Find Your Ideal Cornish Cottage Holiday

Our stay in Carn Du House, Mousehole for our family holiday was nothing less than exceptional! The house was full of character and charm as well as being extremely spacious for 7 of us plus dogs! Sat high above the gorgeous fishing village of Mousehole, Carn Du House commands spectacular 180 degree views across Mounts Bay and beyond - a view that can be enjoyed from your very own bathtub! Phay, at Stylish Cornish Cottages, could not have been more accommodating and helpful (particularly when we left some of our belongings behind!). Our stay was made even more perfect by a welcome hamper, crisp clean bed linen and towels plus an extra set of towels for use in the outside infinity pool - which was much enjoyed this summer. Mousehole is a great holiday destination full of lovely cafes, delis, and restaurants yet small enough to feel friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend a stay in Carn Du House and thank you, once again, Phay, for helping to make our holiday so memorable.

Just returned from staying at Corner Barn. A stylish, comfortable property in a lovely, tranquil location perched up high, just above Praa Sands and Hendra beach with great views across the coastline. A great place for a peaceful getaway, but close enough to access the coastal path, walk down to the beaches and visit nearby amenities. We would definitely recommend and would love to go back.

Another stay at Mousehole Cottage! Cosy, pretty and everything you’ll need for a perfect break. Lovely little garden with a sea view and a parking space. Phay is a superb host and will make sure everything is as it should be! Looking forward to our 4th in November 😊

We booked Bosavern near st Just. The whole booking process was easy and clear. When I needed to speak to someone Stylish answered the phone and were clear and helpful with all communication. Our holiday was hassle free and would use company again, top of the list!!(and we’ve used a few!!!)
The property had too many wow features to list!

My wife and I stayed in the Porth Nanven Cottage for 9 days in May 2025. The cottage was spectacular and we enjoyed our time there. It is outfitted with almost everything one needs; the only thing we couldn't find were ice cube trays. I would give it 5 stars, except that the couch is in dire need of replacement as are the frying pans. The couch sags badly and was very hard on my 78 year old back.

Stayed 1st -10May 26
Bosavern, St Just
Just back from a lovely week at this comfortable, cosy and peaceful accommodation; very well equipped with everything you will need for a self catering stay.
It is surprisingly spacious with a separate sunroom overlooking a beautiful well kept garden; private and well screened and fully enclosed so safe to let our small dog run free.
There are lots of walks all around the Cot valley, the foot paths seem to go in all directions but always down to the sea, easy to get onto the coastal path and the walk to Cape Cornwall is well worth trying.
St Just which is only 10- 15 minutes walk via a foot path to the left of the property as a very good Co-op, several pubs, Bakery, fish and chip shop, cafes and many more.
The Queens Arms in Botallack is well worth a visit.

Beautiful Mousehole Cottage.
Phay couldn't have done enough, we arrived to a lovely hamper of local goodies.
The cottage is right in the heart of Mousehole and with a private parking space too.
The cottage was so well equipped, next year we won't have to bring so much.
It's clean and there's a great view of the sea.
It has a lovely little enclosed courtyard that our dogs were safe in, a great sunny sport for breakfast and then later in the evening you can have a sit to unwind after a long day exploring.
We are going back again next year.

This was our second stay in Mousehole at Mousehole Cottage. It is so warm and welcoming, very much home from home. Everything you could think of is there for you. The cottage is warm and very comfy, lots of space and lovely sea views. Great location in Mousehole with just a short walk to the sea and has parking. We had a lovely few days enjoying Mousehole again with it's unique charm. Some really good restaurants (No 2 is great and the Mousehole Deli & Kitchen), an easy and enjoyable walk into Newlyn and Penzance, some fabulous coastal footpaths and stunning scenery.
Phay is very helpful and responded to emails very quickly and with lots of info. We would love to come back, perhaps stay somewhere new next time in another ‘Stylish Cornish Cottage’ property to enjoy another part of Cornwall but Mousehole Cottage has a special place in our hearts.

Great service thanks.

Rinsey Head. This is our second family stay in this wonderful property - despite it's commanding position on the headland the home is weather tight and warm as toast, with the best sea views I've come across in Cornwall. A firm family favourite and elegantly managed by Phay!

