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.

Marazion is on the South West coast path, and there are stunning walks to be found nearby and around the Lizard and Lands End peninsulars.

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!

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 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.

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 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.

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

About the host

Hosted by Susanna Hughes's daughter

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.
