We’ve just returned from our first holiday in 2020 – one night away in a lovely hotel, The Old Coastguard Hotel in Mousehole. We started with drinks on the lawn watching the boats go by, followed with a Minack theatre experience in the evening and after a splendid breakfast, a walk around Mousehole and then lunch and a walk around the sculpture gardens at Tremenheere. A perfect mini break! Join us in seeing some of these treats in the gallery. Click on any photo for the detail.

Wish you could have been with us. We didn’t like the play but just being at the Minack is brilliant and one day we will take you there! 🙂

Mousehole is such a beautiful village, I had been impressed with it too , years ago. Certainly worth a visit and a mini break.

You really don’t need to go out of Cornwall for a holiday. Shame it has been so foggy.

We were lucky, beautiful weather both afternoons after misty starts. As we drove home the mist became fog and friends tell me that the fog sat around for both days on the North coast of Cornwall. Hope you saw some sun. 🙂

Thick fog up here from late Tuesday afternoon until late last night. Cloudy this morning, but hopefully the sun will break through.
