“This stylish and comfortable property is perfectly placed in the middle of Marazion.”

It has everything you need and we will be staying here again.

Graham September 2024

“Our stay was lovely, and we had everything we needed to make our week perfect.”

The views from the balcony are spectacular, and watching St. Michael’s Mount lit up on a few evenings is stunning. We cannot fault a thing, and Tamsin and Matt are brilliant hosts.

“A top holiday location.”

Thank you so much we loved it. In village centre and next door to a pub, local shop and a pasty shop! Right on the south west coast path and balcony views of St Michael’s Mount. What’s not to love!?

“Absolutely loved Star house.”

It was everything we were hoping for in accommodations with fabulous views of St. Michaels Mount. It was in the perfect spot In the centre of Marazion over top of the shop Morva across the street the Kings Arms a great pup for eating and just a short walk to buses that go everywhere in cornwall. Just down the street is a great bakery "Copper Penny" for Latte and pastries. Just downstairs next door was a newstand that had basic groceries and all necessary items. Also right there a Philps Pasties, Rolys Fudge and ice cream. Will definitely be recommending to friends and would return again for another fabulous holiday ❤

“We had a lovely week at Star house.”

The house is well appointed, spacious and warm. It is handy for all sorts of little ‘gems’ on the Cornish coast and for long dog walks on the beaches nearby. The view from the balcony is stunning as are the various other views afforded by its situation. We had lots of inclement weather, including a couple of storms but this did not matter at all as it was always nice to return to our cosy base.

“We had an amazing stay at Star House.”

The property was lovely and we had everything we needed for our stay. The views from the balcony are spectacular! Marazion was beautiful and a great base for exploring Cornwall. Tamsin and Mark were great hosts and made sure that we still had heating after the power cut caused by the storm. Thank you for the flowers and wine, they were very much appreciated. We will be recommending Star Cottage to our family and friends

Andrea October 2023

“We’ve just had the most wonderful week at Star House for October half term.”

From the moment we arrived at the most perfect gift shop to collect keys, everything was outstanding. The house was so beautifully styled and it had everything and more to make our stay wonderful. The views our so unbelievably gorgeous. Waking up to it everyday was so special. The location is perfect - the beach is your back garden, rock pools one side and perfect sandy beach the other side. We had hours of fun. It was the most perfect holiday home we have ever stayed in. Thank you so much. We can’t wait to come back!

- Andrea, October 2023
Tessa October 2023

“This is such a great flat.”

We love the views out towards the Mount whilst also getting the benefits of the local facilities on our doorstep. The beds are very comfortable - as are the sofas. The flat I’d really well equipped and Tamsin is such a lovely host.

- Tessa, October 2023
Andy September 2023

“A wonderful location with a beautiful view of St Michaels mount.”

The owners are very friendly and helpful, with the shop selling locally made items at reasonable prices. All mod cons included in accomodation and a friendly pub over the road. Lots of interesting places nearby to visit.

Kristina July 2023

“Our family had a wonderful time.”

The Star House was absolutely beautiful and in the BEST location in the village. We had incredible sea views from most windows and it was an absolute pleasure staying in the house. The beds were all very comfy and my two boys had a blast in the bunk beds. Facilities in the house are 10/10. Tamsin and Matt are brilliant hosts. We cannot fault a thing. I loved the decor in the house. We had some lovely meals too at some of the local restaurants. We didn’t want to leave…. We had bad luck with the Cornwall weather so on the rainy days we felt cosy and happy to relax in the house with games and a book (which we don’t usually do). Thank you once again to the amazing hosts for there wonderful house…. Highly recommend if visiting Marazion!

“One of the best places we have stayed in.”

Wonderful location and perfect accommodation. Definitely intend to come back. Highly recommend.

- Mark, June 2023
Stephen June 2023

“Fabulous accommodation in a perfect location.”

Stunning views of St Michaels Mount from the comfort of your bed. The owners are delightful. A great base to explore the area. We used the bus, for just £5 you can hop on and off. The electric bikes are a must, we went right round to Mousehole on them - great fun! A great holiday and plan to return.

