“Christmas at Westcliff.”

We chose this cottage to celebrate a 75th birthday over Christmas, and it was everything we wished for. The cottage had been decorated for us and we had everything we needed for a special Christmas. The views were amazing from the upstairs living room, and the cottage was equipped with everything you could think of. The care which has gone into this cottage is exceptional, we have stayed in many cottages in Cornwall but this one was the most special of them all.

“Fabulous views of harbour.”

Great situation. Easy walks into Mousehole, Newlyn and Penzance. Also very frequent buses to these places.

Nicholas June 2024

“Excellent cottage in a fabulous location.”

Very well equipped and comfortable. We sat for hours watching the comings and goings in the harbour. A great base for coastal walks, beaches and restaurants.

- Nicholas, June 2024

We are really pleased that we could once again welcome you back to Westcliff, and we are very grateful for your kind feedback. All the best, Ollie & Russ Property Owner
Emma April 2024

“We had a wonderful stay at Westcliff.”

With terrible weather, we felt very lucky to have this magical view for our stay. We loved watching the boats coming and going and the big waves crashing over the sea walls. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and our two young kids loved all the books and games. A lovely welcome basket was very much appreciated. Ollie went out of his way to get a booster seat for our toddler to eat at the table. The house is really well situated. Close to shops, cafes, parking and restaurants. Would highly reccomend Westcliff. Amazing place to stay and experience Newlyn and Cornwall

- Emma, April 2024

Hi Emma, really pleased that you enjoyed your stay and thank-you for the lovely feedback. All the best, Ollie & Russ Property Owner
Shona February 2024

“The best view across the bay!”

wow! The view from the living room windows! In my humble opinion the best spot in Newlyn. Easy access to the restaurant and bars, with Saint Michael Mount appearing and disappearing in the sea mist. Top of the line kitchenware, every convenience you could want. We were there for a week, in winter, and every moment we were there we would sit at the windows. All the mod cons but the sea view from the luxury living room made this holiday an 11/10 for us.

- Shona, February 2024
Paul September 2023

“Absolutely love staying at Westcliff.”

The cottage has everything you could need plus more, Oliver and Russ have thought of everything and the views from the lounge windows could not be any better. When it’s time to go home we have to prise my dad out of the blue chair or he would stay there forever.

- Paul, September 2023

We love having you stay and it means so much that our guests feel the same way about the place as we do. Thanks for staying with us again. All the best, Ollie & Russ Property Owner
Carolyn September 2023

“Had another lovely stay at Westcliff, such a well equipped holiday cottage with amazing views.”

Thanks to the owners for sharing

- Carolyn, September 2023

Fantastic to welcome you back - we love that you love it as much as we do! Thank-you for your continued support. All the best, Ollie & Russ Property Owner
Paul August 2023

“Outstanding.”

We were sold on the location and vista prospect and that was what we got. Thought all bases were covered really well especially the kitchen (couldn’t find a garlic press). Only recommendation we could point to would be a tumble dryer. Great touch with the DVD collection too. Just felt very comfortable and homely without fuss and for us as a five it worked beautifully. Sometimes folks will look for a building with an eye catching exterior so Westcliff with a slightly more modest look really surprises once inside. Yes a small backyard which was clean and unreasonably criticised in one review but frankly with the riches of places to be outdoors then it’s superfluous other than a washing/wet suit drying place. Thanks for the welcome basket which I would say should be encouraged by Sykes for all its property clients as it does take the edge off the en route visit to a supermarket when already loaded up and probably at the end of a long day’s journey. You’ve set the bar really high there as a prefect seaside retreat, we’ll done!

- Paul, August 2023

Hi Paul, thanks for your lovely feedback. We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay. The washing machine is also a dryer but agree - never as effective as a separate dryer. Also, a garlic press will be purchased shortly :-) we hope to welcome you back in the future and thanks again. All the best, Ollie & Russ Property Owner
Charlotte July 2023

“It is a gorgeous property, well equipped and comfortable.”

The view from the sitting room is incredible and one could spend hours looking out of the window. The welcome pack was a thoughtful touch and was much appreciated. Although there is no parking at the property we had no problems unloading and then parking in a nearby car park. There were so many thoughtful details, dog towels, coffee pods, many games, dvds and books, it made our holiday perfect. We really didn't want to leave. You can feel the care and love that has been put into this house. Newlyn and the surrounding areas are gorgeous and there is much to explore. Lots of great local restaurants and cafes. Although we drove it seemed that there was a very regular local bus service to Penzance and Mousehole. I would thoroughly recommend Westcliff.

