Staff, bedroom and location spot on. Team were warm and welcoming and room and en-suite clean and spacious, we had a harbour view and was lovely to wake up and see the sea! The bar was great and full of locals and fab to have a live band too! The only negative for us was the dining area needed a refurb

Tiny town with even tinier roads. We initially missed the car park closest to the inn and had to drive out and around to come back down into town. However once we parked we were directly across the Harbour from the inn. Everyone was friendly. Our room had a great view of the Harbour right out the window. The room was clean and comfortable, however the room was definitely not well sound proofed. I think it was the saloon door to the kitchen that could be heard from our room every time someone went in and out of it. Other than that, it was a great stay. Food was good, we enjoyed the breakfast options and the surrounding areas was very cute. We would stay again, but maybe bring our ear plugs ;)

The ONLY place to stay in this part of Cornwall!
The ONLY place to stay in this part of Cornwall! On the waterfront, literally, sunset and sunrise from your bed - both incredible in mid October. Wonderful, warm, fun and kind staff. Superb pub quiz. Delicious breakfast and supper. Super dog friendly. Heavenly comfy bed.

This is the third time we've stayed here and, as always, a truly terrific holiday! Everyone is super-friendly (and super-efficient)! The Ship Inn is cosy and quirky and has almost as many (well-behaved and on leads) dogs as customers in the bar! Beer and cider top-notch and the food is great. Thanks, everyone!! Mousehole is a beautiful place and we never bother to bring the car as there's a bus to Penzance about every 20 mins and from there the world's your oyster! You really should go to The Ship Inn and Mousehole!

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Amazing location. Super room BUT the shower flooded and we had to clean up to prevent a disaster! Flustered member of staff made us wait to check in but otherwise faultless. Really enjoyed quiz night.
