The Lookout is a lovely place to stay, it has lovely sea views and has a really nice feel to it. The only downside is the parking which is a difficult anywhere in Mousehole!! The harbour car park is very busy so it is best to try and park on the road.

Very comfortable Bay Fronted Victorian semi overlooking the harbour in Mousehole.. The views from the windows were an absolute joy. Mousehole itself, a maze of little alley ways and narrow streets - charming. Good access to the coastal footpath and other lovely walks and an easy 15 minute drive into Penzance. The house a joy to return to at the end of a day walking the coast path - or in the case of the younger members of the group - rock climbing; surfing; cycling... Lots of interest in the area -Tremenheere sculpture garden, Newlyn School at Penlee House in Penzance; St. Michael's Mount, Lamorna Cove - and much more. HOWEVER - the cottage details were not clear about the lack of vehicular access - my husband has a heart condition - and we would have appreciated advance notice about the hill/flights of steps up to the cottage. We might not have chosen this property had we known about the access which exacerbated his angina. Also the details in the cottage were not very clear about the recycling - Is it only glass? Surely not? (Apologies to the housekeeper for not emptying the recycling box which we left rather full of glass - I'd assumed the waste collection would be a day late due to the bank holiday - it wasn't!) But - despite the access - our three generational family group had a lovely holiday - Thank You The Lookout

We really enjoyed our stay in the Lookout.. It is a very tastefully furnished house, well equipped and decorated with an eye for the detail. The view from the front rooms is spectacular! The house is a little older but very clean and Georgina, the housekeeper, and her husband are really friendly and supportive. It should be mentioned, though, that the house can‘t be reached by car at all. You have to carry all your luggage and the shopping up a steep and narrow little lane, which is a little tedious. We found parking quite difficult as well. We drive a rather large car and so we ended up parking the car well out of Mousehole up the hill most evenings. So more specific information in advance on these two aspects would be helpful and fair. Nevertheless, we would book the house again, since we really felt at home there. We think it is a pity that the garden is not in a better condition, though. It would be a really lovely place to sit. The lower lock of the front door blocks, so on our arrival it took us more than half an hour to open the door, which was not a pleasant experience after a long journey. We called ALL the numbers provided by Sykes (including the one of the local property manager), but couldn‘t reach anybody. So for about half an hour we were quite worried that we wouldn‘t have a place to stay the night. In the end we managed to turn the key, but we really think that lock should be changed. The house also provides a washing machine, which isn‘t mentioned in the description of the property. So that was a pleasant surprise.

Wonderful views and a great base to explore the Southwest of Cornwall.. Although the property was clean and a good size, the main draw back was the parking. The property advertised "Parking is at the car park within a few minutes walk" and of note "Shop, pub and beach 10 minutes walk". The car park described is actually further away from the property than "the pub, beach and shop" so I fail to see how this journey is magically shortened. Perhaps the joy of being able to smell the sea air robs us of our sense of distance and time? The advert also fails to mention that parking can be difficult (along the pier) and there is a £3/day cost. A minor cost you may say but certainly coin grabbing - no parking meters in the area have launched themselves into the 21st century and accept card payments or notes. This property is not designed for those with mobility issues , but Mousehole isn't either. Despite this negative note, my family and I had a wonderful time in Cornwall.

The cottage was lots bigger than we expected and so well equipped.. The photos don't do it justice! It was beautiful and a lovely place to have as a base and wonderful to have the views and garden to sit in. The best cottage we've had in Mousehole, and believe me, we've stayed in a few!

Couldn't find a mention of the washing machine anywhere, so didn't know there was one in the cottage, in a shed outside.. .! Other than that we had a wonderful time, nice and warm when we arrived too, made for a perfect autumn holiday. Wonderful views across the harbour, fantastic...
