Small, but perfectly formed cottage
Overall, a 5 star experience. A very sweet, bijou & well presented cottage, a short walk from Newlyn’s amenities & excellent eateries and, within walking distance of Mousehole. The cottage has a wood-burning stove, supplied with a generous basket of logs, though we topped up with our own supply - it heated the place quickly and made it very cosy. The newly refurbished shower was excellent, with a plentiful supply of hot water, with good pressure. Whilst there was very restricted access to the bed (not helped by the extra wide foot board), the bedroom had a roomy dressing area with plenty of space for hanging clothes and storing bags out of the way. The bed was very comfortable and such a pleasure to sleep on Egyptian cotton bedding. The kitchen had everything needed to self-cater, though we were somewhat bemused by the draining board that drained water straight onto the floor! Communication from the hosts was excellent. A very enjoyable stay!

Newlyn cottage
We loved the fact that Newlyn was less touristy and an easy walk to Mousehole which is very pretty and unspoilt. Two local pubs we both great. The cottage was perfect for our needs but don’t expect the bed area to be spacious.

Simply Wonderful...
Me an my partner wanted to escape the bussle of London and enjoy stunning views and great food especially with him being a chef. We couldn't of picked a more perfect location in Winslow Cottage and Newlyn. I have got to say Winslow Cottage is even better in real life the photo's dont do it justice, it is clean, refreshingly bright and tastefully decorated and the views especially in the morning are just WOW. It is a short stroll into the harbour which has some fabulous local seafood restaurants including, Mackeral Sky, Argoe and The Tolcarne Inn. Tourism definitely hasnt hit Newlyn like other areas such as St Ives, which makes it all that bit better for a nice relaxing break. If you fancy a stroll there are fantastic local villages such as Mousehole which you can easily walk or ride too an has has stunning coastal paths finishing up at a quaint little sea-side town with lovely places to eat and the other way is St Michaels Mount which is absolutely stunning. All in all, I would absolutely recommend my only regret is not booking longer.

Awesome mini break
Our stay at Winslow Cottage was everything we hoped for. We wanted a quiet place to relax away from reality. The cottage was tastefully decorated and we loved the wood burner in the lounge. The only negative is we only had 3 days there. We would rent the cottage again in the future.

Stay here - you'll be glad you did!
I stayed at Winslow Cottage as a solo guest, wanting some peace and quiet, but wanting the option of access to Newlyn centre (5 minutes walk) when I fancied it and easy availability to Penzance and Mousehole as well (bus stop to both literally one minute from front door). My stay has been perfect, with Mark and Fiona being welcoming but unobtrusive, checking I was safely in, then leaving me in peace as they knew I was wanting a quiet break, but answering quickly when I ask for a cafe recommendation. I've had plenty of walks, sea gazing out at the harbour (one minute walk), watching the boats from upstairs, there's a telescope if that's your thing, and just sitting in cafes with the paper, before coming back to my lovely 2 storey home from home. Beautifully decorated with real care for style and comfort - there's loads of room and it feels really spacious as the cottage is not overstuffed with knickknacks, just tastefully observed. The kitchen has everything a cook could wish for (I'm not one, but I appreciate it!) and the woodburning stove in the sitting room was a real treat in October. As for the shower, huge, blissful, and you will struggle not to have three a day just so you can use it more! In a word - stay!

Beautiful and very well considered property. Could not have asked for more - even had a terrestrial telescope for looking across the bay. The absolute BEST sunrises and peace for the mind and body.

Newlyn Bay
Property was amazing. Well decorated and everything you need. Did not expect to pay for car parking and also paying for parking did not necessarily secure a saved spot. Recommended car park would of been ok but the harbour master was not available until after the weekend. Newlyn itself was ok. Limited with places to eat.

Winslow Cottage. Newlyn
A well positioned and comfortable house just 55 strides from a car park, (which you can’t see as it’s around the corner.) We like staying in ‘real’ places not just holiday resorts and Newlyn didn’t disappoint. Hosts attentive without being intrusive, highly recommended.

Wonderful stay in Winslow Cottage,Newlyn
The cottage was very clean, and immaculate in its presentation. There was a lovely welcome tray, with coffee,teas, biscuits and bubbly - for a special birthday. Waking up in the morning to a view over the bay to St Michael’s Mount was wonderful. Overall we would definitely visit again.

Winslow Cottage was a beautiful place to stay during our recent visit to Cornwall. The view over Newlyn Harbour and out to the sea beyond was stunning and the cottage itself was very pleasant to stay in. The decor and amenities were great and we appreciated all the little touches, including the welcome basket and humour of book titles in the cottage. The location was ideal and we enjoyed walks along to Mousehole, Newlyn and Penzance. We appreciated that parking with a permit was located within a short walking distance to the cottage and that there were closer options at a reasonable price if we preferred. Mark and Fiona kept us informed and updated throughout the run up to, and during our stay. Although we couldn't take them up on the offer, we really appreciated them offering a longer stay when a cancellation took place before our visit. We will definitely be back and hope to stay in the cottage again next time!

Beautiful cottage.
What a beautiful cottage with all the home comforts. The welcome bottle of wine was just what we needed after the long drive. Lovely view across the bay from the large bedroom early morning cuppa with a view. We had a lovely stay exploring the local area, Penzance and Mousehole are only a short walk away. Couldn't recommend it more as a great base to explore the wonders of Cornwall. Parking was easy and only few minutes walk from the cottage.

Winslow Cottage is a beautiful and very cozy cottage. We loved every minute here. The house is lovely decorated. The location is also excellent as you are close enough to walk to restaurants, beaches, and sights by foot, yet it is located in a quiet, secure neighborhood with great sea views. Overall: Perfect!

Beautiful and relaxing
Winslow Cottage was love at first sight! It's a wonderful place to spend at least one week in Newlyn and Cornwall's West Coast. The Cottage was unbelievable cosy, comfortable and tastefully furnished. To see St Michael's Mount and Mounts Bay every day was a great plesure for us. We had plenty of walks, more than once especially on Penzance Promenade and parts of the South West Coast Path. Using the Go Corwall App is highly recommended. E.g. we went to St Michael's Mount, Porthcurno, Mousehole and St Ives by Bus. That's very relaxing :-), not going by car during the week... Enjoyed our stay very much. It was fabulous! We would come back to Winslow Cottage at any time.