- Charlotte, July 2023
Nicola June 2023

“Another lovely stay at Westcliff.”

Welcome hamper delightful, adds a special touch to the holiday. Having necessities kitchen towel, washing up liquid, etc etc a bonus. Lots of places to visit within close proximity. At Ives, Marazion, Mousehole, Minnack Theatre, Portcorno beach to name but a few. The parking had changed since last visit so was a little anxious about this, but no need, it was a short walk from property and plenty of space to park didn’t seem to be an overly used public car park. The money for parking was not in property as described in details, but this was soon transferred into our bank by Ollie and apologies given. One of our favourite properties to stay in. Nicki

Nicholas June 2023

“Excellent holiday in a superb apartment with great views.”

The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. The cottage is in a great location overlooking the harbour and close to two pub restaurants which do excellent food. The welcome pack of milk, bread, eggs, wine and scones with jam and clotted cream was greatly appreciated.

- Nicholas, June 2023
Rachel May 2023

“This is our second time staying at this property and it was perfect.”

The accommodation itself it set in a perfect location. There is a pub/ restaurant less than a 2 min walk from the accommodation with friendly staff and good quality food called the Fisherman's arm. We ate here twice and both times the food was fabulous. We would also recommend the Mackerel sky seafood bar. I love the small things that the property owner has left in the property, such as a range of books in the children's rooms, a mix of dvds and games There was also essentials like butter, milk and eggs and wine! on arrival, which was a lovely gesture. Good communication from the property owner throughout. The accommodation itself it's very clean and well kept.

- Rachel, May 2023
Julia March 2023

“One of the nicest property we have stayed in for a while, in a good location and the best view one could wish for.”

Overlooking the busy but quaint fishing port of Newlyns & the bay and St Michael’s Mount beyond, ‘picture perfect’. We were only here for a short time visiting family but would definitely return to explore the area further and beyond as there seems to be plenty to do & see & with good public transport if nec. The weather wasn’t the best but that didn’t matter as the house is so warm and ‘comfy’. Everywhere was very clean plus with all the facilities one could need. Beds were clean & comfortable too. The owner was very helpful and easy to contact if needed, they obviously love their home as did we, thank you.

- Julia, March 2023
Kenneth March 2023

“The negative aspects.”

On arrival, the property was really cold, and I would suggest that the heating be put on prior to an arrival, as it took sometime for the house to heat up. The old leather settees in the living room, are extremely uncomfortable and need to be replaced. The courtyard to the rear is unappealing and you would not want to sit out there, the bright blue painted floor is not attractive. In the listing, it states that there is on site parking, when in fact the only parking is a pay and display car park about 200 meters away. We were notified of this, but only after making the booking. The car park was generally quite full, and I would suspect in busier times be an issue. The road outside can be busy, and if you were using the ground floor bedroom at the front of the property, you would be disturbed by the noise of traffic. The positive points. The kitchen is fully kitted out with every appliance you could think of, so if you intend to eat in, you would have everything you need. There was a welcome pack, with milk, wine, bread and even local saffron cakes, a really nice touch. The beds were comfortable and the whole property was really roomy. The location was quite central and you could easily walk to all the local pubs and restaurants. As a working village, everything was open, unlike many of the tourist villages that seem to open for summer only. This is a year round location. The panoramic view from the first floor living room, looking right over the harbour, with the working fishing fleet, will keep you occupied for hours. There is a bus "The Mousehole" which runs every 20 minutes to take you into Mousehole or Penzance, from where you can easily get a train for St Ives. Transport for Cornwall who run the buses offer a travel anywhere in the county, £5 per day or £20 per week ticket, so you do not need to drive and will not have parking charges and difficulties especially in the Summer. The location gives you a central base to explore with ease this part of Cornwall either by foot, car or public transport.

- Kenneth, March 2023

Hi Kenneth, thanks for the positive points you've made and also your honest feedback on other items. Regarding the temperature we can only apologise and we agree that the property should not have been cold on arrival so we will take steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again. We haven't had feedback about the sofas before but now we have, we will review these when we are next there. The house has never been advertised as having on-site parking; there is off-street parking in two car parks within a very short walk, although we can understand why the reference to off-street parking on the information could cause confusion and we have requested this be removed from our page. As demonstrated in the photos of the house, it is on a road, albeit a minor one, and the ground floor bedroom is at the front. As is the case with many Newlyn properties, there are ruins of the fishing past in many outdoor spaces - our courtyard features walls which were part of an old Pilchard Works and there is a limit to what we are able to or want to cover up or disguise. This space is generally popular with our guests, friends and family in the warmer months although on a cloudy drizzly day in early March, we agree it probably it wouldn't have the same appeal. We will continue to review the points raised and take action where necessary, and we hope that you had a pleasant time in Newlyn. Property Owner

Clare September 2022

“We've had a fabulous week's holiday at Westcliff.”