My family (two teenagers, my husband and I) spent 5 days at Windmills, just a short walk from Praa Sands beach. The flat was well equipped with everything we needed and I was particularly impressed that they'd put up a real Christmas tree for us (we stayed from 22-27th December), a touch my children really appreciated! This is the ideal base to explore the area, go to the beach or relax in the light, comfortable sitting room and enjoy the peace. It's also dog friendly which our springer spaniel loved!

The Most special of special places. The Sea, the sky and of course the house take you somewhere truly magical. It really doesn't matter about the weather. The place is just magnificent , and special we will always try to return if we can.

We spent a wonderful few days at this lovely property Mousehole Cottage (which was extremely dog friendly). It’s a lovely, cosy cottage close to the sea and Mousehole harbour (within 50 metres of The Old Coastguard Hotel) with its own, dedicated parking space. The cottage is in great condition and has all the fixture and fittings that you will need for a great stay. A lovely wood burner for winter and autumn evenings is a real winner! All in all highly recommended and we will definitely book again as it’s an ideal house to explore the beautiful coastline and enjoy everything that this area has to offer … well done Phay at Stylish Cornish Cottages!

Stayed at Little Barn for a week. Lovely spot. Able to walk to pub and down to Prussia Cove. Good access to coastal path and buses. That cottage is beautiful and well equipped. Friendly owners. Sorry only 4 stars as WiFi very slow or absent and no phone signal. I guess if you want to get away from all that it's ideal!

Wir haben im September ein paar sehr schöne Tage im Carn du Cottage oberhalb von Mousehole verbracht. Sehr süß und gemütlich eingerichtet, mit einem phantastischen Panorama-Blick über das Meer. Phay hat uns einen tollen Urlaub ermöglicht, war immer erreichbar, hat sich um alles gekümmert. Begrüßt wurden wir mit einem Blumenstrauß auf dem Esstisch. Auch für diese liebe Geste unserem ganz herzlichen Dank! Beste Grüße aus Hamburg von Suse & Carsten

The Summer House
Wow, what a find. Gorgeous property with a great welcome from the owners. Thoughtful touches throughout the beautifully decorated house from a fab cake, wine, milk, tea and doggy treats too. An easy walk into Mousehole where we had super evenings out after exploring the nearby coves and landmarks during the day. Phay was great with booking too, happy to email or chat which was great.

Re: Porth Nanven Cottage 12th-19th Sept.2025. A second great stay at the cottage. A very warm welcome with some local "goodies" to help us settle-in. The improved kitchen is lovely and there is every thing that could be needed. What better than to be able to access the Coast Path from your own front door?

We had a wonderful 2 week holiday at Windmills in August. A perfect location for access to Praa Sands beach as well as The Welloe and Stones Reef which both serve great food and drinks. The 2 bedroom apartment is very spacious, clean and comfortable, with sea views from the front windows, and has everything you need. It is located on a very quiet campsite and we enjoyed walking along the beach every morning with our dog. It is a good base for exploring South West Cornwall and there are several cliff paths to walk. Phay was very helpful with our booking and during our stay and we will definitely return.

Carn Du Cottage is perfect! We love it there. It is a very comfortable place to stay, well equipped, terrific views, great balcony and just marvellous being able to park easily. Mousehole is such a lovely place and I can't imagine staying anywhere else other than Carn Du!

We’ve just come back from the most wonderful stay at Little Barn, Goldsithney — and we loved it so much, we decided to extend our trip by another three nights!
The location couldn’t be better if you’re looking for peace and quiet, but still want easy access to Penzance, Helston, The Lizard and the South West Coastal Path. One of the highlights for us was the night sky — with almost no light pollution, the stargazing was absolutely magical.
From the start, communication with Phay was fantastic. She made everything so easy, and the welcome pack prepared by the owners of the cottage was full of information including thoughtful, local recommendations.
The cottage itself felt spacious, light, and homely — plenty of room for us and our big dog, who loved the footpaths right on the doorstep for his morning walks. It was such a relaxing setting for all of us.
And we have to mention the vegan scones and homemade jam waiting for us when we arrived — such a kind and delicious welcome!
We honestly can’t recommend Little Barn highly enough. It gave us everything we wanted for a perfect break!

