Mousehole is the most stylish place to live in Cornwall, according to a new survey published this week - with Falmouth coming in third place.
The fishing village was the highest rated location in the county in a list of the 60 most stylish places by online store Furniturebox.
In second place in Cornwall was the Lizard, Falmouth was third, Polperro was fourth and Port Isaac was fifth.
Locations were ranked according to the beauty of the buildings, the stunning scenery, how ‘Instagrammable’ were the best features and their popularity as a filming location.
Furniturebox polled 5,000 people, with panels in each big city and county including Cornwall.
Countless film and TV productions have been filmed in Mousehole including Poldark and the Onedin Line.
Mousehole was 16th on the main national list, which was won by Grassington in North Yorkshire where the hit TV drama All Creatures Great and Small is filmed.
A tourism hot spot, Mousehole is centred around its historic harbour which is surrounded by yellow lichened houses, built from locally mined Lamorna granite.
Mousehole was described as the loveliest village in England by the poet Dylan Thomas.
A Furniturebox spokesperson said: “Mousehole is the most stylish place to live in Cornwall.
“All 60 places on the list would have been worthy winners and show why the UK is such a stylish country, loved by artists, film-makers and tourists from all over the world.
“What is interesting is how influential Instagram has become in boosting tourism in many of our top 60, particularly around Cornwall. It is a massive help for visitor numbers, too, if a popular film or TV show uses a town or village as a location.
“Most of the locations in the top 60 are not the most affluent or fashionable in their localities. It shows that style can be achieved whatever your budget - and that is very true of furniture.”
