We had the most wonderful stay at High Mountains. It was the perfect place for a short break. Thoroughly impressed with how well equipped the property was, very cosy and homely. Location was lovely and easy to access other areas of South Cornwall. I would certainly recommend booking through Aspect Holidays and staying at this property.

Newlyn Harbour
Experience the buzz of a thriving, hardworking harbour and taste the freshest fish on offer in Cornwall. The harbour is overlooked by white washed and granite Cornish fisherman’s cottages interwoven by narrow lanes and cobbled alleys often too steep or narrow for a car so all you will find is the odd cat basking in the sunshine. Enjoy the buzz of Newlyn’s working harbour, visit Newlyn Art Gallery or the wonderful established gardens with breath-taking views across to the iconic Penzance Jubilee Pool.
Newlyn Art Community
The Newlyn School is a group of artists who came to live and work in Newlyn or the surrounding area between the 1880s and the early twentieth century. They painted en plein air (in the open air). Perhaps best known are: Stanhope Forbes, Elizabeth Forbes, Walter Langley, Harold Knight, Laura Knight, Harold Harvey. There is much documentation about the school at Penlee House.
The collection is kept at Penlee House rather than the Newlyn Gallery because Newlyn Gallery maintains a tradition of showing modern art.
Newlyn Gallery & Exchange Gallery in Penzance Town Centre host the best of conceptual and modern art. Together with St. Ives Tate and Penlee House the four galleries host major national and international exhibitions, as well as showing the work of the Newlyn School of Art, who offer a wide range of high quality art courses run by some of the most exciting artists in the region. Read more about art classes at Newlyn school of art on our blog. Thus the area which has inspired so many artists celebrates its artistic heritage while maintaining strong links with the art world of today.
Things to do near Newlyn
While self catering in Newlyn, why not leave the car behind and take the gorgeous mile-long walk along the promenade to the famous harbour town of Penzance. With the backdrop of Mounts Bay, St Michael’s Mount glistens in the distance, with the Isles of Scilly just a short boat trip away. To indulge your inner shopperholic you'll find a whole host of shops in the town centre. Our tip would be to pay a visit to the famous Chapel Street for some great independent shops - and then relax in one of the town’s many cafes and bars.
Trereife Manor House & Gardens
Located on the outskirts of Newlyn, Trereife Estate offers a great day out, with a centuries old manor set amongst beautiful gardens. Stop off at the Stableyard Cafe for a quick bite or cup of coffee after a day at the beach, or enjoy the stunning surroundings at your own pace. Well worth a visit on a sunny day.

Tom Bawcock's Eve, Mousehole
The tradition of Tom Bawcock comes from the feast or famine lifestyle of Cornwall. The story goes that it was just before Christmas; there had been no fish for weeks, the boats couldn’t get out into the raging storm, the village was starving. One man, Tom Bawcock, dared to take his boat out of the harbour’s safety. He returned with enough fish to make fish pie for the whole village.
Today, a festival takes place each year to celebrate Tom Bawcock's bravery. During the festival, Star Gazey pies are eaten in memory of this famous event.

The house is beautiful and is in a gorgeous location right by the harbour. It is a nice walk along the sea to Penzance where you can get the train. Would 100% recommend staying here for a lovely trip in Cornwall.
Miss Nash Apr 2019
It is possible to walk into Penzance and Mousehole - both great places to visit. On the bus route as well so not always necessary to take the car every day. Lovely cottage and plenty of room for six people - would recommend to friends and family as a great place to stay.

Great get away in the heart of Newlyn. Beautifully decorated and furnished. Do yourself a favour and try it......only not when we want to come back!
Mr Webber Oct 2017
We thoroughly enjoyed our family stay at High Mountains. With the centre of Newlyn or short walk away and Mousehole down the road the location provided for a quiet, relaxing holiday. The cottage was found to be well equipped, bright and airy. With plenty of room for all the family. Waking up to the sunrises over the harbour are a delight.