- Stephen, June 2023
Andrew May 2023

“We stayed here for a week over the May half term and had a truly memorable holiday, blessed by the weather and with the best view anywhere on the British coast from our balcony - the castle even lit up at night to celebrate the birth of a new St Aubyn.”

The beach is right by the house and perfect for kids, the sea being sheltered by the Mount, lots of clean sand for digging and rock pools to explore, full of fascinating wildlife - we even found a sea hare! The Mount itself is well worth a visit, both castle and gardens, which aren't visible from the house but are spectacular. You could easily spend a week just enjoying the seaside, but there's plenty to do within a few miles of Marazion - we also visited the seawater lido in Penzance, Land's End and the Eden Project, and took a wildlife spotting boat trip, and still managed plenty of time at the beach. Shame that the council have barred off what would have been the perfect backdoor route to the beach while repairing the quay - although we did crawl under it a couple of times! - but the next entrance is only around the corner, by the Godolphin Hotel. It's a beautiful house with character, incredibly spacious, spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, thoughtfully provided with everything you could possibly need - even a pair of binoculars by the balcony, which was great as we'd forgotten ours, lots of books, and some buckets and spades and a set of boules down in the entrance cubbyholes. We hardly used the living room and just stayed out on the balcony. The view from the middle floor bedroom is also fantastic, not that our computer obsessed teenager took much notice! Great fun to watch people attempting to cross the causeway before it was fully uncovered, boats, seabirds and dogs on the beach (which is dog friendly all months except Jul-Aug, but locals are scrupulous about picking up). The shops next door sell delicious pasties and boxed cream teas (we took one up to the Mount and had a picnic), ice cream and fudge and the gift shop under the house (run by Tamzin and Matt) has a lovely range of souvenirs by local artists. We managed to eat locally almost every night, including a chippy tea, but be warned the queues at the chip shop are tremendous, and you must book in advance at the Cutty Sark restaurant. Marazion is very small (and charming) but gets a high number of tourists because of the Mount. Closing times are also earlier than visitors from big cities might expect! However, the food everywhere was tasty and local with friendly service. If you do want to self-cater, the kitchen is fully applianced, and all the supermarkets are minutes away by car, this side of Penzance. Parking is a slight issue but the long-stay parking has plenty of room and is only 5 minutes' walk away, right by the beach. It costs £50 for a week. There are a couple of spaces in front of the shop for unloading, with a half hour max stay so we managed to nip in there when needed. In all, a perfect holiday, and we would definitely come back here or recommend it to others.

“Star House is in the centre of lovely Marazion.”

There are beautiful views of St Michael’s Mount from the rear windows. It was great to watch the tides change each day from the balcony. We had a wonderful day at St Michael’s Mount going by boat and returning by the causeway. Star house is very clean and comfortable, everything we needed was supplied. The standard of furnishings is very high including comfy beds and sofas. We arrived to lovely fresh flowers and a bottle of wine on the kitchen table thank you Tamsin. There are local cafes, Restaurants and shops nearby including a Pasty shop. So many places to visit in West Cornwall, we would love to visit again soon.

“The property was excellent, comfortable, very spacious and a great location with superb views of St Michael's Mount.”

Recommend the walk to Porthleven along the coastal path

“Great little flat!”

Hosts were awesome and a VERY specious living area - our family enjoyed it…Marazion is lovely, and the flat has great views of the Mount… Well done, highly recommended may book again….

Jane October 2022

“Really lovely property.”

The photos do not do it justice. The view across to St Michael’s Mount is stunning and from every window a lovely view of the sea or the town. The bed was super comfy and it was lovely to wake up to the incredible view. Tamsin and Matt were very welcoming and it was lovely on arrival to be greeted by fresh flowers and wine. Marazion is a great base for exploring the surrounding area with plenty to see and do. Car parking is a good five minute brisk walk away but with such a grand view it was a pleasure rather than drudgery Cannot recommend Star House highly enough. Nothing disappointed.

- Jane, October 2022
Simon October 2022

“Amazing place in terms of both location and home comforts.”

We plan to stay again!

Neil September 2022

“We had an excellent week in Star House.”

