With a traditional pub and Cornish restaurant, The Ship Inn offers scenic views out over Mousehole Harbour. Just a 10-minute drive from Penzance, the modern rooms have private bathrooms. Each room at The Ship has a TV and tea and coffee facilities, and many have impressive views towards St Clement’s Isle. All rooms have ample storage space and a cozy sitting area. The on-site pub features original oak beams and open fires with a selection of local ales, including the award-winning St Austell. The restaurant serves a traditional menu using Cornish produce, and a fine wine list is also available. Overlooking the pretty working harbor, Ship Inn is just a short walk from the Penzance Coastal Path. St Michael’s Mount is a 15-minute drive away, and Land’s End can be reached in 20 minutes. St Ives and the Celtic Sea are just 30 minutes away.
