“Parking space is very difficult to access - suitable for a small vehicle only at best.”

Space also had overgrown grass and roof tiles, wood etc laying around - not a welcoming start to any holiday. Unpleasant smell of damp on ground level. Free view does not work on the tv. Could not use shower as temperature control did not appear to work - either cold or too hot. Positives - great location for visiting this region of Cornwall. Bottle of wine, milk and cookies was a welcome touch. Upper floors are nice with great views.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback and bring these issues to our attention. We feel very lucky to have a parking space in Marazion - the space can accommodate most normal sized vehicles. We are attending to the outside of the property and rectifying the other issues you mentioned with our housekeepers and plumber. A new TV ariel has been installed and the TV is now working fine. Thanks too for your positive comments, always well received. Property Owner

“The cottage has a few issue's, there was an unpleasant smell of damp downstairs, the shower was very inconsistant, the tv was a pain to work, the bed and the bedding have seen better day's, the first aid kit need's updating ( I went to get a plaster but there wasn't any ), car parking is dreadful, also in need of a tidy up, to finish on a positive note the cottage was very clean and tidy, the view from the bedroom window was amazing, loved the little snug.”

Tracy May 2024

“Lovely property in a great location,ideal for visiting other areas either on foot or by bus.”

Parking space is a little small but managed to park medium sized car. TV reception is very poor could only watch Netflix no mainstream channels available which may be a problem if you are bound to the house in bad weather.

Jacqui April 2024

“Ner sea is a lovely cottage with great views.”

we loved the little snug in the attic for watching the fishing boats. The only downside was the telly, it was quite dated. very tricky to operate and you could only watch BBC I player or Netflix on demand.

- Jacqui, April 2024

“Beautiful well equipped cottage with amazing views to the Mount.”

Perfectly located to explore what Cornwall has to offer. Would love to return one day. Welcome pack was much appreciated too

Martin November 2023

“We enjoyed staying at the cottage.”

It was a great base for us to explore the surrounding area. It was lovely to come back from a chilly walk and have a bath and light the wood burner . The general cleanliness was good, but we did find mould in the coffee pot. We also had to wash various kitchen utensils and dishes before use because of grease and bits of food left on them. A few plates were chipped and a dish cracked, which means germs can ingress. We choose self catering because we do actually cook our own food when away and often find cutlery, plates and dishes are grubby and chipped/ cracked. It would be great if cleaners could look through kitchen drawers and cupboards and clean and replace where necessary. The shower seal was brown and mouldy and the toilet brush was dirty. It wouldn't have cost much to replace these two items.

- Martin, November 2023

Hi Martin, I always value feedback and look to address any issues highlighted. I have asked my cleaning team to look at the issues you have raised and I will replace the shower seal. As you are aware, guests that book the cottage are also agreeing to leave the cottage how they find it but as to have experienced is not always the case As Property Owner

“A lovely traditional cottage with great views and a short walk to all amenities and the beach.”

Elizabeth Julie October 2023

“A spacious and comfortable base for exploring West Cornwall.”

Good for bus routes and walking.

Ailish September 2023

“We loved Marazion.”

The cottage was lovely. The parking space, while tight, was a godsend. The bed is a standard double which we found too small. That is personal preference. All in all, we were very happy. Thank you.

- Ailish, September 2023
Katharina July 2023

“Ner Sea is a delightfully furbished and designed cottage, very comfortable and close to Saint Michael's Mount.”

Good bus service to Penzance and Helston, the beach a short walk away. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the cottage. If stairs are difficult for you, then this cottage might not be the best for you, but otherwise great for anyone.

- Katharina, July 2023
Jennifer May 2023

“Ner Sea is a lovely cottage for two within easy walking distance of the centre of Marazion and spectacular views of the sea and St Michael’s Mount.”

The kitchen is very well equipped and the bedroom and bathroom are roomy and relaxing. We especially valued having a parking space (accessed from the road behind the cottage) which, though small, was big enough for our Audi A1. We recommend The Fire Engine pub which is less than 50 yds up the road from the cottage.

- Jennifer, May 2023
Elaine May 2023

“Beautiful Quaint cottage .”

Fab views from lounge to St Michael's Mount. Spotlessly clean, Great amenities. Car space very tight only drawback.

- Elaine, May 2023
Petra P April 2023

“I found the cottage was perfect for my needs and the welcome tray when I arrived Sunday evening was the best treat!”

