TREZEAL, NEAR MOUSEHOLE

Trezeal is a delightful two-bedroom granite cottage full of character with stylish interiors flowing out to the stunning Mediterranean gardens with plenty of private sitting areas and a fire pit for alfresco summer nights. It's perfectly situated for exploring West Cornwall with Mousehole, Sennen, Marazion and St Ives all in easy reach.

Walking in from the front garden the living room is a bright space with a large squidgy Loaf sofa and wood burner, perfect for cosy evenings all year round. When the weather sets in, there’s no place better to snuggle up with a glass of wine and a good book by the fire.

Through to the hand-built kitchen you catch the views across the open countryside and it’s a cook’s delight with the large Smeg Range cooker. The dining area is bespoke and is a great spot for memorable meals.

Upstairs the two lovely bedrooms both have VI-spring pocket sprung mattresses which are sure to give you a good nights rest. One is a king size and the other one a super king that can be made up as twins, you choose. The rear bedroom has glorious views down to the sea in the distance which you can enjoy from the window seat which has a fully opening window bringing the outside in.

Heading outside, the enchanting garden features tropical and Mediterranean planting with a large dining table for eating out and a fire pit for story telling as the sun goes down. It’s a great place for lazing about and after sunset, you can do some serious stargazing across Cornwall’s famed dark skies. 

LOCATION

Trezeal is situated in a small hamlet called Sheffield set above the coast in lovely countryside a mile or so from Newlyn and Mousehole. The idyllic village of Paul, on the way to Mousehole is within walking distance and there is a great local pub there, The Kings Arms, just remember your torch if coming back late. Mousehole is Cornwall at its absolute best and it's a popular destination. It’s obvious to see why with the prettiest of harbours and excellent restaurants, tea shops, pubs and galleries tucked away down its higgledy-piggledy lanes.

You’re in the heart of far west of Cornwall at Trezeal and being well located, with private parking and a well-served local bus stop nearby, it's easy to explore.

Things are different here, we're surrounded on three sides by the sea, and it has a strong influence on our lives. We are spoilt for beaches. Sennen Cove with its glorious surfing, Marazion overlooking St Michaels Mount and Porthcurno with the iconic Minack Theatre built into the cliffs are all within easy reach. The working fishing harbour of Newlyn and bustling town of Penzance are less than 10 minutes’ drive away. Slightly further is St Ives, home to the Tate St Ives Gallery, the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden, several fantastic beaches and plenty of shops and restaurants. It’s well worth a visit and we recommend taking the little train from St Erth, which travels along the coast right into the town. It’s breath-taking.

WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING...

“We had a great week staying in this cozy cottage. The location was great for day trips around south Cornwall and we found the walk to Mousehole simple enough, although a bit of an uphill walk back. Very dog friendly and a lovely place to hide out when the weather was bad. Would highly recommend!”

Katie – September 2025

“This was our 2nd stay at this lovely little cottage, we returned because it's fab! We love the location and the fact it has parking, it's ideal for exploring and days out. Equally it's great for a walk down to Mousehole and the local pub The King's Arms. The beds are comfy, it feels homely and I'm quite sure we shall return again. We had the pleasure on this visit of running into the owner and the absolutely lovely housekeeper. We highly recommend this cottage and The Cornish way, 2 thumbs up!”
