“We had a wonderful week with friends staying at this property.”

The lift is an added bonus although anyone with mobility issues would find the shower difficult to get into. Matching glasses and cutlery would have been nice but that is a minor issue. The location is amazing and have already booked to go back to the other apartment on site.

“Great central position.”

Fantastic views. The lift is great. Spacious and very well equipped, with the added bonus of a parking space right outside. Very comfortable all round. Shower could be better though.

- Judy, August 2024
Jonny August 2024

“Nice apartment with great views.”

The bathroom needs updating as it was I little dated. The apartment was clean but out side the front of the building was very dirty with lots of rubbish and even food. The hall way and stairs are very dirty and didn’t feel very welcoming. For some reason the new door that has recently been installed and landing to our outside balcony would not lock so we couldn’t leave anything outside as It could have been stolen. Overall we did enjoy our stay but at this price point the apartment felt a little tired. For example the knives and forks need replacing as they had rust on them so weren’t nice to eat with.

“We absolutely loved our stay in Mount View.”

The place was very comfortable and spacious with fabulous sea view and great beach access.

“Wonderful property.”

The lift is very welcome as we are getting older. Geoff is a lovely host and will help with anything. Will definitely be returning.

“This was our third visit and the accommodation was as exceptional as usual with fabulous views of St Michael’s Mount .”

- David, November 2023
Gillian November 2023

“Another wonderful stay.”

It’s like home from home but with fantastic sea views. You could just sit and look out over St Michael’s Bay all day. Already booked for next year and the addition of the lift will be a very welcome bonus.

- Gillian, November 2023
Christine September 2023

“Lovely apartment & super location.”

Just a couple of small criticisms…. Would have liked forewarning of scaffold being erected alongside the balcony for repair work upstairs. Thankfully, it didn’t happen until the last couple of days of our holiday ! Secondly, any guest planning to sleep in the double bed needs to be aware that it has a very soft mattress. Obviously not a problem for everyone but, anyone with a back problem, (like my husband), it can cause sleeping issues.

- Christine, September 2023

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed both the apartment and its location. We are sorry that you were not notified about the scaffolding being erected. The scaffolding had to go up due to some emergency work which needed to be carried out on the roof. As we all know, beds are a matter of preference and so what is comfortable for one person, may not be quite so suited to another. We are sorry that the mattresses were not what you are used to in your own home. Very difficult to provide mattresses that suit everyone. Aside from this we do hope that we might welcome you back to the apartment again in the future. Property Owner
Kate August 2023

“Lovely property, excellent location, and really helpful owner!”

Really clean and well Supplied as well, and right on the beach so perfect with the children. Would probably benefit from a bigger sign saying parking for number two as we could t spot it till they phoned and helped.

- Kate, August 2023
Julie July 2023

“Mount view is a lovely and homely apartment, with great views, in a good location, overlooking St Michael’s Mount in Marazion.”

Everything you need for an easy stay is provided … the apartment is very well equipped, and we dubbed it ‘a home from home’ which was a real bonus given the weather we had during our week was a bit mixed. The apartment was lovely to relax in, and we loved the sea views and well equipped balcony. Local amenities are within a short walk of the apartment, including a great village pub, fish and chip and a pasty shop which provided the best we have ever had! I would recommend this apartment for any time of year. We have booked to return next year.

- Julie, July 2023
Terry May 2023

“Happy wit the property and aspect, however the automated car park payment system that had to be used due to the building work did not work properly meaning I had to pay £84 instead of £50.”

Then the noise and the dust from the building works was uncomfortable and at times difficult to breath. The property should not have been let with the building work taking place

- Terry, May 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. As agreed prior to your stay, we gather that you were fully reimbursed for the car-parking fees by the owner of Mount View. With regard to the building works, we understand that the disruption was minimal, it's unfortunate you didn't contact us during your stay as any issues would have been followed up with the site manager. - Cornish Cottage Holidays Property Owner
Jo May 2023

“Beautiful views from the property but needs some tlc work men came early morning not ideal for a holiday apartment only had warning one week before, wrong key code given for the apartment door which meant sitting on the stairs waiting for contact from the apartment owners, toilet didn’t flush too good and water pressure pretty bad.”