I loved the whole cottage but I found myself gravitating to the snug most. A perfect retreat to destress. The only downside is the lack of shops to buy basic items, however, just organize a home delivery from a supermarket to arrive after you get to Marazion.

- Petra P, April 2023
Lisa April 2023

“We loved the cottage and would highly recommend it.”

Couple of good pubs nearby especially the fire engine inn. Beautiful views from the windows. Very comfortable and well decorated. Thank you

“Excellent accommodation.”

Homely , clean , comfortable . Very well equipped . Wonderful views and central to many national trust sites . Would definitely recommend . Jimmy and Christina

Gary February 2023

“This is a cottage of a high standard.”

The kitchen facilities were great for what we needed, the knives were sharp and there was everything we needed to cater for ourselves for a week. The log burner was the best feature by far. We used it in the evening to top up the electric storage heaters. The owner very kindly left us fuel to start it off and get us going. Very much appreciated. The location just outside of the centre of the village made it perfect as it was only a short walk into the main area. We even had a parking space which a lot of cottages there don't have. We went in February, it was very peaceful. Thoroughly recommended and would definitely go back.

- Gary, February 2023

Thank you for the lovely feedback. My team and myself are always looking to improve our guests experience and try to make your stay in this beautiful part of Cornwall a truly memorable one. Property Owner

“Lovely cottage.”

Well equipped. Warm. comfortable. Good bed. Great position. Nicely decorated. Parking just takes a bit of care. Loved everything.

Wendy October 2022

“Loved this little house…It wrapped its arms around you while the wind howled & the rain beat against the windows.”

.Felt so cosy…Also loved the stable door at the back with no windows overlooking the outside space…views & sounds of the sea lovely….Absolutely spotless with a very welcome bottle of wine waiting. Thank you. I would definitely come back here again Wendy

- Wendy, October 2022
Les July 2022

“Beautiful location.”

Perfectly clean and very comfortable cottage. Parking, although a bit tight was an added bonus for which we were very grateful. Highly recommended for the views and location.

- Les, July 2022
Carole June 2022

“Lovely property, spotless and perfect location Nice touch by owner leaving a bottle of wine, milk and biscuits as a welcome - very thoughtful.”

We would like to have used the outside garden space but not very inviting. Just a few nice plants/tidy up/coat of paint on the walls etc is all it needs to make a perfect holiday home.

- Carole, June 2022

Lovely cottage and marazion is beautiful we had a wonderful week and we’re very impressed with the equipment in the kitchen , shower was tricky needs a knack which we discussed with the lovely neighbour

- Jules, September 2021
Paul September 2021

“This is our second visit to Ner Sea, another great week in a nice little cottage in a great location.”

- Paul, September 2021
Sue July 2021

“Cottage was lovely, clean and comfortable.”

Wine,milk and biscuits a lovey touch and much appreciated after our seven hour journey from Shropshire! The only downside was that parking was a little tight! but we did not need to use the car all week as the bus service to all surrounding areas from Marazion was brilliant. Would recommend

- Sue, July 2021
Paul May 2021

“We had an absolutely fantastic time in Marazion and surrounding area.”

We loved Ner Sea cottage, it was very clean, well equipped, quirky and comfortable with excellent views of the Mount. Its location is ideal for the town and sightseeing.

- Paul, May 2021
Amy May 2021

“Great cottage in a perfect location.”

Had everything we needed.

- Amy, May 2021
Royston October 2020

“The cottage is situated in beautiful Marazion and is within easy reach of all the places we wished to explore.”

The views from the bedroom, overlooking St Michaels Mount are particularly lovely. The cottage itself was perfect for us, it was tastefully furnished, warm and comfortable and a high standard of cleanliness was apparent. Everything you may need for a self catering holiday was provided for and we were welcomed with a bottle of wine, biscuit treats, tea, coffee and sugar and fresh milk. The WiFi was great. There was an instruction booklet for all appliances which was useful. Jenny the housekeeper lives a few doors away, she is very friendly and gave us some great tips on places to visit. We would have loved to have lit the wood burner to enjoy that romantic feel to the cottage on our evenings in but the nights were just too warm. Whilst the inside of the cottage was lovely, it is fair to say that the 4 levels to the garden area need some attention in order for couples to really enjoy the experience of sitting out during the good weather if they so wish. The car parking space to the rear of the property is narrow, but it is not the size of the space that gave us a problem but the poor quality and unevenness of it, with a low down car this became quite stressful in trying to get into the road without scraping the car valance. There is no alternative parking anywhere in Marazion.

