St Marys

St Marys is a three-bedroom cottage in Germoe near Praa Sands sleeping 6 across 2 bathrooms. The property is 5-star rated with 9 guest reviews - a strong result for a less well-known village base. The enclosed garden offers outdoor space, and the layout suits groups who want to spread across the ground and first floors.

Wi-Fi, parking, a dishwasher, and a washing machine are all included. No hot tub, BBQ, or wood burner. Pets are not accepted at this property. The Germoe postcode (TR20 9AA) is about 5 miles east of Penzance and 2 miles inland from the coast, in a rural hamlet with no through-road traffic.

Praa Sands beach is 1km to the south - a long stretch of sand facing south-west, about 1.5 miles of it accessible at low tide, exposed enough for body-boarding but sheltered by the headland at Prussia Cove. Prussia Cove itself is 2.4km, and Porthcew/Rinsey Cove 2.6km - both are rocky and atmospheric, good for coast path walking. Porthleven with its harbour restaurants and independent shops is about 6km east.

This is a good fit for two or three couples or a family wanting a quiet village base within easy reach of several beach types, from the long sandy stretch of Praa Sands to the rockier Prussia Cove. Not well suited for guests who need accessible ground-floor facilities or dog-friendly accommodation. Friday changeover.
