This spacious Cornish seaside cottage looks out over the amazing island of St Michael's Mount. The home will sweep you and your family away with its location perched overlooking the coast, with a living space that opens out directly onto the balcony and expansive views of the ocean. Located in Marazion, Cornwall's oldest town, there are plenty of discoveries to be made. The beaches and rock pools unveiled at low tide are great for the young ones on summer or winter days, while coastal walking options are endless and range from leisurely strolls to challenging half-day hikes. At home, warm your feet by the fire in the cosy living room, enjoy alfresco dining in the enclosed garden and host games sessions well into the night before sleeping soundly in the tranquil bedrooms. If you get the urge to explore further afield, you won't have to travel far before reaching stunning St Ives. Here, you'll join surfers, creatives and food-lovers in this bohemian enclave along Cornwall's rugged north coast that's well worth a visit.
