The Gazebo

The Gazebo is a detached family home in Marazion, positioned close enough to St Michael's Mount that you can walk the causeway at low tide or take a boat across when the water rises. The town itself has claim to being Cornwall's oldest, and it sits on a stretch of sandy beach with views that reach across the bay. Shops, pubs and restaurants are a short walk away.

Inside, the accommodation spreads across two floors: a ground-floor living room with an open fire, separate dining room, and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking (it includes both an electric cooker and an Aga), plus a conservatory. Three bedrooms upstairs—one double with an ensuite shower, two singles and one further single—share a family bathroom with a bath. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are included. There's private parking for one car on site, and an enclosed garden with seating.

The property sleeps five and is yours alone for the duration of your stay. It's not suitable for smoking. Marazion works as a base for exploring the wider coast, or as a destination in its own right, particularly around December when the town fills with seasonal decorations.
