With an interior to envy, the owners’ passion for creating beautiful spaces is evident in the home’s unique styling, furnishings and colour palette which strike just the right balance between elegance and practicality.

The cottage with its whitewashed walls and muted naturals has an ethereal charm about it and is laid out over three floors. French-inspired furniture, reclaimed weathered planks and stripped floorboards sit alongside original period features like sash windows, fireplace lintels and chunky reveals. There are cosy spaces to retreat to and welcoming spaces to come together in, including a gorgeous, fully equipped first floor kitchen, and the living area with its log-burner and views of both the sea and St Michaels Mount.

Three bedrooms including a master king, twin room and single as well as a large family bathroom with decadent roll top bath mean there’s plenty of space for a party of five guests. Outside, a tiled Mediterranean-esque courtyard garden with pots, planting, table and seating is where you’ll be able to soak up the Cornish sunshine, and the outdoor shower with hot water is perfect for washing away the Marazion Beach sand after a day spent building sandcastles, sunbathing or paddle boarding.

Ideally placed within the village and on the coast, there are a selection of wonderful beaches to explore both on the doorstep and further afield including Perranunthnoe, Sennen and Prussia coves, Carbis Bay and Porthcurno. A wealth of coastal paths and walks in the area offer plenty of opportunity to relish some of the most spectacular sea and landscape views including those of St Michaels Mount, while within the village are an abundance of independent shops, art galleries and restaurants.

*Please note that there is a small gap under the fence and side gate which dog owners should be aware of for their safety

Lovely property

A delightful house located about half a mile up the road from the centre of Marazion and with a decent view of St Michael's Mount. . Perfect spot for walking, either directly from the house away from the town and onto the Coastal Path or a short drive - would highly recommend St Ives and Penrose Hill. The house has a lovely vibe being simply but beautifully furnished. All arrangements went well and the designated parking off road at a nearby hotel is just a short walk back to the house.
We had a great week as the weather was so good - we were thinking about a Greek island for a week but so glad we stayed in this house.

It’s great to know you enjoyed the walking opportunities nearby and found the parking arrangements convenient. We’re especially glad the weather was on your side and that you chose to stay with us instead of heading to a Greek island, what a compliment! We’d love to welcome you back in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Carvossa. The cottage is beautiful, with lots of attention to detail, such as little biscuits for tea/coffee, poo bags for the dog, toiletries in the bathroom.
Unfortunately the weather wasn’t quite warm enough to use the outdoor shower, but it was really convenient to hose down our dog after a walk on the beach.
The location of Marazion is ideal to explore the whole of Cornwall. A parking space was provided just a few minutes’ walk up the road.
The cottage is within easy walking distance to the shops, cafés and pubs - the restaurant at the Godolphin Hotel was great. Worth mentioning that it is hilly - we had my 80 year old Dad with us.
Although Marazion is busy with tourists, it is far less crowded than some places in Cornwall, and the beaches are great, both for humans and dogs.
Highly recommend Carvossa and we will definitely come again.
Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.
