  • "This is our second stay at Bodillys Cottage and it was a great as the first one!"

    This is such a wonderfully homely cottage, with lots of personal touches that made our stay so enjoyable again. It has a lovely outside space as well which was perfect for a morning cup of tea. A great location for visiting surrounding areas, with some beautiful beaches and stunning coastal walks accessible from the cottage. Newlyn is a lovely vibrant town, the active fishing harbour is fascinating to watch in action. We will definitely be back again and would fully recommend this cottage to anyone. Thank you for another lovely holiday.

    I appreciated the owner contacted me to let me know a repair issue that had occurred before our arrival too and i was able to let them know afew other repair issues they were perhaps unaware of before our stay commenced. Did not impair our stay and always great facilities on hand at Bodily’s. I always return here each year and will do so again the property has all you will need for a comfortable stay. Many Thanks.

  • "Bodillys Cottage was very clean and comfortable."

    We were greeted with a pretty vase of flowers from the courtyard garden, scones with jam and cream and fresh milk in the fridge which were all very welcoming. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with plenty of crockery, glassware and equipment which even included an Airfryer and espresso maker. There was tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid to name but a few of the basic starter items supplied. It would have been lovely to use the courtyard garden to eat outside but unfortunately the weather wasn’t warm enough. The stairs are steep and narrow but didn’t cause us silver surfers any problems and the king size bed was very comfortable. We didn’t use the second bedroom which has a bunk bed but it would be best suited to two children or teenagers. The shower in the bathroom was very powerful. There is everything you need in the cottage and the M6 bus runs from almost outside the front door between Mousehole and Penzance every twenty minutes which is a brilliant service especially if you’re not traveling by car. We would definitely return to Bodillys.

    Thank you both for the very kind feedback. I'm so delighted you enjoyed the cottage, and pleased the welcome pack and supplies were helpful to you. Please come back soon! Property Owner

  • "Well presented, clean cottage."

    Owner very responsive and accommodating. Stairs are a real challenge. Needs blinds at front and back door for warmth and privacy. One set of towels for a whole week is a little poor. Really need a second set. Some of the utensils and pans could do with updating. Location was great. Overall, not a bad place to stay.

    Thank you for your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We strive to provide a comfortable and welcoming stay for all our guests, and we’re disappointed that some aspects didn’t align with your preferences. We do wish you had raised any concerns during your stay, as we would have been happy to address them immediately, whether that was by providing additional towels or replacement kitchenware. One set of towels per week is standard across the industry, but we’re always happy to accommodate requests where possible. We were surprised by the cleanliness rating, especially as your review described the cottage as “well presented” and “clean.” We also went to great lengths to ensure your stay was enjoyable, including offering a significant discount, a complimentary welcome pack, and wine on arrival. While we respect your opinion, we hope future guests will consider the full context of our service and the many positive experiences others have shared. We remain committed to providing a high standard of hospitality and appreciate all constructive feedback. Property Owner

    It was very well equipped with everything we could possibly need and the added touches of a cream tea and dog treats were lovely. The location was perfect for some lovely long coastal walks and the working harbour gave the town a vibrant feel. We would definitely recommend this property to stay in.

    It was even better than the pictures online. The location of this cottage was perfect a few steps from the Harbour, bus stop, pub and shops closeby. We had a lovely comfortable stay and would definitely recommend.

  • "The cottage was very comfortable & generally well equipped, although more cutlery & crockery would have been appreciated especially as there was a dish washer which we couldn’t use because of this."

    We ended up buying washing up liquid & hand washing. The second double bedroom was very cramped & was more the size of a single. The stairs were steep as advised but the handrail didn’t go to the top of the stairs so coming down was a bit precarious. The cottage was well situated & the garden very attractive. The cream tea & dog biscuits were a lovely idea & appreciated. Generally the cottage was lovely & a couple of adjustments would make it ideal.

    thanks for the feedback Christine and we're glad you had a lovely stay. there is hand washing in the brown pump jars next to the sinks and refill packs under the sink but we will check these are still full! We'll be adding a handrail over winter at the top of the stairs - we haven't had a chance to do this over the summer with bookings being back to back! And we shall add a second set of cutlery on your feedback! thanks again and so come back :) Gussy and Tom Property Owner

  • "We had an amazing time - the location was perfect and we loved everything about the cottage - the cream tea and doggy treats on arrival was particularly well received - we were not expecting that at all - and was a lovely surprise."

