Mrs McCoig
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 overlooked by neighbours on both sides. Overall a nice little holiday cottage.
