Welcome to The Old Coastguard: A Seaside Retreat in Mousehole

Nestled in the heart of Mousehole, a charming fishing village in West Cornwall, The Old Coastguard is your perfect seaside escape. Located near Cornwall’s beautiful beaches, tropical gardens, and cultural landmarks like the Minack Theatre, Newlyn’s artists’ studios, and St. Ives, our hotel offers both relaxation and adventure.

Coastal Comfort and Stunning Views

Our fourteen thoughtfully designed bedrooms offer a blend of comfort and charm, with most rooms boasting breathtaking views of the Cornish coast, overlooking St. Michael’s Mount and The Lizard Peninsula. Wake up to the sights and sounds of the sea in a peaceful atmosphere.

Dine with a View

Our dining room and outdoor terrace sit above a lush tropical garden that slopes gently toward the harbour wall. Enjoy fresh, seasonal dishes inspired by the coastal landscape. Our kitchen team creates simple yet delicious meals that reflect the rhythms of Cornwall, ensuring each bite tells a local story.

Embrace the Slower Pace of Life

Since arriving in West Penwith in 2006, we’ve embraced its slower, more peaceful way of life. At The Old Coastguard, we invite our guests to retreat from the hustle of everyday life. Sleep soundly in our cozy beds, unwind with a drink, and enjoy meals crafted with care and local produce.

A Community Hub

We aim to be more than just a hotel—we’re part of the local community. Our beer and drink prices are set to be fair for our regular local customers, not just incoming tourists.

Open All Year Round

We’re open every day, all year, welcoming friends, families, children, and even dog-friendly stays. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a long holiday, we’re here to ensure your Cornwall travel experience is memorable.
