Which meant when lying down, you end up sitting on the plug and releasing it. The shower was adjustable, but due to the height of the ceiling, it was set as high as it would go, which was still a little low for me (I'm 5' 8" tall). I dislike plastic shower curtains, as they stick to you during a shower but I know this is a personal thing. The upstairs neighbours were a little noisy - I think there's a child or children up there and they were jumping around causing some disturbance later in the evenings and early in the mornings. The bedroom window refused to open during our stay. I know that if I'd reported this to Simon he would have fixed it but I didn't feel it was urgent so I left him a note separately for this. We also contacted Simon midway through our stay as we were unable to open the front door once on returning after a day out. He text me back straight away and arrived half an hour later to fix the problem. Overall we had a really great enjoyable and relaxing stay. We appreciate everything Simon & Nanette did to make our stay a really pleasant one and will recommend this cottage to others.

“Amazing accomadation, set in a little harbour.”

Close to other great places, ie St Ives. The accomadation was clean, with all the facilities one could possible want. Myself and my wife will most definitely use Sykes again. And we will be visiting mousehole again.

“Wonderful holiday!”

Cottage was beautiful, quirky and extremely comfortable. Perfect spot for access to the harbour and it’s amenities. We were celebrating our silver wedding and couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend it!

“The cottage was dark and I felt it had a dampness, and musty smell.”

The outside space was poorly kept. Not a comfortable stay.

- Ms Wheatley, July 2020

Thank you very much for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you didn’t have a comfortable stay and we’ve discussed your comments with the owner. Having done so we’d like to reassure guests that the cottage is free of damp. As can be seen from the other feedback and reviews received, Amarrah is highly praised with visitors commenting on comfort, facilities and cleanliness. We’re sorry that you don’t seem to have had a good stay on this occasion and we hope that your next trip to Cornwall will be more successful. Owner relations

“We had a really good experience at Amarrah and Mousehole.”

Very pleased. There was lots to do - the weather was interesting especially on the cliff/coastal walks. Seals galore - Cormorant boat trip with Mike Collier absolutely brilliant, not only seeing more seals, but we also got to witness a gannet frenzy.

“The cottage & location were great & lovely place for a week of relaxation.”

I would recommend a stay to anyone. Parking in February was ok, we managed to get a space on the road in to the village which was free of charge. The main carpark on the entrance to the village is £9 / per24hr & I can imagine that this would be your only option for parking in the busier seasons, and then only if a space is available.

- Mr Davies, February 2020

Thank you very much for your feedback, we’re really thrilled to hear you had such a great stay and enjoyed the cottage. The owners have been in touch and asked us to thank you for taking the time to comment. They’re pleased to hear you enjoyed your holiday and have asked us to mention that in their experience, although car parking in the 6 main weeks of the summer can be slightly more challenging over 95% of their guests have reported being able to park in the harbourside car park. This car park is £3 for 24 hours and only a 1 minute walk from the cottage. The larger car park (even if more expensive) however is a great back up! Owner relations

“Wow!!!!”

Previous reviews have said it all. Quite simply 5 star. Grateful for all the extra touches. If coming to Mousehole don't bother looking any where else. Communications prior to arrival were excellent.

“A stunning retreat home from home”

Our second visit to Amarrah and It was just as we remembered. Harbour views, luxurious with such attention to details. You go through the hall into the main living space with comfort sofas, wooden flooring lots of great decor. Large open kitchen overlooking the harbour through the houses. A double bath with complimentary bath robes, beautiful bedroom with Avery comfortable bed! WiFi, coffee machine great welcome pack. Lots to see in Mousehole, check out the Minack and Sennen Co e. The hosts at Amarrah have thought of everything to make your stay very special. Highly recommended. Parking. There are car parks on the harbour or up the road however for a couple of minutes walk you can park for free on the road as you come into Mousehole. Cash machine. In the post office/shop they provide a cash back service.

“The perfect cosy cottage for us”

A couple of nit-picking negatives before I describe the wealth of positives about this superb property. It does have a harbour view from the very pleasant outdoor decked area; however it is quite a narrow view between the two adjacent properties and can be obscured if the neighbour hangs out their washing to dry.....fortunately this only occurred once during our one-week stay. The ONLY other thing that might bother some guests is the very occasional, very moderate noise we heard from the property above but this did not bother us at all. Now the many positives. Nanette communicated brilliantly with us both before and during our stay; this was very much appreciated. The property is absolutely delightful. It is very spacious, extremely comfortable, clean and well equipped. All the furnishings are tasteful. The welcome pack was exceptionally good and really impressed us. We absolutely loved the luxury of having nice fluffy bath robes provided and the supplied toiletries were all lovely. The bed was as comfortable as anything we have ever slept in. We loved having the luxury of having a big sofa each to lounge on in the evenings. The location is fantastic; literally a 30 second walk from the front door takes you to the charm of Mousehole's beautiful, quaint harbour. We totally fell in love with Mousehole and Amarrah; both are beautiful and we feel very privileged to have stayed at both. Enormous thanks Nanette for making our stay such a wonderful experience.

About the location

MOUSEHOLE

Penzance 4 miles; St Ives 12 miles.

A delightful fishing village nestled on a hillside and spilling down to the shore. The picturesque harbour, surrounded by its maze of winding narrow streets, draws visitors from miles around, while in the distance St Michael's Mount stands proudly in the centre of Mounts Bay. A fabulous coastline and miles of spectacular walking characterise the area, with seabirds, seals and wild headlands leading just around the corner to Land's End. The Minack cliff-top theatre is a few miles along the coast, while reminders of the region's ancient past in the form of Dolmens and standing stones appear everywhere. St Ives, with its stunning beaches, beautiful harbour and narrow winding streets is just 12 miles away.

Note: Maximum of two adults and one baby.