- Royston, October 2020
Andrew September 2020

“Excellent holiday home in fantastic location.”

Park the car and use the bus from outside front door. Large property with all comforts....had fab time and nothing negative to say.

- Andrew, September 2020
Wendy September 2020

“Lovely accommodation which is well situated to visit Marazion and surrounding areas.”

Outside area would benefit from some attention to make it a more pleasant area to relax in. A few minor improvements in the accommodation such as better lighting over the dining area and a more efficient shower would make the accommodation outstanding. A more comfortable settee and mattress would also help. The accommodation is beautifully decorated mixing some old fashioned charm with modern accessories. It is a lovely place to stay; you never tire of the spectacular view of St Michael's mount and even the local pub is only a couple of minutes walk away. It is a place we plan to visit again.

- Wendy, September 2020
Shelley August 2020

“This cottage is small and quirky.”

Romantic and cozy. Ideally placed and has parking (a rarity in small Cornish villages and towns). It was clean and in good order with lovely bed linen and accessories Everything you need in a cottage with local services nearby (shops, pubs, restaurants) and a view of St Michael’s Mount. Lots of great places to visit in the surrounding area too. Jenny the housekeeper was very friendly and John the owner contacted us personally to ensure we had a good stay COVID-19 additional measures made us feel very secure there

- Shelley, August 2020
Stuart August 2019

“Communication from Sykes was spot on as was the point of contact at the cottage.”

- Stuart, August 2019
Michael August 2019

“Lovely little home from home, with all the facilities we needed.”

A 5 minute walk from the middle of the village, with views across the bay to St Michael's Mount. Would definitely recommend.

- Michael, August 2019
Shelley June 2019

“Perfectly placed to enjoy Marazion.”

The main shops are about 6 min walk down the hill, 10mins to the bottom where the beach is. The hill is not too steep. Marazion is one of the nicest places on the southern cost, there’s plenty of places to visit nearby. The cottage is lovely and has all the things you need (except a butter dish?). We took our fire stick and The WiFi was strong enough for us to stream Netflix so if the wether isn’t kind you can relax in the cottage. The fire engine pub opposite is fab. We will visit Marazion again and if it’s just the 2 of us we will be at Ner Sea

- Shelley, June 2019
Angela May 2019

“Only draw back was the very narrow car parking space, mistakenly advertised an large.”

It would not be suitable for anything over a medium sized car. That said everything else was very good and our queries were met with politeness and prompt action.

- Angela, May 2019
Rebekah April 2019

“Me and my partner stayed here for the Easter bank holiday weekend.”

Both John and Jenny are lovely, friendly people and gave us helpful information of our surroundings. The cottage was beautiful and absolutely everything was thought of. I would 100% recommended this cottage and will definitely be booking again in the future. Thanks to both John and Jenny for making us feel so welcome.

- Rebekah, April 2019
Tanya April 2019

“Enjoyed every minute, it was instant relaxation as we entered the door.”

Parking was a bit tight though. I understand why the neighbouring property has put a post to divide his parking space but it makes it difficult to park due to post not being visible in mirrors. Ner Sea parking space is very narrow. The Sykes website describes it as a large drive. Nothing detracted from the pleasure of our stay

- Tanya, April 2019
Samantha November 2018

“The cottage is fantastic.”

Everything you could possibly need has been thought of and is provided for you to use. We had an amazing week and will 100% return next year. So glad we stumbled across this cottage when our original booking for a property in Penzance was cancelled due to water damage. Cannot praise the owners enough, it’s a beautiful place to stay. Thank you x

- Samantha, November 2018
Francine September 2018

“Poor welcome pack.”

Only six tea bags and one toilet roll which we thought was poor. Parking space was extremely narrow and quite difficult to judge. In the dark, it would be almost impossible. Having that said, these wouldn’t put us off staying at Ner Sea again. We’d arrive with more tea bags and more toilet rolls and we’d be better practised at getting into the parking space! Light and airy cottage, plenty of wardrobe space, great facilities which all help to make it more homely. This cottage also has a great position, excellent views and quiet at night. Would go again.

