This luxury holiday home in the traditional market town of Marazion offers spectacular views of the Lizard Peninsula from its spacious balcony. It’s got space for six so is ideal for families or groups of friends keen to discover the coastal delights of West Cornwall, with two dogs welcome to come along as well. You’ll have wonderful restaurants, pubs, and independent shops and art galleries all within 1 mile, and an excellent sandy beach 300 metres away.

The inside has an unusual layout featuring a first-floor lounge with an impressive apex ceiling and a charming mezzanine level, whose painted wooden balcony overlooks the living area. On the ground floor, the spacious kitchen/diner is excellent for cooking up yummy meals. The place is gorgeously decorated with plenty of inspiring seaside-themed artwork and tasteful fittings and furniture. Outside, the walled patio is a wonderful spot for relaxing with fellow guests and is fully furnished for your comfort. The first-floor balcony boasts direct views across to St Michael’s Mount and with dining furniture, armchairs and a parasol, is also a lovely place to enjoy an evening drink with your pets nearby – you may even spot some dolphins jumping in the distance!

You’ll have a gorgeous rustic pub with a beer garden 50 metres away, and at the nearby beach you can swim and partake in water sports such as stand-up paddleboarding and surfing. The picturesque hamlet of Godolphin Cross is 6 miles away; this Cornish Mining World Heritage site is a must for history buffs, and you can enjoy panoramic vistas if you head up Godolphin Hill. For wonderful scenic walks your pets will adore, join the South West Coast Path 0.5 miles away and follow it along to Trenow Cove (2 miles) and much further, depending on how energetic you’re feeling.

A fabulous stay at the old cowshed...warm, cosy and clean with spectacular views from property and garden. The car parking space being only a short 4 minute walk was an absolute boon. Can't wait to return again in the new year.

We felt that we were paying for the view! The house was a bit tired in areas, the sofa was conservatory furniture & uncomfortable, the bedrooms smelt of damp & it could be seen on the walls and there was quite a bit of road noise. Not the relaxing break wed hoped for but ok.

Stunning holiday cottage. Fully equipped with everything you could ever need, even bird food to feed the garden birds! Beautiful views from most windows and a choice of 2 terraces to sit on and enjoy the sea view. Highly recommend this property.

Excellent property, clean, well presented had everything you could need. The views from the balcony and garden were amazing. The location is excellent 5 minutes walk from the centre of the village down a bit of hill. The village itself is beautiful, with great shops and restaurants and lovely beach. Couldn't wish for a better place to stay.

This accommodation is outstanding with lovely views, we enjoyed alfresco dining on the balcony with nice views of the sunset sky each night. The property is very suitable for a family, very clean and homely. We would definitely come again, definitely the best property we have stayed at in Cornwall.