On the whole it’s a very nice property and we’re aware that works needs to be done but not while we’re there!!! Probably would not book again but we do like to travel round the country

- Jo, May 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We do apologise for the issues you encountered, although you were contacted more than one week before the booking went ahead in order to highlight some minimal disruption to your stay. We understand that Cornish Cottage Holidays were able to help promptly with your query about the key code so that you could gain access to the property. We're pleased to hear your positive comments and look forward to welcoming you in the future when you can take full advantage of the improvements. Property Owner
Mark November 2022

“Bit late with my review, lovely week stay here, views amazing, wife lived the kitchen, real fire was a bonus.”

Only downsides were the shower and the light on the stairs, I know there is an issue with the pressure, but was a but of a pain having a shower, also could do with the light staying on longer in the winter months. These were minor issue's though, loved our stay here and would recommend it to anyone, picture perfect view, ideal location for exploring the area.

- Mark, November 2022

Thank you for your review. The light is on a timer, it is a communal staircase so unfortunately not much can be done about this. The shower issue should have been fixed as we have had a new water main put in. Property Owner

Was very satisfied with apartment and location. Everything was clean and tidy. Had an excellent stay..

Charlie August 2022

“What a fantastic seaside you have!”

This was our first non hotel booking and we were thrilled with our choice from the moment we arrived. The apartment was welcoming, clean and spacious and felt very homely. There was everything you could need to have a fantastic holiday and the telescope was an unexpected but added bonus. We enjoyed watching the people get caught out by the tide when crossing back from St Michael's Mount!! We were aware of the water pressure issue but it really wasn't that much of an issue and we would definitely love to stay here again. Thank you again for sharing your both your apartment and that stunning view.

“Mount View is certainly a great apartment with a fantastic view.”

‘A view to die for’ The apartment had a good layout with generous size and was very well decorated and very clean. Housekeeping kept in touch to check if we needed a clean linen/change. Very friendly lady. Thank you :) The kitchen was so well kitted out with more than enough pots and pans to use and the dishwasher a plus. We loved the telescope on a stand which was used often. We had meals on the balcony to enjoy the wonderful views over the bay/beach and St Michaels Mount. Marazion is a town with pubs, shops for all we needed. The bus stops just outside on the main road made the coast/towns very accessible. We enjoyed the Coast bus rides to Penzance, beautiful St Ives and Lands End. We had a great time. Sadly the double bed mattress needs replacing. As it dips down the whole left side near the wardrobes. Hubby felt he was falling out of bed. This is not because of bed preference it was so obvious even when looking at. As mentioned by other reviews Water/toilet flow had low pressure but to be fair works had started to improve this by the water board whilst we were there. Would recommend and would love to return one day. Thought it was good value for money. Great find for a beach, coastal holiday break with an amazing view.

- Michael, June 2022
Stephen May 2022

“Best one yet!”

- Stephen, May 2022
Marilyn May 2022

“Everything was wonderful, we had a fab relaxing time, with the most amazing sea views.”

The one tiny thing I would change is the toilet flush and the bath filling, so a small plumbing issue, but did not affect our enjoyment of the apartment 10 out of 10 overall!!

- Marilyn, May 2022

So glad you enjoyed your holiday and the fantastic views from the balcony. We are in the process of correcting the the issues you have raised, we have contracted South West Water to fit a new water main, which will address water pressure issues. Property Owner
Tim May 2022

“The flat is amazing and the view the best we've had in ten years of visiting the town annually.”

Decor is beautiful and everything perfectly provided, the cream tea and roses being much appreciated. Beds and sofas were comfortable, the TV fine and the crockery lovely. HOWEVER we have to say that the plumbing leaves a lot to be desired. Water pressure failed completely a few times, the bath took half an hour to fill, the shower was weak and either scalding or freezing, and the toilet sometimes took multiple attempts to flush properly. Such a shame, as we so enjoyed and appreciated everything else and would love to return, if we could be sure the above was rectified.

- Tim, May 2022
Katie April 2022

“Had an amazing stay.”

The apartment is beautiful, with lots of essentials provided. The balcony provided large sweeping views of the bay and st michaels mount. Absolutely fantastic location with sea views.

- Katie, April 2022
Sandra April 2022

“Very good, had brilliant stay, only issues were, toilet flush kept going after flushing (we had to wiggle it to stop it running on, so no big problem).”

Small leak under kitchen sink had to empty the container that had been put there a couple of times, again no problem. All in all wonderful time though. Would recommend to anyone, certainly return!

