The View

Contemporary holiday home with spectacular sea views

Sleeps 11 in 6 bedrooms (+ cots) Saturday arrival Up to two well behaved dogs welcome
The Retreat

A fabulous large holiday home, The View in Marazion sleeps up to 11 guests in comfort and style. Six spacious bedrooms and two generous living areas make this home perfect for two families to share and socialise in, and the views across Mount’s Bay and over to St Michael’s Mount are unbeatable.

As well as providing a spacious and stylish interior, The View is also in an excellent location; set on the edge of picturesque Marazion, with its tiny shops, art galleries, and excellent cafés & restaurants — and with the spectacular coastline of Mount’s Bay on your doorstep, just waiting to be explored.

Inside The View

Before you even step into The View you are met with sensational views across the bay, giving you a taste of what to expect once you’re inside this fabulous home. As you step over the threshold into the interior, you are greeted with a large, bright and airy entrance hall, which leads off to the stylish open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, which is one of the show-stopping features of the property. These spaces flow together with the kitchen/dining space opening through to the living room — making an ideal social space for an easygoing and carefree holiday. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped, and the living room has stunning views in two directions and opens out onto the balcony, facing south and west to make the best of sunny afternoons and spectacular sunsets. Three of the six spacious bedrooms are here on the first floor, one is a commanding en-suite with excellent sea views, then there is another lovely double room and a singe, as well as the family bathroom.

The lower floor benefits from an additional living area; the perfect space for you to get away from it all, for children or young adults to entertain themselves, or even for a second family to use. A further three bedrooms can be found on this level; one is en-suite, and there are two twins — as well a good sized shower room; a book case and activity chest on the lower landing provide plenty of games and things to do too.

Ample off-road parking for up to three cars is located at the back of the house, out of the way where they won’t disrupt your views. A large well-kept garden stretches round to the side and the front of the house with outdoor dining furniture; the perfect escape from a hard day’s work on the beach or exploring the local area.

Out and about

The tiny and popular heritage town of Marazion lies just moments away; you can wander down to it in a few minutes and either browse the boutique shops and galleries, spend time in cafés or the excellent local pub — or stroll over to the epic sweeping beach that stretches for two miles all the way to Penzance. Of course the unmissable thing to do is visit the Mount. At low tide you can walk across the historic cobbled causeway to the castle-topped island (National Trust), where you will find fairy-tale turrets, dazzling views and sub-tropical gardens, and a church dating back to medieval times. When the tide is high a boatman will take you across… We highly recommend walking out and boating back (or vice versa!). The beach here is one of the best — sandy, gently sloping, lifeguarded in summer and huge.

For food and drink, head to Ben’s Cornish Kitchen (book in advance) where you will find local produce simply cooked in comfortable surroundings. For pubs choose from the iconic Godolphin Arms with its contemporary beachside restaurant, or The King’s Arms pub is in the heart of the town, serving up the best in local ales with a small beer garden; ideal for people watching!

Nearby to the west are Penzance, Newlyn and Mousehole, famed equally for pirates, art and fishing. To the east are miles of gorgeous coastal path leading to pretty Perranuthanoe and Prussia Cove… and on as far as your legs will carry you. Tremenheere Sculpure Gardens is situated just a couple of miles away from Marazion, where modern art installations line exotic plant-filled gardens, offering panoramic views of the bay. Whilst The View provides all of the comforts you could ask for in a holiday home, there is plenty to see and door when/if you step out the door.

Things we love

The fact that The View has two comfortable, well-equipped living areas is most certainly a desirable element of a house this size. The downstairs living area opens up to the large, lush garden through sliding doors, allowing children or young adults to use this area, whilst the adults enjoy breathtaking views from the kitchen-diner-living space upstairs. The house provides the perfect retreat within a retreat; if you are looking for a place that is suitable for a large family, or a couple of families then The View is the right choice. Of course the best thing about The View is… you’ve guessed it — the view! As many of our guests have commented, you could just sit and look at it all day.

Very comfortable
Fantastic location, especially the view and very well equipped kitchen. Lots of very comfortable space for us and the dogs! We would love to come back.

Location

MOUNT'S BAY

This beautiful expanse of coast sweeps in a gigantic horseshoe shape from Porthleven to Mousehole on Cornwall’s south coast. It’s our largest bay and boasts panoramic ocean views from dramatic cliff tops, pristine sandy beaches and unspoilt fishing villages – plus of course many miles of the south west coast path waiting to be explored right on your doorstep. There is simply no better place to be.

Mount's Bay is home to the majestic St. Michael's Mount

Guests Say
  • Will definitely be returning

    Second stay and will definitely be returning. Dog also very much enjoys her stays — especially Porthkidney Sands, Praa Sands and Marazion beach. Great food at the Old Coastguard in Mousehole. Until next year.

    The Osborns & Donegans — November 2023
  • Wonderful

    This is the second year we have stayed here. A lovely house. Have had a wonderful time.

    Sarah & family — October 2023
  • Such amazing views

    Fantastic location, such amazing views. The house is lovely and so well equipped. We've had a great holiday with beautiful weather. We would highly recommend a trip to the Scilly Isles by boat from Penzance harbour and St Michael's Mount is a must, such a special place. Praa Sands was a great place to swim, body board and surf. We have all had such a relaxing holiday.

    The Apps family — June 2023
  • Fabulous home away from home!

    Fabulous home away from home! Everything you could want or need with breathtaking views and scenery! Throughly enjoyed our week. Fully relaxed including William (dog). Thank you, we shall definitely be back.

    The Dronfield family — May 2023
  • Very comfortable

    Fantastic location, especially the view and very well equipped kitchen. Lots of very comfortable space for us and the dogs! We would love to come back.

    Sue & friends — February 2023
  • Very happy

    A lovely stay here. Very happy with the house and everything it has to offer. Will definitely be back. A trip to St Ives is a must and Land's End was good to visit too.

    The H & P families — New Year 2023
  • So much space for everyone

    Amazing house and views. The weather wasn't very kind to us but we didn't mind staying in, relaxing and enjoying the fantastic views. There were eight of us here (four families) but so much space for everyone. The market town of Marazion was only a 10 minute walk.

    Unknown — November 2022
  • Very pleasant house

    Very pleasant house — well appointed. Throughly enjoyed the view, balcony and the amenities, as well as the beaches and surrounding area.

    The Longden/May family — July 2022
  • Superb location with outstanding views

    Lovely house, well equipped and presented. Superb location with outstanding views. Enjoyed visits to St Ives (busy but excellent park and ride) — something for everyone from beaches, shops, galleries to a variety of eateries. Gorgeous sands at Gwithian and National Trust at Godrevy well worth a trip. Our all time favourite is Mousehole — got engaged and had honeymoon there and still a special place.

    Karen & Andrew — May 2022
  • The best place we have stayed in

    It had everything we needed to enjoy the holiday and enhance our experience of being in Cornwall again. This is the third time in Cornwall and this is by far the best place we have stayed in. I would highly recommend this house to anyone, the location is fantastic and the view is incredible. A great base to see many places in Cornwall. If I get the chance I will definitely be going back.

    Mr Webb — September 2018

    I could have looked at the magnificent view the whole time we were there.
