The listing implies a dedicated parking space but this isnât the case as it would have blocked in another vehicle parked in the turning head. The only possible parking space at anytime was in the turning head on the other side of the road and this was only accessible by bumping up over a high kerb which I damaged my car on.

The rooms are reasonably spacious (we were four adults and one teenager) and the kitchen has all the equipment one would want. There is nothing better than spending an evening on the panorama window overlooking the bay. As a former council house, it is easy to hear other walking around or talking, so everyone needs a level of tolerance. Otherwise, 10 of 10 points for everything. Also for the location in Newlyn and the ease of arrival and departure.
