Cranbrook is a characterful 1930's seaside residence in the popular fishing village of Newlyn, near Penzance. This spacious family home is in a fantastic location for exploring the local area with stunning views of Newlyn harbour. The house is a 5 minute walk from the local pebbly beach, Newlyn harbour and the promenade to Penzance - perfect for relaxing walks by the sea. This house is perfect for families or groups of friends.
Cranbrook is a family home rather than solely a holiday let and as such any family or group of friends will find our house a home away from home with everything you need in a fabulous location! As this is our home you will find it particularly well equipped - the kitchen boasts all the usual appliances plus a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier, blender, whole fruit juicer and rice cooker! In the lounge you will find many DVDs, books and games - please feel free to use any of these during your stay. The main accommodation is all on one level with the new studio at ground level- the attic is private for owners storage. I have recently had a private drive built to provide secure off street parking for one car.
Newlyn is a charming fishing village with all the necessary amenities including butchers, bakers, pharmacy, fruit and veg shop, flower shop, artisan cheese shop and a local Co-op. Newlyn also boasts a wide range of excellent restaurants to suit all tastes including the famous local Meadery family restaurant, Pizza Patio - local Italian food and fish and the Tolcarne Inn run by Michelin star chef Ben Tunnicliff as well as several traditional local pubs.
