What a find

Herbert Cottage is right in the middle of everything Newlyn, an active yet picturesque fishing village with great restaurants & cafe has to offer. Just a short stroll to Penzance &short car rides to all the lhighlights it’s really well situated. Although centrally located it’s peaceful & quiet with everything you could want. Lenn was a great host

Lovely quirky cottage

The cottage is well located, lovely and quiet (despite being close to the main road through Newlyn). It is very spacious for two people and has all the facilities and equipment you could need. Lots of useful information supplied by the host ahead of check-in. Would definitely recommend.

Newlyn cottage in June

Nice location between Penzance and Mousehole. Very clean and had everything needed for all kitchen cooking. Sweet patio off sunroom. Many good restaurants near by, and good starting point for walks. Be awarer of steps up to bedroom and bath. We're in our late 60s and did fine but some folks might have trouble. We'd stay here again!

Sehr schönes Häuschen

Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Haus ist gemütlich und hat einen schönen kleinen Innenhof. Das einzige Manko ist, dass es im Badezimmer praktisch keine Ablage gibt. Die Lage ist sehr günstig, auch wenn man ohne Auto unterwegs ist. Wir haben auch viele gute Tipps für Unternehmungen und Restaurants bekommen, was sehr hilfreich war. Insgesamt war der Aufenthalt in der Fischerhütte sehr schön.

Beautiful Cornwall

Loved all the art! The kitchen was just like being at home. Lovely sunroom and courtyard area. The bed was super comfy and the claw foot bath/shower was novel. The cottage is in a great position for seafood restaurants and walks along the coast.

A lovely little cottage in a lovely little spot.

The cottage was a charming little space, beautifully decorated and cozy, located a pleasant thirty-minute walk along the coastal path away from Penzance proper. It was a wonderful haven to return to after a day's tromping around the beaches and ports of Penzance and St. Ives, a delightful little home-away-from home. I'd happily stay here again.

Home away from home with a special something!

Unigue property with an ideal location for anyone looking to sample life in coastal Cornwall. The cottage has it all : an owner with intimate knowledge of Newlyn and Penzance, a delightful space with no touch missing- from wickedly entertaining artwork to cozy charm, situated right beside the exceptional Cornish bus system and excellent local shops supplying fresh produce and the freshest, tastiest fish available, great eating places on the doorstep, and a kitchen wanting for naught! I stayed a month and wish it had been longer. Restful, restorative, a perfect get- away that is private but close to all.

Herbert Cottage is a Work of art!

I loved my stay at Herbert Cottage. Sunny conservatory overlooking well tended plant filled garden, gorgeous art throughout, stylish and absolutely spotless. Perfect location to explore surrounding area with no need for a car. Wonderful recommendations, clear communication and Immediate response to questions from Lenn.

Charming cottage in Newlyn

This is a very cute cottage. It is very well equipped especially in the kitchen. The hosts are very helpful. Many restos nearby. The front door is up a small alley and you have to unload on a busy street. This can be done quite easily and then you park around the corner 5 mins away. The only caution I have is that if you have difficulty walking the stairs could be challenging.

Thank you for a great holiday!

Such a locely house to stay in - comfortable, quirky, fun and relaxing. Newlyn is a lovely place to stay, and there are so many other great places nearby. We want to come again so we can investigate more! We will be back! Not only this, but Lenn was brilliantly helpful at every point - couldn't have asked for a better property manager. Thank you... and see you again soon hopefully!

A cottage of great taste

A quirky little cottage. Although it is small the rooms are all a good size. It well equipped to allow a comfortable stay. The owners taste is stamped on ever room but is friendly and welcoming rather than intimidating. It is a great base to explore this part of Cornwall with good walks. Perfect for visitors who want to be ‘out and doing’ as the downstairs only has windows onto the courtyard garden so not a place to sit and watch the world go by. The owner is charming and helpful and provides some great advice and what to do and where to go.

Comfort amongst the fishes!

Coming back each evening to this charming, quirky and well appointed property with so many artistic delights, and comfortable furnishings helped to make our two weeks in this part of Cornwall even more memorable. Loved the fish inspired conservatory and pretty garden, both great places to sit and 'chill' at the end of a day's coastal path walking. Great little cinema round the corner too!

Cosy but spacious seaside cottage

We found the cottage due to the excellent directions given by our host, up a small alleyway off the main street. The cottage had everything we needed and more. It had plenty of room but was cosy as well on those wet dreary evenings in autumn. I loved to sit and read in the small courtyard garden. The kitchen was well stocked and had every utensil imaginable. The location was ideal for Newlyn and just a short walk along the coast from Penzance, bus stop 10 paces from the front door. We enjoyed a meal at the local film house before the film. Also enjoyed the homemade ice-cream next door to the cottage. Local pubs were friendly and welcoming as was everyone we met in Cornwall. Would definitely visit again.

Charme und Stil

Das Cottage hat mit seinem Alter einen schönen, ursprünglichen Charme. Jeden Tag kann man neue Kunstschätze in der sehr persönlichen Einrichtung entdecken. Das Cottage ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man für einen entspannten und schönen Aufenthalt braucht, z.B.bequemes Bett, gut ausgestattete Küche, Badezimmer mit Badewanne, gemütlicher Innenhofgarten. Die Lage ist sehr zentral. Ein Supermarkt, tolle Spezialitätengeschäfte und empfehlenswerte Restaurants sind zu Fuß in wenigen Minuten zu erreichen.Der Kontakt zu Lenn war bereits im Vorfeld sehr gut und er versorgte uns mit vielen Tipps für Unternehmungen in der Gegend. Der Check-in kann selbstständig erfolgen, wir hatten aber das Glück, Lenn persönlich kennenzulernen! Auch während unseres Aufenthaltes war er immer erreichbar und kümmerte sich sehr individuell um unsere Wünsche und Fragen! Ein kleine Herausforderung für die Geduld ist die Parksituation in den engen und vollen Straßen. Dennoch war der Urlaub in Herbert Cottage ein tolles Erlebnis und ist absolut zu empfehlen. Danke!
