About this property

Detached comfortable granite cottage, 5 minute walk to the beach - Dogs Welcome

  • Little Rock is located in the village of Longrock which is set between Penzance and Marazion. A quiet village which belies the fact that it nestles right on Mounts Bay and has all the joys of the beach without the hustle and bustle (and parking problems) of Marazion. Little Rock, in its past life was a lobster pot barn and has been renovated to a high standard - with quality and comfort being our aim. Sat in the garden you can hear the waves lapping when the tide is in - that is how close you are to the beach! The small courtyard (totally enclosed) has quality table and chairs and planters.

    At the end of the drive are bus stops with excellent bus service for all local areas. St Ives buses are every half an hour and take 25 minutes. Porthleven is around 35 minutes by bus. The property is also situated next to the South West Coastal path, near a nature reserve.

    Longrock is on Mounts Bay, and the beach is a popular beach for horse riding and wind surfing. St Michaels Mount is in walking distance either along the beach or via the road.

    The property itself is very well equipped, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's is centrally heated and also has a log burner for the colder months. There is a separate laundry room with washer and tumble dryer.

    The living space is comfortable and cozy, with a vaulted ceiling with lots of natural light.

    The master bedroom is large, light and airy with ensuite bathroom.

    There is a 2nd bedroom with bunk beds.

    There is a single line train track next to the beach, access is 5 minutes walk via the level crossing

The cottage was about 30 minutes along the seawall into Penzance or a 20 minute walk in the other direction towards Marizon-St.Michael’s Mount-beautiful views. The cottage itself is very quaint and nicely furnished although the bedding could be upgraded as it was showing signs of wear. There is a train that runs several times a day between the cottage and the beach-be aware. Overall a very nice stay-thank-you.

Little Rock

Excellent property which is ideally placed as a base to visit SW Cornwall. The view of St Michaels Mount from the beach is beautiful and the walk to Marazion and or Penzance along the beach/path is well worthwhile. The property is very comfortable and warm and tastefully decorated making our 5 night stay perfect.

Enjoyed our 4 night stay, location was very good. Close to beach and local amenities. On the downside parking is extremely tight and difficult to access in and out Bed could be more comfy so soft, need bigger bath towels and bathroom very tight if you are a larger person due to door position we were ok but others might struggle

Lovely comfy cottage that whilst being in the village with all the conveniences within walking distance, still has the feeling of being remote. Lovely to hear the sound of the sea! It is close to the train track but that give us an issue as the trains could only be heard and not seen. Cleaning is done by an agency and after a busy summer season the property would benefit from a good deep clean. Generally clean though. Nice long beach walks close by, now all dog friendly. Tehidy not far for lovely off lead woodland walks.

Nice little house near beach

We enjoyed our stay as we were lucky to get the hottest week in Cornwall :-) So we were able to have all our meals outside in the "garden". (In winter as well as on rainy days, the house might be a bit dark inside?!) Parking was easier than expected (even possible with a SUV). We were never distrubed by any noise caused by the nearby Mexican Inn! We didn´t miss anything in the house and were very happy with beds already made when we arrived. :-) Don´t forget to bring colours as everybody seems to leave a painted stone. :-)

The most perfect Little Rock ♥️

We had the best long weekend at Little Rock. It’s in the most wonderful location. The property (even amongst Storm Ciaran) was so warm and inviting. I could’ve lived there! It was so nice to hear the waves at night and when it rained, it was like having the excitement of being camping, but the luxury of a solid roof 😄 The cottage has everything you’d need and we even had a welcome package (thank you!) that came in handy as forgot to buy loo roll 😄 Everything was lovely and clean and the Cornwall maps on the table were perfect to plan our first full day there. Jo and Andy were fantastic hosts, we had to delay our trip last minute due to illness, but they very kindly let us move our booking and it was worth every second of the wait to get there! The cottage is in a great location, with a bus stop right outside that takes you to Penzance or Marazion (and St Ives too) … I can’t wait to stay there again. We normally tend to stay in North Cornwall, but this makes the extra couple hours drive so worth it. You’ve got guests for life 😂 Thank you xx

A nice cottage, but not oerfect

This is a well equipped but quite small property, suitable for a couple with small children at the best, but ideal for us as a couple. Bed is very comfortable, as is the sofa and all furnishings are nice, although the hanging space in the wardrobe, is only for tall people 😂 oh and television could do with an upgrade. Overall we like the accommodation. The biggest flaw for us was the property is actually backing on to a pub garden, which had an outdoor screen with the football on it most evenings, we were there during the Euros, and also live music; as we are not football fans, or fans of heavy metal, it was a bit of a problem at times. Parking was also a bit of an issue, as you have to reverse into a narrow lane, that is off a busy road, this involves stopping the traffic at times, as it’s tricky reversing round the bins at the entrance to the lane, once navigated past the neighbours car, the parking space itself is ample. I now understand why previous reviews say they use public transport and leave the car at home!! I like the overall geographic position of this cottage, but I’m not sure I would stay here again, because of the parking and public house issues.

We had a good few days here. We knew the train passed close by but it wasn’t a noisy problem. The pub was a bit noisy mid evening but not by bed time.Location was good for St Michael’s Mount, Penzance, St Ives and the sculpture park nearby was great. The house itself was a little dusty on arrival and it doesn’t have much natural ventilation. But it was well fitted out and cosy for our stay. The outdoor space was nice too,
