12th October 2024:

Our stay at the Old Pilchard Works in Mousehole was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The location is ideally situated, within a stones throw of the heart of the village. The atmosphere is serene and welcoming. What truly made our experience unforgettable, though, was the incredible team. Their attention to detail and hospitality made us feel right at home. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our stay was seamless. We couldn’t fault a single thing. I highly recommend the Pilchard Works to anyone looking for an exceptional getaway, and we’ll definitely be returning.

The local restaurants are excellent, (especially No.2), offering a fantastic variety of fresh, delicious food. However, I highly recommend making reservations in advance to avoid disappointment, as they tend to fill up quickly, especially during peak times.

Would Recommend: Yes

Tracey is a wonderful host - nothing is too much trouble! A warm, friendly, and most welcoming lady.

Mousehole is a beautiful little fishing village - out of the tourist mainstream and, as such, quieter, with less people and traffic. An excellent location from which to explore the southern most part of Cornwall.

We really enjoyed our stay at the old pilchard works, Tracey was lovely and her attention to detail is impeccable. Breakfast was delicious and the bed was extremely comfortable.

We loved Mousehole, and recommend the four teas cafe for a yummy lunch and great service. We also really enjoyed dinner at 2 fore Street with an abundance of fresh fish and delicious cocktails. Also be sure to check out the sweet little shops scattered around for some keepsakes to take home.

Would Recommend: Yes

We loved our stay at The Old Pilchard Works. All the details have been thought of - from a really comfortable bed to a luxurious shower. The breakfasts were superb.

Make sure you book restaurants in advance of arriving.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd September 2023:

A truly delightful stay in a beautiful location. Tracey is undoubtedly the hostess with the most-ess! Attention to detail everywhere (quality of bedding / towels / robe etc) are reminiscent of high quality stays that you might not always associate with a B&B! Breakfast fit for a King (or Queen!)

2 Fore Street was great for dinner. Newly opened Orange Cafe was lovely for a drink - menu looked good too but we found it on our last night and we're booked in elsewhere. Webbs ice cream great too. Newlyn and Penznce a pleasant and easy (mostly flat) walk. Mackerel Sky in Newlyn excellent fish / seafood spot The Old Coastguard Hotel fab spot for late afternoon / early evening drinks on the terraced gardens overlooking the sea.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd September 2023:

We spent a very enjoyable few days at The Old Pilchard Works. One of the nicest stays we’ve had in England. The accommodations are tastefully decorated, bright and airy, spotlessly clean with attention to detail. Tracey is a lovely thoughtful host. She provides a delicious breakfast with many options all carefully put together.

We had a lovely meal at a local restaurant Orange. The walk to Penzance along the water is well worth it as is the drive to see Lands End.

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

17th September 2023:

Everything about staying at The Old Pilchard Works was excellent as evidenced by the fact this was our third visit. It is very easy to quickly feel very "at home" there.

A favourite restaurant of ours is No 2 Fore Street. This is smart but informal, serves great food and is all of three minutes walk away. We have been to Mackerel Sky in Newlyn which is also good and this time we visited The Fisherman's Arms also near Newlyn. Rockpool cafe is great for lunch and afternoon tea.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th September 2023:

10th September 2023:

We had a very pleasant stay at The Old Pilchard Works. The room is beautiful and absolutely clean, and the garden is like a small paradise. Tracey is a wonderful and caring host who prepares a lovely breakfast. Very short walk to the harbour and great cafés and restaurants. 100 % recommended.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th September 2023:

The Old Pilchard Works is a wonderful place to stay. Both "The Garden Room" and "The Garret" are spacious, cosy and quiet bedrooms with en suite bathrooms of very high standard. Breakfast choices are all superdelicious, freshly prepared every day and served either in your room or in the amazing garden. Tracey is the most adorable host! She made us feel very welcome and was always available. An excellent holiday experience!

Mousehole is a nice little harbour place with galleries and restaurants. We can recommend both "The Ship Inn", "2 Fore Street" and the newly opened "Orange Café". There is a good bus connection ("The Mousehole") to Newlyn and Penzance, where you can switch to other buses to explore South West Cornwall. We recommend taking a walk to "The cave" a little south of Mousehole - adventurous.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st September 2023:

Tracey was incredibly helpful and is highly motivated to providing the highest standard of service. Her breakfasts were next level, fresh quality ingredient, delivered to your room or eaten in the garden.

No 2 Fore street restaurant is an absolute must do!!

28th August 2023:

Tracy went over and beyond to help make my stay enjoyable at The Old Pilchard Works. The apartment was beautifully presented with the most comfortable bed.