- Sandra, April 2022
Nicola March 2022

“Superb property.”

Everything you could wish for in the flat, spotlessly clean, amazing views. Loved watching the world go by from the balcony. Fantastic sunsets. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you :)

Rachel December 2021

“What a fantastic place ,we went to celebrate my 50th birthday and it was the best birthday ever .”

Gillian October 2021

“The lock on the patio door is very problematic.”

The bath taps are very slow. The toilet flush needs new siphon. We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Wonderful location and very comfortable.

Jane September 2021

“The flat had everything you would wish for.”

The cream tea milk and flowers where a lovely touch. The view was to die for. The town had everything you needed. We did not use the car and caught the bus to St Ives and Lands end. The only small down side was there is no double glazing on the side by the road so you could here the hum of the traffic. Would definitely go back again. Thank you Jane

- Jane, September 2021
Jocelyn August 2021

“We really enjoyed our week at Marazion!”

The accommodation was brilliant. The owners went above and beyond expectations to provide clean and comfortable accommodation. Any negative issues we had were with Sykes, who were very hard to get hold of, never returned calls when they said they would, and generally ignored our communications leading up to the holiday. But in the end, all worked out and we were very satisfied.

- Jocelyn, August 2021
Lesley July 2021

We had a wonderful holiday

Rodger July 2021

“We had an issue with the allocated parking as when we came back to the property on Thursday evening after a full day out and with bags of shopping and the need to start loading the car for leaving the following day, the parking spot was taken by someone we found was visiting downstairs and they had been told to park there by the the person who lives there, I would suggest Private Parking signs and marking the bays again.”

The windows at the front of the property could do with replacing as 2 pains if glass in the kitchen were broken and the old sash type windows don’t keep any noise out. The mattresses could with changing as these are not very comfortable compared to last time we stayed. I would say however that the location and the view from the fantastic balcony make up for any of the issues and we would recommend to anyone to book as we will hopefully be booking again.

- Rodger, July 2021

Thank you for completing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you had an issue with the parking during your stay. The parking for the properties on site is not allocated parking. You are free to park in any of the three parking bays. The original sash windows are not able to be replaced. There is a crack in one of the panes but the glass which is very old is not broken. Mattresses are a matter of preference and perhaps not the same you are used to at home. We are glad that you enjoyed the location and we hope to be able to welcome you back to Mount View in the future. Property Owner
Sharon June 2021

“We had good time, first time using Sykes and travelling with a dog.”

The apartment was good… a few things I think would make it better, but maybe personal choice. I’d prefer king size bed and think the side gate needs some attention

- Sharon, June 2021

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback which has been discussed with the owner. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately, there isn't room to provide a king size bed in the bedroom. The side gate has been removed and a replacement gate is in the process of being made. Property Owner
Lindsey May 2021

“Excellent amenities and location to various attractions.”

The beds comfortable and clean. There was an issue with the flush on the toilet and water pressure from bath very slow to fill. This was certainly nothing major and didn’t cause any major problems. There is parking directly outside the property as described but the bays are not marked and therefore it’s first come first serve It would appear. Luckily we only had an issue with parking once in the week there which forced us in to a nearby car park, bit of a hassle and additional expense but one of them things.

- Lindsey, May 2021

Thank you for your feedback. The water pressure issue is being addressed. The parking bays are not allocated, you are free to park in any of the three large parking bays. Property Owner

“The apartment was very good, unfortunately the outside on arrival looked in need of some TLC.”

- Jack, May 2021
Anne May 2021

“On arrival , it was VERY difficult to open the entrance door, this was known because the door was NOT locked, The lifting handle which require lifting to engage the lock was so stiff that my wife was not able to operate it !”

! A maintenance man came to look at the lock and would contact another to fix it, this was not done before our early departure. Also, the toilet flush button only worked intermitantly , This was looked at again by the same man who got it working but again it failed so requiring the toilet to be bucket flushed,. I feel that both problems were probably known before our arrival and were ignored.

- Anne, May 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are sorry you experienced a couple of issues during your stay. We were unaware of them prior to your arrival and did our best to address them as quickly as we could. Once again, thank you for your comments and we would love to welcome you back. Property Owner

The location gives a simply fantastic view of the beach, the whole bay and a sensational view of Mount St Michael It is a very short walk to the shops, pubs etc and there is an excellent fish and chip shop almost opposite The external metal staircase was easy to use Thoroughly recommended

- John, May 2021
Tess October 2020

“Wonderful flat and setting, really enjoyed our holiday.”

