Guest testimonials

In their own words

Very close to the centre of Marazion and even closer to the beach.
August 2025
Everything was as described, clean and working well. We had no problems and enjoyed our stay.
October 2025
This house is perfect for a family gathering. Excellent quantities of cutlery/crockery and all the equipment and condiments for family meals. The location and views are amazing, to wake up in a comfy bed and look straight at the sea and St. Michael's mount was awe inspiring. Lots of places to visit nearby, St Ives is beautiful and full of restaurants and shops, but Marazion is also beautiful with excellent pubs and restaurants.
