The Station Flat, ST NEWLYN EAST

Rated 5/50 by Ronald N on 25th June 2017

"The surprisingly spacious and well fitted out flat is above the ticket office of The Lappa Valley Steam Railway.It was fun having breakfast and viewing small steam trains from the window.There are 2 good sized bedrooms and the open plan kitchen,diner,lounge is L-shaped and roomy with 2 comfortable sofas.The wi-fi is good and reliable though the phone signal is virtually non existent. The setting is great and the peace and quiet in the evening is blissful.Also there is no light pollution giving good views of the night sky on a clear night. We found all locations we wanted easily and did not find the narrow lanes any problem at all.Also you have your own designated parking space. Included in the rental is free usage of all the attractions railways(3 of them) and other facilities which are mainly child oriented. Also it is dog friendly. A great place to stay."

"This was a last minute (no, really!) booking. Having been let down by where we were meant to stay for a week, we were really lucky to find somewhere so close and so comfortable. The Station flat is well equipped, tastefully furnished and decorated in a light, modern style. It's isolated, rural location could be described as idyllic (with pond, cute wildlife, shady trees, grassy areas). However, the narrow, winding 3 mile journey from the main road can seem a lot further in the dark and the lack of street lights - or any lights to guide you from the car park to the building in fact - is a little spooky until you get in range of the floodlights' sensors. Once inside, though, it's cosy, with plenty of lights! If you look outside after dark, that is all you see! Darkness and nothing else - weird! The flat is within the grounds of The Lappa Valley Railway, to which you have complimentary use of all the (mostly child orientated) facilities. So, great if you have little ones. The park closes at 4:15, so you aren't disturbed by noise or people after that. If it was our property, we'd have a more secure lock on the front door, especially with the isolated location, and lack of street lights. I'm also glad I took my coffee maker. The other (only slightly) minus points are no milk jug, lack of serving dishes, a few small cobwebs and a bit of mould in the shower. The cold water pipes get noisy in the morning too, but that was quite quirky. We were very satisfied, even with the mix up over when we had to be out, and the lack of phone signal."

"Clean warm and very peaceful quite remote but lots of walks, staff very helpful, a long walk up the hill to the village but shops and pub very good, making the walk back down the hill less noticeable,"

"We had the best holiday in this lovely apartment in St Newlyn East. This is the perfect place for families with young children as you have full use of the park facilities. Our son loved watching the trains getting ready every morning. The apartment is fantastic with everything you need in there. It's in a lovely part of the country, very quiet, wonderful views and is very spacious. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Very central to a lot of other places in Cornwall that are great to visit. Our son can't wait until his next visit there."
