About this property

Tides Reach - Mousehole Harbourside - Free WiFI - Spectacular Views

Tide’s Reach; a beautifully revamped Lamorna stone cottage that sits right on the water’s edge of Mousehole’s picturesque harbour and just a minute’s stroll from the beach. All style, light and coastal charm, this is Mousehole at its best, a wonderful place where you and your family can steal away to for blissful relaxation with nothing but sky, sea and bobbing boats to keep you company in one of Cornwall’s best seaside villages.

The money is simply reserved and then released afterwards if there is no claim. We will contact you nearer the time of your arrival to arrange this.

The best seaside stay and location made for a wonderful holiday

Absolutely beautiful flat overlooking the harbour. We had a wonderful stay and any tiny problems concerning how things worked were dealt with immediately. I would recommend this flat to anyone wanting a peaceful stay with a safe environment for children and great for adult swimming. Will certainly book again.

A beautiful cottage

We have been visiting Mousehole at Christmas for over 20 years and this is the best self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in. The view alone is worth paying for! The cottage itself is super comfortable, warm and very clean with all the equipment you could need. The welcome pack of milk, butter, wine, mince pies and cannoli was also amazing. We had only been there for half an hour and we booked for 2026! The staff at Luxury Coastal are also friendly, efficient and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you.

We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable stay.

Harbour View Takes You In

Looking at the ebb and flow of the tide and the families neither harbour, the boats bobbing, the teenagers jumping in, time passes beautifully. A real place to slow down and breathe. Also fabulous restaurants in the village. No need to leave apart from coastal walks!

Perfect stay

We had a really lovely time at Tides Reach and the location was perfect. The property is charming, well equipped, nicely laid out and we found it very comfortable and welcoming. The terrace and the huge feature window in the upstairs living space were a real bonus and gave us such lovely views of the harbour. Location is great - we loved the fact that we could just walk or bus everywhere and left the car behind at home. We also loved that we were only a few mins walk from a couple of really nice deli’s, great coffee and some lovely little restaurants. We will definitely be making a return visit!

Lovely house in amazing location

House looked exactly like in the photos. It was beautiful, well presented and had everything we needed. Location couldn’t be beaten, we could sit at the table for breakfast and watch the tide in the harbour each morning. We had a few welcoming gifts in the house from the local deli, which were delicious and a lovely touch and really helped us to settle in and enjoy local produce. I’d recommend the house to anyone looking to stay in Mousehole and it was so lovely I’m sure we will be back ourselves.

PERFECT LOCATION

Positives Tides reach is very well decorated and the location is wonderful . We stay in Mousehole once a year and it was lovely to hear the sound of the sea at night . Having drinks on the terrace was the best place in the village with the view and the sounds of the ocean waves . We cooked in the kitchen quite a few nights and the TV was perfectly situated for four of us to watch comfortably . The water in the shower was constantly hot for all of us . Negatives The bed in the second bedroom was not a full . It was a little bigger than a single at best. Both mattresses in both rooms were uncomfortable . The Patio is shared and the other occupants walk past our bedroom windows to enter and exit , they also sat outside by our bedroom windows and talked which felt pretty intrusive . The house needs a deep clean . Some of the cookware was old and rusty . It was overpriced for what we had and recommend the owners upgrade to warrant the cost .
Response from VrboOwner on 29 Sept 2025
Hi Lorraine, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We're really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful location of Tides Reach and the peaceful sound of the sea, there’s truly something special about Mousehole, and we’re glad you were able to relax and enjoy drinks on the terrace with that beautiful view. We also appreciate your comments about the kitchen setup, the hot shower, and the comfortable TV arrangement for your group. It’s great to know those aspects helped make your stay enjoyable. Regarding the concerns you raised, we’re genuinely sorry that the second bedroom and mattresses didn’t meet your expectations, this is listed as a small double bed on the listing which is what is accurate to what is in the property. All mattresses were purchased in the last couple of years but they will be looked into. We also thank you for raising your concerns about the patio and the privacy, this is also mentioned in the listing that although it is a private terrace, the neighbouring properties have right of way to access their properties via this way. We do apologise if this felt intrusive. As for the cleanliness and cookware, we’ve taken note and will ensure a deep clean will be scheduled and that kitchen items are replaced or upgraded as needed. We appreciate your feedback, it helps us improve and provide a better experience for all our guests. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal team

Stunning location

Absolutely stunning location. Very clean and well equipped. We parked North Quay car park and used wheelie suitcases.. fairly flat journey. We stayed parked up and used the wonderful Mousehole bus which goes every 20 mins to Penzance and from there you can bus or train all over Cornwall. 3 mile flat coastal walk to Penzance if you prefer. Mousehole Deli for excellent coffee. Note if 4 people staying the smaller bedroom has limited wardrobe space as half taken up by hot water tank. Kitchen a bit tired but very clean. Small issues like hob lights, oven light, fridge light not working. Small things to fix that would have made a difference.

