“Harbour Lights is a lovely house in a great location and would recommend, the owners have though of everything with plenty of your normal household items and extra if you wanted to cook every night .”

A very welcoming arrangement of flowers , tea, coffee , sugar . milk and clotted cream shortbread waiting for us did not expect with the current covid restriction's know the check in was later in the day but as we could park up and explore Mousehole this was not a problem. Did read on one of your other reviews that parking was difficult there due to the narrow lane behind but don't let that put you off as we did not meet any other cars when we were coming and going from the property ...

We loved our time there.

“We had a fabulous time, the views were amazing.”

Mrs Ashley July 2020

“Harbour Lights is a modern property in a fantastic location - the sea views are wonderful, the rocky beach is opposite and Mousehole Harbour, with restaurants and facilities, is a 5 minute easy stroll.”

The house is light, spacious and very clean. There is an easily accessible private parking space on the lower road (with access to the house via several garden steps) or additional parking behind the house accessed via a narrow lane. The 3 bedrooms are all large and share access to 2 good quality bath/ shower rooms and an additional toilet. The house was well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable holiday. We would happily return to this property.

“Harbour Lights is a spacious, well equipped house in a fantastic position.”

It is very well maintained and it was lovely and clean. The views across Mounts bay from the balcony were wonderful, with lovely sunrises and beautiful moonlit nights. It is within easy walking distance to the picturesque harbour where there are several galleries and shops and places to eat and drink if needed. It is served by a very regular bus service to Penzance via Newlyn, which means you have no need to worry about parking, which as many will know, can be difficult in this part of the world, particularly during the summer months. I would not hesitate to recommend Harbour Lights to anyone and look forward to returning there in the future. I would also like to mention the excellent service from Sykes Holidays, very efficient and helpful.

Komar August 2019

“The location of the property with the sea views is wonderful but it would be helpful to know how extremely narrow the entrance road is and how tight and awkward the parking is, It was strange that the third bathroom did not have a toilet/ not clear in the description as who would guess this?”

Also thought the mattresses pillows ect substandard given the price of the property, The tv could have been at least 45 inches - family wanted to watch some movies in rsi Rh days and it was entirely too small, The style of decorating was lovely,

Mr Brown July 2019

“Amazing views over the sea and across to St Michael’s Mount from this beautiful house.”

Just 5 minutes walk to Mousehole Harbour with lots to do nearby. We will be back again.

Mrs Moyse May 2019

“Wonderful cottage- we’ve been there several times before when our daughters were younger.”

We came back after a nine year break, complete with grown -up daughters and hangers-on. Better than we all remembered it and we had a fantastic holiday. The lady who looks after the cottage was very helpful (I had to phone her to fid the cutlery! It’s in a drawer within a drawer below the hob!) and keeps the place spectacularly clean and tidy. Cream tea, milk and butter all in the fridge waiting for us. We are still debating whether Sting did actually stay there back in the ‘90s!!! (See previous visitors books!) jury still out....!

“Wonderful location.”

Fabulous cottage; clean, well equipped and comfortable Would certainly recommend

Mrs Haynes January 2019

“Loved harbour lights.”

Outstanding views. Property was well equipped and comfortable. Lovely décor. Parking: although plenty of space at back of property could be tricky for some people. Although lane down from property is narrow we did not encounter any problems. There is also one space that could be used on front. Loved the wood burner in middle of room although the property was well heated if you didn't want to use the log burner. Pipes are being laid on the road just as we left which could be a nuisance for coming guests. Many of the shops restaurants are closed for season in Mousehole but the little post office/shop is open and was handy for forgotten bits and bobs and within easy walking distance as is the Ships Inn which serves good pub food. Would recommend Geevor tin mine on a guided tour as we found that very interesting. Also a trip to Falmouth was good. Some exceptional coast line around that part of Cornwall and Lands End for walking.

“Lovely hoilday home greeted by flowers and cream scones a really nice touch.”

- Mr Hill, September 2018
Mr Piercey July 2018

“The house was very comfortable, we sat on the balcony during the day watching the fishing boats drift bye, we observed two seals on the island basking in the sun.”

The stars at night was so bright and we even saw a couple of shooting stars. The sun rise was spectacular and the skyline at times just blended with the sea, Very restful holiday, we will be back.

