A return visit, after staying in this lovely, comfortable house last year. We (just 2 of us) stayed longer this time and were able to divide our days between sightseeing and just relaxing and enjoying the views from this prime location, overlooking the sea.
We had a lovely meal in The Falmouth Packet Inn at Rosudgeon, which is not much to look at from the front but has a conservatory and beer garden at the back, and very good food. You need to allow lots of time, as the meals are cooked to order. Trebah Gardens are worth a visit, and there is a private beach with lovely views at the bottom of the gardens. For nearby sandy beaches try Porthcurno, Sennen, Praa Sands and Perranuthnoe. The latter has a little crafts centre and cafe, and the Cowhouse Gallery there caters for all pockets with a wide variety of local crafts. A return visit to the Penlee Art Gallery, which is such an interesting small gallery and museum and, during September at least, you don't have to peer over umpteen heads to get a glimpse of the impressive and moving works of the Newlyn artists. However, even at this time of year many of the minor roads were still very busy (perhaps the Poldark and Pilcher effects) with not many lay-bys for admiring the views.
Our best times were definitely spent at the house - watching the seals, dolphins, fishing-boats, wandering into Mousehole, walking to Newlyn, or sitting in the Rock Pool Cafe next door, eating crab sandwiches or enjoying a cocktail. Esme and Rob have created a beautiful and comfortable home, which lacks for nothing, and we would not hesitate to recommend it to anybody.