Lots of lovely things for travellers - cookies, make up flannel, lots of nice fluffy towels. All carefully thought through. Tracey and her partner are really friendly and helpful- made us feel so welcome

2 Fore street is a great restaurant just around the corner. Good parking reasonably priced at harbour near by. Minnack Theatre is only a short drive away. Walk out of The Old Pilchard and do a lovely circular walk to Lemorna Cove, swim and have lunch there or en route if you dare!

Would Recommend: Yes

11th June 2023:

An immaculate and ultra clean accommodation with first class amenities and excellent breakfast options. The host (Tracey) was extremely helpful and pleasant and offered local travel tips. The Old Pilchard Works is very central to everything in the village.

31st May 2023:

Tracey was very friendly and helpful ringing to check where I was on the first night. I arrived late but welcomed me when I did arrive. Tracey was an attentive host who made sure I had everything I needed.

The Ship Inn was literally on the doorstep along with several other tea-shops and cafe's close by. St Michael's Mount, St Ives and The Minnack Theatre were just a few of the attractions to visit. Mousehole has a pretty harbour where you could take a boat trip to look at the coastline from a different perspective.

27th September 2022:

We stayed in The Garret apartment which was simply splendid! Tracey is delightful and warmly welcomed us to her lovely home of which the two holiday apartments are a part. The Old Pilchard Works is clearly a labour of love and no effort is spared in ensuring your stay is comfortable and trouble-free. The accommodation is impeccable, very well appointed, tastefully chic and the bed super comfy. Special mention must be made of Tracey's magnificent breakfasts which are delivered fresh each day - home made and so very tasty. All this just a two minute stroll from the beautiful Mousehole harbour. Can't recommend highly enough. Thank you Tracey.

No 2 Fore Street - part of the local Deli is a brilliant restaurant with fantastic food (local fish of course), great wine and super staff. The pub is also a classic. Mousehole immediately get's under your skin. Love it.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th September 2022:

This is an outstanding hotel. My wife and I have travelled extensively and this is one of the best places we've stayed in. Bright,clean,well equipped amd reasonably priced. Breakfast is delivered to your door. Superb!

Would Recommend: Yes

12th September 2022:

Our stay at the old Pilchard works was perfect. Thank you Tracey for your warm welcome and your excellent care! The location, the room and all the facilities are spot on. Having breakfast in the beautiful garden was a cherry on top. Highly recommend staying here.

Restaurant 2 Fore is a great place for dinner but make a reservation first. It's quite popular. Park your car up the street (up hill), it's free and there was always an empty slot (or I was just lucky)

Would Recommend: Yes

10th September 2022:

What a gem this adorable, spotless, tastefully decorated inn is! Tracey and Neil are amazing hosts. Tracey's communication response is impressive and from the moment of booking to check in one feels they have all that they need for a welcome stay. Seriously I can't say enough about how classy, comfortable and CLEAN The Old Pilchard Works is. I travelled solo on this trip but will return with my husband and have already recommended to numerous friends. Thank you for a wonderful over the top experience!

Location: right in the heart of town. Easy to walk everywhere.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th September 2022:

This was an excellent find. Tracey was very friendly and the breakfast was freshly prepared and we ate ours in the garden both mornings. I can’t recommend this beautiful, clean B&B enough and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to our friends and family or stay here again. Thanks Tracey, we loved it 😍

Book restaurants before you arrive, we did and if you can visit The Minack Theatre, it’s an amazing setting.

The rooms were of an excellent standard, very comfortable and lots of love and care throughout. Breakfast was fantastic, many options to suit all availability and of excellent quality. Tracey was an excellent host. We would certainly return and recommend this stay to friends and family.

Most definitely, 2 The fore Street, fantastic food of very high quality and standard, pre book in advance essential. The rock pool cafe for open prawn sandwich and cocktails with an amazing view. The old coastguard for a drink in the large gardens. Walk to Newlyn and Penzance, bus just £2 back. Recommend Penzance lido and a few little pubs in Newlyn. Stop off at Marazion & St Ives , amazing area and you can bus or train to all these areas from Mousehole.

All we can say about the old pilchard works in Mousehole is “AMAZING”. The location, food, cleanliness, decor the list goes on… Tracey has done a brilliant job and we will definitely be back 😁

We went to the old pilchard works to recharge so didn’t really go anywhere, however the local bud goes to Penzance every 20 minutes. To eat we highly recommend 2 Fire street awesome food and the ship inn for a drink in a pub with so much history and character.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd July 2022:

This is the third time we have stayed at The Old Pilchard Works. We stayed three nights. As ever, the room was spotless. The weather was good so we had breakfast in the garden each day. Tracey is very helpful . The location is excellent and the room has good bed linen, towels etc. Apart from the seagulls it is a quiet spot.

