Overview
Property code: OC-B611386

This two-bedroomed fisherman's cottage in Marazion offers couples and small families wide-reaching sea views across Mounts Bay, with St. Michael's Mount taking centre stage – a spot to watch the lights glowing at night along the coast. Marazion is an ancient market town home to a vast sandy beach where you can walk for miles, discovering rock formations with the gentle lapping tide that recedes towards the Mount. The island has a crescent harbour and an ancient castle nestled in wooded slopes.


Inside, the open-plan living and dining space on the ground floor features twin generous two-seater sofas, a Smart TV, an electric fire and sweeping sea views. A Scandi-style table and four chairs complete the dining area. The separate, well-equipped kitchen includes a filter coffee machine. A washing machine and freezer sit in an original outhouse next to the back door, and a restored outbuilding houses a hot beach shower. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a king-size bed with views of St. Michael's Mount and the surrounding bay. The second bedroom also has a king-size bed, which can be made into a twin, with good views of the mount. A spacious bathroom with a freestanding bath sits adjacent on the first floor, alongside a contemporary shower room and a separate cloakroom. Outside, a decked patio up fairly steep steps from the kitchen catches the afternoon sun. There is no parking at the property, but free on-street parking is available nearby, with easy access for luggage drop-off at the front door.


Travelling to St. Michael's Mount is almost as much fun as exploring the island – walk the ancient stone causeway at low tide, or catch a National Trust boat when the tide is in. The South West Coast Path offers a flat, paved promenade from Marazion to Penzance – around 3 miles – with sculptures along the way. Penzance itself is home to the Art Deco Jubilee Pool and independent delis. A park and ride at nearby St. Erth connects to St. Ives via a scenic branch-line train, and the Coastal Hopper bus stops opposite the cottage for car-free exploring.

Overall the cottage is very nice and very well equipped with everything you need and the view from the bedrooms is fantastic. If your tall you might struggle with the shower, I'm only 5ft 5inch and I still had to tilt my head slightly under the shower head as the ceiling is quite low However there are a few issues that guests need to be aware of Read more1. The cleaning was not up to standard, when we arrived and went outside to have a look at the sun deck we found loads of dog poo left by the very selfish previous occupant which had been missed by the cleaner. We cleared it up and messaged the cleaner who to be fair too her did turn up a few hours later with a bag of local goodies to apologise. However towards the end of the holiday we noticed the blue cushions on the settees were covered in little white dog hairs and there were large clumps of dog hair around the skirting boards. 2. The Mrs spent all week sneezing like something was affecting her, it was only towards the end of the holiday that we realised the settees and cushions are goose down which the Mrs is allergic to. If you have allergies to feathers it may be an issue. 3. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need however as there is so much stuff there is no spare cupboard space to store food items as they are all full. Hide

This house is in a fantastic location with a pleasant short walk down the road to the main area and different beaches. Great for spotting when the low and high tides are so you can walk across to St Michael's Mount! Dog friendly beaches all around. Can recommend the fish & chip shop (check when they are open), fudge and pasty shop! In the houRead morese the bedrooms have great sea views. Overall it had everything we needed including little touches like a cool bag, games and books to read. The door frames are low so you may need to duck your head but i would recommend this house for a lovely cosy week away. Hide
