Kara Cottage is a lovely 1 bedroom location. Communication with hosts Mark and Fiona was excellent and directions were explicit. A great little place to stay while exploring the south west corner of Cornwall.

Fishermans Cottage

A lovely well thought out and equipped cottage just a short walk away from the working harbour of Newlyn. Ideal position for Lands End and St Michaels Mount.

Delightful.

Absolutely adorable little cottage, spotlessly clean and a lovely welcome pack. Nice area with lovely walks and great pubs. The only negative is lack of parking however, that is all outlined in the description when booking, so we were aware of it. Fantastic communications with the owners/managers. Very competitively priced, we would definitely book again.

A Room With a View

It is a lovely cottage and ideally situated for visiting other parts of Cornwall but it is up an incline and there were no views from any of the windows.

Kara cottage is situated in the district known as the Fradgens. This historical area once fronted the harbour and was the heart of the fishing village. The streets some of which are inclined some being cobbled add to the mystery and quaintness of old Newlyn which is now cocooned behind the modernised harbour. This area still holds a wealth of true life in a working Cornish fishing village.

Poor location ie no parking facility

Advertised with enclosed garden which was a small wooden floored area and not a very pleasant place to sit and relax. The parking was terrible no where to park had to find a long stay car park for overnight parking every day which was costly.

Late break in Newlyn

Never been to Newlyn - but was looking for a 4 night break in Cornwall. Great communication by owners before we arrived and found the property easily from their instructions. Beautiful cottage for 2 adults. Couldn’t fault it.

Quirky Cottage

Lovely clean and well equiped fishermans cottage in the heart of Newlyn. Well positioned for exploring the southern most tip of Cornwell,with some nice cafe,pubs and restaurants on your door step. Within walking distance of Penzance for a nice evening stroll.

Kara Cottagge.

The cottage tucked away at the end of a lane near the harbour exceeded its online photos. The place was spotless and comfortable. Its Newlyn a real place with real people and not over run with us tourists. An ideal base to explore all West Cornwall has to offer. Use the bus service instead of driving. Well done Mark and Fiona.

A perfect location

When we arrived at the cottage first impressions were excellent. It is in a central but quiet location in Newlyn which has added interest because it is a large working port as well as a holiday location. The cottage was spotless, tastefully decorated and had everything we needed including a very comfortable bed. The location is perfect if you want to explore West Penrith as anywhere on the peninsula is in easy reach. There is also a surprising good bus service too if you want to abandon your car. We had a short 3 night break and came home very happy and feeling we had had a marvellous time, full of a great variety of activities.
