Description

The Old Cowshed, with stunning coastal views, sleeps up to six guests. Situated in Marazion, a quaint, historic town with friendly pubs and restaurants and engaging local art galleries, you are just a stone's throw from sandy beaches and scenic coastal walks. The town is most famous for St Michael’s Mount, an ancient and historic castle perched on an island in the bay. At low tide you can saunter across the causeway where a legendary giant once strode, or at high tide you can catch a boat. The Old Cowshed is a quirky granite cottage with light and stylish interiors. It’s also a real suntrap, making it the perfect place to unwind with a cool drink. On balmy evenings, sit back on the balcony and watch the sun set over St Michael’s Mount. A sun-dappled haven, The Old Cowshed is the perfect place for a seaside retreat.

Reviews

Fantastic place to stay, cannot recommend highly enough. Gorgeous little cottage in an amazing location, we all felt at home as soon as we walked through the door and the views speak for themselves.

Miss P,

beautiful views good location near a nice pub off road parking

Mr M,

We had the most wonderful week, beautiful cottage, beautiful views and such comfortable beds! Thank you!

Mrs T,

The cottage is quite simply lovely - you have thought of everything & its to a very high standard - home from home - we struggled to put the baby cot up - we think that it must be new without my husband using his skills we would nto have managed to get it to clip into place & a tumble drier would complete it.

Mrs M,

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.

Mr B,

We enjoyed our stay, however some things to note - the garden is not secure with a low wall and no grass for fussy dogs, the two downstairs bedrooms smell damp, the only shower is in the en suite of a downstairs bedroom, the nice mezzanine bedroom is on the top floor and the toilets are both on the lower ground floor, two flights of stairs down, so not ideal for middle of the night toilet trips, no hairdryer, there are no curtains on some windows eg kitchen next to where neighbours park their car, so get dressed before breakfast! Biggest annoyance of all is that the car space is 5-10 min walk up the road and back on yourself down the hill again - it’s behind the property but you’re not allowed to walk down the path to the parking space as it goes through the neighbours garden - presumably the owners can go through as an access route but not guests. You also cannot use the back gate. Only the front door in and out (and back door to paved garden). Plenty of positives though - location is perfect, view is stunning, lots of birds in the garden which are a joy, free netflix was fab and coffee machine with pods supplied was very welcome, well equipped kitchen (apart from no weighing scales). I think they must have used to supply welcome baskets because some of the early guest book entries said thanks for the welcome gifts, however we got absolutely nothing other than a couple of toilet rolls and hand soap in the bathrooms and kitchen, which was fine for us. Interestingly on leaving we saw the cleaners bringing in a bunch of flowers, so maybe we didn’t get anything as we were a late-ish booking with a discount.

Dr F,

Location

Marazion is home to the iconic castle of St Michael's Mount and, offering stunning views towards the Lizard Peninsula and Land's End, it's understandably a popular destination. The ancient market town has a fascinating history and claims to be the oldest town in Britain. It's a great place to visit any time of the year with an abundance of restaurants, traditional pubs, craft shops, art galleries and so much more! There's an excellent sandy beach, guarded by St Michael's Mount, that's ideal for swimming, sailing, kite surfing and all kinds of watersports. The surrounding countryside is dotted with little hamlets and quaint villages with the whole area designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) - a great location for bird watching and dolphin spotting.

Godolphin Cross, a little hamlet only 6 miles from Marazion, lies nestled at the base of Godolphin Hill within the Cornish Mining World Heritage site. From the summit of Godolphin Hill there are spectacular panoramic views over West Cornwall and the Lizard Peninsula. The nearby fishing village of Porthleven and the town of Helston are a short drive away as well as the well-known attractions of Flambards, Paradise Park and Gweek Seal Sanctuary which make excellent days out for all age groups. The Lizard Peninsula encompasses numerous picturesque coves and sandy beaches for you to enjoy including Praa Sands, Mullion and Coverack. It's an area which remains unspoilt and is definitely a real Cornish gem!
