Lloyd

Lloyd is a single-storey 1-bedroom pod on a working beef cattle farm at Buryas Bridge, 2.3 miles from Newlyn. It sleeps two. The pod has an open-plan living area and an en-suite walk-in shower room. Pets are welcome.

The interior is compact and practical: wifi, off-road parking, and an enclosed outdoor terrace with a gravelled area. It suits a short stay of three or four nights. The owner notes it is not suitable for toddlers, as there is no cot or highchair.

Newlyn itself is a working harbour - it lands more fish than almost any other port in England. The Newlyn Art Gallery and the harbour wall are about 2.3 miles away. Mousehole (pronounced "Mowzle"), 2.1 miles along the coast road, is a tight knot of granite houses around a harbour, quieter than St Ives but with a genuine fishing-village character. Lamorna Cove, a south-facing rocky inlet at 2.8 miles south-west, is sheltered enough for swimming when the Atlantic swell is low. Penzance and its Saturday farmers' market is around 2 miles east.

Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking. Best for a couple who want a quiet farm base within easy reach of Newlyn and the south coast coves. Less good for guests with toddlers, or anyone needing more than one bedroom.
