    “Our week at Lookout Cottage was fantastic, with constant sea views fringed by the tropical palm leaves of the tree out front we felt like we were in a summer dream.”

    The cottage has so many nice features and the location was very interesting, placing us in amongst the community of the working harbour. Walks out the front door were very interesting, to Mousehole for a gentle hour's stroll and to Marazion, getting the bus back to Penzance was more demanding. So many nice places to choose from for our days out and books and a good internet tv for time at home. If you're looking for an active holiday with plenty of things to do it's a great holiday home ...

    The cottage has so many nice features and the location was very interesting, placing us in amongst the community of the working harbour. Walks out the front door were very interesting, to Mousehole for a gentle hour's stroll and to Marazion, getting the bus back to Penzance was more demanding. So many nice places to choose from for our days out and books and a good internet tv for time at home. If you're looking for an active holiday with plenty of things to do it's a great holiday home. Just to touch on some thoughts on a couple of challenges, and perhaps where improvements could be made, you will need to be prepared for some physical effort as bringing bags along the path from the car drop off point takes a little doing. You'll need your luck to be in to be able to park within 200 metres, but to be honest it always felt like we needed a reason to burn off the calories from the many, many pasties and ice creams on offer every where we went! If you stay we thoroughly recommend visits to the Penlee House Gallery, Minack Theatre, Marazion Marshes, St Ives Barbara Hepworth Museum, and the Coast Guard box at Cape Cornwall.. Oh and all the many Cornish gardens within easy reach! Cooking was a pleasure. The kitchen is well equipped and nicely spaced. All appliances worked.. Although the coffee maker was odd.. And only made very short coffees despite pressing the "Gusto button" So I stopped using it. Though we had nice evenings in, we did find there was a limit to how long we could be comfortable on the sofa, feeling the frame a bit through the cushions wasn't as relaxing as we needed. The only other negative worth mentioning would be that the windows were pretty dirty on arrival and made it challenging to enjoy the obvious amazing views a little. We didn't really spend time in the courtyard out back as it was a little unkempt, dirty window frames and with no plants. Some ferns and shade-loving plants would have made a lot of difference. That said on balance we loved our entire week at The Lookout and would return in a heart beat. If our tips to the owner at the end there help the owner to select where to focus future improvements or maintenance we hope that's welcome feedback. Thank you too, Sykes for helping us find Lookout Cottage!

About the location

NEWLYN

Penzance 1.2 miles; Marazion 6.6 miles; St Ives 8.9 miles.

Nestled next to Penzance, and although still a quaint town in its own right, Newlyn is actually the third largest fishing port in England, and an important Port of Refuge for all seafaring craft. This Cornish town is clustered around the harbour, with its historic 800 year old quay (the Mayflower actually left for America from this quay, not Plymouth) curling around a few small boats on the western side. Famous for the Newlyn school of Art and Newlyn Copper, the Cornwall Coastal Path passes through the town, as does the level Mousehole to Marazion cycle path. An abundance of wildlife and flora can be enjoyed along both, with basking sharks, dolphins and grey seals often seen. The Cornish coast is renowned for surfing, and Penwith offers some splendid beaches on which to enjoy this sport as well as surf fishing for sea bass. Mounts Bay also offers a wealth of opportunity for watersports enthusiasts as well as giving visitors an opportunity to relax and unwind in beautiful surroundings.