It is the 3rd time we have booked Mount View. But, the cold tap in the bedroom overlooking the sea screeches and shakes unless you have it full on. The other concern was the lock on the door is getting harder and tighter to lock from the outside and took us a while each time to lock properly, although we know how it obviously locks

- Tess, October 2020
Karen September 2020

Loved it. The apartment, the view, the location was amazing. Would return in a heartbeat.

“Absolutely beautiful location and great property.”

Everything was exactly as described.

- Aileen, August 2020
Steven July 2020

“We had a great time at Mount view.”

The apartment is of a good size and has a lovely kitchen/diner with open space lounge overlooking the bay. The deco is cosy and the house was very clean. The views from the terrace are really wonderful and you can just sit down and relax after a day out looking out, watching the sunset and the world go by. The location is perfect to just walk down the beach or the coastal path and the available parking space is really useful as otherwise the other option is the busy car park by the apartment which although cheap, £4,50 a day gets very busy. Pro of the apartment: Location, close to the shops, watersports activities, supermarkets, by the beach, close to other towns (driving 20 /45mins) like St. Ives, Newquay, Kaiance cove, Prussia cove, Penzance etc. Large kitchen (with everything you need!) and sofas from which you can enjoy the views. Good size bathroom/shower. Good size second bedroom with single beds Good Terrace with spectacular views. Fish & Chips right in front of the house. Cons: The double bed in the master bedroom is a little on the small size and not the most comfortable but it didn't ruin our holiday at all, we have a super king at home so it was just something to get use to for us. The pressure of the toilet is very low, this means that you may need to flash the toilet a few times but again not a big issue. Overall we really enjoyed the stay and we would love to come back to this apartment!

Peter September 2019

“We wanted good views of St Michael's Mount and the bay.”

The balcony could not have been better positioned to see The Mount. The flat, especially the kitchen, was very well equipped with a wide range of utensils, equipment and crockery. The beds were very comfortable though the double bed seemed a bit small in relation to the one I'm used to. Wifi signal was good. We'd certainly return and would recommend to others.

- Peter, September 2019
Kayleigh July 2019

“Mount View provided a great location with parking and accessible for lots of great attractions.”

Beds were comfy, the apartment was nice and clean, the cream tea on arrival was a lovely touch. Outdoor furniture was great and the view was amazing. Beaches clean, nice restaurants, shops and play park within walking distance. Couple of very minor issues, locks were stiff and having to slam the door to close and the shower wasn't powerful enough. Didn’t affect the enjoyment of the holiday though. Would love to return!

Michael May 2019

“A wonderful 1st floor apartment with its own external stairs to reach the gated balcony with fantastic views of St.”

Michael's Mount and the beach. The small car park below is of no concern, especially if you like people come and go. External table and chairs to drink and dine and umbrella for some shade of needed. Inside, the apartment is light and airy with open plan lounge and kitchen diner. Sofas are comfortable with views out to the sea as does the master bedroom. Modern kitchen with plenty of space. A couple of minor issues for us but none that spoilt our holiday. The dining table is in the middle of the kitchen which can get in the way when cooking. It would be nice to move the table to the window, out of the way and there is room. However that leaves the low hanging dining light at head level. A retractable light fitting would solve this The bathroom needs some updating but nothing serious here. Finally, we found the beds to be a little uncomfortable and I think new beds are in order. But then, this could also be what we are used to. Would definitely recommend a holiday here and we will be back.

- Michael, May 2019
David April 2019

“We had a wonderful holiday.”

Visited The Lizard (superb, unspoiled, two good cafes near lighthouse, good shops in village). Visited St Ives. Parking is pathetic in St Ives, so we parked for free in Long Rock (near Marazion) and went to St Ives on the bus (using senior bus passes for free) - very good journey. St Ives is superb in every way except for parking. Visited Penzance (very interesting) and Mousehole (superb in every way). Newlyn is not worth visiting. Visited St Michael's Mount (superb building, and the gardens were truly amazing). Visited other places too. The apartment was very good. Really enjoyed the view from the lounge/balcony - watching people walking to St Michael's Mount, and the little boats too - watching the local sailing club go out - watching the tide go in and out - watching the Scillonian III arrive and depart from Penzance. Walked on Marazion beach every day. The location of the apartment was excellent, what with good views from it and easy access to main roads for getting about and hand Morrisons/Sainsburys/Tesco just a mile or two away. I suppose everything has a downside. With the apartment it was the locks and doors to get in and out - we did manage to unlock and open all three doors (one to the main building - code, one to the apartment itself - code, one to the balcony - key) and to open the key safe to get the key, but all were difficult and stiff; however, we soon got used to using the balcony door with the key and ignored the other doors, but all this did NOT spoil the holiday. Also, there is an issue with the parking - the spaces were poorly identified and need new lines and numbering - we had to put notes on other cars windscreens to ask the owners to park more tidily; again, this did NOT spoil the holiday.

