Sheltered in Mounts Bay and moments from the water’s edge, Harbour Lights is a 160 year old, granite fisherman’s cottage. With maximum comfort, an open plan design, it is small, cosy, modern and well equipped, whilst retaining its original inglenook fireplace. Although the cottage has no outside space, it is a moments walk to the harbour wall with views of the boats. The local bus stop to Mousehole and Penzance is 2 minutes and the first eatery pub is 1 minute away.
Newlyn village is a picturesque short walk along the harbour’s edge, where the local fishing fleet land their fresh catch daily. The village has many facilities including several cafés, bakeries, fishmongers, butcher, supermarket with cash point, several pubs, cinema film house with café, cheese shop and charcuterie, wine bar, pizzeria, pasty, fish and chips, fish restaurants, art shops, Newlyn Art Gallery and café, with panoramic views of the sea and more.
Newlyn is nestled in Mounts Bay, with close proximity to Mousehole, Penzance with its long promenade and heated lido swimming pool, together with Marazion with its mystical St Michael’s Mount. The Cornish Peninsula has an abundance of places to discover, beautiful beaches and coves, surfing at Sennen, gorgeous Porthcurno and its turquoise water, the magical open air Minack Theatre overlooking the sea, St Ives, Lands End, the Lizard Peninsula, Porthleven and hidden Lamora Cove. Not forgetting an array of National Trust properties with their stunning gardens, and...ssshhh...tranquil Penberth Cove, famed as a location for the TV series, ‘Poldark’.

A great location in Newlyn, good amenities in the cottage - three TVs with Netflix etc, washing machine as well as the obvious kitchen stuff. Close to the harbour in Newlyn so there are great chances to buy fresh fish on your door step, plus plenty of good restaurants.Having stayed there for two years running, it’s highly recommended. Only advisory note is if you have mobility issues, the parking now is at the bottom of quite a steep slope rather than directly opposite as it was last year, so just bear that in mind!
Cottage was lovely and cosy. Very well equipped and the Christmas decorations were a very nice touch. The information pack was full of useful tips on the local area. The car parking facility was a great plus. Will definitely return.
Just as advertised. We had a lovely stay for 2 weeks in March.Easy walk to town, good parking for Cornwall, Will come again. Only negative, no recycling bins for glass/ plastic etc. Just seems wrong these days.

The property is clean and tidy, with well maintained furnishings and plenty of equipment to make a meal etc, but the property is in need of a repaint internally, particularly on the ground floor, where there is some evidence of damp with flaking paint and plaster. Getting to the washing machine in the lean-to was an experience, I know in a small house you need to store things where you can, but having to move step ladders to open the washing machine door is a bit much.The property is in a nice location near the harbour and is well situated for excursions further afield, both by bus and car. The big negative is the parking, which was difficult to locate when arriving after dark and would be a bit of a trek if you had mobility problems. Although there is no outdoor space with the property, the seat by the side of the terrace is a god place for a cup of tea whilst watching the fishing fleet come and go. another positive is the bus stops less than a minute from the property.
Very handy cottage, walking distance to Penzance, Mousehole and bus stop to other great spots.

Lovely cottage for a couple with a great location on the harbour. Equipped with everything you could need for a self-catering holiday. Good fish and chip shop in the village and The Bridge restaurant was excellent with very friendly staff. The Red Lion pub was good for drinks only a minutes walk away. A nice walk from the cottage to Mousehole which is very quaint. Only downside was there is nowhere outside to dry washing and it took ages to dry inside as the cottage is a bit damp. Overall a good base for exploring and we had a great week there.

Never been to Cornwall before, as a family we enjoyed our stay at Harbour Lights Cottage, we have a golden retriever , Odon, he is 13 he loved his holiday. The cottage was very comfortable, fresh and bright, with a short walk to shops & pubs.
We all loved being so close to the sea, the weather was perfect.
So much to do and see around Newlyn.
The pottery shop was fabulous, we bought lots and will be back.

A nice little cottage but wold be cramped for more than 2 people. I am over 6' tall and found it a bit on the small side fo rme, but my petite wife was quite happy and highly amused when I got stuck down the side of the bed! Nevertheless it does represent good value for a family and is an easy walk to Mousehole or down to the harbour etc. Supermarkets a short drive (or cycle ride) and the parking is ideal being just opposite in a reserved space (permit provided),

This was a lovely cottage, well equipped with comfortable sofas and beds. The location was excellent. It had no garden but there was a green area close by with a bench where you could sit out and watch the boats in the harbour. I don't usually go back to a cottage for a second visit but for Harbour Lights I would defiantly repeat the experience.

A lovely cottage, an ideal base for the many places to visit around the west of Cornwall (and beyond if you don't mind driving) All the equipment you could possibly need (and to be honest quite a bit you wouldn't need ☺) Well appointed, comfy, clean, car parking across the road which is ideal. We are very happy with the choice we made to stay at this delightful cottage, and would do so again without hesitation. Like so many other reviews have mentioned, the Cream tea is a nice touch, thank you.

Just returned from a week's stay at Harbour Lights, couldn't fault any bit. The accommodation was perfect for us and Daisy the Westie. Spotlessly clean, everything you need and brilliant location right across from the harbour. Reserved parking right across the road too which was great. You can walk right from the cottage into Mousehole which took about 25 mins and took in the coastal path and breathtaking views. You can leave your car and walk into Penzance from the cottage which takes you all around the promenade, it takes about half an hour and can stop at the Lugger Inn which has a sea side seating area and views across to St Michael's Mount. We drove all over Cornwall but the highlights were St Ives which was gloriously sunny, Newquay was bustling and the beaches are dog friendly, the locals are so warm and friendly, Porthleven was a surprising find, lovely busy fishing harbour and lots of off the beaten track beaches, you could have been abroad with the perfect white sand and turquoise sea. Newlyn itself has the best ice cream shop and chippy, a seafood cafe, a bakers, a coop that has everything you need, some good pubs and fish market. We didnt want to leave and are planning to return very soon!
