Old, quaint and charming. We six- footers must beware of the low ceilings. Good food, nice bar, quiet and comfortable rooms.
The location was perfect, i was doing tje SWCP and couldnt stay in a better place. The staff were friendly, the room was of a good size with amenities and tea/coffe, the food at the restaurant was also very good.
Warm reception and kind attentive staff throughout our stay. Dinner and breakfast both high quality cooking. Room had considerate touches like a coffee pod machine and a nightlight in the en-suite so you didn’t have the fan turn on in the night if you spent a penny. Lovely view out over harbour to sea.
I was very pleased with the accommodation and politeness of staff. Had an issue with payment because the card I booked with was out of date, so manager had to contact Expedia to clear payment with the new replacement card. I was out of internet contact, so the mix-up was a bit daunting. Entirely my fault though, and staff were very kind.
Had a lovely stay at the ship inn. Room was spotless and overlooking the harbour, staff were friendly and helpful. There was also a lot of choice for breakfast and would highly recommend to anyone staying.

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
Beautifully preserved, wonderfully updated. Mousehole quaint and comfortable. Staff quiet accommodating when we needed to make changes. Food brilliant.

Great location, good food and nice staff. Just very noisy due to the thin walls
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.
