    “We have just returned from a weeks stay at Walter, and loved everything about it.”

    The cottage is so comfortable, homely and welcoming. It is absolutely spotless, and the owners clearly care about the upkeep of the cottage, as it is so well cared for. The cottage has everything you could possibly need, down to towels for the beach or bits for the dog. The beds are so comfortable, it's fair to say I slept better there than at home! It really is a lovely place to stay, and we will return without hesitation. It is within walking distance to Mousehole, Penzance and Maraizon ...

    The cottage is so comfortable, homely and welcoming. It is absolutely spotless, and the owners clearly care about the upkeep of the cottage, as it is so well cared for. The cottage has everything you could possibly need, down to towels for the beach or bits for the dog. The beds are so comfortable, it's fair to say I slept better there than at home! It really is a lovely place to stay, and we will return without hesitation. It is within walking distance to Mousehole, Penzance and Maraizon. There is a steep climb from the car park to the cottage, so if you have mobility issues it's not ideal for you, but we were fine. All in all we have had a lovely week in beautiful Cornwall, and without doubt we will return to Walter.

Sundowners can be enjoyed in the patio before returning inside to freshen up in the bathroom.

When sleep is calling, choose between the super-king-size and king-size rooms, both of which offer plenty of storage, zip/link features, and soft bedding.

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.

Note: Property owner must be notified of dogs on the booking (additional charge payable).
