Driftwood is a quaint small cottage right in the middle of Mousehole. We loved the little village, location and views. The cottage was great for the week we stayed, it was a good base for us to really explore west Cornwall. The downsides were no parking at the cottage, paid parking in a carpark a little walk away. The garden is small and overlookedRead more by neighbours on both sides. Overall a nice little holiday cottage. Hide

The cottage was ideally situated, being only a stones throw from the harbour and having beautiful views from both the main bedroom and the lovely little garden. It was very comfortable and well equipped. The bus stop was only a minute away and the bus service was fantastic.

Excellent location, buses in the week every 15mins and half an hour weekend. People really friendly, especially the neighbours. Would recommend the Deli for breakfast and dinner ,also the Fisherman Arms in Newlyn and also the fish bar .
