Harbour View Bed & Breakfast Newlyn directly overlooks Newlyn Harbour and Mount's Bay. It is a traditional Cornish mid terrace house built about 1860 which has in its time been a bootmaker's shop, a post office, an hotel, a restaurant and now a guest house.

It is situated directly on the harbourside of the vibrant working fishing harbour of Newlyn in an elevated position with outstanding sea/harbour views in all directions. If water, walking and fishing is your thing, then this is the place to come. Where else can you sit in your room and have 180 degrees of sea and harbour in front of you to watch? Yet you are close to restaurants, pubs and shops - the nearest pub is 4 doors away.

We are on the coast road between Penzance and Mousehole in the South West of Cornwall. Penzance, with the main train/bus/coach station and taxi rank is just 2 miles away, with a bus route directly here (Newlyn Red Lion stop).

The lifeboat departs from here - there is gig racing (traditional Cornish wooden boats), the beam trawlers and crabbers are in and out all the time. The village of Newlyn is 300 yards down the hill. Newlyn is England's largest fishing port and home of the historic Newlyn painting School.

It has a wonderfully friendly community spirit with plenty of colourful characters, pubs and attractions. You can watch the fish being landed on the quay, and sold in the fish market early morning.

West Cornwall is an area of outstanding natural beauty and has many fine sandy beaches and rocky coves. The scenery varies from wooded valleys to wild moorland and rugged cliffs. It is an area rich in history with stone circles and megaliths, and the engine houses of the tin-mining era. It is famous for its art galleries, festivals, craft shops and potteries and splendid sub-tropical gardens.

Local places of interest include St Michael's Mount, Land's End, Sennen, St Ives, the Lizard peninsular, the Helford River, the Tate Gallery (St Ives), the Minack Theatre (Porthcurno), and many small picturesque villages such as Mousehole and Lamorna just down the road. Penzance is also the departure point for the Isles of Scilly either by boat, helicopter or by air.