We ate at 2 Fore Street and can recommend it, but book in advance. We also enjoyed The Bake House in Penzance. We always do the walk from Mousehole to Penzance ( via Newlyn) and then on to Marazion (about 8 miles in total) and then get the bus back. Once you are out of Mousehole it is relatively flat and along the sea all the way - so we take our time and admire the views

Loved staying at the Old Pilchard Works as always. Fantastic accommodation and amazing hosts. We absolutely love it!

Mousehole is a brilliant location. Not commercial, fantastic bus service into Penzance and from there you can reach all over Cornwall from there by bus or train. The train trip from Paddington to Penzance is so easy too. Lots to do, lovely food and culture.

Would Recommend: Yes

14th May 2022:

Tracey, who runs the B&B, was really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The garden room was very comfortable with good en-suite shower room, and separate entrance . Everything was spotless and there were some nice touches such as the fresh wild flowers. Tea, coffee and biscuits were supplied daily. The B&B is situated in the centre of Mousehole, so very close to all facilities. Breakfast was excellent with a very good choice, high quality and delicious.

Would Recommend: Yes

14th May 2022:

The Old Pilchard House in the charming village of Mousehole was a perfect place to stay to explore this part of Cornwall. Tracey couldn't have been more welcoming and The Garret was light, bright and pristine. The bed was extremely comfortable and I loved the extra touches of fresh flowers on the table, plenty of comfortable cushions and yummy shortbread biscuits. The breakfast was excellent. Full marks from us and we hope to visit again!

Number 2 Fore Street was our favourite restaurant. And don't forget to hang out at the harbour and watch the world go by... The whole food deli and restaurant at harbourside is another place worth visiting for good food and wine.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th April 2022:

Superbly thought out accommodation,immaculately presented. Tracey has equipped the Garret with everything a guest could wish for and was attentive to our needs,but unobtrusive also. Mousehole is all one dreams of in a cornish retreat. We will be back to the place frequently now we have discovered it.

It is easy to park at the house for offloading of luggage on arrival and departure There is 24 hrs parking available around the harbour which is a 2 mins walk from the accommodation,charge for same is £5 for 24 hrs.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th April 2022:

It was such a bright cheery spot, with light coming in from three different sides and views over the garden as well as the town and harbour. Very quiet and private and felt like our own little hideout. We loved it.

Had 2 night stay over the Easter bank holiday weekend. Our room the Garrett was clean, bright & tastefully decorated. Tracey was friendly & welcoming. Breakfast was very good, and presented in a lovely original way. The flowers & chocolate mini eggs on Easter Sunday morning was a lovely gesture. We would definitely recommend staying here, and would not hesitate to return. Paul & Karen

As Mousehole is small we would recommend booking tables in advance at local pubs & restaurants . Best place for parking is the harbour car park, £5 for 24hrs.

6th September 2021:

This place is amazing! I don’t normally bother writing reviews but this place definitely deserves one. We were really lucky as managed to book last minute due to a cancellation. The room is immaculate and has everything you need, breakfast is really nice and Tracey the owner is lovely and couldn’t be more helpful. The little touches such as freshly baked biscuits daily go a long way. It’s also a great location to get buses and trains to places like the lovely St Ives, Penzance and Lands End(not sure if we’d rush back there though haha). You definitely won’t find anywhere better for the price or even for double the price. There’s some great restaurants within walking distance too. Thanks for a lovely stay, Kim and Rachael x

Absolutely perfect. We loved our stay. We had everything you could possibly need or wish for. Linen was gorgeous and everything was so thoughtfully designed and considered, down to the smallest detail. Breakfasts in the garden were wonderful, especially the bircher muesli! Immaculately clean and Tracey and her husband were such lovely hosts. A real treasure of a place to stay. Thank you! x

The Old Coastguard was very good, though a shame we couldn't sit outside when we visited.

A beautifully clean, comfortable room (Garret Room)with soft towels, organic toiletries and an excellent breakfast. The glimpses of rooftop, garden and sea views are an atractive feature. We would recommend this accommodation without hesitation.

