Default Mice eating young brassicas

I have just taken the fleece off a planting of young cauliflowers and kale which went into the bed about three weeks ago. All the plants have been chewed down to bare stems, and in the middle of the bed is a mouse hole. After a short period of grieving I did some googling and came across the idea of surrounding each young plant with sprigs of holly. As I have another tray of seedlings to go out, I thought I’d try this.
Has anyone had a similar problem, tried holly or found another cunning solution?