We spent a lovely few days at The Bank St Just with our doggie. Perfectly located in the middle of St.Just which is a fun, buzzing little town. The cottage is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Thanks for a great stay and the super generous welcome pack. Weve stayed in a few of Phays properties at Stylish Cornish Cottages , all of them have been beautifully managed and in tip top condition.Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful break staying at Porth Nanven Cottage. Very comfortable, in a perfect secluded but not remote position, walking distance to the SW coast path. The Cottage was beautifully presented with a very pretty garden. Will definitely book again. Highly recommended.

Mousehole Cottage was a lovely home from home, generous welcoming gifts, well equipped and parking a huge bonus. Great location to explore West Cornwall. Many thanks Phay!

We had a lovely relaxing stay at ‘The Little Barn’ A beautiful well thought out place with lots of room. Very clean. A garden that’s a credit to the owner. We don’t have a dog although pets are welcome. We had no issues with pet smells etc. Will definitely return to this lovely place.

The Summer House was a fabulous place to stay. Quiet and idyllic but close to Mousehole with lovely restaurants, cafes and shops. The Summer House itself was nothing short of spectacular, John and Karen were the best hosts, on hand and available to answer any questions. The property is so well equipped and access to the pool and tennis court was lovely given that the weather was beautiful during our stay in Cornwall. We hope to return.

We stayed at Windmills in Praa Sands and had the most wonderful holiday. The cottage was incredibly well-equipped — soft blankets and board games to nightlights and torches for the kids, every little detail had been thought of to make the stay comfortable and relaxing.

We were greeted with a lovely welcome pack of shortbread, fresh flowers, and delicious local apple juice — a warm and thoughtful touch. The flat itself is spacious, full of natural light, and in a perfect location just a short walk to the stunning beach at Praa Sands.

Phay was kind, responsive, and so thoughtful in helping us find the right spot. We couldn’t have asked for a better base for our family holiday, and we’re already looking forward to returning!

I cannot recommend Stylish Cornish Cottages enough. We love Phay! Every year we email her with our needs and she will find the most loving, perfect home for a wonderful holiday.
She is super accomodating, works on your budget, preferred location and needs.

This May, we stayed in a lovely cottage in Mousehole, Morningtide, that has spetacular views, confy beds and very warm showers. There are two log burners and the living room is the perfect place to relax and enjoy some reading time.
You can walk anywhere and everywhere in Mousehole, you can rent electric bikes or just go for hikes, there is so so much to do.

We are already planning our next getaway and will definitely be reaching out to Phay for a new place to stay. You can't go wrong!

We stayed at Mousehole cottage ,which is very close to the harbour & the ship Inn good food .Everything you need is in the cottage even an ironing board lol .Fully recommend this place .

Recently returned from an amazing stay through Stylish Cornish Cottages, the stay and service were equally superb!

We had a fantastic time in Mousehole Cottage. Brilliant dwelling, very clean, beautiful views and the parking space is a huge bonus. Thanks to the location of the cottage you are able to dodge all the narrow roads in town. Which can be a blessing at times. Communication with Phay from "Stylish Cornish Cottage" was also top notch.

We had a lovely holiday at Mousehole Cottage, our second stay here. The cottage is in a great position, with a very handy parking space. Extremely well equipped, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable - we hope to visit again soon! Thank you Phay 😊

We stayed 4 nights at the Mousehole Cottage. The cottage is in a great location close to the pubs and restaurants. Phay is a great host and made us feel welcome. The views are fantastic, over all a great experience

We had a fabulous few days at Porth Nanven Cottage in February - really comfortable and beautifully appointed property in the most spectacular location. The Cot Valley feels so far away from the hustle and bustle, but it's only a 20-minute stroll to the lovely, vibrant little town of St Just. And the dark skies make for some incredible stargazing!

We stayed at Windmills and it was perfect. Stunning rural location - within walking distance of glorious beach and bar, lunch restaurant. Our accommodation had everything we needed, gorgeous bedding, all the facilities one could ask for. Will definitely be back. Thank you for the best holiday ever.

A stunning cottage in a breathtaking location, I think we may well return next year.

Porth Nanven Cottage was fabulous - very comfortable, thoughtfully equipped and in the most incredible location. Phay was always super helpful. Will definitely be booking again!

Mousehole Cottage had everything we needed and more, with sea views from almost every window and private parking (which is a real bonus in Mousehole). It was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. When Stylish Cornish Cottages say dogs are welcome, they really mean it - dog treats, bowls and a towel provided together with special throws so your dog can join you on the sofa. Communications with Phay were great too!

