The open plan living room with luxury fitted kitchen is the centre of the house and revolves around the stunning wall of glass looking directly at the iconic St Michael's Mount. It is within 4 minutes direct access to the Blue Flag beach, dunes, & amenities. Activities include fishing, swimming, sailing, surfing and kite-surfing, cycling, walking or rambling and bird watching at Marazion Marsh RSPB Reserve , visits to Historic houses and enchanting gardens. It is a perfect escape for a honeymoon, romantic long weekends, retirement and OAP short breaks. There is something for everyone. The inviting waves rhythmically land onto the expansive, soft sand beach, in a moon shaped World Heritage bay, with dramatic cliffs and heather and the majestic and magical castle standing proud. What better way to soothe away the stresses and strains of everyday life, stirring contrasts of both, zen and peace into body, souls, mind and spirits.

House Rules
Pet-friendlyNot suitable for kidsNo smoking
We welcome small dogs, ONLY BY PRIOR ARRANGEMENT, however there is a small weekly charge of £6 per night per canine guest.
We believe no family member should be left out of a holiday, especially our canine family members. All of our properties accept up to two canine guests, under 15kg, all that we ask is that pets are required to be well behaved and should be kept off all furniture. They cannot be left in your holiday home unattended at any time.
Very comfortable and well equipped cottage, with amazing views. That is all surpassed by the owner Sue, whose attention to detail, level of communication and many extras make this an outstanding place to stay.

Serenity across the bay
I had the most amazing time in Cockleshell Cottage. Sue greeted me and gave me the rundown and there was a delicous three course meal waiting for me. It was the perfect welcome after a long drive. The Cottage has the most stunning view of St Michael's Mount and has everything you could ask for inside. The views are from both levels and you can lie in your Four poster bed and look out at the activity in the bay. Shops are a minute's walk and access to the beach and roads are easy to navigate. It was the most special week I think I've ever had anywhere. It was better than I imagined and I had huge expectations. I hope to be back one day but if not there will always be a piece of my heart at Cockleshell Cottage.

What a find!
The owners had thought of everything to make our stay at Cockleshell Cottage as cosy and comfortable as could be. There was a delicious meal prepared for us on arrival, which made us feel so welcome. The cottage was warm, very clean, with a modern bath/shower room, a comfortable bed and superbly equipped.
The view is truly mesmerising - We loved watching the tide come and go over the causeway to St Michaels Mount. A few minutes walk takes you onto the beach and all the wonderful places to visit in West Cornwall are an easy drive away.
For us? Perfection. Already booked for next year, which says it all.
Thank you Sue & Simon for our wonderful stay.

Hidden gem
Cockleshell Cottage is an absolute gem. The owners have thought of everything and more! The views are first class and local amenities have as much or as little as you’d like! Highly recommend for those who love some affordable luxury by the sea.

Our happy place
This was our first visit to Cockleshell Cottage and it did not disappoint. The view is amazing and we love the ever changing scenery as well as watching the causeway walkers and waders and the boats going back and forwards to the island. The quirky upside down property has everything that you could wish for, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, wine fridge and microwave. The four poster was both comfortable and cosy, a jacuzzi bath and rainfall shower were in the large bathroom. The little extras like dressing gowns and slippers made it feel like home from home. The arrival goodies left by the owners were a lovely surprise and enjoyed by us both. Marazion is our happy place and I am sure we will be back visiting again next year.

Perfect view
Gorgeous view, lovely accommodation, well equipped. The neighbours made us feel welcome. Sue provided an evening meal the day we arrived which was delicious. Nice small touches everywhere. Accessible for all of west Cornwall and the Lizard peninsula. We loved everything about it.

Cockleshell Cottage is unbeatable
Cockleshell Cottage is ideally located on the water’s edge, with excellent views of the Mount across the water from either the balcony or the lounge. The Cottage has everything in it that you could wish for to make your holiday memorable. Sue is the perfect hostess, giving helpful information about restaurants and Taxi companies. Sue even gave us a goodie bag to send us on our way. We had such a good time we have booked for 2023 and 2024. Cockleshell Cottage really is the Crème de la Crème

Most magical view in Cornwall with the best hospitality
Shh don't tell anyone, we think we found the best place to stay in the whole of Cornwall. Uninterrupted ocean views through huge floor to ceiling windows, privacy to unwind, relax and recuperate, spotlessly clean, well equipped and very spacious for two and our four legged friend. A lovely bathroom with a great shower and spa bath with super fluffy towels, a super comfy bed with hotel quality sheets and pillows. As others have written a meal is waiting for you in the fridge to pop in the oven after a long journey, which was especially welcome and unheard of with self catering. It was great to be able to unload at the end of the lane a very short walk from the property and to be able to park nearby. Thank you Sue for being an amazingly kind, generous and thoughtful host. We loved our travel pasties for our journey home, so lovely of you. We can't wait to return.
