Renowned throughout Cornwall and beyond, between Land's End and Penzance, lies The Cornish Range, a popular seafood restaurant/bar with rooms. Tucked away in a back lane of the fishing village of Mousehole, this delightful establishment offers three 4 star, spacious and contemporary en-suite bedrooms, Pender - named after Jack Pender, the famous Mousehole artist, whose studio this room used to be, Ambrose - named after Ambrose Ruffigniac, who as a boy in the late nineteenth century was a model for the then Newlyn based artist Henry Scott Tuke and the 3^rd bedroom Tuke - named after the famous artist Henry Scott Tuke, who lived and worked in and around Newlyn for some time.

The accommodation provides an ideal base to explore this historic part of the country. Brightly modernised behind its sturdy stone exterior, it is owned and run by friendly couple Tiffany and Keith Terry. Keith has been a professional chef for 20 years, and his dishes combine classic skills with imaginative touches gaining the restaurant a 2 Rosette Rating. Dishes are created using local ingredients - fresh fish landed and delivered daily from the port of Newlyn, meat from local hill farms, Cornish vegetables and salads and the finest West Country cheeses.

Typical choices from the lunchtime menu include: smoked haddock & crab fishcakes with poached egg & lemon hollandaise; grilled salmon fillet with a warm pepper, courgette & tomato salad, basil & lemon dressing and pan fried fillet steak with Cornish brie & rocket, served in a filo basket with red onion marmalade.