The property is stunning and the location is amazing. We were treated to a lovely welcome hamper which was beautiful after a long journey. The property is incredibly dog friendly and it's unusual to have a great outside space along with a beautiful seaview. We will be back again. Thank you.

- Clare, September 2022
Jennifer September 2022

“Lovely comfortable spacious cottage, very well equipped and in a great location although a little noisy when the pub closes.”

Would definitely return.

- Jennifer, September 2022
Liz July 2022

“Only negative is the outside yard could be made more pleasant to want to sit out there of an evening.”

Just looked dirty so didn’t use the area. A shame because it lets the property down.

- Liz, July 2022

Hi Liz, thanks for your top scores for Westcliff but sorry to hear your feedback on the courtyard. It was painted last year but the nature of the weather down there does mean it can take a battering in bad/damp weather. We will make touching up this area a priority when there is a window in our calendar to do so. All the best, Ollie & Russ Property Owner
John July 2022

“Lovely house in a great location, amazing harbour views, loads to do around the area, beaches, surfing, walks, great local cafes and restaurants.”

We also enjoyed the walk to/from Penzance along the promenade and to/from Mousehole in the other direction. Only minor niggle would be that more could be made of the outside space, a bit of a clean and a lick of paint would have added another 'outside room'.

- John, July 2022
Andrew June 2022

“This property has everything you would need.”

The views are amazing! The facilities in the home are amazing . Nothing too much trouble communication wise. Hamper took two weeks to get through! You give everyone an amazing time in an amazing home. Thank you

Carolyn May 2022

“Property was excellent; well equipped, clean, tasteful, comfortable with amazing views.”

Really enjoyed our week and would love to return. Lovely thoughtful welcome hamper and flowers were the icing on the cake… superb, would definitely recommend the property and area. Newlyn is a really interesting gem.

Mrs April 2022

“Fantastic cottage we used as a base for exploring the area.”

2 minute walk into the town where there were wonderful restaurants and 2 minutes the other way onto a beach and coastal path which was loved by our dog. Cottage had more than you could ever need for a holiday , everything had been though off , it was really comfortable and the view from the lounge is as good if not better than the advert photographs. We had a seal in the harbour on 2 of the mornings. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

- Mrs, April 2022
Rachel April 2022

“This accommodation was far more than advertised!”

Olli contacted us before hand to see if we had any questions, needed anything specific etc which was a lovely touch. We were greated with a 'basics' hamper, definitely far more than just basics and a perfect start for getting in so late and after a long travel. We come to the rooms which are all much larger than appeared on the photos. The house was beautiful, clean and very well equipped, coffee machines, and many other kitchen appliances including a nutribullet! The cupboard were fully equipped with everything you need and much more. Even the knives were still really sharp, which is a change from a lot of places we stay in. The children's bedroom had lots of books in and a beautiful chair to sit and read them on, even a torch which gave our boys a lot of excitement. The view out the lounge window is exactly like the photos, I spent so much time looking out the window that I had forgotten there was a TV. Alongside this, there were a range of Dvds, games and books for everyone. The location is perfect for a short talk into the high street in one direcrion- where we ate at The Bridge and The Mackeral Sky Seafood bar- both amazing food and great staff. In the opposite direction was the beach, we found lots of seaglass for those seaglass collectors. We also visited most beaches and found a lovely restaurant or 2 in Carbis Bay. Newlyn even has a little art gallery which gives you free access to the Penzance exhibition too. St. Michael's Mount (which you can see from out the window) was a must visit, we all loved it from my children to my parents. Unfortunately, we didn't get to go on the boat ride due to bad wind on that day. I'm usually good at being critical and finding ways to improve places. However, at Westcliff, I believe they have covered everything and much more!! We have a rule that we will never stay at the same place twice, although for this property, I think I'll make an exception. Thankyou for making our honeymoon amazing! X

Alan February 2022

“A lovely little cottage, tastefully decorated and well fitted out.”

