About this property

Open plan house 1 minute to beach and St Michaels Mount causeway

Sarnia cottage offers spacious accommodation with open plan lounge/kitchen/diner, a cosy wood burning stove and a bright sun lounge. New heating system was installed in 2020 and is operated via an app. The bathroom was newly fitted in 2019 with a stylish, modern shower.
The well equipped kitchen includes dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, toaster and fridge/freezer.
The patio for barbecues is a lovely sun trap.
There is a smart TV, unlimited wifi and a landline which can receive incoming calls. During the winter of 2023 we have resanded the living room and dining room and sanded the 2 main bedrooms. There is a new carpet on the stairs, landing and small bedroom. It has been redecorated throughout.

Upstairs
There are two double bedrooms and a third bedroom with bunks.
The front bedroom has two 2"6 singles which can be a king size double if attached. The second bedroom has a regular double bed. This bedroom leads out onto the balcony which has beautiful sea views and is perfect for an evening drink.
Upstairs there is another toilet and washbasin.

My sister and I had a lovely stay at the property. Location was perfect. Cottage was warm….mainly controlled by host on an app, but could always message for temperature to be increased though we didn’t need to Only downside was having to pay extra for parking in long stay car park. Added more expense to the holiday Would stay there again though

Lovely place to stay

Ideal for 3 generation family so we had more time with our son, daughter in law and young grandchildren. Open plan layout made it ideal for giving the children more space to play whilst always being within sight of adults. The children’s playground near the beach had new equipment Installed over the winter which the children, aged 3 and 7, very much enjoyed whilst the adults also enjoyed views of St Michael’s Mount from the playground and being able to quickly return to the house or car in changeable weather. We had a lot of wet, windy weather with little sun but still had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the views of the sea from the house and very much appreciated log fires in the evenings.

Excellent location.

Myself and 4 friends have just stayed in Sarnia Cottage for an amazing long weekend. The cottage is very comfortable and cosy, everything there that we needed. Excellent location in the heart of Marazion. Beach and pubs very close walking distance. We especially liked The Godolphin Hotel, looking out to St Michael’s Mount. We’re hoping to book to come back again next year!

Sarnia Cottage

I would definitely recommend this cottage to family and friends. The location was perfect, shops, pubs and the beach all within walking distance. The long stay car park was just down the road, so no problem with parking and very easy to register for a week. We took our dog with us and found plenty of nice walks around Marazion. We enjoyed our stay so much, we are hoping to stay at Sarnia Cottage again.

Great location for the beach, generally all ok, some minor issues with cups and plates needing a wash but thats down to previous visitors. Possibly needed a bit more of an in-depth clean and cobweb removal but nothing to spoil a great holiday.

Location fantastic

House in general was OK only negative is the beds were bit shabby and duvets were old/saggy and stained which if we hadn't had to take our own bed linen we probably wouldn't have seen... the queen size bed in master room had a protector cover on mattress but the fitted sheet I took was a double so couldn't use it and had to sleep on protective sheet not ideal ... parking was also on downside but not as bad as we expected but added to costs of course but that is mentioned in description otherwise an enjoyable few days and walk in shower was wonderful ....

A lovely holiday

I stayed at this place with my family and we had a great time! The house is very cute and cozy with a well equipped kitchen and a lovely shower. The location is amazing, literally a couple of minutes away from the beach! Susanna was a great host, always friendly and responded quickly to my messages. Would definitely stay at this house again!

Lovely base for a family holiday

A very relaxing short break in a beautiful place. Sarnia feels like a home from home and has clearly been loved and looked after by its owners. Very comfortable and light and airy. The area and Marazion are delightful and there are several brilliant restaurants and pubs within walking distance. We also loved St Michael's Mount. You do need to work around the parking and car loading and unloading logistics but that had no impact on our enjoyment and is very clearly explained on the property description. A small price to pay for being in the historical centre of this charming town. Highly recommended.

Beautiful location

We stayed at Sarnia cottage with our 3 girls, aged 12 years, 8 years and 4 years. We absolutely loved our stay there. The cottage is beautiful and in a beautiful little village in Marazion. The only downfall was the parking as it’s down the road, but it wasn’t a major issue for us apart from unloading and loading when we arrived and was leaving. The cottage is literally a stone throw away from the beach. Everything is on the doorstep, local shops, pubs, restaurant and chippy. St Michaels Mount looks beautiful all lit up at night. We certainly enjoyed our stay and will definitely love to visit again. Thank you

About the host

Hosted by Susanna Hughes

Host profile image
I grew up in the village of Marazion, went to school in Penzance, and have always loved West Penwith. My 2 children also love Marazion, as do their partners and now my grandchildren. We all visit regularly, separately or sometimes all together!

Why they chose this property

We chose Sarnia because it is adjacent to Tresco, which was the cottage I grew up in, now owned by my niece Jane (the two cottages can be rented together and would then accommodate 12).

What makes this property unique

Just 2 minutes from the beach
The beach is very safe for young children
The causeway to St.Michael's Mount is 2 mins away
Very close to all village shops and amenities
Excellent restaurants just 2 mins walk away
All mod cons as furnished for our own use.
Storage heaters and woodburning stove.
Back patio and balcony get afternoon and early evening sun. Ideal for BBQs.