A stunning property

We had a wonderful time here at Tides Reach in January. We found the beds comfortable, the showers excellent and everywhere was very clean. We loved sitting in the picture window in the early morning, watching the light change over the sea and the dawn skies clearing. One morning we were lucky to see gannets plunging into the sea, just beyond the sea wall. The binoculars were very useful. We loved the delicious produce left for us from the local shop, a fantastic resource for Mousehole, well worth a visit. Most eating places were closed in Mousehole in January but we had a fantastic meal at the Alverne in Penzance. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals at the cottage. We thought Mousehole was a great base for visiting all that West Cornwall has to offer.

Hi Jane, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, so glad to hear that the comfortable beds and views of the gannets from the window in the morning contributed to you having an enjoyable stay.

Fantastic Location and Views

This was our first visit to Tides Reach but we have been to Mousehole many times. The position of the property is fantastic, looking directly out over the pretty harbour. And 100% recommend a stay in Tides Reach for this alone. There is an outside sitting area which is perfect to enjoy your morning coffee and and glass of wine in the evening. The guests from the other properties have to walk past your front door to access their properties (I think there are 3 cottages that have shared access) but this was not a problem and we all enjoyed a chat and passing the time of day when we were sat outside. The property and furnishings are of a very high standard and we wanted for nothing during our stay. I feel Tides Reach is about to need some TLC and could have been slightly cleaner but this would not stop us booking again. The bed in the second bedroom is a 3/4 bed - not a double. We travelled alone so this did not affect our stay but I'm sure it's listed as a double bed on the website. 100% recommend this property - the views, the accommodation and the communication from Luxury Coastal was exceptional. We parked in the carpark on the harbour and parking fees have just increased to £10 per day.

Lovely for an out-of-season break

The cottage is ideally located right on the harbour in Mousehole. The views from the dining table in the lounge are mesmerising. Parking was awkward (£5 all day in one of the nearby car parks) but would be awful in high season. We visited in January when the temperatures were sub-zero and were plenty warm enough. The cottage is clean, cosy and welcoming, just mind yourself on the narrow stairs. A welcome basket of goodies from the local deli was a nice touch. Downsides were that the dishwasher was pretty useless, and there was quite a bit of black mould in the main bedroom on the walls in the window area and elsewhere. Weirdly the paint on the bedroom walls flaked off, and every morning we awoke to our things being covered in a fine white dust which was both annoying and a little alarming when you think you've breathed it in all night too! There was enough hot water for showers for two people at a time, but you'd really struggle if there were four of you wanting showers at the same time of day. Mousehole is a seasonal destination and only one of the local pubs was open during the week we were there, and many shops were closed til Spring. Two restaurants were closed due to refurbishment too, so be mindful of this if you visit in winter. The plus side of course was that it was very peaceful with few tourists around, so it made for a relaxing break.
Response from VrboOwner on 8 Feb 2024
Hi Claire, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, glad to hear you had a relaxing break and enjoyed the welcome basket of goodies. We are sorry to hear you encountered some issues on your stay. The owner has said they will take a look at the dishwasher so thank you for letting us know about this. With the black mould we are sorry that was there during your stay, the cleaners have been asked to pay special attention to the areas that are subject to damp during the changeovers it is being repainted in due course. The paint dust is a common occurrence in Mousehole and it is believed to be the salt coming through the stone, the owners will ensure the cleaners thoroughly vacuum the wall itself as well as at the base of the wall at every changeover. They will be re-painting the wall in due course and plan to apply a type of paint that is specifically designed for stone. They use earthborn paint which is water based, virtually VOC (volatile organic components) free, free from harmful emissions and vegan friendly. The hot water system unfortunately cannot cope with two showers running at the same time but there should be enough hot water in the tank depending on the length of the showers, the hot water reheats in the morning and night the owner has now extended the heating time to ensure there is plenty of hot water. We are glad to hear you had a lovely stay enjoying the views, and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

A great property!

We booked Tides Reach for our honeymoon and loved it. A wonderful location. We were there during Storm Bert and it was a warm and cosy place to watch the waves battering the harbour wall. Everything about the cottage was high-end and lovely. The welcome gifts and fizz were muchly appreciated, thank you. Our one disappointment was that the flame-effect fire on the pictures was no longer there. We were looking forward to cosying up in front of that!
