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.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, accommodation was very welcoming, well equipped and cosy and the views were amazing. Downside was the road noise. But that said we would book again, we look forward to returning to Newlyn.

We are super pleased to read that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay at The Blue Place and found the property very welcoming. The view certainly is amazing here! The compromise is that it is on a busy road, and as a result of previous feedback, we have included this within the property description so that guests should have a good expectation of this. We are glad that you agreed that it was a small price to pay for such a lovely property and it's great to hear that you would book again. We look forward to seeing you back. Lucy, Customer Services
The Blue Place & aspects holiday were excellent, the views are lovely, clear views of st micheals mount, close to most places popular to visit. We will be using Aspects Holidays again
Mrs Godwin Sep 2020
Well equipped holiday home with amazing views over Newlyn Harbour and Mounts Bay.
Mrs Derrick Sep 2020
We really enjoyed our stay at the Blue Place. The views are outstanding and the house is very well kitted out. Having parking in Newlyn is a must, but be aware that a vw golf will just fit, and no way are you closing the gates. We would definitely recommend this house to friends.

We are glad that you enjoyed this great property. The parking space will fit a small to medium sized car but slightly larger if you leave the gates open, however, it is a little tight to turn into, so we have since made this a little clearer on the website description. We are glad that this still worked well for you and hopefully we will see you and your friends back soon. Lucy, Customer Services
We had a lovely week at Blue Place to celebrate a big birthday Newlyn is a lovely traditional fishing port far more real with less tourists than St Ives Thank you Aspects
Mr Clark Aug 2020
It's a really great little apartment, with fabulous views, and is well equipped and very comfortable. It's a really good location for visiting anywhere in west Cornwall, and Newlyn feels much more like a real place than, for example, St Ives or Carbis Bay. Having visited the area many times in recent years and stayed in various apartments and B & B establishments, we have just returned from our 3rd visit to the Blue Place - and are highly likely to come again.
Dr Brewer Feb 2020
Amazing views from lounge window. very clean and well equipped. The welcome basket is really good with local produce. will feel using Aspect holidays again.
Mrs Miller Oct 2019
A beautiful property in an excellent location with stunning views. These more than offset the road noise and very slow Wifi. There is welcome on-site parking, but would be very tricky for large cars.

Thank you for taking the time to send in your comments; we are glad to hear that you liked The Blue Place and the stunning views. We are sorry to hear that the wifi was running slow during that week; that isn't something that we have ever had reported there before, so we will pass that information on to the property owner and keep a close eye on any further feedback; thanks for letting us know. We have amended the parking details slightly now as well, just to highlight that the space is more suitable for a small to medium size car, though it can fit larger if the gates are left open. Tanya, Customer Services
If you have chosen the Blue Place great decision. First class accommodation, very well equipped with comfortable bed and lovely linens and towels along with the fantastic view of Mount's Bay makes it a real winner. Walking distance from a great cafe, great restaurants and pubs and if you like fish very close to some fantastic fish mongers. What more could you want!
Mrs Piper Sep 2019
Everything! This is a beautifully decorated and well-equipped property with everything you could need for the most relaxing holiday. The views really are stunning and the location is perfect - Newlyn is a beautiful village with lovely people and a perfect jumping off point to explore this part of Cornwall. Do include a visit to the nearby Minack Theatre, you’ll be pleased you did. The Cornish welcome basket is a wonderful touch too! The off-street parking is a fantastic bonus. We really enjoyed our holiday at The Blue Place, it was a perfect place to unwind.
Mrs Lister Aug 2019
Accommodation was excellent, very clean. Outside seating area was good, with a good view towards the harbour and sea, very relaxing. Parking area was small but good that there was parking with the property. Our welcome hamper was a nice touch. Overall a good self catering property. Would stay there again.
Mr Burns Jul 2019
What an awesome place to stay! The view across Mounts Bay is mesmerising. We loved every minute of our holiday and packed a lot in to our seven days, St. Michael’s Mount, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Lizard Point, Land’s End and Holywell Bay were all easily accessible or just a short drive away, we’ve enjoyed coastal path walks too. Everything from the welcome basket on arrival to the end of our stay will be a memory of a lifetime. Thank you Aspects Holidays and The Blue Place.
Mrs Cox May 2019

Mr Richmond May 2019
Loved it. Great position and view over Newlyn. Easy base to explore the West of Cornwall on foot, by bus or car. Very well kitted out and a fantastic place to retreat from everyday life for a week.
Mr Wallbank Apr 2019
Blue Place is a fantastic place to stay in terms of comfort, kit & location; walking up & down so many steep hills is apparently good for you ... But with easy access to so many good quality restaurants, this minor concern fades into obscurity!! Have visited twice already over Christmas & would definitely consider a third stay !!!
