THIS PAST YEAR we’ve introduced you to some beautiful places to stay, from a chic one-bedroom seaside apartment in Trouville-sur-Mer to a family-run B&B in Tuscany; a private nature reserve in South Africa, and even a remote Airbnb in Tasmania. Today, we whisk you away to this charming weather-beaten fisherman’s cottage in Mousehole, Cornwall. With foundations dating back to the early 1600s, The Oyster Catcher shares much of its history with the Cornish fishing industry. With a neutral palette of white-washed walls, exposed ceiling beams, overstuffed linen sofa and armchairs, this cosy cottage overlooks the harbour, where you can watch boats drift slowly by. There’s also a woodburner stove for cosy winter nights and a clawfoot tub to sink into. This Grade-II listed former net loft is owned by the photographer Paul Massey and is available for rent.