- David, April 2019
Vicky April 2019

“It was great to see that the owners had redecorated and tidied some areas of the apartment, and replaced some of the frying pans etc.”

Seeing as there is no washing machine, maybe a small, round, old fashioned spinner would be appropriate, we have used these in other properties, with a bucket to catch the water, as it's very difficult to wash and dry your clothes/wetsuits. This would make the job of wringing out much easier, and I would definitely use it on our next visit. Maybe they could store it in one of the wardrobes, although I know space is very tight! Other than that our stay was perfect, loved the outdoor seating and cushions, and the fact that they have got rid of the old hedge and made a new named parking space for the car now, brilliant, much better. This is one of the best situated holiday lets in Marazion!

- Vicky, April 2019
Sally April 2019

- Sally, April 2019
Tessa March 2019

“We had a super stay at the flat again - you just can't beat that view!”

Just a couple of things - the hot water wasn't switched on when we arrived. The water is an issue as the shower has very low pressure and the bath takes an age to fill. I expect the owner has this on their list to sort out. The repairs to the balcony door are great so that despite the high winds and driving rain we were totally dry and warm. The heating is good and we especially love the solid fuel fire. Thank you x

- Tessa, March 2019
Lyanne October 2018

“The view and fire were great but that was it.”

The property needed a good clean. The shower ran hot and cold and the windows in the kitchen didn’t close properly leaving the blind blowing when it was windy. It also sounded like the cars were coming through the living room. Cutlery needed replacing and a new frying pan was needed.

- Lyanne, October 2018

Many thanks for your valuable feedback, we are very disappointed that one of our properties has seemingly let us down and not provided you with the experienced that we had hoped for. We will be contacting the owner of this property shortly regarding the points you have raised. Property Owner
Tessa October 2018

“This flat has the most incredible view.”

You can watch the ever changing sea and the various people , dogs and boats coming and going. Wonderful ! It is well equipped with a very effective log burner to snuggle up in front of. We’ve already booked another week .

- Tessa, October 2018
Mike September 2018

“The perfect base for touring south Cornwall in the perfect location.”

The accommodation is excellent, the generous balcony let us just sit on nothing days, with ice cream of course, and watch the view together with passing people and many other happenings, wonderful.

- Mike, September 2018
Sallie September 2018

“Really lovely place, but first impressions not great when you pull up outside.”

The front of the house is not very inviting and filthy, but once you climb the stairs to the rear of the property you see the view and it’s ok. Also felt a bit uneasy with the door to the communal stairs having a glass panel which compromised privacy, however, once we had been there a short while we realised that there wasn’t much movement in the stairwell. And the bed in the main bedroom is quite small. The view and location make up for any small issues and we liked it very much. We are fortunate that we are able to go away quite often and this is one place where we would consider rebooking.

- Sallie, September 2018
John August 2018

“The apartment is in a great location with fantastic views of St Michaels Mount it’s right in the town of Marazion with its shops and restaurants all on the doorstep.”

The facilities are good and everything is comfortable. We really enjoyed sitting on the large balcony with great views of the ocean and a great location for people watching. It’s the sort of place that you don’t want to move from, it’s got better views than most places in the town and right across the road is a really good fish and chip shop. All the major supermarkets are a 2 miles drive away so if the weather is good I would suggest that you stock up and stay in and enjoy the accommodation it’s very special. It’s a shame that it’s not nearer to our home in Aberdeen! We will definitely be coming back.

- John, August 2018
Terry August 2018

“We had a fantastic stay at Mount View, and everything we had hoped the place to be was correct.”