    The cottage was very clean and ideally suited for our needs. There was outside space to relax in and for the dogs to explore - and although in amongst other properties - was actually very private. The garden could maybe do with a bit of trimming back - but this did not detract from our experience at all. We were made very welcome at the Red Lion pub - just at the bottom of the lane - and the Fisherman's Arms just a bit further along - everyone was so friendly. The Fisherman's Arms do amazing food - beautifully presented

  • "Lovely cottage, ideally located to access centre of Newlyn, Penzance plus the coast."

    Enjoyed Lamorna Cove and nearby Perranthunoe beach for their Cornish beauty and charm. Comfy beds and sofa. Private pretty terrace to sit on - we were out there every morning and most eves. Was secure for our two dogs. Although there is no parking with the property, a car park is around the corner and costs only £15 for a whole week. Friendly pub, the Red Lion, literally at the bottom of the lane. Only problem was with the wifi which wasn’t working and the temporary dongle was intermittent. Minor issue though! Everything we needed was there and scones, cream jam and milk on arrival. Great stay and we’d love to come back.

    Thanks so much Amber for the kind words. Our huge apologies for the internet - the area is undergoing major works which have been tricky. We have now provided a second unlimited dongle which is much faster. We'd love to welcome you back to beautiful Newlyn. Property Owner

The property

A traditional, fisherman’s cottage tucked away down a quiet alleyway just paces from Newlyn's harbour, Bodilly's Cottage can be found in an extremely desirable position from which to explore Cornwall.

Sleeping a total of four guests, this lovely dwelling is well-suited to a pair or two couples seeking an idyllic escape to the coast.

Combining character and contemporary, inside you will find a charming base to return to after each day of excitement; marvel at the rustic wooden beams lining the ceiling of the open-plan living space, a warming woodburning stove welcoming you in after an afternoon of rambling, the colourful seating arrangement making the perfect space to spend quality time with your loved ones.

Enjoy creating lovingly-prepared meals within the amply-equipped kitchen, home to an electric oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge and even a convenient dishwasher, with a washer/dryer in the rear garden utility, this property hosts all you could need for a week-long stay.

Sit together at the dining table or carry your conversations out into the garden where you can take a seat on the raised courtyard and make the most of the coastal breeze.

Heading up the steep, narrow staircase you will find the two charming bedrooms, a king size and a bunk bed both with a lovely armchair where you can sit with your morning coffee as well as a bright, white coastal theme bringing an airy aura to the room.

Take a relaxing rinse in the stylish shower room to begin your day, before stepping out the front door to explore Newlyn, the harbour in view from the doorstep, this cottage is in the prime central position.

The third largest fishing port in England and an important Port of Refuge for all seafaring craft, Newlyn boasts plenty of maritime history well-worth exploring, with its beautiful harbour and 800 year old quay making a lovely spot for a morning stroll where you can watch the boats bobbing in the water, followed by a hearty brunch in one of the waterside eateries, or pick up some produce from one of the local shops to enjoy a home-cooked breakfast back at the cottage.

Visit the town's famed Newlyn School of Art where you can take a course on how to best capture the beautiful landscapes of the area or join either the Cornwall Coastal Path or the Mousehole to Marazion Cycle Path passing through to explore the wonder of the coast up close, with wildlife such as sharks, dolphins, and grey seals to spot too.

The beach is within walking distance too for those seeking a traditional seaside experience, while Penwith is the perfect place for watersports and surf fishing for sea bass.

The charming village of Mousehole is within walking distance too boasting its own picturesque harbour, while a short drive will bring you to St Ives with its famed Tate Museum, Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, the spectacular St Ives Head and so much more.

For an unforgettable stay on the Cornish coast, there's no better choice than Bodilly’s Cottage for your scenic escape.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

NEWLYN

Penzance 1.2 miles; Marazion 6.6 miles; St Ives 8.9 miles.

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.
