Holiday Cottages With Hot Tubs In Newlyn

What our customers say about their holidays

  Great location and view over the Bay, 5 minutes walking distance from the train station with easy access to St Ives.

  Before diving into a bit of detail I would like to say my family and I had a lovely holiday at the Lanyon and made some great memories. On booking there were no reviews as it was a new listing at the time so we took a risk and overall we were very happy. The walk to the nearest dog friendly beach takes you down an undulating coast path/track which is challenging, lots of steps and takes about 10 minutes once you cross the train track. But the reward once down on the beach is great, a very nice sandy beach and no restrictions for the dog. We stayed there for several hours on one of our days. Carbis bay is a lovely sandy beach but down a steep road. There is a hotel/bar where you can have a drink or two which was nice. The beach has restriction on the time dogs are allowed, I think 10am-6pm (but pls check) The house is big and spacious, but perhaps could do with some updating in the main bathroom and shower room. All works perfectly fine but just looked a little dated. No TV in three of the bedrooms, but as we were out and about most of the time not too much of an issue. Doors: a few of the interior doors did not open or close easily, you had to apply some force and this created a loud noise each time, not so much of a problem in the day, but at night was just not great. (easily fixed I am sure) The garden is a big space which is great for the dog, but the lawn needs cutting and grass needs some attention. Also need some better quality outside furniture, what is supplied seems very much like an after thought. Also a couple of sun loungers would be great. We liked the idea of the Wood burning hot tub in advance, but there is no wood supplied and the reality once there is it all seemed like a lot of effort. Would strongly recommend installing an electric hot tub in the future, as the view is great. We had two cars, one being a largish 4x4. The driveway to the house had an old cement post to one side of the entrance which was more of a hindrance/hazard and would recommend this be removed. The main sitting room/tv room is a nice large space with comfortable seating and open fire, I would recommend they remove the main painting opposite the TV as it depicts somebody being beheaded!, not great for young kids.. St Ives: Take the rain as parking in St Ives can be problematic, it is one stop on the train. We enjoyed Cintra as a fish/tapas type restaurant overlooking the harbour. Very fresh and tasty. I hope this helps, all in all the house and location worked great for us . (3 adults, 2 children (11 & 14) and a Cockapoo dog)

  The property is well located for Sennen Cove, but the name “sea the view” is a bit misleading as it doesn’t really have sea views.

  The rooms are very nice quality and design and a lot of thought has gone into it. The photos on the listing showed comfy outdoor furniture but this had been replaced with less lounge furniture (which is obviously easier for them to maintain). So there was nowhere we could all sit and lounge outside (the comfy corner sofa chairs were not there, the swing chairs had been taken down etc). So it wasn’t quite as expected. The bed linen was lovely quality but the pillows were awful - I get this is very personal but I had to go out and buy some as they were that poor and the main bed had a super firm mattress. We had problems with the main patio door not working which meant there was a gap when they were closed and as it is quite an exposed garden the draft and noise of the wind was quite annoying. In addition we had a day of driving rain which lead to a large leak flooding the floor under the picture window. Eating in all the basics crockery was there but for example there was no salad bowl or serving plates, so if you were wanting to do a nice meal in it was a bit basic. The addition of an electric charger was very helpful. It was lovely but overall for the high price I don’t think it quite delivered.

  This property has an amazing location and is very comfortable and well equipped however, a five star property also needs attention to detail and the quick fixing of issues/ replacement of worn and damaged fixtures and fittings. Below is a list which suggests that this attention to detail is lacking. 1. A broken blind and stool in the master bedroom. Ripped blinds in the bathroom to the master bedroom. 2. Ill - fitting and damaged carpet on the steep staircase and in the doorway of the lounge 3 several items of broken kitchen equipment - notably a cafetière, corkscrew and cup 4. A tumble drier that cannot be used without it tripping the RCD 5. A leak from one of the bathrooms in to the sitting room during our stay. This has happened before; the water damage was clearly visible in the ceiling and when I phoned your emergency number I was cheerfully told this! I hope you find this feedback useful and take it in the spirit with which it is meant - honest and candid feedback! I have no intention of posting a negative public review as despite all of this, we still had an enjoyable stay whether we will book through your company again remains to be seen.

  We booked this property last minute and what an amazing hidden gem in Newlyn. First of all the house is incredibly appointed, cosy, nice crockery and wine glasses etc. The garden needs promoting more because it’s fabulous! Perfect for the dog to explore, very secure. The hot tub was brand new and the views from it across Newlyn harbour were stunning. Newlyn itself is really up and coming, with some fabulous restaurants, Argoe, the Tolcarne, and wine bar Lovetts. Aunty Mays is perfect for takeaway sandwiches. You’re also only a few minutes from the pretty town of Mousehole with the lovely Ship pub, as well as 2 Fore street restaurant. Having never stayed in Newlyn before we will definitely be back and we can only hope we can book this amazing property again. Our only comment would be the directions to the property could be a little clearer as the house is very hidden from the road and it took us a while to find it. We enjoyed the fact there was parking as this is rare in Cornwall. We hope to return to Orchard cottage again. Our best cornwall trip yet!

  Orchard cottage is a beautiful period property with lovely proportions. It was perfect for our group of 2 families of four with tweens/teens. The youngsters loved the hot tub, the large TV and their equal sized bedrooms. Kitchen is beautiful and well equipped for cooking for 8. Beds are all comfy. We ate Sunday lunch at the fisherman's arms in Newlyn - food was delicious and the staff were really helpful fitting us all in. This is a great location for exploring West Cornwall. Mousehole, St Ives, Sennen, lands end, Minnack all within 20-30 mins. We particularly loved Porthkidney beach for the dogs- you can park for free near St Uny church. Gwithian towans beach is also gorgeous but dog friendly section cannot be accessed on a high tide. Nanjizal beach is really quirky with breathtaking cliff walks to access but definitely no longer a “hidden” gem! Newlyn has a lovely cinema with a bar. Penzance has a great range of useful shops and some nice independent shops too. Decent playpark for under 11s and a skate park. We would definitely love to return!