- Francine, September 2018
Josephine July 2018

“We had a wonderful holiday at Ner Sea Cottage.”

It had everything we could want and more. It was just like being home from home but in a more beautiful location. We arrived worn out and weary and came home refreshed and ready to start again. What more cold we have possibly asked for. The welcome and helpfulness of the owner and the lovely lady who cleans was second to none. Just first class but in no way intrusive. I thinkI you can gather, we loved every minute. Josephine and Ken Howkins.

- Josephine, July 2018
Paul June 2018

“Home from home, the cottage was lovely with all the comforts that we required.”

Really clean and well presented. In a great location with a great pub just down the road for a well earned drink after a day out exploring the local area.

- Paul, June 2018
Graham May 2018

“Lovely cottage in a great location would go back anytime”

“The parking and route descriptions are a bit misleading.”

The parking around the back is very tight for anything but a small car.

- Stephen, March 2018
Jeremy February 2018

“Ner Sea is a lovely comfortable, and thoughtfully planned cottage.”

It has a sea view, which we absolutely loved, and to be honest weren't expecting, so it was a wonderful surprise. We were so impressed with the view, we decided to go and buy some binoculars, and believe it or not, we found a suitable pair in the Charity Shop in Marazion. The wood burner was one of the main reasons that we decided on this cottage, together with the fact that logs are supplied in the rent. We were not disappointed. The log store was very well stocked, which came in very handy, as the weather was pretty dreadful for the 2 weeks we were there. Fog, hale, snow, sleet, rain and wind were all experienced in the fortnight that we were in Cornwall. However, this charming cosy cottage, meant that on days that were too awful to venture very far, we could spend a wonderful time indoors, just "chilling". Jenny, the housekeeper is wonderful, and looked after us very well. It is great having her so nearby, in the case of problems. Not that we experienced any during our stay. The small electric heaters supplied, were also a lovely touch, as it helped warm the bedroom/landing up nicely. The position of this cottage is truly wonderful, and everything is easily accessible by car. We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this cottage for a lovely romantic break. It is quiet, well appointed, and the bed is very comfortable. We look forward to returning as soon as we can.

- Jeremy, February 2018
Wolfgang November 2017

“Ner Sea was cosy, comfortable and modern.”

The woodburner was a delight to have. The bed is comfortable, the bathroom bright and pretty and the living area very cosy. The housekeeper Jenny is a real dear and it was such a pleasure to meet her. She made me feel so welcome. The only issues I had were the relatively dark area at the table which could do with a light from above. And the traffic noise did not bother me too much but my wife, who is more sensible with that, was affected by it. Still, I can recommend it a lot.

The property

Ner Sea occupies a desirable position in the seaside town of Marazion with glorious views over the coast to the iconic castle topped island of St Michael's Mount.

Stroll to the sandy beach from the comfort of this romantic Cornish cottage.

An inspiring escape by the sea for couples with a southerly aspect and captivating views from the upper floors. Spend your days beach combing the wide stretch of shoreline, exploring the scenic south west coast path, browsing the art galleries and shops or sampling the local cuisine at one of the pubs/restaurants.

When you are ready to explore the surrounding area you will find that Marazion is well placed for touring the far west.

A mile further west is the historic town of Penzance, widely recognised as the new food capital of Cornwall.

Follow the coast path to Newlyn for the freshest fish and Mousehole for a real flavour of Cornish cheer.

For a wider choice of beaches head for the powder white sand and turquiose waters of Porthcurno Beach, Sennen Cove and St Ives.

For a varied holiday experience, the landmark attractions at Land's End and The Minack Theatre are a must for the itinerary and approx 30 minutes by car.

If you feel the need to venture further then we highly recommend a day-trip to the Isles of Scilly where you will find beautiful beaches, more amazing eateries and a real holiday vibe. You will feel instantly at home at this traditional seaside cottage which is nestles beside the road in the heart of the town.

Step through a stable door into a light and airy interior combining character features with crisp white decor.

After a fun day exploring the sights and sounds of the far west, the open plan living room with its warming wood burner is the perfect oasis to relax and unwind.

The kitchen is well equipped and provides access to the steep terrace garden, which is a gorgeous sun trap, and parking for one car.

Wake up each morning to glorious sea views from en-suite bedroom located on the first floor.

Stairs lead from here to a snug on a mezzanine floor complete with plump seating and Velux windows to admire captivating sea vista.

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