The Basket Loft - A Lovely ‘bolt hole’ in Newlyn

Super little, well equipped, cottage with easy walks to a range of very good restaurants. Ideally situated for gentle strolls along the promenade to Penzance and its wonderful views of Mounts Bay.We had a wonderful and relaxing break, with morning coffee or evening tipple on the balcony watching the moon over Newlyn.Gord, the owner could not have been more helpful while we were there, a super host.

Great host, great property, lovely area

Well appointed, character-filled cottage. Beautifully furnished and decorated. West Cornwall is a fabulous place to stay with a great many beaches, ancient landscapes for exploring and tourist attractions. Gord was a great host and Newlyn is a fantastic place to stay with great food (Jelbert's ice cream is a must-try, Tolcarne Inn is unbeatable for fish dishes and there are enough pubs for every day of the week)! Thoroughly recommended!

Our second time in this beautiful cottage, perfectly located at Newlyn harbour. We just love being there. Gord always has the best tips for restaurants, what to do, what to see. This time I did two of his recommended coast path walks and was alone (!) at Land’s End. Thanks for this marvellous week.

Such a beautiful cottage and location

Such a beautifully finished cottage, very well appointed and in a cute location. The town it's in is great, try Eddie's for fish and chips and you must take Cliff Road into Mousehole. Gord was a fantastic, helpful and attentive host. Tight to get a car into the parking spot but all else was wonderful.

We loved our stay here!

Our 5 nights here were more enjoyable than we had imagined. Right from the first communication with Gord we were impressed with the service he offers. The cottage is newly refurbished, well appointed and also well set up to enable us to work for 4 days. We also loved the fresh seafood and nice cafes in Newlyn. We didn't want to leave.

Lovely spot in Newlyn

Great location- walkable to charming shops in Newlyn and a nice walk to Mousehole. Gord was readily available when we had a question about the door lock and was friendly and helpful. The apartment was immaculate and beautifully decorated- cosy and welcoming. We loved our visit and will recommend it to friends traveling to Cornwall.

Awesome spot!

The Basket loft is an ideal spot for checking out the area. Walkable to penzance, mousehole and the St Michael’s mount start but without the traffic and busyness of Penzance. Gord gave us fantastic dinner recommendations and we loved them all. The home is completely stocked with spices, press coffee maker and all the items needed to make meals. The little deck area is a lovely spot for cocktail hour. And Gord was super easy to work with! You will be glad you stayed here

Wonderful spot outside of Penzance!

We had such a wonderful experience at this Harborside cottage. It was clean, had enough room, was a stones throw away from the Harborside boardwalk, and had a lovely coffee house nearby right through the art gallery (Fika). Gord was accessible for questions, and was very helpful. If you get a chance, talk to Pippa and Sophie and get recommendations from them. They directed us to a lovely spot on Sonnen beach. We had everything we needed, and was very comfortable and quiet. I couldn’t recommend any higher.
