Very clean and comfortable with everything that you could need for a holiday and with a sofa now added to the conservatory it was great. Beautiful views (apart from the day we had Cornish Mizzle!) especially from the Juliet balcony in the bedroom. Very comfortable bed. Central for visiting that very southern area of Cornwall, which we love. We had some wonderful entertainment one evening with many helicopters circling, landing and taking off again on St Michaels Mount in preparation for the G7 summit just around in Carbis Bay. With no garden it’s not ideal for a young dog because we had to take her out very early and very late on a lead but when we originally booked for 2020 we had an older dog. At that time, April 2020 and in lockdown, no rebates were being given by Sykes for cancelling for a June holiday so I had to forward my booking to this year. Not complaining about the dog as that was up to us but I am just recommending that it’s not ideal for a young dog who wants to go out a lot. We did manage to find some fields a short walk away. The little patio underneath is really nice reached by wooden steps from conservatory but again not ideal for a young energetic dog or anyone nervous of steps. Marazion is a lovely old village and with Penzance just a mile or two along the road and with all the shops and supermarkets that you could need. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and certainly miss the view now that we are back. We would definitely return one day.

“The only problem we encountered was the lack of operating instructions for the cooker and hob.”

if you had used a Bosch unit before you would be okay but it is hardly intuitive i had to get on too get operating instructions so a simple set of instructions would be useful. other than that it is a really good cottage walking through the door is like putting on a comfy jumper you feel at home right away.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments on Greeb Rocks Cottage. We are sorry to hear that you were unable to locate the instructions for the cooker and the hob, they are kept in the Cottage handbook. We are glad that you felt at home during your stay. Hideaways. Owner relations

“The panoramic view encompassing St Michael’s Mount from the sunroom and from the little balcony in the bedroom is amazing, and the fully enclosed sunny patio area, which, despite being small, is very dog friendly, even for an enthusiastic boxer.”

There’s also a covered seating area if the sun is too bright. There are lovely circular walks from the cottage through the village and onto the dog friendly beach. The fish and chips, especially the fish, from the local Marazion ‘Tudor Chippy’ was consistently excellent.

“Really lovely cottage with the most fantastic view.”

Convenient location for the town and beaches.

“The cottage was lovely and comfortable, a real home from home.”

The flowers and cream team on arrival were very welcome after a long drive. Like previous guests we fell in love with the sun terrace with great views of St Michael's Mount. The beach is in walking distance. Dinner at The Godolphin Arms was lovely. We were sorry that we did not have access to the garden as we had taken our 2 dogs and the patio was not really suitable for them. Had I known that we didn't have access, I wouldn't have booked this property, but having said that we had a great time and would go again but not with our dogs.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments. We apologise that you thought you had use of the garden. We would love to welcome you back in the future. Owner relations

“Absolutely Perfect!”

What an incredibly amazing little hideaway. From the moment of arrival we found ourselves relaxing into the quieter life in this haven. The cottage was exceptionally clean and everything was thought of, including the delicious cream tea welcome. We’ve had an amazing honeymoon down in Marazion and will definitely be returning to this stunning cottage.

“Booked Greeb Rocks as a late booking over New Year 2016/17 for myself, my partner and our small dog.”

We couldn't have been happier, from the moment we arrived in Marazion driving along the coast and past the awe inspiring St Michael's Mount, to the moment we opened the cottage door into a warm welcoming kitchen with exceptional cider and homemade mince pies waiting on the table and the decorated Xmas tree in the snug lounge. The cottage was perfectly clean and comfortable and the view out on to the mount is just breathtaking. We didn't have the time to enjoy the garden but it looks wonderful as it leads down to the sea with nothing between the cottage and it. Whilst in Marazion we are at Ben's Cornish Kitchen which is as good as everyone told us it would be. (We'd booked in advance which is a must if you hope to find a table) We found Marazion to be a great base to discover the deep south west but a limited as a destination itself unless you are planning to walk the coastal path or need seclusion. Greeb Rocks Cottage though is perfect, warm cost and yards from the beach. We can't wait to return.

“The booking of Greeb Rocks Cottage was exceptional through Hideaways, who were extremely helpful in providing me with extra photos of the stairs due to my mobility problem.”

The cottage was so comfortable and cozy, the sun room and terrace with the amazing views of the sea and St Michael's Mount being the highlights. A perfect spot to watch the many birds in the garden and have a glass of wine in the evening. The cottage was spotlessly clean, with everything you would possibly need in the kitchen to cook a meal. A lovely cream tea and cider were provided on our arrival too, which was much appreciated. We found Marazion itself a really lovely place for a quiet holiday, with plenty of places to eat within walking distance. The Marazion marshes are worth a visit for bird watchers too.There is a regular bus service to Penzance and Nippy taxis, so we were able to get about without a car.

The property

What a view!

Greeb Rocks Cottage is a true gem of a Cornish cottage.

Tucked away down a quiet no-through lane, a few minutes walk from the heart of Marazion and a short stroll to the beach, this cute cottage is a great spot to enjoy a true "Ocean View"!

From an elevated glass room off the Living Room , you will enjoy a stunning vista of St Michael's Mount, Mounts Bay and Penzance in the distance, and (to be honest!) do little else as it is that simply jaw dropping!

The cottage is very typical of the region, atmospheric and welcoming with many period features plus modern touches like a cosy wood burning stove for cooler evenings.

Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom, with the master enjoying a superb view from the bed!

Relax and admire the awe-inspiring views of sea and sky, whatever the weather, from the comfort of the sun room or hole up in the snug sitting room with its welcoming wood burning stove and original stone walls after a bracing walk along the beach.

On a summer's evening, you'll find the balcony attached to the main bedroom is the perfect spot for an evening drink as the sun sets.
