Petra 2

Petra 2 is a one-bedroom apartment for two in central Marazion, one of the oldest chartered towns in Britain and 2 miles east of Penzance. The king-size bedroom and one bathroom suit a couple; dogs are not accepted. Sea views towards St Michael's Mount, the National Trust island reached by a causeway at low tide, are the defining feature.

Marazion Beach is 100 metres away, and the half-mile stretch of sand keeps the Mount as a constant backdrop. Long Rock Beach is 1.3 miles from the apartment and Perranuthnoe Beach is 1.6 miles. The Marazion guide covers the seafront's cafes, galleries and independent shops, all a short walk from the apartment.

Wi-Fi and a washing machine cover connectivity and laundry for a longer stay. Parking is not included, worth noting in a central village position, and there is no garden, dishwasher, hot tub, pool, barbecue or EV charging point. Step-free access is not confirmed, so guests who need it should check with HolidayCottages before booking.

The apartment holds a rating of 4.7 from ten reviews. The marshes just inland from the seafront are an important birdwatching site, particularly for wading birds during migration season.

**Best for:** a couple who prioritise sea views, Mount views and immediate beach access over space or parking. **Less good for:** guests needing confirmed parking, private outdoor space, step-free access or a dog-friendly stay.
