We had a lovely stay! The conservatory and the garden with the view of the sea and St Michael's Mount are amazing, it was so nice to relax there after a day out. The kitchen is well equipped. Our beds were very comfortable.

Shellseekers is a beautiful cottage with everything needed for a self catering holiday. The view towards St Michael's mount is stunning and the town centre just a short walk away. We will definitely book this cottage again when we next come back to Cornwall.

Had a fabulous week. The owner Phil was friendly. Absolutely loved every aspect of the cottage, and the view was stunning. The only downside would be if you had Limited mobility as it is a steep climb if walking back from the village. Apart from this, I would thoroughly recommend it. Definately would like to come back.

The view was amazing over St Michael's Mount. We were lucky to have brilliant weather, but had we not, we could easily just have sat in the sunlounge reading and enjoying the view. The cottage was very comfortable with good facilities.

A thoroughly enjoyable stay at Shellseekers cottage in Marazion with wonderful views of St Michael's Mount from the cosy sun area at the back. The cottage is perfect for two adults and well equipped. The position gives good views of the bay and access to the cost path, although you do need to be fairly fit to manage uphill walking from the centre oRead moref Marazion. It proved very helpful to be able to park in the owner's B&B opposite as parking is very scarce along the main road. Very convenient for walking and travelling to many coves and beaches on both sides of the Cornish coast which is quite beautiful. Hide
