“The Oyster Catcher” is a weather-beaten seaside cottage retreat located in Mousehole, a village and fishing port in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Nestled on the harbor’s edge, this luxury coastal holiday home has foundations dating back to the early 1600s, with much of its history shared with the Cornish fishing industry.
The structure’s former functions include an integral workshop, net loft, and ‘pilchard palace’.

In the wintertime, this cozy space can be enjoyed with a wood-burning fireplace crackling away. On cool evenings, soak in the bathroom’s clawfoot tub before winding down in one of the two ground-level bedrooms.
