LOCATION

Among all the pretty touristic towns and villages of West Cornwall, Newlyn feels the most authentic. It remains one of the biggest fishing fleets in the UK and as such gives a unique insight into a proper Cornish fishing port. You can buy fish and seafood straight from the boats, or from one of the many fishmongers. Its streets are quaint and have many old houses crammed down traffic free lanes, but it's the port that gives it its character. Newlyn is fantastic to visit at any time of year, but the August Bank Holiday Fish Festival is not to be missed. As is the New Year’s Eve fireworks at Mousehole.

Despite Newlyn retaining much of its original character the march of time is catching up and it’s becoming quite the destination. This is helped by a number of fabulous eateries including ‘Argoe’, perched by the slipway of Newlyn Harbour it is a relaxed restaurant with a laidback feel as dishes are served when they are ready. ‘The Tolcarne Inn’ with its Michelin starred chef and the amazing independent cinema ‘The Newlyn Filmhouse’. Developed from an old fish merchants store and partly funded by the Curzon group you could be forgiven for thinking you’re in central London with the fantastic bar and gorgeous interiors.

Travelling around, the impossibly quaint village of Mousehole is walking distance. It’s only a mile and a half away and a stunning walk along the coastal road. Alternatively, there is a bus stop by the St Peter’s Hill car park, where you can catch a bus to Mousehole or continue round to the lovely sandy beach of Sennen Cove. Mousehole has a number of highly regarded restaurants and cafés, while Marazion, St Ives, Penzance and Sennen are all well worth visiting and an easy drive away.

Newlyn has a strong artistic heritage. It is loved by artists and famed for its art. The Newlyn School was formed by Stanhope Forbes and Walter Langley who started the British plein air movement (paint outside) and included Henry Scott Tuke as well as others, many of whose works are in the Tate Britain collection.

LIVING

The comfortable and cosy living area has stunning wood floors flowing across the whole of the downstairs. It’s a wonderful place to relax in, with a three and a two-seater sofa plus a flat screen Sky TV with Sky Sports and a wood burner.

COOKING & EATING

Outside the front door a small raised patio catches the morning sun with a hanging chair. Up to the top past the master bedroom’s terrace, there is a decked terrace with a table and chairs for al fresco meals and a wonderful summer house on its own terrace.
