"It’s a pretty little cottage in a good location. The parking is slightly difficult but there are car parks near by. The house had a slightly musty smell downstairs. There are way too many trinkets about and the middle bedroom is pretty small it has a double bed but there is very little space around it. The showers are pretty bad with very little pressure. I was surprised that we had to strip our own beds at the end of our stay. There are some excellent fish restaurants in Mousehole and the village is very pretty"
