Welcome gift of milk and fruit was much appreciated. House is well located for Newlyn and Penzance. Recommend Open Top bus but may want to go into Penzance to get it, as top deck often full by time gets into Newlyn. Also recommend butchers, Auntie May's pasties and Lewis's fish and chips/ Would definitely consider coming again
