About this property

Beautiful cosy cottage, only mins walk from Mousehole harbour, 3 Large Bedrooms

This property is our home from home and is much loved by all our family. Our cottage is ideal for memorable family breaks by the coast. The cottage is at the top of Mousehole lane as you enter the small friendly village of Paul with its beautiful surroundings. The village church is the burial ground for the last native Cornish speaking lady from Cornwall, here you will also find the monument in her memory. Opposite the church is The Kings Arms pub which is a lovely local pub which we recommend for friendly service, great selection of gins and good food.

Approx 7 min walk down hill to Mousehole harbour. At the harbour there are some nice small shops, pubs, restaurants and beautiful views out to sea.

Unlimited Fibre internet therefore working from home is no issue.

Check-in time will be 2pm and check-out will be 10:30am.

Picture perfect cottage.

What I imagined a ‘cottage’ to be - really homely and quaint and cute; the owners have decorated it in keeping with its style. It’s not perfect - had a bit of damp and bits and bobs need a bit of tlc - but the fact it’s not perfect almost adds to its charm. Lovely crisp, white bed linen and loads of towels. Absolutely loads of kitchenware too.

Lovely cottage

We had a lovely stay at this cottage, it was spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. Very comfortable bed and sofa. We also loved the open plan kitchen-dining room. It was great to be able to walk into Mousehole without having to worry about parking! Having the Kings Arms next door was a real bonus as we managed to book a table there 5 out of our 7 nights. Everywhere else in Mousehole was fully booked. The fields at the back of the pub was a really useful place to let our dog have a run first thing in the morning and later in the evening.

Lovely part of the world

Overall the property was comfortable - couple of niggles which the owner will discuss with the new cleaner. First time we have stayed in a property that allows pets and we don’t have any - not sure we would again but this property is perfect for people with dogs. Paul is a great base for staying near Mousehole - very close to walk in everyday - we certainly had lots of exercise. We tried all the eateries in the village and thankful to the Kings Arms for fitting us in late on arrival day after an 8 hour drive!

Good stay but ...

Nice property, good location, good facilities and nice back garden. There were a couple of maintenance issues that the owners offered to have fixed during our stay which we declined as wasn't convenient. Whilst this didn't detract from our stay it is something that would potentially need to be rectified prior to other guests staying, namely the TV did not work, the shower drained very very slowly and the shower attachment on the bath tap wasn't tight enough.

Great location spacious and comfortable

10 min walk from Mousehole and right next to the pub. We arrived the week after lock down and the house was looking worse for wear. Garden was over grown, and we had to clean it up and had to wash down the patio to make it usable and house was very damp and a lot of plaster had fallen off the wall and walls visibly wet. The brown leather sofa was covered in mould. Owner were very upset at the condition and was not the usual standard. Out this down to the first day after lock down and house empty for 6 months.

Beautiful house in a great location.

This is a beautiful spacious house, very clean and well equipped for our family holiday in October. We loved the large kitchen dining room and the spacious lounge. Beds were great and the lovely bath a real treat. We enjoyed the king's arms and pottering around Mousehole plus exploring further afield. The dogs had a great time as did the three year old!! Thank you so much.

Clean and spacious - great location

We arrived to find scaffolding! An eyesore on such a lovely cottage/garden. Poles to the ground from around the whole property obstructing all the window views except 1. We contacted the owners who contacted the scaffolding co. (to their knowledge it had been removed weeks ago), told it would be removed Mon/Tues. Each day went on, had to chase the owners up who chased the scaffolders! It was still there when we left, it really spoilt our holiday and using the beautiful garden as much as we’d hoped as it was just an ugly view like staying on a building site. Unsecured ladders at ground level from the pub carpark caused some anxiety in our family of security especially at night after a hot day when we’d like windows open with sea air, Steph assured me that Paul is a very safe place and all was okay ( I guess our dog would have barked loudly too) but it was just a stressful situation all round for all of us including the owners. We cannot fault the inside of the cottage, spotlessly clean, spacious, fabulous kitchen and bathroom, very large bedrooms, very high standard and was lovely. The road to Mousehole is very steep on the way back up to the cottage and narrow, with a dog it was difficult avoiding cars and would be difficult for anyone with health or mobility issues. The King Arms pub next door is good for free parking next to the cottage and you can easily see the car park from the garden. We went for dinner and mentioned we were parking overnight as agreed with the owners (signs up saying no overnight stays) they said the owners shouldn’t of said this as parking overnight isn’t allowed. I checked the info back at the cottage, definitely agreed with owners and was all fine. King Arms are slow at taking your order if you are sat outside even on a quiet day. We had hot weather every day end Aug/early Sept. Dog ban on beaches until 6pm until Aug 31st so we went later and saw sunsets at Sennan Cove and other local beaches. Rock Pool Cafe and Coastguard Inn in Mousehole great table views to sea and excellent food/drinks and great service and dog friendly. Lane to Mousehole from house steep on way back, narrow road with the dog, you need to be fit and have no mobility issues. We saw dolphins and seals with Cormoran Boat Trips - a great experience and dog friendly. Lands End and Porthcurno beach beautiful & famous Kynance Cove worth the drive. We hope we can resolve the situation soon Steph and Matt for the inconvenience during our stay.