Its spacious, excellently appointed and with the best views in Marazion. We enjoyed spending every evening on the balcony with a glass of something and looking out to the Mount and watching the stars come out. Our hosts were extremely friendly and full of knowledge about the area, and very kind - we left our toothbrush charger and knowing that we were still in the town Tamsin came and found us to hand it over. In terms of the town we can recommend all of the eateries, especially breakfast at the Godolphin Hotel and the Pasties from across the road.

- Neil, September 2022
Gilly September 2022

“This was our fourth visit back to Star House and as always we received a warm greeting from the owners, Tamsin and Matt.”

Fresh flowers and a lovely bottle of wine also are a lovely touch! The house has everything you need for your holiday. We travelled with another couple this time but have had grandchildren with us in the past so it lends itself to all options. My husband and I always have the top room and as early risers there is nothing better than coffee on the balcony overlooking the amazing view of the Mount ( or a glass of wine in the evening of course!) Just about the best view in Marazion! It’s a great base to explore the surrounding areas. Car parking is a short walk away but there is often a space outside the downstairs shop which is handy for unloading/ loading the car with a 30min parking time. Marazion itself is delightful! There are lots of little shops to browse and everyone is so friendly! Do go to the quiz night opposite on a Tuesday night at the Kings Arms, We had so much fun with the locals! Star House is definitely a winner every time and cannot recommend enough! and despite the intermittent rainy weather, when you

“Amazing property in a beautiful location.”

Lovely owners who were very helpful when required. Highly recommend.

- Richard, August 2022
Matt July 2022

“Probably the best view in Cornwall.”

lovely cottage. Really liked Marazion and the 30 mins parking outside was perfect for loading and unloading. Long stay was a 5 min walk and £50 for the week. Can’t complain. Little shop next door was great. Limited stock, but ok for emergencies( wine, ketchup, milk bread etc) and we’re really nice people too. Matt and Tam where perfect hosts. Never shed a tear leaving a holiday cottage before, but I did this one.

- Matt, July 2022
Nia July 2022

“The Star House is a beautiful house above a charming gift shop in the centre of the village.”

You can view the village square from the from window and can enjoy the magnificent St Michael’s mount view from both bedrooms at the back. You can enjoy a bottle of wine on the terrace from the main bedroom. Marazion is a perfect location to explore the south coast of Cornwall and Lands End to St Ives. Thanks for the chance to stay at such an idyllic location.

- Nia, July 2022
Bryan July 2022

“We had a wonderful week at Star House, the location is perfect both locally and as a base to explore Cornwall.”

The owners were lovely and being above their shop was in no way a disadvantage. Definitely a recommendation. Thanks

Stephanie July 2022

“What an absolute gem, such a perfect holiday home, comfortable, very well presented and views to die for.”

When you’re a 2 minute walk from the beach, a 30 second walk to the nearest pub, shop, bakery and fudge/ ice cream shop how can you not fall in love with Star house and.Marazion. It’s our 4th stay in Marazion, and definitely not our last. Star House ....we will be back .

Christobel June 2022

“Beautiful clean and spacious apartment in an ideal location with lovely views.”

The owners have taken great care in choosing interesting decorative features and top quality facilities with a very personal touch. I particularly liked the huge bathroom. We hope to stay again in the future.

- Christobel, June 2022
Royston May 2022

“This is a truly exceptional place to stay.”

Everything is spotless, everything you need in such a fantastic location, and sitting on the balcony looking out to St Michael's Mount is just to die for. I cannot recommend this highly enough to anyone, and we have already told Freund's and family about it. Also the Cutty Sark restaurant 30 yards away is so good we ate there three times.

- Royston, May 2022
Judith April 2022

“We absolutely loved our holiday at Star House.”

Due to the constant changes in Covid travel restrictions, we chose to spend our honeymoon in the U.K. rather than abroad and we were not disappointed. The house is fantastic and the owners had thought of everything to make sure the stay was as enjoyable as possible. We particularly loved the balcony overlooking St Michaels Mount. It was so relaxing to sit there on an evening on warm nights. The only inconvenience to the stay (we thought) would be the parking arrangements (parking in a nearby car park), but it wasn’t at all. It’s actually a nice walk to start/end your day. We loved it so much that we will definitely be back. We also forgot our house keys and Tamsin posted them back to us straight away, nothing was a bother. Thanks so much!

