Whether exploring or snuggling down and relaxing for a short break, romantic retreat or year round holidays, Harbour Lights is the ideal place.
From surfers to snoozers, sunrise and sunsets, stunning scenery and endless walks, you’re sure to get a dose or some fresh Cornish sea air!
Sheltered in Mounts Bay and moments from the water’s edge, Harbour Lights is a 150-year-old, granite-built, former fisherman’s cottage. With maximum comfort, an open plan design, it is small, cosy, modern and well equipped, whilst retaining its original inglenook fireplace. Although the cottage has no outside space, it has the luxury of a parking bay in the harbour car park adjacent to the cottage. A moments walk from the property lies the harbour wall with views of the boats. .
Newlyn village is a picturesque short walk along the harbour’s edge, where the local fishing fleet land their fresh catch daily. The village has cafés, bakeries, a fishmongers, butcher, supermarket, Cornish pubs and cinema filmhouse, as well as a cheese shop and charcuterie, pizzeria, pasty shop and fish and chip shop, not to metion an art gallery with a café giving panoramic views of the sea and more. . .
Sharing Mounts Bay and within close proximity of each other are Mousehole; Penzance, with its long promenade and heated lido swimming pool; Marazion with mystical St Michael’s Mount. The local bus stop to Mousehole and Penzance is 2 minutes from the cottage.
The Cornish Peninsula has an abundance of places to discover - beautiful beaches and coves, surfing at Sennen, gorgeous Porthcurno and its turquoise water, the magical open-air Minack Theatre overlooking the sea, St Ives, Lands End, the Lizard Peninsula, Porthleven and hidden Lamora Cove. Not forgetting an array of National Trust properties with their stunning gardens, and. . . ssshhh. . . tranquil Penberth Cove, famed as a location for the TV series, ‘Poldark’. Penzance Beach 1/2 mile. Convenience store 200 yards, pub 250 yards, cafés and restaurants 1/4 mile.
A very small cottage with no outside space . Very nicely presented with well thought out design for such small area . Too cramped for a comfortable holiday even when out & about a lot . Quite gloomy outlook from the Windows with only partial / slight view of harbour.
Fantastic place to stay for exploring Cornwall. The cottage had everything we needed and more great to have a designated parking place. Will definitely be returning.
We had a lovely holiday at harbour lights cottage, very clean and tidy. Very comfortable. We took our 13 year old golden retriever with us and he was very relaxed and comfortable too.
A nice little cottage but wold be cramped for more than 2 people. I am over 6' tall and found it a bit on the small side fo rme, but my petite wife was quite happy and highly amused when I got stuck down the side of the bed! Nevertheless it does represent good value for a family and is an easy walk to Mousehole or down to the harbour etc. Supermarkets a short drive (or cycle ride) and the parking is ideal being just opposite in a reserved space (permit provided),
Lovely cosy little cottage in a great location. Everything you needed. Would recommend to family and friends and would definitely return again !!!
This was a lovely cottage, well equipped with comfortable sofas and beds. The location was excellent. It had no garden but there was a green area close by with a bench where you could sit out and watch the boats in the harbour. I don't usually go back to a cottage for a second visit but for Harbour Lights I would defiantly repeat the experience.
A lovely cottage, an ideal base for the many places to visit around the west of Cornwall (and beyond if you don't mind driving) All the equipment you could possibly need (and to be honest quite a bit you wouldn't need ☺) Well appointed, comfy, clean, car parking across the road which is ideal. We are very happy with the choice we made to stay at this delightful cottage, and would do so again without hesitation. Like so many other reviews have mentioned, the Cream tea is a nice touch, thank you.
Just returned from a week's stay at Harbour Lights, couldn't fault any bit. The accommodation was perfect for us and Daisy the Westie. Spotlessly clean, everything you need and brilliant location right across from the harbour. Reserved parking right across the road too which was great. You can walk right from the cottage into Mousehole which took about 25 mins and took in the coastal path and breathtaking views. You can leave your car and walk into Penzance from the cottage which takes you all around the promenade, it takes about half an hour and can stop at the Lugger Inn which has a sea side seating area and views across to St Michael's Mount. We drove all over Cornwall but the highlights were St Ives which was gloriously sunny, Newquay was bustling and the beaches are dog friendly, the locals are so warm and friendly, Porthleven was a surprising find, lovely busy fishing harbour and lots of off the beaten track beaches, you could have been abroad with the perfect white sand and turquoise sea. Newlyn itself has the best ice cream shop and chippy, a seafood cafe, a bakers, a coop that has everything you need, some good pubs and fish market. We didnt want to leave and are planning to return very soon!
A well-maintained cottage in a nice setting, with access to beautiful places such as Lamorna Cove, Lands End, St Michael's Mount, St Ives, and Kynance Cove. Comfortable and clean.
Extremely well presented on opening the door. Being xmas time it was tastefully decorated to a high standard. Pleasantly surprised by the amount of supplies in the kitchen as well as equipment. Overall, the cottage is very clean, comfy, well designed and homely. Couldn't fault on anything.
Our stay January, 2020
Fantastic cottage, I will definitely be going back again
