Little Wren Cottage

Little Wren Cottage sits at Plain-an-Gwarry in St Hilary parish, near Marazion and its beach facing St Michael's Mount. The cottage is fully single-storey with one bedroom sleeping 2, one bathroom, a wood burner in the sitting room, a front garden that is not enclosed, and an enclosed rear garden with a BBQ area. Parking is included on site.

Marazion Beach is 1.2 miles from the door - a long sand and shingle stretch along Mount's Bay where St Michael's Mount is accessible on foot at low tide via the causeway. The tidal crossing is one of the few in Cornwall where you can walk to a historic island without a boat. Perranuthnoe Beach, a quieter cove popular with surfers, is 1.4 miles further along the coast path.

Marazion has a mix of cafes, pubs and a handful of galleries. Penzance is 3.1 miles east, with its rail terminus, covered market, and ferry link to the Isles of Scilly. The South West Coast Path runs directly through Marazion, giving access to both headlands and cliff-top walking in either direction without driving.

Best for couples wanting a quiet base close to the coast with indoor comfort on cooler evenings. Not great for guests bringing a dog, as pets are not accepted. The owner's listing notes steps up to the garden, and guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking. Wi-Fi, dishwasher, and washing machine are included. Saturday changeover.