- Judith, April 2022
Linda April 2022

“A great holiday property.”

Very helpful owners, spacious rooms and a wonderful view of St Michael's Mount from the balcony. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will happily revisit. The place was warm and comfortable and we appreciated the gifts left on the table as a welcome. Lovely that the owners have the shop below so we actually got to meet them. The 30 mins parking outside the property is very useful for arrival and departure as the main carpark for Marazion is a short walk away. Thank you for a great holiday in your holiday home. We look forward to visiting again. The only issue we had (which is nothing to do with the holiday accommodation) was that JustPark is a complicated system: their website wouldn't let us book a space before hand and the location number we had been given for the 7 day stay is different from the location one in big numbers on the machine which took us a while to work out. Once we'd cracked that all was fine.

- Linda, April 2022
C March 2022

“Star House is a beautiful holiday home with stunning sea views.”

It is light and spacious with a very welcoming feel. Watching the sun go down from the balcony was amazing. The accommodation is arranged perfectly, the heart of the home being a lovely space for relaxing, cooking and dining. Everything we needed was there and the property was clean and well organised. The owners were very friendly and helpful, making us all feel relaxed and at home. I am looking forward to staying there again!

Jeremy September 2021

“Star House in Marazion was superb.”

The balcony has such amazing views it's hard to tear yourself away. We had breakfast almost every day on there and dinner in the evenings, not to mention several glasses of wine watching the sunsets. The house is very well equipped and big giving lots of space. Tamsin and Matt the owners are both lovely. Finding a bottle of wine and flowers on our arrival was such a welcome suprise after battling traffic. The house was so welcoming and clean we would have no hesitation in reccomending this property and will definately be back. Thank you.

- Jeremy, September 2021
Michael September 2021

“Second time we have stayed at Star house and it is very clean and comfortable.”

Tamsin & Mat are at hand if anything is wrong or if you have questions as they are in the shop below the flat. There is plenty of room and a lovely little balcony which over looks St Michaels mount. There is an information book in the flat and it has all the information you require with contact numbers and places to go. Last time we stayed the parking was a lot nearer but now Just parks has taken over and you now have to park in the long stay car park which is further down the road. This was our only issue as if we needed the car it is a good 5 minute walk to the car park. You can buy a weekly ticket via their web site for £50 or do what we did and look around their web site as people with large drive ways rent space out for your holiday and this only cost us £45.50.

- Michael, September 2021
Kelly August 2021

“Absolutely beautiful property.”

Owners were so friendly and welcoming. Everything you need is there. Very thoughtful little touches like fresh flowers and a bottle of wine. Extra comfy beds and sofas. The views are amazing and we didn't want to come home. You can park for a short amount of time in one of the parking bays to offload luggage or shopping, then the main long stay car park is a short walk away.

Stuart December 2020

“Wow what can I say, I didn't want to do a good review as I am worried that when I come to book again I won't be able to get it!”

Prior to arrival we were called by the owner telling us we could get in early which was good as the traffic was light so were arrived in the area sooner than expected. The owners were super friendly and offered to help where they could if we needed it. We picked this place due to the vicinity of the beach and the views and we were not disappointed. We took our dog and due to staying off season he was allowed on the beach. This is something to remember as there are restrictions in the summer time for dogs on the beach. The shop below was lovely and if you book this cottage you get a 10% discount, I can tell you we made the most of that! It is situated in the middle of the village and very close to amenities, I can recommend the Godolphin for food, we ate there Sunday afternoon and the roast was immense. This was a lovely property beautifully decorated and plenty of room we could have stayed there weeks. The bathroom's were lovely and clean my daughter enjoyed the bath and the showers were spacious. We used the woodburner most evenings to add atmosphere and it kicked out plenty of heat, it was easy to use and set up. The kitchen had all you could need to cook up a storm which we did most of the time we were there. I cannot fault this place it was fab and we will stay again! Thank you

“Star House is a Brilliant base for a holiday, fully equipped for all you might need & ideally located in the centre of Marazion - next door to a post office/general store & a bakery that sells great pasties and cakes and across the road from a local pub - the Kings Arms.”

