Near Penzance, Cornwall, in the South West of England, The Langley Tarne is a charming cottage retreat for two in the picturesque fishing village of Mousehole. The cottage, originally a sail loft, features stripped wooden floorboards, sash windows, an open fireplace, oversized armchairs, and a claw foot roll-top bath for two, creating a perfect setting for a romantic escape. Mousehole, located 3 miles west of Penzance, is a quintessential seaside village with narrow streets, stone cottages, galleries, gift shops, and restaurants along the harbour front. At low tide, a safe sandy beach can be found within the harbour walls, with other nearby beaches including Porthcurno, Penzance Promenade beach, and Lamorna Cove. Dog-friendly beaches like Salt Ponds and Roskilly are also nearby.
Visitors can enjoy scenic coastal walks by heading up the hill from Mousehole, where 300 miles of beautiful coastline awaits. Each season offers its own unique charm, from springtime wildflowers and bluebells to the dramatic winter waves crashing against granite rocks in the Cornish sea. The village is easily accessible by a short scenic bus ride from Penzance train station, with buses running every 20 minutes. Parking is available at the quayside car park a few minutes' walk away, as well as at the village entrance and on the approach to the village.