The view from the balcony was amazing, waking up to that every morning, and relaxing in the evenings was perfect. The accommodation was like home from home. Lovely comfortable beds, nice and quiet in the evenings. The living area and kitchen met all our needs. We had 2 pubs only a minute stroll down the street and a great chippy across the road. We will definitely be back again very soon Terry Barker, Crewe, Cheshire

Jenny May 2018

“My friend and i have just had a weeks holiday at Mounts View Marazion, and had a lovely time.”

However, part of our holiday was to enjoy movies every evening when the sun went down, and lots of DVD's were bought for this . On the 4th day of our holiday, tues 8th may, the TV no longer worked. We called to report it, and had no joy. We phoned again on wed morning, and wed evening, and then again on thursday. We were told the owners were contacted about this by text, phone and email and had not responded. It was logged by Sam on wed morning who said that this was not a new issue. We never did have it resolved, and i phoned on thursday to see what the situation was, and was told they were waiting for a tv/electrical company to come and sort it out, but obviously by then, it was no good to us as we were leaving friday morning. We did everything we could in re booting it, checking plugs, manually also, and i bought a new set of batteries for the tv remote. It just stopped working!! I hope the new renters have a better time than we did with it? We were also told by a lady on the phone that we would receive financial compensation for this. Although that is not what this is about, we do feel that our holiday was marred by no tv. I have taken photos of the curtains hanging off and the useless telescope it advertises which was held together with pink plastic and glue. I will forward these as and when. I notice on your website the telescope is obviously broken there in the photo. Please note, we were told that the TV issues were NOT a new problem. Very upset really about this as it did change our evenings. I will look forward to your reply asap. Regards Tess Richardson, acting on behalf of Jenny Barden who booked the holiday for both of us.

Neil April 2018

“The apartment was in a fantastic location and we couldn't have wished for anything better.”

The windows in the apartment that faced the road were in need of replacement, there was a drought in the 2nd bedroom coming from the windows which made the room very chilly and we thought the apartment could do with a deep clean. Unfortunately the main bedroom door did not close properly and remain closed. Not withstanding our points the apartment is ideally located in Marazion with easy access to most places in Cornwall and has fantastic views to St Michaels Mount.

Deborah March 2018

“This property is all about location location location, and the views overlooking the bay are fabulous.”

The apartment looked clean on the surface, but would benefit from a deep clean and some decoration. I didn't like the fact that the wardrobes were filled with general clutter. The hoover was there plus a Christmas tree a random bottle of some sort of cleaning fluid and numerous bits and pieces slung in there. You were expected to hang your clothes amongst this which I didn't like. We had a problem with the TV as nothing worked and after trying all the obvious things ourselves we needed help. There is no owner help available here for anything which i find disapointing. We called Sykes who tried to help but they didn't know what to do either. In the end we solved the problem ourselves by going online and downloading the freesat app which linked up to the TV and could be used as a remote control. Some people staying here might not be able to do this. On the plus side the bed was comfortable. The towels soft and large and there was a delicious cream tea for us plus milk in the fridge. All in all we had a lovely week despite the negatives.

The property

With breathtaking, uninterrupted views over white crested waves and a long stretch of golden sands, this modern first floor apartment has to occupy one of the most enviable positions along the great sweep of Mount's Bay in Marazion.

Mount View commands a grandstand position and in good conditions there are panoramic views towards the Lizard Peninsula in one direction and Land's End in the other.

Imagine watching a sunset over this magical seascape or idly gazing out across the bay, a playground for water sports enthusiasts, from the 30 foot seaward facing private balcony or comfort of the sitting room.

Favoured by the locals, Marazion's white sandy beach is just steps away from the apartment and at low tide it provides access via a cobbled causeway to the island and majestic castle of St Michael's Mount.

The village amenities including restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries, craft shops and a post office are moments away and two large supermarkets are within a five minute drive.

The coastal footpath stretches in either direction and on the outskirts of the village is Marazion Marsh, a reserve attracting many rare and exotic bird life.

Perfect for couples and families, the apartment is an excellent choice for breaks at anytime of year.

The sitting room is comfortably furnished with chunky settees and a smokeless coal or wood burner and from here is an archway leading to a well equipped kitchen/dining room.

There is a double bedroom with jaw-dropping sea views and a second bedroom with twin beds.

Marazion is a one-stop destination however for those wanting to tour this scenic part of Cornwall, Penzance, St Ives and Land's End are within a 20 minute drive.

There is off road parking for one car.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
