Overview

A spacious seaside cottage that has been lovingly restored, this traditional Cornish home has held on to its original features and offers a tranquil retreat in one of Cornwall’s best loved coastal towns.

Three comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms make the cottage ideal for families, with a large sitting room and wood burner stove creating a wonderful space to relax and unwind in. At the heart of the property you’ll find a well-equipped kitchen complete with its original Cornish range cooker, perfect for preparing a home-cooked feast, and a games room with small snooker table that will keep all of the family entertained during their stay.

The wonderful views of St Michael’s Mount can be enjoyed from the sun room and upstairs patio that leads off of the master bedroom, as well as from the outdoor dining area tucked away at the bottom of the enclosed garden – a great spot to enjoy a meal or two al fresco.

Marazion is a charming seaside town with quaint streets, narrow pavements, pretty cottages and historic buildings. The town's main beach has golden sands that stretch for nearly a mile and the water here offers fantastic conditions for sailing, paddle-boarding, kayaking and kite surfing.

Welcome to Marazion

Something about Marazion reminds us of a fairytale. With the enchanting sight of St Michaels Mount looming high above the sea and two shimmering sandy beaches, Marazion holidays are the ultimate escape from it all. The oldest town in Cornwall, this is a place of myth and legend, where ancient cottages perch on hillsides and the sound of laughter drifts from friendly pubs. The streets of the town favour quirky boutiques over chains, and the cafes don’t disappoint when it comes to fresh, local produce and hearty portions.

Overall Rating - 4.4
Family holiday with teens
4.3/5

Trevara is a charming coastal cottage with a magnificent view of St Michael’s Mount from the garden and the main bedroom. It is one of the most well equipped accommodations we have stayed in. The cottage is very long and appears to be several cottages joined together. This gives plenty of space for everyone although it does mean that the configuration upstairs is unusual. The cottage was very clean and linens and towels were of great quality. The garden is a good size and overlooks a beautiful bay. Location is 5 star. There are two fairly steep staircases that may not be ideal for those with mobility difficulties. The second bathroom is really only accessible from the smallest bedroom unless you are happy to walk through someone else’s bedroom or come down one set of stairs and back up the second staircase at the end of the property. We made it work but it might not be ideal for some groups. I have rated the condition as a 3 out of 5 because some of the furniture and decor upstairs could do with an update. Lastly, the parking is a real challenge as Praeds Lane is very narrow (circa 2m wide at one point). It can be done but we found it very stressful and I wouldn’t recommend it for a larger vehicle at all. We used the long stay parking by the mount instead for 65GBP for the week. A small price not to scratch my car! However, this did mean a 15 min walk to the car when we wanted to pop out which wasn’t ideal. Because of the parking situation we wouldn’t return despite the wonderful setting.

Great location but definitely not a luxury cottage - seen better days
2.8/5

We stayed here in April. The location is fantastic, however we booked through Luxury Coastal and this definitely isn't a luxury cottage. It felt unloved and was pretty grubby throughout, the kitchen and bathrooms in particular need a deep clean and downstairs had quite an unpleasant smell. The kitchen bin was horrid, I don't think it's ever been cleaned and it very quickly became apparent that this appeared to be the source of an ant problem in the kitchen so nothing could be left out on the counter tops. The fridge and freezer were dirty inside and out as was the tiled flooring. In the bathroom the fixtures and fitting in the showers have seen better days, and as in the kitchen the flooring needs a deep clean. The bedrooms are basic, and the bed linen smelled quite musty (there appeared to be a bag of clean linen in the outside shed so that might be why). The furniture has seen better days with cup marks on bedside tables etc. We arrived the week after Easter and I found several mini eggs wrapped in tin foil dotted around presumably from an Easter egg hunt the week before - they were hidden in plain site so really should have been spotted by the cleaning staff. All of the paint work is due to be redone, and in my bedroom the windows were so poorly fitted/maintained that the curtains blew even when the windows were shut. The windows were also dirty throughout the house and in the main bedroom there was so much condensation sometimes that you couldn't see the views. It could be a lovely place but at the moment it's just sad and unloved. Outside the patio furniture and the balcony itself haven't been looked after and it doesn't make you want to sit outside, even with the glorious view. Although I appreciate the majority of what you pay for here is the location, we would happily have found something smaller elsewhere for a similar price but which could provide the luxury feel promised in the details. It was really disappointing. Luxury Coastal need to give this property a proper inspection. We found the stay incredibly disappointing, the details online need to be more realistic, the amount we paid was a great deal of money for us and the cottage just didn't deliver which put a bit of a pall over our week. In the interests of full transparency and in fairness to the owners we did not contact anyone about the issues at the time because really none of it was something that someone could pop over and fix in a couple of hours, the cottage has been allowed to get run down and that's not a quick fix. I just think the description of the property should reflect reality. (The form here makes you put a score for customer service which we can't really rate as we didn't test it so I've gone middle of the road with 3). Happy to provide pictures to the owner (including one of a slug crawling along the bathroom window sill - on the inside).

