“We had a wonderful stay at Bodillys, the cottage was very clean and comfortable and in a great location.”

It was very well equipped with everything we could possibly need and the added touches of a cream tea and dog treats were lovely. The location was perfect for some lovely long coastal walks and the working harbour gave the town a vibrant feel. We would definitely recommend this property to stay in.

“A beautiful cottage with all facilities catered for.”

It was even better than the pictures online. The location of this cottage was perfect a few steps from the Harbour, bus stop, pub and shops closeby. We had a lovely comfortable stay and would definitely recommend.

“The cottage was very comfortable & generally well equipped, although more cutlery & crockery would have been appreciated especially as there was a dish washer which we couldn’t use because of this.”

We ended up buying washing up liquid & hand washing. The second double bedroom was very cramped & was more the size of a single. The stairs were steep as advised but the handrail didn’t go to the top of the stairs so coming down was a bit precarious. The cottage was well situated & the garden very attractive. The cream tea & dog biscuits were a lovely idea & appreciated. Generally the cottage was lovely & a couple of adjustments would make it ideal.

- Christine, August 2024

thanks for the feedback Christine and we're glad you had a lovely stay. there is hand washing in the brown pump jars next to the sinks and refill packs under the sink but we will check these are still full! We'll be adding a handrail over winter at the top of the stairs - we haven't had a chance to do this over the summer with bookings being back to back! And we shall add a second set of cutlery on your feedback! thanks again and so come back :) Gussy and Tom Property Owner

“A sensitive restoration of a fisherman’s cottage, with all modern amenities, right by the quay and bus stop, The garden is rather special, wider than the average garden for the row of cottages, with a sun trap raised patio area.”

“The Cottage was lovely, close to pubs and restaurants.”

comfortable bed. The Courtyard was great for the dogs. we were lucky with the weather, had warm and sunny days. Only rained on 1 day. we used the bus to the train station, there is plenty to do in Newlyn. went to St Ives by train and no problem. Godolphin hotel excellent food. we certainly had a great time and will return to Bodillys Cottage. Nice touch the scones and clotted cream, and dog biscuits, they enjoyed them. Once again thank you for everything. see you again soon Rod and Rose xx

Annemarie October 2023

“We had a lovely stay here, with everything we needed for the week.”

The beds were gloriously comfy after long days hiking the SWCP. Location is excellent as bus stop is just at the end of the lane. We found the cottage clean and warm, loved that we could boost the heat to dry some of our rainy gear on the radiator. We had a wonderful week and highly recommend!

- Annemarie, October 2023

We absolutely loved having you both to stay. Thank you for the kind words and we're so pleased you enjoyed beautiful Cornwall as much as we do. We hope you come back! Property Owner

Neil August 2023

“Great location for exploring the area.”

The cottage was comfortable, clean and well equipped. The pleasant outside seating area is a bonus in these cottages. We found the nearby car park very convenient. We enjoyed our holiday very much.

Karen August 2023

“We had an amazing time - the location was perfect and we loved everything about the cottage - the cream tea and doggy treats on arrival was particularly well received - we were not expecting that at all - and was a lovely surprise.”

The cottage was very clean and ideally suited for our needs. There was outside space to relax in and for the dogs to explore - and although in amongst other properties - was actually very private. The garden could maybe do with a bit of trimming back - but this did not detract from our experience at all. We were made very welcome at the Red Lion pub - just at the bottom of the lane - and the Fisherman's Arms just a bit further along - everyone was so friendly. The Fisherman's Arms do amazing food - beautifully presented

- Karen, August 2023

We're so delighted to see that you enjoyed your stay in our cottage. Thank you for the lovely feedback and please do come back soon! Property Owner

Amber June 2023

“Lovely cottage, ideally located to access centre of Newlyn, Penzance plus the coast.”

Enjoyed Lamorna Cove and nearby Perranthunoe beach for their Cornish beauty and charm. Comfy beds and sofa. Private pretty terrace to sit on - we were out there every morning and most eves. Was secure for our two dogs. Although there is no parking with the property, a car park is around the corner and costs only £15 for a whole week. Friendly pub, the Red Lion, literally at the bottom of the lane. Only problem was with the wifi which wasn’t working and the temporary dongle was intermittent. Minor issue though! Everything we needed was there and scones, cream jam and milk on arrival. Great stay and we’d love to come back.

- Amber, June 2023

Thanks so much Amber for the kind words. Our huge apologies for the internet - the area is undergoing major works which have been tricky. We have now provided a second unlimited dongle which is much faster. We'd love to welcome you back to beautiful Newlyn. Property Owner

The property

A traditional, fisherman’s cottage tucked away down a quiet alleyway just paces from Newlyn's harbour, Bodilly's Cottage can be found in an extremely desirable position from which to explore Cornwall.

Sleeping a total of four guests, this lovely dwelling is well-suited to a pair or two couples seeking an idyllic escape to the coast.

Combining character and contemporary, inside you will find a charming base to return to after each day of excitement; marvel at the rustic wooden beams lining the ceiling of the open-plan living space, a warming woodburning stove welcoming you in after an afternoon of rambling, the colourful seating arrangement making the perfect space to spend quality time with your loved ones.

Enjoy creating lovingly-prepared meals within the amply-equipped kitchen, home to an electric oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge and even a convenient dishwasher, with a washer/dryer in the rear garden utility, this property hosts all you could need for a week-long stay.

Sit together at the dining table or carry your conversations out into the garden where you can take a seat on the raised courtyard and make the most of the coastal breeze.

Heading up the steep, narrow staircase you will find the two charming bedrooms, a king size and a 4' double both with a lovely armchair where you can sit with your morning coffee as well as a bright, white coastal theme bringing an airy aura to the room.

Take a relaxing rinse in the stylish shower room to begin your day, before stepping out the front door to explore Newlyn, the harbour in view from the doorstep, this cottage is in the prime central position.

The third largest fishing port in England and an important Port of Refuge for all seafaring craft, Newlyn boasts plenty of maritime history well-worth exploring, with its beautiful harbour and 800 year old quay making a lovely spot for a morning stroll where you can watch the boats bobbing in the water, followed by a hearty brunch in one of the waterside eateries, or pick up some produce from one of the local shops to enjoy a home-cooked breakfast back at the cottage.

Visit the town's famed Newlyn School of Art where you can take a course on how to best capture the beautiful landscapes of the area or join either the Cornwall Coastal Path or the Mousehole to Marazion Cycle Path passing through to explore the wonder of the coast up close, with wildlife such as sharks, dolphins, and grey seals to spot too.

The beach is within walking distance too for those seeking a traditional seaside experience, while Penwith is the perfect place for watersports and surf fishing for sea bass.

The charming village of Mousehole is within walking distance too boasting its own picturesque harbour, while a short drive will bring you to St Ives with its famed Tate Museum, Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, the spectacular St Ives Head and so much more.

For an unforgettable stay on the Cornish coast, there's no better choice than Bodilly’s Cottage for your scenic escape.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.
