Holanen

A beautiful and relaxing seven days in an enchanting home. The views are to die for. We have been very lazy and eaten out most days and can recommend The Mackerel Sky, Fore Street and The Old Coastguard for an enormous Sunday lunch. The Cormorant boat trip is worthwhile but be prepared for a poignant story from the captain.

Our third visit and as before a wonderful time celebrating our Silver Wedding Anniversary. Thank you to the owners for the "welcome back" bottle of rosé- it didn´t take us long to open it! Many thanks to the Housekeeper too for her part in maintaining this beautiful home.

When we entered your stunning house we were amazed at the fabulous view- the panoramic window brings the ocean into the living space- and we loved it every day. So lucky to see and gaze at the ever-changing scene. An extremely comfortable and delightful way to celebrate our birthdays.

Wow! Oh my goodness- my first reaction when we entered the house, how beautiful, the view is spectacular and the house is stunning, The sunrise on our first morning here took my breath away...heavenly, with sunlight streaming through into the house, just simply wonderful. Thank you to the owners for making this stay a home from home, you had thought of everything.

We have had the most wonderful time here. The place is beautiful and the view is breathtaking. We came here after a few months of more challenging times to relax and unwind and that is exactly what we did. We are already looking forward to returning but very sad to be leaving.

Thank you so much for this incredibly beautiful stay- this place is truly magical! We will miss this view and all the comforts of this amazing home. Thank you once again.

Totally breathtaking when walking into Holanen. Fabulous views and a totally unique homestay. Thank you guys for a truly wonderful and peaceful stay. The Lobster Box delivery was a great recommendation to eat beautiful fresh lobster in such an amazing house. We feel very lucky.

We had the most amazing week in the most stunning home we have ever visited. I will be informing all of our friends that they cannot miss out on this experience. Thank you to the owners for such an amazing stay!

What more can we say that hasn´t been already! Holanen has certainly "ticked all the right boxes" where everything is concerned. Genius design in a beautiful location, such an enchanting view which is ever changing and mesmerising. The attention to detail is faultless- a peaceful and thought provoking haven. A memorable home to spend a special birthday.

Thank you very much for all you have done to create and share such a wonderful retreat. You have thought of everything that could be needed to thoroughly enjoy every moment of our stay. Through sunshine, showers, winds and storms, Holanen has been uplifting, magical and spectacular. Mousehole is now our favourite place in Cornwall. Thank you!

A truly exceptional home with the best views in Mousehole! We have loved staying at Holanen, thank you. Staying here has made this one of our most memorable visits to Cornwall (and there have been many!) It´s hard to leave but we look forward to a return visit before too long.

A magical experience, in a magical village, in a magical setting! The views are amazing and the wildlife abundant. You have renewed our love of Cornwall, we will treasure our visit so much. Thank you.

It´s almost impossible to come up with enough superlatives to describe this house and the experience we have had here! We´ve travelled the world but nothing compares to the splendour of Holanen. The setting, the breathtaking view, the architecture, the furnishings, the many unique details throughout the house... the list goes on. We´ve had an amazing week here, thank you for making it so special.

Perfection; the house the furnishings and above all, the view.Special thanks to the housekeeping team for the spotlessly clean house - no corner was missed! We have had an absolutely wonderful week at Holanen. Thank you!

What an amazing place! Thank you so much, you can never tire of the fantastic views and wonderful scenery. We loved it all and your thoughtful extras were very well received, especially the hamper and the rug (very handy for our trip to the Minack Theatre!) Thank you and we look forward to a return trip soon - Holanen was just what we needed!

We loved spending our honeymoon here. The pictures don´t really do this place justice! It is fabulous; light, airy, modern and homely. The kitchen is so well-equipped which was a bit of a relief as the weather wasn´t ideal for eating out! Thank you for all the effort you have made to make this a perfect holiday home.

We´ve had a wonderful week at this amazing property, a real gem in Cornwall! The views are just incredible even on a rainy, misty day. Holanen gave us everything we were hoping for during our stay; so comfortable, so convenient in the gorgeous Mousehole, and everything has been thought of. We loved reading about the project, the vision, and how Holanen came alive! We hope to be back very soon!

A real treat to come back to Holanene two years after our first visit. The perfect spot and a welcome break. Still perfect - lovely meals and some beautiful coastal walks. Thank you for your flexibility and all the extra work that has gone into making the property Covid safe.

A truly fantastic home with breathtaking views. Our week was a carryover from last year due to the pandemic and it was well worth the wait. The direct views of the sea (and so close!) are just so relaxing to the point we rarely ventured out, instead opting to stay in and enjoy this incredible location.

Wow, wow, wow! Knowing that a break over the new year was likely to bring changeable weather, we hoped that booking Holanen with its magnificent view would make it feel like we were outside enjoying the scenery, even when we couldn´t. It hasn´t disappointed! Every day the scenery changes with the weather. Every hour there is something new to see. A truly magnificent location and a spectacular self-build. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

It takes your breath away when you walk in! I guess you never get used to it, the views are constantly changing. We have had a fabulous week enjoying your lovely design. We loved it so much, we´re coming back next year!

Thank you for a memorable stay in your lovely home, the views are so breathtaking it will be difficult to ever forget. We loved the open space and the various relaxation options both within and outside the walls of the house. We will miss hearing the sounds of the ocean in the morning and trying to spot the seals! Thank you for all the recommendations on where to visit and for the very warm welcome to Holanen.
