A window into the latest goings on here at The Old Coastguard in Mousehole and across the broader EATDRINKSLEEP.
Items we’d really like you to know about, including the revolving Sleepover Offers for those planning to stay, details of upcoming events & live music, and items of interest to the people who live in and around the village.

Next Art Exhibition
“Horizon” by Laura Terry & Ceri Shaw
27 April – 29 June 2025
An oil painter (Laura) and ceramicist (Ceri) with contrasting works and differing practices, but both with the same inspiration: Sweeping skies, long beaches, and that distant line that lies between them.
Meet the Artist: 10 May (10.30 – 11.30am), no need to book
The Winter Escape: also available Fridays & Saturdays
2 November 2025 – 2 April 2026
Our distance from meaningful population is a beautiful thing. But it sometimes leaves us a few rooms short of a full house at the weekend. So, new for 2025, our Winter Escape offer (previously only Sunday – Thursday) is in place on Fridays and Saturdays as well.


Music Festival:
“Ale & Anchor”
Friday 20 to Sunday 22 June 2025
Our biennial (sometimes annual) music & real ale festival returns on the lawns overlooking Mounts’ Bay. A full weekend of village fun with our favourite local bands (including The Odd Folk) and the best juice from the local breweries. Entry free.
Find us on the Gram. And on The Facebook.
If you’d like to see more stories, posts & reels (?!) of daily life here at The Old Coastguard, do follow us via our social media channels. Our content tends to be organic and on-the-fly but is intended to keep you most up to date (for example how the fickle Mousehole weather is affecting the open/closed status of The Crab Shack). And so we make no apologies for any aesthetic shortcomings.
