Pretty as a picture Pilotâs Cottage is located in the heart of Mousehole and a hop, skip and jump from the bustling harbour with its small sandy beach. This stunning dog-friendly cottage is simply charming and a little quirky and offers a wonderful seaside escape. Pilots Cottage sits on Brook Street opposite a gorgeous gallery and is reached via a little cobbled lane.
Pilot's Cottage has so much charm and character throughout and part of this charm are two staircases to either side of the covered passageway giving access to the dining room and living room respectively (feel free to call us if this sounds confusing!) This little cutie is perfect for a family, two couples or an intimate love nest for two and has recently been lovingly refurbished to offer a chic and cosy bolthole for four lucky guests.
Access for you on arrival is via the kitchen door which leads you into the dining room with the adjoining galley kitchen
The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need to create those fabulous holiday breakfasts or lazy evening suppers. Plan your days out whilst gathering to enjoy delicious food; the stable-door can be opened wide on balmy summer evenings.
The sitting-room is made for chilling out and spending time together, a roaring wood-burner means that you will always be warm and toasty, and the super-comfy sofas are perfect for snuggling up and indulging in your favourite movies.
Heading up the stairs you will find two bedrooms both furnished with wonderfully comfy beds and crisp white linens - you are guaranteed a relaxing night's slumber at Pilots Cottage. The contemporary family shower room is also located on this floor, with a large walk in rainfall shower.
Outside the property there is a courtyard area with a sweet little bench, where you can enjoy a morning coffee in the sunshine or a cocktail before heading into Mousehole for a bite to eat.
Pilots Cottage is a wonderful blend of old and new with all mod-cons taken care of within the stylish interior.
