{"list_short_description":null,"desc":"Located in the heart of Mousehole Janies Cottage (former home of Janie Pender) is a Cornish bolt hole perfect for couples and small families. Tucked away on a peaceful little row of granite cottages, you are a pebble's throw from all that Mousehole has to offer, including great restaurants such as “2 Fore Street” and the harbour itself with lovely sandy beaches and quaint little shops. Janies cottage feels like a home away from home and is very atmospheric and peaceful.
\n
\nThis beautifully renovated traditional cottage is set over 2 floors, with 3 bedrooms and one bathroom. The primary bedroom has a king-size bed, bedroom two has two singles and the 3rd also a single bed.
\n
\nThe cottage is fully equipped for dining in around the big wooden table in the kitchen diner but is also well located for eating out every day as you’re really spoiled for choice in Mousehole.
\n
\nThere is no Garden at Janies sadly but her front steps make a great spot to sit and have a coffee first thing as the sun peeps though the rooftops. At the end of the day make sure you cosy up in front of the log burner with a good book or enjoy a film on the smart TV. Janie’s caters for younger children as well, a high chair and travel cot are included as well as a range of books and toys.
\nIf you want to travel further afield by car St Ives is 10 miles away where you will find all sorts of activities and places to eat. For the ultimate experience head to the Minack Open Air Theatre at Porthcurnow and take in one of the fantastic shows.
