Guests say
No 4 in Mousehole is a beautifully presented, cosy cottage praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and charming décor. Guests love its superb location just steps from the harbour, making it ideal for exploring the village and surrounding area. The cottage is well-equipped, with many appreciating thoughtful touches such as welcome packs, though some mention the kitchen is compact and lacks a microwave. While parking and steep stairs are noted as minor drawbacks, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Cleanliness is consistently highlighted, with numerous guests describing the cottage as spotlessly clean and well-maintained. Only a couple of minor issues, such as a dirty oven tray and tea towels, were mentioned, but these were exceptions rather than the norm.
The location receives near-universal praise for its proximity to Mousehole harbour and village amenities. Guests love being in the heart of the village, with easy access to local attractions, shops, and restaurants.
Guests frequently comment on the cottage's comfort, especially the quality of the bed, linens, and bathroom. The cosy atmosphere and thoughtful furnishings contribute to a relaxing stay, though a few mention limited storage and steep stairs.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen, quality bathroom, and good heating. Some guests note the absence of a microwave, limited kitchen space, and steep stairs without a handrail as areas for improvement.
Many guests appreciated welcome packs with essentials and occasional vouchers, adding a personal touch to their stay. However, as these gifts are not guaranteed for every booking, future guests should not expect them as standard.

A lovely little cottage, very cosy. The kitchen equipment is very basic, and no microwave. The cottage is in a lovely location, a few steps to the harbour.Its a lovely place for a cosy time away, and some much needed r&r.

Lovely cottage and perfect location. One or two points to mention, the t-towels provided were not clean and had holes in them, microwave missing and had to contact owner who had it locked away in a cupboard ! The stairs are very steep with no hand rail at the top. Those are the negatives but enjoyed our stay.

Didn’t receive a great welcome, we collected key from the owners restaurant and told that the cottage is on the right hand side of Duck Street and we’re here every day from 9 o clock if you need anything just let us know. That was it nobody showed us around the property and explained anything about it.Very good starter pack is provided including tea, coffee, milk,Dishwasher tablets, plenty of toilet rolls.Generous £10 gift voucher to use at owners deli or restaurant, also 10% discount off all bills at restaurant.Upon entering the property we immediately noticed the large clock on the wall which wasn’t working.When using oven we found a couple of dirty trays, which we had to clean prior to use.Obviously change over cleaning isn’t checked by the owner.There’s no instructions for appliances.No microwave despite one being shown in properly description we bought microwaveable food with us to save using the oven in extremely hot conditions.We would suggest a coffee table should be placed in front of the sofa. We had to bring a stool down from the bedroom otherwise drinks would have to be placed on the floor.TV’s are too small, very difficult to read guide from sofa or bed, we had to stand near TV’s to make channel selection not that there was much choice because of a very poor selection of channels available.There’s a floor mat in the bedroom which we found to be a trip hazard.There’s a small step into bathroom which is also a potential trip hazard.The Toilet seat is loose and twisted.The Bed is very comfortable, probably the best in any accommodation including hotels we have stayed in.A Great shower and lovely large bath sheets.We are both in our 70’s and found the stairs to be dangerous and scary, no handrail at the top, we believe it’s possible for one to be fitted.Sadly we will not be returning, purely because of the stairs other than that this cottage is an excellent choice for a relaxing stay in beautiful Mousehole.