There are other pubs and cafes located close by. There are steps down to the beach within 30 seconds from the front door of the apartment, which is located above a gift shop. Both bedrooms, on the 1st & 2nd floor have views of St. Michaels Mount and the balcony attached to the top floor bedroom is the perfect location to watch/photograph the sunrise & sunset & the stars at night in a perfectly dark sky or simply sit and watch as people cross the causeway to St. Michaels Mount. The owners, Tamsin & Matt work in the shop on the ground floor are friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. They told me of the best place to view a murmuration of starlings at sunset over the Marazion marshes. Overall Star House is a perfect base for a holiday & I am considering booking again for next year.

“I received a text to tell me our accommodation was ready and the check in was very smooth and pleasant.”

The accommodation was fantastic, it was clean, comfortable and we couldn't have asked for a better location. Every thing was at hand and we only used our car once because the local transport was very good. We can not wait to go back and spend more time at Star House.

- Michael, August 2020

Paul September 2019

“Matt and Tamsin very helpful.”

Apartment is great. We will go again I am sure. Great location. One shower ran a bit hot, Matt kindly dropped in to check and the bedside lights in the lower bedroom are very dim, like a 1930s guest house!! A Toc H lamp as they used to say! We took a bright bedside light from upstairs. Tip top.

- Paul, September 2019
Gilly September 2019

“This holiday property is amazing and exceeded our expectations!”

The view from the balcony is stunning and it was wonderful sitting watching the world go by! Tamsin and Matt are on hand if you need anything and all the little things were provided in the property to save us having to buy large quantities of necessities for just a week. The bottle of wine was also a welcome treat on arrival! Already planning our return next year!

- Gilly, September 2019
Stanley July 2019

“Excellent, spacious accommodation in a stunning location.”

Although situated above a shop on the main street of Marazion directly opposite the Kings Arms pub, only the living room/kitchen overlooked the main street. The bedrooms were situated at the rear of the property with excellent sea views and views of St. Michaels Mount. Very quiet at night. 2 bathrooms, 1 en-suite plus a separate toilet in the utility room so family members are not queueing for the facilities. 1 criticism, no wardrobe or hanging rail in either bedroom, could do certainly with a hanging rail in each, but plenty of drawer space. Highly recommended and would certainly return

“The setting is incredible.”

.. We couldn't stop gazing out the windows at the jaw dropping St Michael's Mount. Everything was so close to hand, and a beautiful beach on our doorstep. Tasmin and Matt couldn't have been more welcoming and accommodating. Can't wait to go back.

- Christina, June 2019
Harriet May 2019

“We had a lovely time at Star House.”

It is a beautiful spot. The property had everything we needed for our stay. The children loved the bunk beds and books to read and had lots of fun in the roll top bath.

Julie May 2019

“Star House is a comfortable, well equipped apartment with a stunning view of St Michael's Mount, and was even better than it looked online.”

It was an especial treat to sit on the balcony watching the boats ferrying people to the Mount and back when the tide was in.The owners were very welcoming and helpful. The location was perfect: close to the shops and pubs of Marazion, as well as the beach and causeway to St Michael's Mount. Supermarkets were a short drive (or bus ride) away. We were able to park in the public car park a short distance away, at the cost of £4.50 per day. As well as using the car for visiting places outside Marazion, we were also able to use the bus direct to some places, or by changing at Penzance. We had a fabulous holiday and would be more than happy to return to Star House/recommend it to others.

- Julie, May 2019

Linda November 2018

“All the photographs show everything accurately in 2D.”

When you experience it for real, it is so much more. One of the best locations I've ever stayed in, and Tasmin and Matt are perfect hosts. My friend and I used the apartment as a writers' retreat and had an extremely productive week in our two rooms with a view. Marazion is blessed with good eateries, but we became regulars at the Copper Spoon after the first visit. Six stars.

- Linda, November 2018
Louise August 2018

“Wow! What a find.”

