THE WHARF

MOUSEHOLE

A richly historic granite building dating back to the 17th century, The Wharf originally served as a boat builder’s workshop and net loft. Then, at the turn of the 20th century, when the local pilchard industry began to wane and West Cornwall was emerging as a leading art colony, it was converted into an artist’s studio for the nearby Newlyn School of Art. The old studio skylight, carefully placed to catch the clear northern light, is still in place in the living room at The Wharf a hundred years later.

Today, The Wharf is a unique and distinctively designed holiday let that has recently been restored to the highest standards by a team of local artisans and craftsmen. The rooms have been furnished to a high spec, with digital radios, luxurious linens and underfloor heating in the bathroom, and accented with select pieces of art and design.
