About this property
Barn conversion | 2 bathrooms | Hot tub | Close to Marazion and St Ives.
Just a short drive from Marazion, Herb Cottage is well equipped for families
A beautifully presented barn conversion with garden and private hot tub, just 2.5 miles from the beach. Herb Cottage is perfect for couples and small families with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. You will be welcomed with a welcome hamper with local produce worth over £35.00.
The sandy beach at Perranuthnoe on the south coast is just 2.5 miles away and Marazion, home of the iconic St Michael's Mount is within 3 miles. The immediate surroundings are rural and peaceful – you can walk in the owners daffodil strewn meadow or explore footpaths from the doorstep.
There are plenty of beaches to choose from within a short drive, try surfing at Praa Sands or Gwithian or simply mess about in Rock Pools at Perranuthnoe and Marazion.
Foodies will be in heaven with some truly fabulous restaurants on the doorstep. Don’t miss Ben’s Cornish Kitchen in Marazion, The Victoria Inn at Perranuthnoe or venture a few miles further along the coast to Porthleven to Rick Stein. Penzance and St Ives are within 10 and 20 minutes drive respectively and we also recommend heading to Mousehole and Porthcurno for perfect Cornish Coves.
The interior has been carefully refurbished to provide light and bright reverse level accommodation. The first floor is home to a lovely sitting room with vaulted ceiling and wood burning stove plus a cosy kitchen/dining room with bespoke handmade country kitchen with granite worktops.
The two bedrooms are either end of the ground floor, comprising a king and twin room, both with pocket sprung mattresses and a goose down topper in the master bedroom. A super smart bathroom with claw foot bath and separate shower sit between the bedrooms plus there is a further shower room with WC on the first floor. Dressing gowns and slippers provided.
Just outside the barn on a little private terrace is the cedar clad hot tub; stargazers will experience incredible night skies in this tranquil hideaway. There is a small al-fresco dining area adjacent to the hot tub and guests also have access to the pretty cottage garden and daffodil meadow beyond. Herb Cottage is situated in the grounds of the owners home in a small hamlet within easy reach of West Cornwall's beaches, towns and many attractions.
Please note this property has a Saturday change over as standard Short breaks may also be available outside of the main season.

Why they chose this property
The best way to answer 'why this property' is to quote a guest review they left.
"What an absolutely gorgeous place. Totally idyllic. The lovely owners, Becky and Richard, have thought of everything and then thought even more and improved on perfection.
The cottage is beautifully decorated - cozy and not at all too precious. It really is so welcoming. Everything you could possibly desire is there. Shelves of new fiction and non fiction incase you’ve forgotten a book - not an ancient foxed Catherine Cookson or Stephen King in sight. Current dvds.
The hot tub is fantastic . We looked forward to using it every night.
Ted, the most adorable doggy in the universe, will come and say hello.
Honestly, we couldn’t think of even a teeny tiny negative aspect to our week away. The beds are sooooo comfy. If you have children in your party then they will be thrilled to find toys in the cottage and a selection of dvds just for them.
We recommend Herb Cottage wholeheartedly."

"This is one of the best holiday homes that we’ve ever rented. It is so comfortable and has absolutely everything and more good quality equipment than you’d need.
It’s in a great location for exploring the beauty of the far south west, very handy for SW Coast Path, Marazion, Penzance, St Michael's Mount and many other wonderful locations.
Becky and Richard are really wonderful hosts and the welcome pack was such a generous and thoughtful gesture."
