Cosy & elegant cottage in charming Newlyn

Tolcarne Place puts this two-bedroom cottage right in Newlyn, England's highest-value fishing port. The harbour operates around the clock with beam trawlers and crabbers, and a fish market runs most weekday mornings - a genuine working waterfront rather than a museum piece.

The cottage has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a living room that includes a sofa, work desk, and TV. A fully equipped kitchen has a washing machine, and WiFi covers the whole property. A balcony, seating area, and private entrance give extra space beyond the main rooms. Free on-site parking is included.

Newlyn's eating options are within walking distance - Jelbert's ice cream (made locally since 1938), the Tolcarne Inn, and the Mackerel Sky Seafood Bar. The Newlyn Art Gallery on New Road continues the tradition of the Newlyn School painters with contemporary exhibitions. A promenade and cycle path connects directly to Penzance, about a mile east, where Penlee House Gallery holds the largest collection of Newlyn School paintings.

The coast path south reaches Mousehole in 1.5 miles. Penzance station provides mainline rail connections, and Scillonian III ferries to the Isles of Scilly depart from Penzance harbour.