Very clean with an excellent welcome pack. Possibly the best equipped kitchen in any self catering property we've ever stayed in. Really nice to see such good quality wine glasses supplied too. One portable electric radiator didn't work, but no problem for us. Took a while to understand the bath mixer tap. We'd never come across one with such a 'safety feature'(?) before. One key for the interior door wasn't so easy to use. (the set without a blue tag) Might be wise to reseal the back of the kitchen worktop to the tiles as splashes from the sink might damage both in time.

- Alan, February 2022
Fiona February 2022

“What can l say other than perfect.”

Everything had been thought of, including spare dog lead. Extremely generous welcome pack, perfect cottage, so clean with everything provided, fantastic views. Secure courtyard great for 2 terriers. We will definitely be back.

- Fiona, February 2022
Jessica January 2022

“A fantastic week in a beautifully clean cottage.”

Everything we could have needed was provided, and the wine and scones on arrival very much appreciated with two young children!! We will be back in the future. Thanks again.

- Jessica, January 2022
Lynda October 2021

“The accommodation was amazing!”

The views from the sitting room were mesmerising as we watched boats come in and out of the harbour all day long. The welcome pack was extremely generous & much appreciated. The walks to Penzance and Mouse hole weee easy & a treat to get there for lunch or shopping . We will certainly recommend family & friends to stay here & will look forward to another sit ourselves. Thank you for a wonderful relaxing holiday!

- Lynda, October 2021
Lesley September 2021

- Juliet, July 2021
Leanne June 2021

Daniel April 2021

“What a fantastic week we had.”

The cottage is spot on with everything and more that you could possibly need. The views from the cottage are truly amazing and we never got bored watching the ever changing harbour view. The owner Ollie is a great chap and contacted me prior to our stay to see if we had any queries. It was the first time I’ve been contacted by the owner and it was reassuring to know Ollie was available if required. Our stay was issue free and it’s a great location for exploring the area. All the locals are very nice and accommodating. A special shout out to Greengrass, thanks for our guided tour of Newlyn and the many pints of Cider shared. We would love to go back. A big thank you to Sykes, Ollie, Newlyn and Greengrass. X

- Daniel, April 2021
Sarah April 2021

“This holiday was a first class experience from start to finish.”

Even before we had arrived the owner was in touch and sent us some really helpful recommendations based on our interests. The cottage was spotless, and everything felt generous with lots of little extras, particularly for a rainy day ( not that we had one!) . The view really lived up to expectations, and we found the location of Newlyn ideal for exploring the area.

- Sarah, April 2021
Lowri October 2020

“This holiday cottage exceeded our expectations, very beautiful, full of character, comfortable, clean and cozy with lots of lovely finishing touches to make it feel like home.”

The views out the windows are spectacular! The Cottage had everything we needed, I loved the coffee machine. The children loved the choice of games and DVD's! Newlyn itself is such a lovely community, with a brilliant choice of restaurants and little shops. It was also great being so close to so many other lovely places, we visited St Ives, St Michaels Mount, Jubilee pool in penzance, Mousehole. I would definitely recommend this cottage! Can't wait to visit again! Thank you.

- Lowri, October 2020
Alyson September 2020

“We had a brilliant holiday at Westcliff.”

Clean comfortable home from home we have already booked for next year. Thank you Ollie & Russell

- Alyson, September 2020
Jeanette September 2020

“Our second visit to Westcliff, so expectations were really high.”

..and we weren’t disappointed. Everything, from booking to the end of our stay went smoothly. We felt cared for and safe, two emotions not usually high on a list of priorities for a successful holiday, but currently essential if we were to relax and benefit from our stay. It was an excellent break. Once the car was parked we left it there for the week and benefitted from all Newlyn had to offer. It’s a lovely community, we even got to know the neighbours this year! And the barber dealt with my lockdown hair! We really didn’t want to leave, thank you to everyone involved in making our holiday a week of wonderful memories.

- Jeanette, September 2020
Fiona August 2020

“Westcliffe is a beautiful property with an outstanding view.”

We had a wonderful holiday and when a minor problem occurred it was sorted quickly and the communication was great. We really appreciated the pre visit phone call, the welcome basket and the Kitchen aid! The house is in a unique area with lots for the family to do. Our children wanted to move in and live there. We will be back.

- Fiona, August 2020
Claire August 2020

“We immediately fell in love with this gorgeous property that we called home for our week’s stay in Newlyn.”