We enjoyed an evening meal at the Old Coastguard and the Rock Pool Cafe served a good lunch.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th July 2021:

Perfect place. Best b&b we’ve stayed in: Amazing breakfast; room spotless and stylish; hosts lovely and attentive; perfect location for exploring the rest of Cornwall

2 Fore Street great for food - short work away Old Coastguard hotel/pub also in Mousehole has lovely garden for drinks (although sometimes it’s shut for drinkers, so check the sign outside) Sennen, Porthcurno and Pedn Vounder great beaches not far. Big Sainsbury’s about 10 mins drive away

Would Recommend: Yes

15th July 2021:

Would Recommend: Yes

8th July 2021:

Another amazing stay in the cleanest most comfortable accommodation. We love it here every time we stay. The host is the very best.

The Coastguards is a fantastic place to eat both lunchtimes and evenings. Great food and service is great. The pub the Ship is a genuine traditional pub with great staff and good pub food. Friendly local residents and good galleries. The regular bus to Penzance is so useful and you can reach all over Cornwall from the Penzance bus and train station but we always walk to Penzance which is a fantastic coastal walk. Try the Rockpool Cafe too on route!

Would Recommend: Yes

7th July 2021:

What a great find The OLd Pilchard Works was! Tracey was the perfect host, the room was spotless and well equipped (loved the shower gel!), the breakfast was wonderful and the location was ideally placed. Having stayed in many places along the coast path, this is up there with my favourites.

The food at both The Deli and Old Coastguard was great.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th July 2021:

Tracey was an amazing host and gave us some useful local knowledge on where to go and what to see. We couldn’t fault our accommodation and the breakfasts were just what we needed to set us up for the day!

The roads are very very narrow in Mousehole and parking is limited. Book restaurants in advance! The Hole Foods deli has a small restaurant upstairs that serves good food..

Would Recommend: Yes

30th June 2021:

Lovely comfortable, clean accommodation. Owner was very helpful. Loved breakfast in the garden. A very pleasant 2 night stay. Have stayed here previously . Difficult to rate ‘facilities’ but it had everything you would expect from a B& B ( ie good tv, coffee machine etc)

If you go to Penzance, eat at the Bake House ( you will need to book in advance) but 2 Fore Street in Mousehole is also lovely . We love the walk from Mousehole to Marazion, about 7/8 miles but flat most of the way. Call off for an ice cream in Newlyn, a coffee in Penzance and then a pint ( or wine) in Marazion. You can catch a bus back if you like ( or a taxi isn’t too expensive) . It’s lovely on a dry day

Would Recommend: Yes

25th June 2021:

Beautiful place to stay, the cleanest place we have ever stayed. Delicious breakfast, wouldn’t change a thing.

Pub in Paul, nice walk to it.

Everything was first rate and is highly recommended.

Great local restaurants but if you want to go to Mackerel Sky in Newlyn leave early as you can't book and the queue can be very long!

Would Recommend: Yes

4th June 2021:

Lovely tastefully designed and furnished accommodation in a perfect location. Superb breakfast and everything overseen by hostess extraordinaire Tracey.

Only a handful of pubs/restaurants in Mousehole so book ahead if you wish to eat in town. Newlyn is 2 miles away and has lots of choices.

Would Recommend: Yes

The way the accommodation was made Covid compliant was excellent and the arrangements were impressive both in the standard and friendly way everything was done. It was in complete contrast to our next stay which was awful.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th May 2021:

A tranquil haven that always provides a mindful space away. Excellent dreamy bed and lashings of hot water from the shower with fragrant ecological washes. Love the welcome, moreish home-made cookie and the dainty thoughtful spring hedgerow blooms together with a breakfast box that sets us up for the day.

The Old Coastguard Hotel for dinner & afternoon drinks. Hole Deli excellent supper & harbour views. Tremenheere Garden wonderful tree-fern valley & sculpture garden. Trewidden Garden also a delight garden drink stop & small nursery.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd May 2021:

Welcoming and helpful. Beautiful room with quality bedding and decor. Super shower and lovely fresh breakfast. Faultless, wish we could have stayed longer 😊

Walk to Lamorna is a must do but it is tricky in parts, walking shoes definitely required. The Godolphin for lunch at Marazion is great as is a trip to st Michaels Mount- it was closed sadly but still worth a visit. 2 Fore Street restaurant in Mousehole excellent . The Ship Inn has very friendly staff.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th December 2020:

The Old Pilchard Works is an amazing place to stay. Tracy the owner meet us with a really warm welcome and was available and easy to contact through our stay.

Thank you for such a lovely weekend stay away...

