Your Holiday at The Summer House

Imagine heading down the road towards Mousehole, the sea shimmering at the end of the lane; turn off into the large, gravelled driveway shielded with bamboos from the outside world. The minute you leave your car you feel like you have entered a tropical paradise! Once you have unpacked your bags in the super-stylish and luxurious Summer House, sit out on the deck with a cold glass of rosé whilst the children swim off pent up energy in the sparkling blue pool next door. Once refreshed, wander down the lane from your holiday cottage to the picturesque village of Mousehole for drinks and dinner at The Old Coastguard Hotel.

Your days can alternate between time on some of Cornwall’s best beaches; Sennen Beach, Porthcurno or Praa Sand, to name just a few, are all within a 30 minute drive; in the summer book a surfing lessons or if the water is calmer then paddle board around the mount at Marazion, in the winter take an energising walk along the coast, warming up with a hot chocolate in a beach cafe. On other days then lace up the hiking boots for a stroll along the south west coast path; there are so many routes to choose from; or explore the historic towns; Penzance is only a few miles away, see our journal for good tips on what to do whilst you are visiting. From Penzance you can jump on the train and visit famous St Ives and the Tate St Ives or Barbara Hepworth museum and sculpture garden.

Fresh back from a week in Mousehole and I have to say it’s been voted our favourite holiday by all five members of the family which includes the dog!