4.7/5

What a wonderful place, hidden away from the bustle but so easy to get to all that Marazion has to offer. The cottage itself was lovely, it has a great quirkiness about it which comes from its history. Lovely master bedroom and the roof terrace was wonderful, it was a cold February stay but the sun came out one day so we enjoyed a glass of wine overlooking St Michael’s Mount. The two twin rooms were also lovely. The bathrooms were also great, good powerful showers and nice and warm. The log burner in the lounge was so lovely on the cold nights and made the place so cosy! We came in February to blow the cobwebs away and Cornwall didn’t let us down but it stayed dry so good for exploring the coast but if it had been wet the cottage would be perfect for cosy films or a game of pool in the games room. I didn’t use the parking as I had walked up to check it out having read it was tight. Suggest doing that if visiting and only trying it if you are sure, parking bin the long stay is a small price to pay for a stay in an authentic Cornish hideaway.

We had a wonderful week at Trevara. The house had everything we needed and it was perfectly situated to explore the Cornish coastline. Amazing views out across the bay. Would certainly recommend a stay here!

Views and location are spectacular
4/5

Our family of 5 stayed at Trevara for one week (parents + 15, 14 and 9 year old). Overall we thoroughly enjoyed the space and the ability for our family to spread out though the low ceilings thru-out the house were extremely challenging for 2 members of our party (who are 6'3' and 6'4" in height respectively). The game room was a welcome attraction for our 2 youngest while us parents lived on the balcony off the Master Bedroom! Our arrival was a little bumpy (literally) as we damaged our rental car trying to get down the lane (we did have a 3 row vehicle, Volvo XC90) so once we unloaded we opted to use the long stay car park in town for the rest of our stay (it took us 12 minutes to walk there). The house was clean upon our arrival and well stocked (towels, toilet paper, paper towels; dishwasher tabs; tea towels) and the kitchen had everything we needed. We did find the range top difficult to use as it seemed to turn on and off -- making it hard to maintain a constant temperature while cooking. The larger sized fridge and dishwasher were very helpful as was the washing machine in the shed! The large lounge was a great surprise with tons of seating, allowing us to relax together in the evenings. But by far the best part of this property was the view of St. Michael's Mount as well as the ocean from the balcony off the Master. We enjoyed coffee in the morning there and drinks in the afternoon/evening all while admiring the spectacular views from this perfectly positioned spot. We were even lucky enough to see the castle lit up one night! We also loved being in a town where we could walk to things - previous locations we have stayed have been more remote and required a car to do anything - so it was a nice change for our family.

Chris, 17 Jul 2024

Hi Chris, Thank you for your review. We’re delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay at Trevara. It’s wonderful that the space allowed everyone to spread out and that the game room was a hit with your younger ones. The balcony off the Master Bedroom sounds like a perfect spot for relaxation with those stunning views of St. Michael’s Mount. We apologise for the inconvenience caused by the low ceilings and the lane access. Your feedback about the range top is valuable, and we’ll look into it to ensure a better experience for future guests. We’re glad the house was well equipped and that the large lounge provided a comfortable space for your family to unwind together. Thank you for choosing Luxury Coastal, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable stay! Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal team

A Cornish Escape
4.8/5

A surprisingly large property in a beautiful location with uninterrupted views of Mounts Bay. A clean and comfortable traditional cottage that is tucked away but very close to local amenities. A gem. Just make sure your car fits down the short narrow lane to the parking spot.

Super February half term break!
4/5

A lovely spacious and comfortable cottage with fabulous views across the water to St Michael's Mount. Positives - comfortable beds and sofas, hot and powerful showers, spectacular views and plenty of space for our family of five in this quirky Cornish bolthole. It's a beautifully quiet and relaxing place to be. Not so positives - a couple of (fairly minor) points - Cottage felt cold on arrival which wasn't particularly welcoming. The boiler was rapidly effective but noisy and somewhat smelly when running. Some areas of the house were not 100% clean. My son sat next to the radiator in the dining room and a huge, thick cobweb dropped down from the bottom of it! (Understandably large, old cottages are hard to keep pristine) Things to be aware of - a VERY narrow lane between cottages to access the parking space. We negotiated it in our Kuga on arrival but then preferred to park elsewhere in the village and walk to our car. Also, as this is an old property, the doorframes etc are quite low and bumped heads are possible for the taller guests! Noise travels between the ground floor and bedrooms too so don't expect a peaceful afternoon siesta if you are with a lively family! Overall, a lovely place, ideally situated to explore this part of Cornwall. We would happily return.

Guest, 27 Feb 2023

Hi Nicci, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your recent stay at Trevara. We are so pleased to hear it was a super stay and beautifully quiet and relaxing. We have passed these comments onto the owner and do apologise for the missed radiator in the dining room! We do hope to welcome you back again in the future. Best Wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

A home from home with a view that's breathtaking
4.8/5

Felt at home the minute we walked in and the views were simply breathtaking. Slept with the curtains open so we could see the sea/St Michael's Mount under the moonlight and sunrise was the best start to any day. Cozy fire lot's of room for everyone to find their own space if needed and then the location is just fabulous, Marazion is lovely, the beach is 2 minutes away and so is everything else from Mousehole, St. Ives and The Minack Theatre We absolutely loved it

Mike, 31 Jan 2023

Hi Mike, Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased to hear that you made Trevara your home away from home for the week. It's great you were able to make the most of your time exploring Marazion and the nearby areas. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team
