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.

Die kleine, aber sehr liebevoll eingerichtete Wohnung bietet einen traumhaften Ausblick und ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt um die Gegend zu erkunden. Sehr wertvoll ist auch der Parkplatz direkt vor dem Haus. Die äußerst liebenswerte und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin Esme (spricht auch deutsch und französisch) hat ebenfalls dazu beigetragen, dass aus unserem Aufenthalt in Mousehole ein unvergesslicher Urlaub geworden ist.

Wir haben wunderbare 14 Tage in der hübschen Wohnung mit der tollen Aussicht aufs Meer verbracht. Der Kontakt zur Vermieterin war sehr nett und sie war immer ansprechbar. Die Wohnung hatte alles, was wir zu zweit brauchten. Auch das kleine Bad ist sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Der Ort Mousehole ist perfekt für einen ruhigen Urlaub, man kann sehr schöne Ausflüge unternehmen: Zu Fuß (Southwest Coast Path vor der Tür), mit dem Bus (vor der Tür) oder mit dem Auto (eigener Parkplatz vor der Tür). Alles in Allem eine tolle Location!!

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.

Wunderschöne Wohnung in einem malerischen Fischerort

Wir haben zum zweiten Mal einen wunderschönen Urlaub in Island Watch mit dem fantastischen Ausblick verbracht. Von Mousehole aus kann man Wanderungen auf dem South West Coast Path starten oder auch vom Hafen aus eine Bootstour unternehmen. Der Hafen lädt zum Verweilen ein und im Pub kann man den Tag ausklingen lassen. Alle 20 Minuten fährt ein Bus nach Penzance, wo man gut einkaufen kann. Hier gibt es auch einen Busbahnhof mit Verbindungen in alle Richtungen. Wir können die Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen.

About the host

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.
