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.

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.

Absolutely lovely
This house was perfect in every way! We travelled with four kids and it was easy for us to stay at Sarnia. Perfect location, close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Also easy to go by bus from Marazion to different places... We want to book Sarnia cottage again for sure!! Highly recommended!

Gorgeous place to stay
Our family of 5 (2 adults + 19,17 & 14yr old) stayed at the Sarina for 5 nights and we were so comfortable. We all had a bed each, and plenty of room. The place was clean, neat and tidy. We played some games and did a puzzle that they had there. The parking was 5 mins walk from there, which was a really nice walk looking at St. Michael’s Mount on the way. It’s a great location too, such a gorgeous little village.

Great location to see the sights of Cornwall.
The cottage was very spacious for our group of 4. You could see St Michaels Mount from the upstairs balcony. The parking lot was a distance away but manageable. Some unexpected airline changes in our schedule caused us to pay for an extra day but the owners provided sheet and towel services at no cost in exchange. We enjoyed our stay at Sarnia.

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.

Top Lage, gerne wieder
Das Ferienhaus liegt fußläufig beim St. Michaels Mount, in 2 Minuten ist man am Strand. Parken muss man allerdings etwas weiter weg und es kostet 50 Pfund pro Woche. Man sollte vorher abklären, ob Bettwäsche und Handtücher inklusive sind. Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und bei allem behilflich.

Ein sehr hübsches Haus in Strandnähe, mit genügend Platz für eine 5köpfige Familie und allem was man so braucht (z.b. Waschmaschine). Die Gegend bietet viele tolle Ziele. Parken geht nur kostenpflichtig ca 10min zu Fuß entfernt.

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.

Eine Reise wert
Die Kommunikation zur Hausbesitzerin war immer sehr einfach, freundlich und alle Fragen, die ich stellte, wurden asap beantwortet. Das Haus war wie beschrieben, ordentlich und sauber mit tollem Blick aufs Meer. Es war alles da, was wir brauchten. Die Lage ist super, in nächster Ungebung zu den Pubs, Bushaltestelle und zum Meer. Marazion ist ein toller, kleiner Ort, der zwar nicht viel zu bieten hat, aber das was da ist, ist alles zauberhaft. Ein Besuch lohnt und es wird nicht unser letzter gewesen sein. Danke an Susanna, dass wir dein Haus nutzen durften.

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.

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.
