Bodillys Cottage

Tucked away down a quiet alley just moments from Newlyn's historic harbour, Bodilly's Cottage is a charming traditional fisherman's cottage perfectly placed for discovering the beauty of Cornwall's coastline. Sleeping up to four guests, this delightful retreat is ideal for couples, friends, or a small family seeking a relaxing coastal getaway. Blending traditional character with modern comforts, the cottage welcomes you into a cosy open-plan living space, where exposed wooden beams and a warming woodburning stove create a wonderfully inviting atmosphere. The inviting sitting area provides the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring the Cornish coast. The well-equipped kitchen has everything needed for a self-catered stay, including an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, and air fryer, making it easy to prepare everything from quick breakfasts to hearty evening meals. A separate utility area in the rear garden houses a convenient washer/dryer. Enjoy meals together around the dining table or step outside into the raised courtyard garden. A true rarity in Newlyn, where outdoor space is often at a premium, the garden provides a wonderful spot to enjoy your morning coffee, an alfresco meal, or an evening drink in the fresh Cornish air. Upstairs, accessed via a traditional steep and narrow staircase, are two beautifully presented bedrooms comprising a king-size room and a bunk bedroom. Decorated in a light coastal style, both rooms offer bright and peaceful spaces in which to unwind after a day of adventure. Completing the accommodation is a contemporary shower room. Step outside and you’ll find yourself in the heart of Newlyn, with the harbour just a stone's throw away. As England's third-largest fishing port, Newlyn is rich in maritime heritage, offering picturesque waterfront walks, excellent seafood restaurants, independent shops, galleries, and cafés. Visit the renowned Newlyn School of Art, stroll along the harbour's historic quay, or simply watch the fishing boats come and go. Outdoor enthusiasts will be perfectly placed to explore the spectacular South West Coast Path and the Mousehole to Marazion cycle route, with opportunities to spot local wildlife along the way, including dolphins, seals, and a variety of seabirds. The beaches of the area are within easy reach, while coastal waters provide excellent conditions for watersports and fishing. The picturesque village of Mousehole is within walking distance, boasting its charming harbour and quaint streets, while the popular destination of St Ives is just a short drive away, home to the celebrated Tate St Ives, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, stunning beaches, and breathtaking coastal scenery. For a memorable Cornish escape in a prime harbourside location, Bodilly's Cottage offers the perfect base for exploring everything this beautiful corner of the county has to offer.
