Sadly not suitable for children or pets

The space
Argel Byghan is a small, quirky attic annex-apartment with a mid-century style. This hillside apartment has its own independent access and parking (please see 'Access' section for further details and restrictions). In Cornish, Argel Byghan means Little Retreat
It is suitable for a single person or couple who want to explore the fantastic beaches, villages, ancient sites, restaurants and bars that Penwith has to offer. The apartment is ideally suited to students of Newlyn School of Art, which is a few yards along the road.
The property features a stylish and sheltered top-floor patio garden, which is a perfect sun-trap for morning coffee or alfresco dining. The garden has shared access via a private gate to the lower floors, used by your host's household (and cats!) but no-one else. The garden is for your private use and enjoyment except for access requirements.

Guest access
At the property,
Access is via a private front door, across an attic-level wooden bridge. There are multiple steps to access the property.
There is a small dedicated guest parking area in front of the apartment, but the access is tricky and not suitable for large vehicles or ones with a low chassis. There is plenty of free parking on the main road if the access lane is unsuitable for your vehicle. It is a narrow, unmade track up a steep hill and requires the first couple of yards driven in reverse and therefore is suitable only for confident drivers. See pictures in listing. There are an abundance of countryside and coastal walks from the property, as well as a 30 minute walk into the main town if Penzance. The property is 5 minutes walk from the centre of Newlyn village. Parking during the summer months for beaches and tourist attractions can be quite tricky in the most popular Cornish towns and villages but there are good public transport links. Regular buses serve Newlyn to Lands End and trains run from Penzance. For busy towns like St Ives, taking the scenic train is the best way to arrive.

Other things to note
The apartment is an attic conversion in a terraced town house of various bohemian creative types. Your housemates at number 8 include Bing (chef and landscape gardener), Kerry (digital and illustrative artist) and Eleanor (your host and crafter). We all hope you enjoy your stay with us. :)
The apartment is halfway up a steep hill, 5 minutes walk from the village centre. See 'Access' for details and limitations of the free parking at the property.
