HOUSE: A spectacularly situated detached 4 bedroomed 1930’s house. Located in a grandstand elevated position above Newlyn with mesmerising views out over the entirety of Mounts Bay from Newlyn Harbour and Penzance seafront to St Michael’s Mount. LOCATION Newlyn has a very active harbour and fish market as well as a good selection of shops and a beach overlooking Mounts Bay. Newlyn has an ever improving range of services including an excellent delicatessen, grocer, various restaurants and inns, as well as the acclaimed Newlyn Filmhouse Cinema. Penzance has the widest selection of shops and facilities in the west of Cornwall, including a full range of schooling, museums, a hospital, supermarket many well known high street retailers. A couple of miles to the south of Newlyn is the picturesque harbourside village of Mousehole and beyond this is Lamorna Cove made famous by its potters. Newlyn is well known for its fishing fleet but also for the Newlyn School of Art and is still regarded as an artist’s hub today with many studios and galleries throughout the village. Between Penzance and Marazion are long sandy beaches which conclude at the tidal foot causeway to St Michael’s Mount. There are many other beaches and coves to explore around the local area as well as the South West Coast Path and many inland walks through the beautiful rugged countryside. To the north are the surfing beaches around St Ives, also renowned for its artist’s community. Access to the area is excellent either by road on the A30 expressway which is mostly dual carriageway all the way from the motorway network at Exeter or via train from Penzance where there is a mainline terminus. OUTSIDE To the front of the property is a stone paved parking area for 1-2 cars. More area of lawn bounded by walls and plethora of plants and shrubs. To the rear of the property there is an enclosed courtyard with space for table and chairs to enjoy the evening sun. Accessed via the first floor there is a large roof terrace which enjoys the best of the views into Newlyn harbour, out to sea towards the Lizard Peninsula, St Michael’s Mount, entirety of Marazion, Penzance and rolling countryside beyond.

Feed the cat (we have a plate of dry food out all the time, needs to be topped up every couple of days). Make sure they always have enough water. They go to the bathroom mainly in the garden, but occasionally use the cat-box so that would need to be cleaned every week or two (if used). Indoor plants may need watering.

Loved looking after Dot and Ida in this fabulous spot high up over Mounts Bay. Everything was great with arrangements and communication and the cats were great, easy, chatty companions. You need to be fit to walk up from the harbour though but it’s definitely worth it. Thanks for having me

This was a lovely sit. Sadly I didn't get to meet Caroline and Mike as they had left 3 days before I arrived. Communication was very easy throughout, which was a good job as, when I arrived, the house was very cold, and a little damp, and I discovered there was no heating or hot water! Mike was very quick to respond and was able to get a friend round that evening who got the hot water working, and a plumber came out a couple of days later to fix the heating. Ida and Dot are very friendly cats, and huge purrers, but not really lap lovers. Dot wants to be with you wherever you are, whereas Dot has her favourite spots in the house but will still join you occasionally. Both love zooming around the house which is amusing. They are very easy to look after. The house is high up with the most amazing views over Newlyn towards Penzance. The Cornwall coastline is stunning and there are lots of great walks in the area, and lots of outdoor swimming opportunities, especially in Penzance. Thank you Caroline and Mike. I had a great time and would happily return.

We had such a great sit looking after the adorable Dot and Ida. They are the cutest girls and love to cuddle up and have a stroke. Communication with Caroline and Mike was fabulous throughout. Their home is lovely, comfortable and has the most amazing views of the coast, harbours and St Michaels Mount. There is so much to do in the local area, we enjoyed walking the coastal path, visiting Penzance and Newlyn. We loved the Creamy Chicken pasties from Warrens Bakery, totally recommended. If you are remote workers like ourselves, the Wi-Fi connection is strong and reliable and the space for working is great. We would love to look after Dot and Ida in the future and highly recommend this sit. Thanks for having us.

I had the most relaxing time staying at Caroline and Mike’s beautiful home in Newlyn looking after Ida and Dot. The cats were very laid back and loved cuddling up on the sofa in the evenings. Dot was very sweet and followed me about the house most of the time. I also loved Ida’s very sassy personality rolling over wanting to be pet. Everything was explained really well before arriving with lots of recommendations of what to see and do in the local area which was really helpful. The hill up to the house from the town is steep but definitely worth it for the views! I would recommend Caroline and Mike’s place to anyone wanting to recharge and unwind in a beautiful setting.
