About this property
This charming house rests in an elevated position with wonderful views over the rooftops to the harbour and across Mount's Bay to St Michael's Mount. Families will appreciate the homely interior, which comprises of a well-equipped kitchen and a dining room featuring seating for six people. In the evening, you can all relax and choose from the selection of games and books on offer, for a memorable night in. The sitting room is perfectly situated for some quality together time, with access to the decked patio area, with seating for 6 where you can sit and enjoy your breakfast in the sunshine while watching the fishing boats coming in as well as the beautiful view of the famous St.
Michaels Mount. On those cooler nights, you can relax indoors on the leather sofas, perhaps with your favourite movie on play, enjoying the warmth from the coal-effect fire. For a peaceful nights sleep, three bedrooms equally promise a calm end to the day, all designed in a neutral fashion, with a soothing ambience throughout. The twin room features a fantastic outlook towards the coastline and harbour, and the modern bathroom follows suit. You can walk down the little lane beside the house and be in the heart of Newlyn in less than 5 minutes, with its supermarket (open until 11pm), bakers, coffee shops, pubs and restaurants.
Places nearby include Porthcurno with its beautiful beach which is renowned for surfing and the famous Minnack open air theatre on the cliffs, Geevor mine, St Michaels Mount. Open top bus rides, which you can catch from the bottom of the hill which goes round the coast to Porthcurno, Lands End, Sennen and St Ives, and hop on and off all day meaning you don’t have to drive and park. A beautiful cottage for all the family to enjoy.
Newlyn in Cornwall is a fishing port whose buildings cluster around the harbour, and two quays full of boats. There are amenities in the village including a shop and a pub, and the beauty of Cornwall is evident all around this area. The coastal path runs nearby and walkers will enjoy spotting the flora and fauna on land, and perhaps even glimpsing basking sharks and grey seals in the waters. Head to the beaches for excellent surfing, or participate in the many watersports which are on offer in this holiday destination.

with a view of the mount and more storage space but we made do. parking was a godsend well needed! The garden was in need of a tidy as we caught our head on the thorn bus a few times and hubby being bald well !! There is a very huge slug problem in the garden which is dangerous for dogs and I am now concerned about our dog as she has done nothing but vomit since we got home we are worried she may have licked her paws clean with a bit of slug juice as sheâs never sick and usually has a cast iron stomach a trip to the vet today so some sort of slug control is needed. The weather was wet so this probably encouraged the slugs

Thank you for the cream tea when we arrived. It was very much appreciated. There was plenty of space, very nice comfortable furniture and plenty of crockery cutlery and kitchen utensils. The view from the living room of the harbour and the whole bay is beautiful. We enjoyed sitting outside on the terrace overlooking the bay. We had one very cold wet day but we put the heating on and it was very cosy. Thank you.

Appreciated the well equipped kitchen and that all basic needs were supplied. It felt âhomelyâ. Sitting on the deck was great. Parking was helpful. A couple of pointers to consider. There are a lot of steps around the property and the paths are uneven. The garden is overgrown and shrubs need trimming back. Very friendly neighbours.
