The Cottage

The Cottage welcomes you in as soon as you open the door. It holds a wonderful sense of history at the same time as being incredibly comfortable. It’s in such a great location, right in the heart of Marazion and it only takes a few moments to get on the beach and to the Causeway to St Michael’s Mount. Although there is no parking, we were always able to use the half an hour parking outside the cottage to unload/load and the long stay car park is not too far away, where you can pay for the full week. We had an amazing time exploring Marazion and further afield and used the local bus services, which were also very good. We definitely hope to come back again soon....

We had a lovely stay at The Cottage. The interior was quaint and pretty, with lots of lovely details. We had everything we needed. The garden was also lovely. There are some low doorways and creaky features, but this is all part of the charm. We would love to stay again. ...

This is a beautiful cottage in a fabulous location. We have visited 4 times and found 2 new recommendations this time. The copper spoon deli, yummy cheeses and cakes and the big green shed for breakfast and lunch. A drive away but worth it for the food. ...

Fabulous location in the very centre of the village. But parking is a challenge. Rarely had the opportunity to even pull up outside. But that's nearly everywhere in the centre of Marazion. The Cottage including its history was endearing. It's quirky rooms and use of spaces for modern living have been interestingly developed. Our family joke was, a hard hat should be hung in the hall, I don't know how many times my husband banged his head (mainly on the lounge entrance) and he's only 6ft. We have also never seen so many pictures of St Michael's Mount in one house. As historical as they may be, it was a bit over the top. Room sizes were great. Uneven floors made it interesting. On occasions we did feel overlooked by passers-by as they didn't hold back in stepping up to the front door or peering around the corner to discover there was no path to the beach there. If I can be truthful ... the house is not entirely designed for young children and definitely not babies. We definitely felt as a family that the price was very high for what was on offer (twice what we paid the previous week), perhaps the price has reliance on its historic value. Would definitely suit foreign visitors looking for quirkiness and history. But we have stayed in other homes in Marazion which offer much better value and are in equally great positions in the village. Perhaps this old and this quirky wasn't for us. We had a challenging 2 weeks in Marazion, which was marred by my husband being in hospital in Truro for 6 days. Thank goodness Marazion offers peace and quiet in the evenings, the walks on the beach when the tide is lower are fabulous and were my happy place. Even more beautiful when the sun shines. Beautiful sunsets and an ever changing view of Mounts Bay and St Michael's Mount too. ...

A delightful old cottage, sensitively restored but with all mod cons. We enjoyed the history of the house contained within the house information pack. The walk-in shower was very good. Plus the immediate environment was lovely, set between the fudge and pasty shops in the centre of Marazion. The underfloor heating was very pleasant and the scones etc. Welcome pack and lovely flowers were an added bonus. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay. ...
