Designed by award winning architect Alex Michaelis and settling on a huge private plot with nothing but its own garden separating it from a sweeping expanse of sand and ocean, Little Cottage offers a light-flooded and spacious interior, where wide views of both sea and sky are permanently on display. This is a home you can truly unwind in. Open plan living with sink-in sofas and a wood burner means you’ll be comfy no matter the weather, while the kitchen/diner which opens to the front terrace through vast sliding doors creates the quintessential indoor / outdoor lifestyle of a true beachside retreat. There are four fabulous en-suite bedrooms and a separate self-contained bolthole for those who’d like even more privacy, providing ample space for large family groups. Outside is just as impressive, with an uninterrupted vantage point over Hendra beach. And when you’re not soaking away in the hot tub or playing table tennis with the kids, you can stroll to the bottom of the garden and be on the sand in under a minute. Located in Cornwall’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Little Cottage is exceptionally well placed to enjoy all that the south coast has to offer. St Michael's Mount with its tidal causeway and subtropical gardens is a delight for both young and old in Marazion, and if you fancy treating yourselves to an excellent meal you can take your pick from a host of terrific restaurants in both the harbour towns of Porthleven and St Ives. Of course, you’d be forgiven for preferring to stay put too as the south west coast path, beach and waves are just 40 metres from your doorstep so you amble, sunbathe, explore, swim and surf to your heart’s content. Little Cottage welcomes two dogs.

This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 5 Jan 2024 #### Fab Xmas at this house The house has the perfect view practically on the beach. Brilliant for families as lots for kids to do inc trampoline, table tennis, slide and indoor footy table. Hot tub was a bonus for us all. Beds were very clean and comfy great to be able to do our washing and drying. Great architecture only thing we all said we would change is to lower the kitchen island which seemed way too high we are mostly 5 foot 2 and 5’5 but even my daughters partner at 5’11 found it high. Great baths but once sat in you can’t see the gorgeous sea view only the bottom of the window sill if they were raised they’d be perfect. Lovely walks and cafe nearby owners did a great Job thinking of everything you’d need. Lovely toiletries left and we all had a wonderful Xmas in this stunning house I really liked the books about the history of the house and area lovely special touch as were the mince pies cream and prosecco ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Seascape](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penzance-Hotels-Seascape.h30994824.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Success Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penzance-Hotels-Old-Success-Inn.h12340992.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [The Saddle and Stable Rooms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penzance-Hotels-The-Saddle-And-Stable-Rooms.h35180216.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [The Land's End Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penzance-Hotels-The-Lands-End-Hotel.h12432627.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Trendrennen Farm B&B](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penzance-Hotels-Trendrennen-Farm-Bed-And-Breakfast.h35251746.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [NEW LISTING Stunning new Cornish house with sea views, few minutes walk to beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penzance-Hotels-NEW-LISTING-Stunning-New-Cornish-House-With-Sea-Views.h35366266.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA Penzance - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penzance-Hotels-YHA-Penzance-Hostel.h11535946.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kings Arms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penzance-Hotels-Kings-Arms-Inn.h23548574.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [Light filled home from home with spectacular panoramic sea views of Mount's Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penzance-Hotels-Detached-Seaside-House-With-Spectacular-Panoramic-Sea-Views.h33577841.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information)
