Great host, great property, lovely area

Well appointed, character-filled cottage. Beautifully furnished and decorated. West Cornwall is a fabulous place to stay with a great many beaches, ancient landscapes for exploring and tourist attractions. Gord was a great host and Newlyn is a fantastic place to stay with great food (Jelbert's ice cream is a must-try, Tolcarne Inn is unbeatable for fish dishes and there are enough pubs for every day of the week)! Thoroughly recommended!

Cute place near the water

This cottage was great for our 2 night stay in Newlyn. We could walk to restaurants and shops, leaving the car in the available parking space. The owner was super helpful with ideas of where to shop, eat and explore in Newlyn and surrounding areas.

Amazing!!!

Amazing place! The house is very clean and tastefully decorated. The location is perfect- remote and peaceful, yet lots of lovely little grocery shops, coffee shops, ice cream parlours, take away places and restaurants within walking distance. 15-20 minutes drive to Land's End or Minack Theatre. Great base for exploring Cornwall.

We loved our stay here!

Our 5 nights here were more enjoyable than we had imagined. Right from the first communication with Gord we were impressed with the service he offers. The cottage is newly refurbished, well appointed and also well set up to enable us to work for 4 days. We also loved the fresh seafood and nice cafes in Newlyn. We didn't want to leave.

Such a beautiful cottage and location

Such a beautifully finished cottage, very well appointed and in a cute location. The town it's in is great, try Eddie's for fish and chips and you must take Cliff Road into Mousehole. Gord was a fantastic, helpful and attentive host. Tight to get a car into the parking spot but all else was wonderful.

Lovely spot in Newlyn

Great location- walkable to charming shops in Newlyn and a nice walk to Mousehole. Gord was readily available when we had a question about the door lock and was friendly and helpful. The apartment was immaculate and beautifully decorated- cosy and welcoming. We loved our visit and will recommend it to friends traveling to Cornwall.

What a gem of a place

Gord’s place was amazing! Honestly we didn’t want to leave 😀 it was very clean, beautifully decorated with lots of great touches made it soo cosy! The cottage was a great base to explore Newlyn, Mousehole and Penzance. Gord was a fantastic host always reactive to messages. I will miss my morning cuppa overlooking the sea. We will definitely be back, thanks again for such a comfortable stay.

Wonderful spot outside of Penzance!

We had such a wonderful experience at this Harborside cottage. It was clean, had enough room, was a stones throw away from the Harborside boardwalk, and had a lovely coffee house nearby right through the art gallery (Fika). Gord was accessible for questions, and was very helpful. If you get a chance, talk to Pippa and Sophie and get recommendations from them. They directed us to a lovely spot on Sonnen beach. We had everything we needed, and was very comfortable and quiet. I couldn’t recommend any higher.

Awesome spot!

The Basket loft is an ideal spot for checking out the area. Walkable to penzance, mousehole and the St Michael’s mount start but without the traffic and busyness of Penzance. Gord gave us fantastic dinner recommendations and we loved them all. The home is completely stocked with spices, press coffee maker and all the items needed to make meals. The little deck area is a lovely spot for cocktail hour. And Gord was super easy to work with! You will be glad you stayed here

Besser geht's nicht!

The Basket Loft ist absolut top. Alles ist neu, gepflegt und sauber. Die Lage in Newlyn mit Parkplatz ist Gold wert. Küche, Fernseher, Betten, Dusche,... alles top. Toll und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Auch die Kinder haben sich sehr wohl gefühlt. Gord hat super Tipps und die Kommunikation verlief super und freundlich.
