The Ship Inn, Mousehole

Apart from agreeing with mim and wishing to point out to halfbee that actually, you don't know what you're talking out (like me to put it in Cornish perhaps or would that perplex you even more? Oh and by the way, tourism actually accounts for 25% of Cornwall's GDP as opposed to 99% but let's not split hairs over percentage eh), I just wanted to post an up-to-date, truthful account of The Ship Inn, from a local perspective. I come from Newlyn so I know The Ship Inn very well, but I have to say that the service and food have changed from being very good to frankly appalling.

We visited for lunch on Saturday and were served lousy food, the staff were miserable as sin and my partner found the floor of the gents' toilets to be soaked in urine from the Friday night before, which they obviously hadn't bothered to clean.

If any tourists are reading this and wondering if The Ship might be a nice place to stay whilst in Penwith, take some advice from a local, DON'T. Don't stay there and don't eat there, for your own sake.
