If you were looking for cottages like Lowenhe, how about trying these:

Set in an elevated position, just off the road in the seaside fishing port of Newlyn, this traditional fisherman's cottage boasts some beautiful features including wooden floorboards, original ornamental fireplaces and characterful ceilings. Lowenhe (Cornish for happy and delightful) is a perfect combination of Cornish charm, contemporary comfort, with a welcoming and relaxing feel throughout - a real home-from-home.

Walking through the garden gate (up six granite steps) taking in the fresh sea air and sound of the gulls overhead, you immediately get the sense you're on holiday. Step into the hallway complete with original floor tiles and enter the open plan living area. It is a welcoming and social space; a small step leads into the light and airy kitchen which is the perfect place for cooking up a feast with the local catch of the day, or why not cosy up in front of the wood-burner with a good book or movie.

Ideal for couples or small families alike, we won't leave out your four-legged friend as doggies are most welcome at Lowenhe.

Up the stairs, which are narrow and steep in places (very common in character Cornish cottages, especially on the small landing), the bedrooms are furnished with coastal blues, calm creams and greys and combine this with the quality bedding, you are sure to have a good night's sleep. The stylish bathroom has a wonderful roll-top bath which is just the perfect spot for a long soak after a day's activities.

Outside the property there is a lovely terrace which has the most amazing view of the busy fishing harbour below - where better to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine, watching the fishing boats come and go as the sun moves over the iconic St Michael's Mount.