- Mr Piercey, July 2018
Mr Reece June 2018

“The refreshments and flowers on arrival were welcoming and much appreciated.”

The accommodation was excellent and well equipped and the views from the balcony were stunning. We really enjoyed our holiday so much.

Mrs Tucker March 2018

“Coat hooks in the hall or laundry room would be good.”

Beautiful house, nice new kitchen, love the open plan layout. We all felt so relaxed. Tasteful and simple furnishings, comfy beds. Daffodils and scones to welcome us! Thank you.

- Mrs Tucker, March 2018
Mr Williams March 2018

“Harbour Lights is a superb property, spendidly situated.”

We have rented it more than a dozen times in the last 20 years, so this is a review of the property rather than Sykes who have only just taken it over. However, the service we received was good.

- Mr Williams, March 2018
Mr Brooking February 2018

“This is a stunning property in a great location!”

Would definitely return!!

Mrs Valcheck October 2017

“We discovered Harbour Lights in 2011 and have been coming from California every year since for extended stays.”

We hope to return for many more years because we enjoy it so much. Situated in the charming fishing village of Mousehole, it has all the ingredients for a great holiday. All the rooms are good size, light and airy with windows and sliding doors providing ever changing views of the sea, Saint Michael's Mount, the Lizard and the hardy fisherman in their boats who brave all weathers. The house and the garden are well maintained. The large balcony/deck provides a fun place to eat outside and further enjoy the views. Parking, which is a much valued commodity in Mousehole, can accomodate 3 cars. The Mousehole Harbour, first class restaurants, cafes and a local shop/Post Office are within a short walk. Our favorite activity is to walk along the beaches and cliffs in the area, but there are a multitude of other family activities to be enjoyed.

- Mrs Valcheck, October 2017
Mr Daldry September 2017

“We loved Harbour Lights, our only criticism would be the bedding, we felt for a higher end property the bedding should have been feather and down and the quality of the sheets/covers/mattress better quality.”

The property

Fabulous sea views from this beautiful and interesting house offering excellent accommodation in the coastal village of Mousehole, South Cornwall.

Just a few yards from the sea and with uninterrupted views of Mounts Bay and Mousehole Island, this house is perfect for a family holiday.

Situated on the edge of this charming village and built into the side of a hill, the top floor boasts a fabulous open plan living area where the whole family can spend some quality time together.

Light and bright the sitting area will tempt you to relax and unwind but first, slide open the patio doors and step onto the balcony and exhale as you take in the fabulous views.

Walk to the modern kitchen area and you will find everything you need to prepare tasty treats.

With its high open beamed ceiling and feature fireplace and chimney this area is the true hub of the house.

The three lovely bedrooms offer plenty of space and sea views with the two bedrooms on the lower ground floor benefitting from the luxury of patio doors leading out onto the terrace, ideal for that early morning coffee.

Bring your binoculars and watch the constant procession of fishing boats and yachts passing by just yards from your front window.

Bursting with original character, charm and beauty, Mousehole is a tiny fishing village with a picturesque harbour surrounded by narrow streets housing art galleries, gift shops and restaurants.

In the harbour itself you will find a safe, sandy beach at low tide.

This is a wonderful place to spend your vacation, however if you wish to tour the area, Penzance is a short drive away, along with Lands End - definitely a photo moment, and the amazing St Michael's Mount or why not pack a Cornish picnic and take in a show at the open air Minack Theatre.

A superb house for making those cherished family moments together.

About the location

MOUSEHOLE

Penzance 4 miles; St Ives 12 miles.

A delightful fishing village nestled on a hillside and spilling down to the shore. The picturesque harbour, surrounded by its maze of winding narrow streets, draws visitors from miles around, while in the distance St Michael's Mount stands proudly in the centre of Mounts Bay. A fabulous coastline and miles of spectacular walking characterise the area, with seabirds, seals and wild headlands leading just around the corner to Land's End. The Minack cliff-top theatre is a few miles along the coast, while reminders of the region's ancient past in the form of Dolmens and standing stones appear everywhere. St Ives, with its stunning beaches, beautiful harbour and narrow winding streets is just 12 miles away.
