Gwylan House enjoys glorious sea views across Mousehole harbour to St Michael’s Mount and the Lizard peninsula. Old Standard Cottage is just three doors away around the corner. Both these listed cottages are located only a few yards from the water's edge at the heart of the former fishing village of Mousehole, three miles west of Penzance. Today this quiet, ancient harbour shelters 2 sandy beaches which are perfect for children. Gwylan House has a fully enclosed garden with sea views. Old Standard Cottage has a fully enclosed small back yard. The back doors of both properties lead into a common “secret passage” and rear exit – ideal for sandy feet.
In 1595 the Spanish attacked Mousehole (pronounced Mowzel), then the leading town in the area. The only property to survive was the manor house of the Keigwin family. Old Standard Cottage, built of solid granite, is thought to be part of that manor.
Both properties are now comfortable holiday homes equipped to a high standard, including telephone and wifi broadband access in Gwylan House. Please note that the steep stairs and steps which add to the character of Gwylan House make this property unsuitable for very young children or anyone with mobility problems.
Mousehole has retained its unspoilt character as a Cornish fishing village, although the fishing fleet is now based at Newlyn. Beaches, shops, galleries, post office, restaurants and traditional pubs with good food are all within easy walking distance. Sea fishing trips and pleasure cruises are available from Penzance. Two golf courses are within easy reach.
