Mousehole (pronounced “Mowzel”) is often described as the loveliest village in England. It is a maze of narrow, winding streets and granite cottages huddled around a picture-perfect harbour. Accommodation here is intimate and characterful; think fishermen’s lofts converted into luxury boltholes and historic inns where the waves crash against the sea wall just feet from your window.
Mousehole may be a tiny fishing village, but its culinary reputation punches well above its weight. The harbour, with its narrow entrance and bobbing boats, provides the backdrop for some of West Cornwall’s most loved dining spots. The food here is heavily influenced by the daily catch landed just down the road in Newlyn, meaning the seafood is as fresh as it gets.
Marazion is the oldest town in Cornwall and arguably one of the most scenic. While it is best known as the gateway to St Michael’s Mount, the town itself offers a blend of soft sandy beaches, an internationally renowned art scene, and a protected wetland that rivals any in the UK.

Dining at Land’s End is all about the view. Situated at the extreme south-westerly point of the British Isles, the food scene here is dominated by dramatic seascapes.

While the Land’s End landmark itself has specific eateries, some of the best culinary experiences are found just a short coastal walk away in Sennen Cove.

From 16th-century castles to luxury tents on the water’s edge, here is our curated guide to sleeping on the islands.
