“Great location and outstanding view.”

Really clean Great base for exploring Godolphin Arms really good food Really enjoyable break Cottage delightful

- Mr Daniels, July 2019
“The view is breath taking when you look over to St Michael's mount , photos need changing on lounge as there are different settees on website!”

only down side is parking is a bit tight for a larger car especially having to have the wheelie bin in front of garage

- Mrs Williams, May 2019
“Beautiful town, close to what we wanted to see, enjoyed the conservatory.”

Well equipped. Spacious, character cottage. We could feel the age of the place. Stairs would be difficult for a tall person, or a less agile person. Would be a problem parking a large car.

- Ms Devlin, May 2019
“Cottage was clean, homely and comfortable.”

There was a slight problem with the conservatory but everyone at the Cornish cottage care were helpful and professional in trying to sort the issue.

- Mr Haynes, April 2019
“This is our 3rd year at Greeb Rocks cottage & we absolutely love it.”

The cottage is so cosy & everything is there that you could possibly need. We will be visiting it again in the years to come. The only drawback is there is no recycling facilities at the cottage.

- Mrs Bull, February 2019
“Only booked 6 nights instead of 7, annoyingly told a £30 admin charge would be incurred to change booking to include another night (Thurs 24th).”

Would have been better to honour it, but then everybody charges for everything nowadays, so that was my very first impression of Hideaways - could potentially be more accommodating for their valued customer, especially if they are to return. First impressions of cottage are it's beautiful and cosy, a nice touch with clotted cream scones and flowers. Bought anthracite for fire as none provided, left some for next holidaymaker to use. Under beds in main bedroom not cleaned very thoroughly (hairballs and dust). Perhaps it would a good idea to provide something to read, ideas of what to do, vouchers, booklets about Cornwall, decent map/s, eating places etc. A 'Please Mind Your Head' notice would be a good idea on the upstairs balcony and French doors to the conservatory. Underfloor heating in kitchen awesome, the kitchen door lets in quite a draft when it's windy outside - perhaps a heavy curtain across might alleviate this. Views awesome. TV good with Sky, which can drop off sometimes (together with telephone signals which are notoriously bad in Cornwall). Sofas are not the most comfortable for 4 people to relax on. The quaintness and charm of the cottage together with the décor and overall cleanliness and views of sea and St Michael's Mount are the things that I would recommend most, together with the log fire. It's a cosy and welcoming cottage with parking included and it is perfect for a short family break.

“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.

“Found the cottage difficult to find - poor signage arriving from the west side only visible coming from the east.”

Parking difficult when other vehicles parked there. Cottage could do with a good clean and freshen up. Kitchen sink broken around taps and it looks as though it has been like this for some time. All the cupboards in the kitchen full of crockery and pots and pans so the few items we took with us for breakfast we had to leave sitting on the table as nowhere to put them. Large cupboard under the stairs was full of stuff just thrown in and left. Settee in the lounge very uncomfortable and has had its best days some time ago. Little room upstairs for clothes as the chest of drawers in the bedroom was full of linen which only left two very small drawers. Had to lay our clothes on the bunk beds and after a couple of days they started to feel a little damp despite the heaters being on. Doors on the shower make access difficult and the seals on the door were shredded on the bottom. There was what looked like damp on a couple of the walls but not sure if it was or just needing a coat of paint. Would I stay here again most certainly not at the price charged nor would I recommend this to my friends.

Many thanks for your valuable feedback, we are very disappointed that one of our properties has seemingly let us down and not provided you with the experienced that we had hoped for. We have contacted the owner of this property regarding the points you have raised. Owner relations
“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.
