I have no hesitation in recommending this little cottage in the heart of Mousehole. I have been holidaying in Mousehole for many years, usually in a larger cottage with a sea view, but Kitchen Cottage has outside space which is very rare in Mousehole and takes just seconds to walk to the harbour so in my view this was much better. You access the little courtyard to enter the cottage so there is a door sized opening next to a trellace, i have a little shih tzu so i just placed an empty suitcase across the gap whilst we were out there although i appreciate this may not work for bigger dogs but the owner has kindly installed a metal ring on the outside wall where you can attach your dog via a lead which is very thoughtful. The cottage was equipped perfectly and the owner clearly takes her guests comfort and needs into account. There was ample good quality crockery so we able to make good and economical use of the dishwasher. The towels were welcome too as i usually had to bring my own even when paying considerably more. I have a back condition and always worry about the comfort of beds when i go away, i needn't have worried as the beds were super comfy and the double bed didn't give me any problems at all unlike other places i've stayed which cost considerably more. The cottage is bright and clean and whilst small it was ample for 3 adults, my 3 yr old grandson and my little dog. The shower was great too and powerful and i didn't find having just the one loo an issue. Mousehole itself is my little home from home and whilst some may find parking an issue, we came on the train and used the little buses and you can buy a bus pass in advance which is reasonable and keep the costs down. They run very regular too in season. Yes dogs aren't allowed on the beaches but there is a nice little walk along the top of the beach which is a favourite for dog walkers, also longrock isn't far down the coast to give your dogs a run on the sand and you can walk up the hill at the back of Mousehole to the countryside. Dogs are welcome in all the little shops and galleries, pubs and most restaurants so i don't understand other reviewers saying its not dog friendly. All in all i loved this cottage and will be returning next year as i think this is going to be our new go to holiday cottage so thank you so much for providing the perfect base to make our holiday a happy and excellent one plus we had amazing weather too for mid September! We loved it!
