Cottage to rent in Marazion, Cornwall

Accommodation details

The south-west tip of Cornwall is a magical place, and this sweet apartment is a little gem in its treasure chest. Marazion has a superb beach, friendly pubs and the shining jewel of St Michael's Mount within a half-mile walk, at low tide. Longrock Beach (1.5 miles) is family-safe and sandy, Prussia and Pisky Coves (4 miles) are secluded and romantic, and Perranuthoe Beach (3 miles) is a surfers' paradise, with splendid views of the Mount.

Explore the winding streets of Penzance (4 miles), with its museums and galleries and quirky independent shops, pubs and eateries. One of two apartments in the building, climb the stairs from the hall to the front door. The apartment's interior is a beautiful blend of period chic, Art Deco style and retro flourishes, with a breezy, nautical twist.

The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is a perfect space for romantic couples to feel at home. Sunsets and subtle lighting bring the space aglow in the evening, whilst during the day you're blessed with natural light and lovely vistas of Marazion and beyond. After an amorous meal of local seafood, wander the village's winding lanes and unwind on the beach before retiring to your glorious king-size four-poster bed, in your charming bedroom.

Newlyn (6 miles) is overflowing with creativity, character and charisma, and home to one of Britain's largest fishing fleets. Discover the marvels of Mousehole (8 miles), with its quirky pubs, craft shops, galleries, boutiques and restaurants. Spend a dramatic night on the cliffs at The Minack Theatre (13.5 miles), and share special moments at Land's End (14 miles).

The tin mines perched on the rocks at Botallack (12 miles) are unforgettable.