A superb apartment in a magnificent setting. A clean, comfortable and well styled apartment with stunning views of St Michael's Mount. The location was perfect with shops, eateries and the local pub all on the doorstep and a park for the children just a few minutes walk away. For those like us who do like to cook meals in, the kitchen is well stocked with utensils. Matt and Tamsin are fabulous hosts and always happy to help. The fresh flowers and bottle of wine after a long journey were a lovely touch. The apartment is great for children and there is plenty to entertain them with. A walk over the causeway to St Michaels Mount is a must and the local museum was very interesting. The beach is close by and always a winner whether swimsuit or wellies weather! We also enjoyed a day trip to St Ives which is just a short train ride away. Overall, a very enjoyable, fun and relaxing stay. We would love to return to Star House for another holiday.

Kerry May 2018

“Gorgeous! We have stayed in many self catering properties but Star House was by far the loveliest and most well-equipped place we’ve been to.”

Fantastic location - so easy for early morning or late evening walks along the beach. Our boys absolutely loved the property and want us to build a balcony at home (although replicating the spectacular view of St Michael’s Mount won’t be easy!) The parking was really easy to manage (even over the busy May half-term). No need to be concerned about the property being over a shop - we were never disturbed, and indeed it was quite a bonus having such a lovely shop right on your door stop. We highly recommend a stay at Star House.

- Kerry, May 2018
Peter March 2018

“What a delightful holiday cottage, clean and comfortable with all mod cons and smoke/heat alarms/carbon monoxide sensors provided.”

All you need for holiday convenience is there – wi-fi, usb charging sockets, heating, hot water, wonderful showers and a deep bath with a sea view, a dishwasher (so you don’t have to, you are on holiday!), washing machine, and iron and ironing board (not for me on holiday!). After a busy day out, you can relax on the balcony watching the sun go down over the Gem in Cornwall’s crown, St Michael’s Mount, perhaps chill out by the log burner listening to the Bluetooth speaker, or listening for the town clock chiming the hours, or maybe watch a film on the TV. And when the wine runs out, the shop is just next door! We cooked some delicious meals in the well utensiled kitchen but if that’s too much effort you can stroll outside to the Kings Arms in 10 seconds or the Godolphin Hotel in 30 seconds and delicious fish and chips are only one minutes’ walk away if you want to eat out. Star House is both kid and dog friendly with large bright rooms, comfortable large beds and for the children, fantastic bunk beds – and if it’s raining outside, the house is ideal for a superb game of hide and seek. The extremely friendly owners, Matt and Tamsin are always available to help if necessary and we appreciated the welcoming bottle of wine and bunch of daffodils that welcomed us when we arrived. Thank you both for creating this high quality new holiday accommodation for us to enjoy and make some happy family memories in. The entire process of booking with Sykes was simple and efficient and we would definitely do so again.

“As you can see from our ratings above we would highly recommend this holiday accommodation to those who wish to just chill or as a base for those wishing to explore the Cornish Peninsula (a walkers paradise).”

Marazion has everything in respect of pubs/restaurants/tea rooms, a general store and gift shops. You must walk the causeway to St Michael’s Mount if only to say that you did it! If we had to find any negatives with our stay we were unable to purchase a weekly parking ticket, although the parking attendants were particularly friendly and helpful in ensuring we didn’t incur the Authorities wrath or any penalties. The accommodation itself (in our opinion) would benefit if a microwave oven and more adequate cooking utensils could be provided but this is just mere detail that did not deflect in anyway our fantastic stay. Tamsin & Matt the owners were found as were the locals most friendly and helpful in every way.

“Wonderful holiday in a spotlessly clean cosy home from home place.”

The owners Tamsin and Matt were welcoming and helpful. Best views in Cornwall right outside our windows. Just perfect.

“We spent Christmas here.”

We had a fantastic time, Christmas carols on the square, walks on the beach, fantastic views of village and sea. Wonderful view of St Michael's Mount from the top balcony. Free parking in the winter months, which you don't always get in Cornwall. Will definitely visit this beautiful property again.

“Fabulous accommodation and location.”

All facilities and food close to hand. Two minor issues. It would be useful if both the shower cubicles had hand rails for support. Due to the size of the cubicles we had difficulty finding a secure hold during showering. We missed not having any wardrobe space.

“The property is bright, spacious, well equipped and was beautifully furnished.”

The views across the sea to St Michaels Mount are truly stunning.
