About this property

Romantic Luxury Apartment With Stunning Sea View In Mousehole, Wifi, Nespresso!

Christmas availability - a cosy, Cornish Christmas with the magical 'Mousehole Lights'

Nestled on romantic Poldark's coastline, Island Watch is a small but beautiful, purpose-built apartment set on two levels with stunning views of Mount's Bay and St Clement's Island and a private balcony. The apartment makes a romantic, convenient and comfortable base from which to enjoy South West Cornwall: in December for the magic of a traditional old English Village Christmas, in the Spring for the walking and the flowers, in Summer for the beaches or, for one of our famous Indian Summers right into November. And every day when you rise or come home, you have the spectacular sea views to drink in from your lounge or the private balcony. It's a great spot for a honeymoon or special anniversary.

For Island Watch, made just for two, climb the simple wooden steps to your own entrance leading onto the first floor. Here you'll find the lounge with kitchenette and French doors to the sheltered balcony. Flanked by palm trees you can sip fresh coffee from the Nespresso machine and watch the wildlife in the sea and on the Island. The balcony is sheltered and quite a suntrap. The small wc and shower are also on this level.
Upstairs to the bedroom under the eaves. Here there's a very comfortable kingsized bed with good mattress (we renew regularly) and good quality cotton linen. There's also a small sofa, a selection of books (English, French and German) and storage space for your clothes. From the skylight you can see the Island again and if you leave it open, fall asleep listening to the sound of the water lapping on the shore some 50 metres away.
Parking right in front of the apartment gives you peace of mind in coming and going - so much of Mousehole has no reliable parking to offer. The flat is equipped with: TV, DVD player, Ipod dock and radio, Wifi, microwave/small oven, two plate induction hob, fridge with freezer compartment, Nespresso coffee machine, tea, coffee.
We live next door to the apartment and are happy to welcome you and leave you to yourselves or be on hand for any questions you may have or tips you need during your stay. If we are on holiday ourselves, my mother lives nearby and is on hand for any needs you have.
The house is neighboured by the gardens of the Old Coastguard Hotel, a boutique hotel with 13 rooms and a very fine restaurant. This is a quiet establishment and a lovely place to dine - but do book.

Marvellous Mousehole

Clean, comfortable, warm, very well placed and a wonderful view of the ocean from the balcony (especially for the new year fireworks). Bus to Penzance right outside and the car park space was invaluable, the hosts were amazing, friendly and gave brilliant details on where to eat and places to visit, loved it.

Beautiful quaint property

Wonderful time at Island Watch

The location is amazing. The closest I’ve ever slept to the sea! The living space is small but very comfortable with a lovely view across to Mousehole Harbour from the balcony. All you need for relaxing and preparing simple meals. Comfortable bed in the attic space upstairs. This is a fantastic area on the Cornish Coast. So much to do and see. Great bus service if needed/preferred. Many thanks to our hosts.

Lovely location

Lovely location on edge of Mousehole, easy parking. Small bathroom. Pitched ceiling in bedroom was somewhat back aching, but good floor space, good sized bed with crisp, fresh linen. Cooking facilities are adequate. View from lounge area and balcony is lovely. The host was very thoughtful with cut flowers and welcome pack. We enjoyed our stay.

Superb apartment in perfect location

Island Watch fulfilled all of our expectations. From the superb sea view to the facilities indoors, it was everything we could have hoped for. Well equipped, (the freebies were very much appreciated!), free parking was a real bonus, location perfect, what more can we say. Our enquiries were answered promptly and courteously. Easy to see that we will be recommmending Island Watch to others.

Magic Mousehole

In keeping with Mousehole, the property is compact but has everything you need. Wonderful seaview from the living area/terrace and parking out the back. Esme was super kind to us and lent me her walking poles (there are really fabulous coastal walks all around the area) and even did a load of washing for us. Above and beyond.

Little gem in Mousehole

Superb cosy apartment, amazing sunny balcony which was well used for coffees and glasses of wine. Small kitchen area which we used for simple breakfasts but we ate out mostly. Fab roast dinner at the Ship in Mousehole, dinner at The Deli, fish supper from Lewis’s in Newlyn. The area is wonderful, coastal walks are abundant. Esme and Rob communicated well with us and we had fresh flowers, cookies and wine to start is off. Well resourced property m, bedroom ceiling is low so be careful but bed is so comfortable. Highly recommend.

A perfect Holiday Hideaway

We loved our days here in this lovely place. A great location, with parking. Short stroll into the village, and a bus stop right outside for trips into Newlyn and Penzance....you really don't need your car. Everything you could want, and a beautiful view. Enjoyed the sound of the nearby sea lulling us to sleep. Friendly owner, and lots of extra goodies such as cookies and local onion relish! We'll be back in warmer weather so that we can relax on the balcony.

Lovely view

Very cosy flat ideal for me being on my own. Parking space a bonus although suitable for a small car. Very comfy bed and large attic bedroom with sloping ceilings, found kitchen a little small for comfort but provided everything you need. Fore St restaurant best one I've been to in Cornwall. View from lounge wonderful as well as the balcony. Steps were easily manageable. Thank you for the goodies and help.

About the host

Hosted by Rob McDowell

Host profile image
We are a husband and wife team. We love sharing the best of the West with guests.

Why they chose this property

We just love to watch the sea and its creatures feathered and finned. For this you need to be close and 50 metres is just about perfect! We also love to watch the sailing and fishing boats passing by and the Scillonian on its way to and from the Scilly Islands.