Would Recommend: Yes

24th October 2020:

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit/ stay to Mousehole. Tracy could not of been any more kind and helpful. Lovely personality. Lovely room. Breakfast was thoroughly enjoyed and presented to a very high standard.

Parking is in the harbour, very busy for this time of the year. The restaurants are all lovely. Go down to the Rock cafe for the views. You may even see a seal. Good base for Lands end park at Sennen cove. Have an adventure.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th October 2020:

We had a lovely short break in mousehole with a warm and welcoming reception at the old pilchard works. The rooms are lovely and tastefully decorated. Everything was beautifully clean, and amenities such as tea and coffee readily available. Fresh milk is available every day and you just have to ask if you need more of anything. The breakfast is great but wished there was the option to have smaller ( o.a.p ) portions on the menu. Though if you ask Tracey she will accommodate.

It is a very short walk to the seafront and harbour in mousehole itself and a pleasant walk ( 2 miles )to the next village / or a little further to Penzance. The rock pool cafe is a lovely place to sit and have a coffee/eats and the Ship Inn does a great meal.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th October 2020:

A totally A* experience from meeting Tracey with home made biscuits when we arrived to the tastefully decorated facilities, to the delectable breakfasts right through to the sumptuous shower, with soft towels and luxurious robes! This has to rate among the top five B&Bs across the globe (and that means in over 100 countries!)

You'll love it at the Old Pilchard Works - we did! (A* experience as detailed above.) Can't recommend this delightful B&B highly enough. Perfect location, picturesque village, local amenities within walking distance, iconic Cornish harbour, wonderful views, great (and challenging!) SW Path walk to the nature reserve and even on to Lamorna.

Would Recommend: Yes

Our room was absolutely immaculate, extremely comfortable and well equipped for our stay. Tracey was extremely welcoming and approachable and the breakfasts were delicious! Will definitely be recommending this place to friends.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th September 2020:

Although Covid-19 restrictions were in place (ie. no make up of the room/daily cleaning) this was not a problem for us - it is not too onerous to shake a duvet and rearrange pillows, and keep a check on the state of the bathroom. Tracey discretely left cleaning materials in the room should guests need them, along with some hand sanitiser. Bed in the Garden Room is large and very comfortable along with the large well filled pillows. There is a lovely garden at the rear to have breakfast in if the weather is fine.

Tolcarne Inn in Newlyn (a £2.50 bus ride away or 40 minute walk) is the best we dined at this year for fresh fish dishes, cooked well and kept simple (no overpowering or unnecessary sauces).

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

4th September 2020:

Absolutely fantastic stay, completely faultless. Tracey is such a wonderful hostess, the room and facilities were amazing, beautiful location, fabulous (and filling!) breakfast, we just loved every second and cannot wait to return!

We had lovely meals at the Ship and at number 2 Fore Street, plus amazing honeycomb ice cream from the little shop on the harbour! Easy access to Newlyn, Penzance, Lands End, Minack etc and Mousehole itself is beautiful.

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd September 2020:

Tracey welcomed us warmly. The room was to a very high standard, clean and fresh. The breakfast tray was a lovely touch and very tasty. I would highly recommend The Old Pilchard Works to anyone. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Very windy narrow roads but a beautiful location. There are plenty of places to eat (book in advance). Mousehole is a picturesque village and well worth a visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th August 2020:

From the offset, we were warmly welcomed by our host. The parking was only cash (be warned) so she lent us some money. The room is so serene and beautiful. Everything was as clean as it can be and you get some snacks and a tea station in the bedroom which was lovely. We had a well cooked and delicious breakfast in the garden which was (again) beautiful. Our host was warm and gave us few tips on points of interest in Cornwall which we happily took advantage of. I am definitely looking this place up when I visit Cornwall gain.

Parking in Cornwall is mostly cash so be prepared.

Would Recommend: Yes

8th August 2020:

Lovely room: modern, comfortable, very clean, and had everything I needed for my stay. Breakfast was fantastic, with a good range of options. And it was beautifully presented! I felt very welcome, and would definitely recommend the Old Pilchard Works as a place to stay in this part of Cornwall

Porthcurno beach and the walk out to Logan Rock. Coastal walk from Sennen Cove to Lands End, and tea in Little Bo Cafe on the way back. St Michaels Mount and a wander around Marazion In Mousehole, 2 Fore Street was nice for either sit in or takeaway food.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th August 2020:

We had an amazing stay and would book to stay at the old pilchard works again. We have already recommended to family. Lovely place and great hosts.

2 fore street is great to eat. The ship inn is good for a drink. A visit to the Minnack theatre nearby is a must!
