  Cannot fault the location.

  Been coming to these cottages for years and in fact this exact location when it was railway camping coaches. It is our favourite place to holiday in Cornwall. We have noticed our cottage (Sail Boats) is getting a bit tired in places. Beading around the floor breaking up and coming away, gaps in flooring and skirting boards, marked paint, niggles really. On the flip side it is comfortable, warm has plenty of really hot water for showers, baths and good WIFI. It was a great place to be during the couple of cold, stormy days and nights we had during our stay. The management of the cottage is very good. The mattress on the bed was very bad for us for the first 3 days of our holiday. My wife constantly felt like she was falling out of it and it completely knackered my back. I would wake in the morning in agony and even with painkillers could not stand up straight until late afternoon. We lost 3 days of our week because of that. We called the holiday company and later that day a new deeper, firmer mattress was delivered and fitted. We were impressed with the response to our query and we slept well for the rest of the week. All in all this is a good place to stay. The costs of staying here in season are now prohibitive for us so we are more likely to visit last minute, out of season when the prices are more affordable.

  It turns out we were the first guests to stay in Molly Muppet and what a pleasure it was! It's a gorgeous little cottage, and it is little, but an absolute gem of a place to stay. It is hidden away amongst the houses but has a surprisingly large private garden and is still only a stone's throw from the harbour and the hub of the beautiful village of Mousehole. My husband and I investigated the surrounding areas and there is so much to see and do and so many great places to eat, but it was always a pleasure to come back to Molly Muppet. We particularly enjoyed lazy days of relaxing in the garden, wandering around the village and cosy nights in front of the wood burner. Perfect! The owner has thought of absolutely everything and has done a spectacular job. The cottage is brilliantly equipped and beautifully decorated with so many lovely personal touches. It has obviously been a labour of love. The owner is lovely. So welcoming, helpful and reassuringly relaxed. After a long journey to get there it was great to have a few thoughtful supplies to get us started. Staying in Molly Muppet is a bit like playing house for grown ups but in the best possible way. We couldn't recommend it more highly. Thank you for an absolutely brilliant week, we will be back!! Can't wait!

  The holiday home was perfectly situated for the beach and Marazion and we loved having the view of St Michael’s Mount each day!

  The bungalow provided everything needed for a self catering holiday, including tea towels (not mentioned on the website) and a lovely Cornish welcome pack with milk, tea, coffee, biscuits and washing up liquid etc. On arrival everything was clean apart from the fridge which still had bits of food from the previous guests in it which meant I had to clean it before using. Also, the freezer door still does not close (mentioned on other reviews previously) as it is so frozen up (it was perfect for chilling beer bottles though!). There were quite a few maintenance issues which had to be lived with or ‘worked around’ e.g. vertical blinds in lounge have no string to open/close/turn; the catch on the bedroom window has previously been broken off so we could not open the window properly, the toilet seat was wonky, the shower seal didn’t work so there was always water on the floor afterwards…. Finally, the mattress on the bed really does need changing! It is so hard that we chose to buy a thick mattress topper on the second day to ensure a good night’s sleep for the rest of the holiday! (We took it with us!!!). These sound like a lot of problems but the location and price of the accommodation certainly eased our disappointment with the maintenance issues.

  The location of this holiday home is its main attraction, the beach is within throwing distance ( ideal if you have a dog with you ) .

  Don’t let the railway line put you off , you don’t hear it because of the constant sound from the sea! Yes you can see the pub next door through the kitchen window and yes they can see you ! But we kept the blind down . There are a few maintenance issues with this property, easily fixed if the owner wanted , one being the toilet seat ( broken) , the bed ( as mentioned several times in previous posts ) needs looking at ! But not terribly, the oven ( also mentioned in passed posts) needs the function symbols addressing as this was like Russian roulette in what the oven was put on . Lovely walk into Marazion, would recommend a visit to the kings arm pub and the Cutty sark restaurant , both served excellent food ( take a torch for the walk back , there are no street lights ) . Overall a fantastic base for a Cornish holiday !
