October 2020

“We had a relaxing few days exploring this lovely part of Cornwall.”

The cottage was very comfortable, clean and exactly as described and the kitchen was well furnished for our needs. It is near to local shops and fish bars and very close to the harbour and coastal walks in both directions. As previous visitors have described the parking can be a bit difficult but we always found somewhere. It is also within easy travel distance of Land's End, Porthcurno, Penzance, Mount St Michael, the Lizard peninsula, the Eden Project...and so much more

“My second visit to this very attractively furnished and decorated house, right in the middle of Newlyn.”

I appreciated the well equipped kitchen, ideal for cooking fish from the local fish shops, and especially when our favourite restaurants were 'takeaway' only. For someone like me, hopeless with complicated tech. the easy to use cooker, TV and heating controls were easy to operate, unlike other Sykes houses visited recently. A small maintenance issue was very promptly and efficiently dealt with by the kind owner. Parking is not easy, but one tip is to use the nearest carpark, enter just after 6pm, free of charge, but pay for parking promptly at 8am the next morning. This was very useful for loading up our luggage when we left. I look forward to my next visit as the area is quiet at night and walking to either Marazion or Mousehole makes for a convenient base close to Penzance.

“Fab place to stay and some excellent eating places within a couple of minutes walk plus the added bonus of fresh fish shops so you could cook fab food.”

My partner now hooked on fresh Newly crab. We will be looking to stay here again in the future so would highly recommend if you enjoy fresh sea air and fishy foods.

“Lovely house, exactly as advertised.”

Great shower, fluffy towels, comfy mattresses and all the facilities you need with dishwasher, washer dryer etc. Great spot in Newlyn. As per previous comments, could sometimes take a couple of minutes to find parking but always got something in the end. Would definitely recommend.

“We loved the cottage.”

There were a few reviews of things missing - in the kitchen and cosy lighting, these things had all since been provided by the owner and we found nothing missing or to complain about. The cottage is super central, minutes walk from the co-op, pubs, restaurants, fish and chip shop and the local beach. We visited Penzance, Mousehole, Sennen Cove, Marazion and some small coves. St. Ives is within good distance but we didn't visit due to it being Covid year and we were worried about the crowds and social distancing. Parking wasn't always easy near the house, a husband who will drop you off outside and then go and park is handy!

“The cottage was lovely and clean.”

Very well equipped. Great position for walking or day visits around Cornwall. No dedicated parking, however this wasn't an issue as we always got a space. Shops, cafes and restaurants all within 5 minute walking distance. Wifi which kept our teenagers happy. Lovely cottage. Great Location. We will definately be returning, loved it

“Cottage was ideally located in Newlyn with plenty in the village itself and a nice easy walk into Penzance if you wanted more.”

The wet fish shops in Newlyn were amazing and I would recommend the Red Lion and Mackerel Sky for local food. Parking near to the cottage could be a little tricky but we always managed to get close eventually. One point on the parking issue...in the cottage information it stated that parking in the nearest spaces was limited to 20 minutes. I looked for signs about this all around but could not find any and I was able to park there without any restriction, as did several other vehicles.

“Great location, pleasant modern interior which had been thoughtfully assembled.”

Utility room with washer / dryer and 2nd toilet - most welcome! As John Lewis fans, it was good to see the John Lewis influence and purchases, particularly their Croft range. We did miss having any means of making coffee - a cafeterie would be a useful addition to the kitchen as would a jug, for milk etc and a small kitchen knife for food preparation; otherwise the kitchen items were clean, colourful, sufficient with plentiful saucepans. It was necessary for us to leave comment with regard to the central heating; we’re sure the owner will deal with that matter; if so we’d be very pleased to return to this stylish and very convenient cottage next year

“Up stairs very comfortable.”

Downstairs couch and chairs looked smart but not comfotable .No out door washing line to dry clothes on or creale inside so dineing chairs used ! .Lighting poor down stairs one 'cozy light 'could have done with more ,over head light clinical and dark.

“It’s a really lovely cottage in a wonderful location.”

Peaceful but close to all Newlyn has to offer. Had a great time

“Excellent cottage ideally located for exploring south Cornwall.”

Although parking is a little distance from the cottage there was always a space available and the cost very reasonable. Take advantage of the Parking App as this reduces the need to carry change. All in all top marks

“Brilliant cottage nicely thought out.”

The property

Perfectly located for touring the far south west of Cornwall, this traditional terraced cottage is set in a quiet location in the heart of the seaside town and famous fishing port of Newlyn on the shore of Mounts Bay now recognised amongst the most beautiful bays in the world.

With art galleries, historic old pubs and outstanding restaurants, as well as the harbour all within a short level walk this really is the ideal setting to enjoy all this most interesting town has to offer.

Walkers will delight in the stunning walks available right from the door to Penzance, Marazion and St Michaels Mount walking west and Mousehole on to the magical Lamorna Cove eastwards.

The cottage is set off the main streets close to the harbour, home to one of the largest fishing fleets in the UK where all sorts of fishing vessels can be seen.

It is worth getting up early at least once to experience the bustling fish market supplying fish to leading restaurants throughout Europe.

You enter the cottage into the hallway before passing through the living room with comfortable sitting and dining areas and then through to the kitchen.

There are three bedrooms here, a double and two singles which along with the bathroom are all on the first floor.

A comfortable traditional cottage in a great location to experience a true Cornish holiday.

About the location

NEWLYN

Penzance 1 mile.

Nestled next to Penzance, and although still a quaint town in its own right, Newlyn is actually the third largest fishing port in England, and an important Port of Refuge for all seafaring craft. This Cornish town is clustered around the harbour, with its historic 800 year old quay (the Mayflower actually left for America from this quay, not Plymouth) curling around a few small boats on the western side. Famous for the Newlyn school of Art and Newlyn Copper, the Cornwall Coastal Path passes through the town, as does the level Mousehole to Marazion cycle path. An abundance of wildlife and flora can be enjoyed along both, with basking sharks, dolphins and grey seals often seen. The Cornish coast is renowned for surfing, and Penwith offers some splendid beaches on which to enjoy this sport as well as surf fishing for sea bass. Mounts Bay also offers a wealth of opportunity for watersports enthusiasts as well as giving visitors an opportunity to relax and unwind in beautiful surroundings.
