This was our first holiday cottage in Mousehole and what a property! Spectacular sea views to St Michael's Mount from most of the rooms as well as the terrace and gardens.

Perhaps the finest Mousehole holiday cottage available, Dolphin Rise is set into the hillside above the town with a spectacular split level main living area with a huge picture window giving a glorious view over the harbour and out to sea. The sunken lounge has plenty of comfortable seating and is arranged so that the view can be enjoyed by everyone, steps lead up to the dining room which is on a raised level above the lounge and has a glass balcony for uninterrupted views. The kitchen is galley style above the dining room with eye level electric oven and hob, built in microwave, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer.

The Master Bedroom now has a large picture window on the front of the house so you can breakfast in bed and gaze out to sea. It also has a new en-suite bathroom with shower, wc and basin and door leading out to the garden. The other bedrooms are arranged as one king, one double and two twins. The family bathroom has a bath, separate shower cubicle and basin, with a separate WC next door. There is a further shower room and separate WC near the front door.

The cottage was lovely, amazing views but we all struggled getting up & down to Mousehole, we are in our 70s and thought we were fit.

Loved our stay. Enjoyed relaxing and watching the boats in the bay and harbour from various windows. Having an EV charger made life easy. The last couple of lanes are lined with hedges etc and just wider than an average car in places so might not be great if you have a wide car. If you have a dog then note that the patio is enclosed but the garden Read moreis not. Lovely (but narrow/uneven) path to the village next to a stream from the end of the lane that's easy to miss.

We had a wonderful time at Dolphin Rise. Amazing views and spacious. A lovely cottage to spend the day in or come back to after a day exploring Cornwall. Thank you.

Spacious comfortable property with fantastic views. Easy walking distance to the harbour in Mousehole and loved exploring the various winding routes. The layout of the property is unusual but works so well. I think the best property we have stayed at in the six years we have been visiting Cornwall annually as three family generations.

Unbelievable views of St Micheals Mount, Mousehole and St Clements island where we saw Seals every day. A must to bring your own binoculars. Steep path to Mousehole only for hardy walkers. Entrance to Love Lane and driveway very narrow.

Undoubtedly the best holiday property we have stayed in. The location is incredible and the views are amazing. Dolphins Rise is comfortable, spacious and well- equipped. Mousehole is a charming village, and within easy reach of Marazion and St Ives, both of which are worth visiting. Thank you for letting us stay!

Fantastic house in an amazing location. Comfy rooms with everything you could want well stocked kitchen. And very useful utility if you have wet gear to dry out outside the main house.. binoculars provided to watch the passing boats. Lots of footpaths and great walks right from the house. Lovely stroll down a woody exotic tropical path beside aRead more stream to Mousehole centre.. easy parking for cars which was a real bonus in an area with very limited parking.. This house is not suitable for disabled people as there are lots of steps. Hide
