About this property
Beautiful sea views can be admired from this spacious house which provides excellent accommodation in the heart of the quaint fishing port of Newlyn, Cornwall. With its pretty harbour and village amenities, this house is ideal for a family holiday. Wake to the lovely seascape views from two of the upstairs bedrooms with the master benefiting from an en-suite shower room. Step into the split-level open plan living and dining area and you will find comfort and charm with a feature stone wall and wood burning stove to warm you on those winter breaks. Here you can open the French windows onto the enclosed patio, perfect for al fresco dining. The drawing room is ideal for escaping to with a good book which also doubles up as an extra bedroom and you will find everything you require to rustle up your favourite meals in the attractively fitted kitchen. Newlyn is filled with quaint streets and cobbled courtyards with plenty of traditional inns and restaurants where you can sample local produce. A visit to the neighbouring town of Penzance will provide plenty of activities or take a drive to Marazion for a stretch of golden beach. St Michaels Mount with its 12th Century fortress is within easy driving distance where you have the chance to walk across the causeway at low tide or hop on a ferry. A fabulous house, in a beautiful location, ensuring a wonderful holiday.
Nestled next to Penzance, and although still a quaint village in its own right, Newlyn is actually the third largest fishing port in England, and an important Port of Refuge for all sea baring craft. It is unusual in that visitors can still watch the landing and auctioning of fish at the market, as many families have for centuries before. T

Usually cosy is code for small, but actually the heating was on and the whole place felt so inviting. We didn't use the second sitting room because the open plan area was sufficient. The cottage was well equipped, beds were soooo comfy and wow.....the cleanest oven I've ever seen in a holiday let! I spent many hours at night laying in bed just watching out to sea, the upper balcony is a real addition and we did sit and read up there. There's very little external noise in this cottage which we are very likely to book again. We had a peaceful relaxing stay, it's easy to see why people return time again. A great base to explore from but equally if you stay local there's plenty of great places to eat or spend the evening chatting. The garden was perfectly secure for our 2 shihtzu's who love playing 'escape' and in fact they settled as quickly as we did. The parking space was a huge help. Few small issues....lamps in the main bedroom are closed to needing repair or replacing. The sofa cushions are looking 'end of holiday season' and are looking like a steam clean might pep them up a bit.
