Skipper’s and The Old Stores are in the centre of the beautiful village of Mousehole on the South West coast of Cornwall, 2 miles from Penzance and 10 miles from St Ives.
Slate roofed, yellow-lichened stone cottages circle the clear blue harbour, while the narrow streets are lined with cafés, restaurants, shops and art galleries. It’s the perfect base for exploring West Cornwall, with Penzance, Newlyn and St Ives on your doorstep. Falmouth, Padstow and Newquay are all within an hours’ drive.
The Cornish village of Mousehole was described by Dylan Thomas as ‘the loveliest village in England’ and we can’t help but agree.
Our nearest train station is Penzance which has a direct service to London. Our closest airport is Newquay (50 minutes drive) with flights from Gatwick, Stanstead and other regional airports. Penzance’s heliport accepts private helicopters.
We know that often the last thing you have time for is making travel arrangements so our Boutique Retreats concierge service can organise these on your behalf including car hire, eco car hire and drop-off and pick-up from the airport, train station and heliport.