Homely and relaxing

The property was lovely and spacious for the 2 of us. Parking was great, pub and village hall car park right next door. Very peaceful location. Literally 5 mins down the hill to mousehole. Quite close to all of the places we wanted to visit. Hosts were brilliant. The day we travelled there I had a few questions and they answered rapidly considering steph was actually giving birth to their baby boy!!!! Would definitely stay again if we were wanting to stay around that area Mackrel sky is a must if you are in Newlyn. Beautiful freshly cooked food and so relaxed Thankyou for having us

Really enjoyable week in this spacious and well equipped house. Ideally located for Mousehole, St. Ives, Sennen Cove, Minack Theatre and all that the western tip of Cornwall has to offer. Gorgeous kitchen. Spacious bedrooms. Excellent Lewis takeaway fish and chips in Newlyn. Great pub next door for meals. Would definitely return.

A Week in Paul - A Cornish village

The first morning brought a pleasant surprise on Sunday morning when we heard the Paul church choir singing in the church Quiet Garden behind the cottage. Delightful. Twice a day horse and rider pass by the cottage, going to and from.. Three times a day the resident of the house next door is visited by a neighbour on a rota … a village community looking after their own. The church had an open day on Wednesday, we were disappointed to miss it as we had gone to the Penlee Gallery at Penzance for the Dame Laura Knight exhibition. Stunning. Fish and chips from Lewis’ in Newlyn. Delicious. We are still reluctant to visit restaurants so we dined in. The kitchen is very well equipped and easy to cook in. Take out coffee sat on the harbour wall at Lamorna watching the waves break on the rocks until the drizzle threatened to become heavier. Back to the cottage and the crossword. No need to travel far from the comfort of the cottage. Big kitchen to sit around in, comfy sofas to crash out on, sun trap garden, pub next door but we preferred to have G&Ts in the garden. After 15 months of continually reacting to covid rules and hard slog to keep our business on track we were more than ready for a rest. The cottage was the perfect bolt hole, close to Mousehole, Newlyn, Penzance and St Ives with all that the area has to offer. Lots of laughing, sleeping, recharging. Thank you for a great week.

Wonderful cottage in a fab location

We absolutely LOVED our stay here, the cottage was clean and so well equipped. We had fab weather so ate outside most evenings. We walked down to Mousehole and swam in the harbour, it was all so idyllic. The cottage was a great base for us to explore this part of Cornwall, some of our fave places were the Minnack Theatre, Sennen, Porthcurno beach, St. Michael’s Mount and Cape Cornwall. We will most certainly be back! Thank you so much 😊

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Stephanie Rosier

Host profile image
As a family who bought this cottage in 2013. We have completely refurbished it to a high standard. Creating a home from home and a wonderful holiday home for our guests to enjoy. We have added lots of personal touches to create comfort in all rooms, including pictures, cushions and decorative items. The house is very well equipped, making it a very comfortable place to stay.

Why they chose this property

After many years of holidaying in the south of Cornwall, we fell in love with the area. It wasn't a hard decision to buy a property here in Paul.

The cottage is in a small, quaint village with a friendly local atmosphere. The cottage is only minutes from Mousehole harbour, which is the ideal location for us. We have spent many days at the harbour with our family on the beach, and enjoying the atmosphere with the locals and holiday makers.

What makes this property unique

We would highly recommend the area to anyone that has not visited this part of Cornwall or who have, and are yet to stay in the area and experience the local life.

The cottage is a short drive into Penzance (approx. 7 mins) for all your local conveniences. Close to St Michaels Mount, St Ives and many scenic walks.