We had the most glorious week staying at Rinsey Head for the May 1/2 term holiday. Calling it the best location for a holiday home in Cornwall is not an exaggeration. It was perfect. The most stunning, panoramic sea views, towering cliffs, and the sound of the waves crashing against the cliffs. The house itself was fantastic, from every room you just find yourself looking out of the windows, relaxing and smiling. Beautifully clean, spacious and tasteful, it provided the ideal venue for a celebratory holiday with the family. Even though we were only 20 minutes from home it felt like a world away. Thank you so much Phay for providing what seems to be the ultimate Cornish getaway.

August 24
We have just returned from another memorable and beautiful fortnight at Rinsey Head. Probably the fact that this is the forth year running that we have returned to this stunning property for a holiday- despite only living 20 minutes away on the North Coast of Cornwall- speaks volumes! It is such a special place and one feels it is a privilege to be able to stay there and just breathe in the peace and the staggering location and views. Pictures really cant do the place justice! Indeed, we only left the headland a few times to pick up more food, and then returned to enjoy the unique location and the sense of truly being away from it all with the family. Phay, as ever, has been awesome in arranging everything and looking after us- many thanks again.

Stayed for two weeks at the end of July in The Barn, Ashton. This was our second visit and it didn’t disappoint. Our dogs love the huge, secure garden and the welcome dog treats and dog blankets are a nice touch. We explored the local area, Praa sands and Gwithian beach were firm favourites, along with the Minnack theatre. The accommodation is spacious, comfortable and a great base to explore. Would recommend.

Just spent a wonderful week at Windmills at Praa Sands booked through Phay at Stylish Cornish Cottages. Everything about this holiday from booking through to the comfort of our stay was 1st class. Phay made booking very easy and answered all my questions. Windmills is a gorgeous apartment in a great location for peace and tranquility with glimpses of the beautiful Praa Sands beach and sea. An absolute bonus to be able to walk to the beach and the local eating places. there are two approximately 10-15 mins walk down the Cornish lane.
The attention to detail was excellent, the apartment was very well equipped with everything you need for a self catering holiday and more.
We received a gorgeous welcome pack as we were one of the first few guests staying at Windmills and even Molly our dog was left treats! From dog towel to beach towels, games, books and the most gorgeous shower gel so much thought and care went into making our stay just perfect.
We absolutely loved our stay here and will definitely be back and have no hesitation in recommending Stylish Cornish Cottages.

I have stayed many times at Porth Nanven Cottage over the years. It is situated in a stunning position tucked under the coastal path, left to Sennen and right to Zennor, perfect for walkers. It is also near a small beach which is lovely for swimming at low tide. The house is comfortable and very well equipped with high quality bedding and furnishings. The Cot Valley is beautiful and quiet, except for birdsong. Another plus is the very friendly and helpful owners who live nearby. It is a beautiful place which I highly recommend.

This cottage is the perfect getaway in the perfect Cornwall village. Comfortable and cozy with a great location (including parking ... a rare commodity in Mousehole) and an excellent kitchen. The little seaview yard is delightful.

Absolutely loved our stay at Mousehole Cottage. Felt right at home as soon as we walked in. All the rooms were lovely and it was exceptionally clean. The attention to detail made it special. Some lovely views out to sea and a nice little garden to sit and enjoy a drink. Mousehole was a beautiful scenic village with lots to do. Had some good food and drink and went on some great walks. Good base to explore from. Would definitely go back.

It’s a real struggle to write a review as I don’t want too many more people knowing about this beautiful place for fear of it being booked up! But SCC are brilliant, Phay always looks after us perfectly and the house is just my favourite place in the world, nothing beats those views to wake up to. We all love it so much.

Yet another wonderful annual stay at Rinsey Head; surely the finest situated house in Cornwall, looking out onto the Atlantic Ocean, with The Lizard on one side and Mousehole and Newlyn on the other! The coastal path running through the grounds, for those who are feeling fit! During the first two weeks this year, we couldn't believe how calm the sea was; it was just like a mill pond, but that all changed in the third week for the usual rough Cornish sea and it's wonderful to watch the waves crashing on the rocks with spray going over the house! Phay always on call to help and we mentioned again that the lounge is crying out for a wood burning stove and the toy size TV could do with expanding a great deal, as it is so difficult to read any text on the screen in that huge room! Here's to next year!
