Historic Charm: Jowders Cottage in Penzance offers a unique holiday home experience within a historic building.

Jowders Cottage occupies a historic building on Fore Street in Marazion, one of the oldest chartered towns in Britain. The cottage sits about 600 metres from St Michael's Mount - the National Trust castle-topped island connected to the town by a granite causeway at low tide - and Marazion Beach is a 6-minute walk away.

The property has a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine, a living room with wood burner and streaming services, and Wi-Fi throughout. The cottage is dog-friendly and accessible, with free on-site parking. Hosts Peter and Sally Linton have earned a 9.3 rating from 53 reviews, with staff scoring 9.9.

Outside, a garden and terrace provide sea views - the kind of outlook that made this stretch of coastline one of the most photographed in Cornwall. The property sits right in Marazion's main street, within walking distance of cafes, galleries, and independent shops.

Marazion is 2 miles east of Penzance, well placed for exploring west Cornwall. The Lizard, Land's End, and St Ives are all within easy driving distance. The marshes behind the town are an RSPB reserve - Marazion Marsh recorded breeding bitterns for the first time in 2023, the only site in Cornwall where they nest. The Mount's harbour boat service runs when the causeway is submerged, with a return fare of around 2 pounds 50 per adult. Land's End Airport is 20 km away.
