Hoopers Lodge, Croft Hooper

Two-bedroom apartment in the rural hamlet of Crowlas, near Penzance, sleeping four with one bathroom. From GBP339 per night via Luxury Coastal. The property is part of a small cluster of farm conversions and has a fully enclosed courtyard garden with a decked patio and private hot tub. Rated 3.9 from 10 reviews - a smaller review pool than most comparable properties, though recent ratings trend positive.

The apartment has wifi, parking for 2 vehicles, dishwasher, and washing machine included. The enclosed courtyard means dogs can be left safely while guests are out exploring. The layout suits two couples or a small family with younger children. No pool or shared facilities beyond the courtyard.

Marazion Beach is 1.7 miles away - a wide, south-facing sandy bay directly opposite St Michael's Mount, the tidal island that sits about 500 metres offshore. Long Rock Beach is 1.9 miles. Penzance town centre is under 4 miles by road, with the Penlee House gallery, regular Great Western Railway trains to London Paddington, and the Scillonian ferry to the Isles of Scilly in season.

Best for couples or two families sharing who want a hot tub and countryside quiet within easy reach of west Cornwall. Less suited to guests who want to walk to the beach, or anyone watching costs given the GBP339/night starting rate is above-average for this area.
