The cosy sitting room with over-sized armchairs is the perfect place to relax between dips in the sea and enjoy the roaring open fire in cooler months; and spills through into a charming, hand-built wooden kitchen with contemporary granite worktops, fully equipped with appliances, utensils and crockery including KitchenAid and Emma Bridgewater.

Very clean with lovely welcoming gifts. Comfortable bed, good storage, well equipped kitchen and excellent bathroom, although the heated towel rail didnât turn on and there is no other heating in the bathroom, so it could be a little chilly.

Our second time staying at this cosy little cottage. Wonderful open fire with plenty of logs left for us for the weekend, comfy bed and large bathroom with roll top bath. We were very grateful for the biscuits, Prosecco and milk left for us, very helpful. We love Mousehole, a very quaint village and pretty harbour. We were also impressed with all eateries in the village. We will be back asap.

The Langely Tarne was an absolutely lovely cottage in Mousehole. We really enjoyed a relaxing "minimoon" there, and my husband and I are looking forward to visiting again sometime soon!
