselves over the Christmas period. It was warm and cosy, especially with the lights of Mousehole shining outside. We would highly recommend the property to anyone considering a visit to the area.

Lovely charming cottage in the most ideal location

We recently stayed for a few days in this lovely cottage, in the most ideal location. For a small village there are plenty of great dining options and shops that are all just a short walk away. The cottage matched the description perfectly and had such a homely feel to it. It was well equipped, clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Cozy cottage

This was a lovely old stone cottage connected to others on a fairly steep, narrow road. We had some difficulty finding it, but a lovely employee at the Fore 2 Restaurant guided us. Your gps might lead you astray. You really need to unload your gear and then park in the town pkg lot. We could walk everywhere & take the bus to other locations. The cottage itself had a well-equipped kitchen and good living/dining area. If ppl in your party have mobility issues, they will find the steep, narrow stairs to the bedrooms & baths a bit challenging. The mattresses are a bit “tired”, but not bad. Friendly area in which to stay, & so charming!!

Lovely Mousehole

Had a really lovely stay at this homely, cosy cottage. It is within easy walking distance of the harbour and the village is lovely and friendly. Be prepared to find and pay for parking every day, we were out of season and it was still problematic some days. Great base for exploring this part of Cornwall.
