“The Swordfish Inn strikes me as a genuinely welcoming pub with rooms, situated in the busy fishing port of Newlyn. Its clean, comfortable rooms, some offering harbor views, and dog-friendly policy are definite advantages. While parking can be tricky and noise from the lively pub may reach some rooms, the overall experience seems positive, especially given its proximity to local amenities and transport links.”

Authentic Stay with Excellent Breakfast
comfortable bed delicious breakfast perfect schedule
The location is advantageous for exploring, also it allows convenient travel using local buses and taxis.. I was pleased our room, Cribba, exceeded my size expectations and included a comfortable king bed. Breakfast at 8:30 AM was perfect for our hiking schedule. the English breakfast was really delicious.
The pub area was quite noisy late into the evening due to loud music. Rowdy individuals outside near our bedroom made it hard for quietness.

Somewhat noisy stay near the harbour
loud music noisy room
The breakfast was satisfactory.
Our room was located above the pub and it was MUCH too noisy. There was loud music until late. This made it hard to sleep. I think guests need to be told about the music before they book.

Charming Stay Near the Harbour
excellent breakfast comfortable bed king sized bed larger room
I found the English breakfast excellent. It fit perfectly with my hiking schedule. The room assigned to me, Cribba, was larger than I expected. The king sized bed added to the comfort.
The wine seemed slightly overpriced during one evening at the bar.