Our holiday began with a courtesy call from Ollie a couple of days before we were due at Westcliff to introduce himself & answer and questions, a lovely personal touch, thanks Ollie! Upon arrival the property was immaculately cleaned and an incredible hamper awaited us ... scones, jam, clotted cream, tea, coffee, biscuits, bread, a bottle of red wine as well as milk & white wine in the fridge! Loved everything about Westcliff, from the location & absolutely incredible view of the harbour, to the extremely comfortable beds. They have thought of everything ... hand sanitiser at the entrance, a huge selection of games, books & dvds, crabbing/fishing nets, umbrellas, dog bowls & towels. The kitchen is very well equipped and the whole property tastefully decorated. We can’t wait to go back!

- Claire, August 2020
Peter September 2019

“Loved Newlyn - a totally unpretentious place where what you see is what you get.”

Westcliff provides everything you could possible want and more as far as accommodation goes.

- Peter, September 2019
Jeanette September 2019

“Westcliff exceeded our expectations from the moment we arrived until the day we left for home.”

The thoughtful welcome hamper was just what we needed after our journey, and set the right note for our holiday. This was undoubtedly the cleanest and best equipped holiday accommodation I have experienced. A great deal of thought and effort had obviously gone into the decor and furnishings, we were made to feel very comfortable. Although we love to explore, Westcliff’s enviable position opposite the harbour made it difficult to leave the property at times, a fascinating vista! We would wholeheartedly recommend this property, couldn’t fault it and look forward to a return stay before long.

- Jeanette, September 2019
Susan August 2019

“Had a lovely holiday.”

Cottage well equipped and comfortable and view over harbour was fantastic. Always something to see and whilst we were very lucky with the weather and walked miles you could spend hours just looking out the window. We would love to visit again and would recommend without hesitation

Julie June 2019

“The cottage is beautiful, it is so homely and it has everything that you need and more, it is decorated so beautifully,the beds and bedding were very comfortable and has fans in each room just what you needed after long walks.”

There is such a lovely view over the harbour it's hard to drag yourself away. It is good base to explore Cornwall. We were sad to leave. Lastly I left my kindle behind but after a phone call the owners went above and beyond to return it to me by post the next day.

- Julie, June 2019

“What a lovely cottage in a fantastic location overlooking Newlyn Harbour.”

“I would highly recommend West cliff holiday home.”

It is a beautiful clean cottage with stunning views of the harbour. The cottage is extremely comfortable and has everything you could possibly need. The welcome hamper was amazing and much appreciated. The owners and son were very helpful and accommodating. The harbour is right on the West cliff doorstep and parking is only a short walk away. Newlyn is a lovely small fishing village situated within easy reach of Mousehole and Penzance. There are plenty of beautiful beaches within short drives to visit and amazing places to see. The local pubs/restaurants.are friendly and offer lovely meals. Karen

The property

A prime waterfront location, this traditional granite cottage has unrivalled views over Newlyns magnificent harbour and the stunning coastline at Mounts Bay.

Newlyn sits in south-west Cornwall, between the picturesque fishing village of Mousehole and the historic port of Penzance.

This charismatic seaside town is an active fishing port providing safe anchorage to one of the largest fishing fleets in the UK.

Westcliff offers an exceptional setting with immense letting appeal.

Set in an elevated harbour side position, guests can admire uninterrupted views to the iconic castle topped island of St Michaels Mount and as far as the Lizard Peninsula on clear days.

Ideal for friends and families, Westcliffs stone granite exterior belies a modern and spacious interior.

Large picture windows frame far reaching coastal views and flood the large first floor sitting room with light.

Time can be spent watching the changing skies and tides and the comings and goings of the fishing boats as they land their catch.

The spacious ground floor double bedroom also has a superb water vista.

There is a second double bedroom, a single bedroom and a family size bathroom, plus separate WC on the first floor.

A modern, spacious and well equipped kitchen dining room is located on the ground floor and provides access to an enclosed and sheltered courtyard with furniture for alfresco meals and idle time.

Allocated parking is available for one car a few minutes walk from the cottage.

This smart coastal bolthole is ideally located, within paces of old inns, restaurants and probably the best fish market in the UK.

It is worth rising at dawn to buy the freshest seafood for a delicious supper from the bustling fish market.

You will also find curio shops and art galleries including the famous Newlyn Art Gallery.

Scenic walks can commence from the front door with dog in tow.

Follow the coast path and discover sandy beaches at Marazion, Lamorna Cove and Porthcurno.

Continue farther to the renowned Minack Theatre and, for a more energetic walk, onto Lands End.

Westcliff is ideal for breaks at any time of year.

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.
