The Experience
This snug space perched above the sea overlooking St Michael’s Mount will delight you whatever the weather. Bag the sofa and watch the waves crash and the skies go dark in winter; eat breakfast or sip sundowners on the balcony in summer. Although the house is an extension to an adjoining property, it feels nicely private with its own access and long views out to sea.
The sociable kitchen is a joy to work in and you can pick up a haul of fresh fish from Quayside Fish in nearby Porthleven or Newlyn. There are plenty of places to eat out – for pub grub try The Fire Engine or The Godolphin – both are within walking distance.
Blustery walks start on the coastal path to Perranuthnoe beach or Praa Sands. Mooch around the art galleries, boutique shops and cosy pubs in town. The Minack Theatre and St Ives are 30 minutes by car in opposite directions.

I arrived for a solo break, driving rain and wind obstructing the view, but a warm and cosy welcome! The next morning...the wonderful view, almost enticing one to just remain indoors. Very comfortable place, equipped with all one would need and a terrific location, almost on the coast path, 5 mins to the centre of Marazion. Perfect to be creative, re charge the batteries and leave refreshed. Thank you!

This was our second holiday at Bosworgy Bay and we doubled our length of stay. Hopefully that says it all. Fabulous in all weathers with an ever changing panoramic view. Very high standard of accommodation and warm, welcoming hosts. Plenty to do in West Cornwall, coastal path a short walk away...if you can pull yourself away from the wonderful view that is.

We had an amazing stay here, the location was just fabulous. We had intended to eat out some evenings but, with the thoughtful design of the house giving such wonderful views, after spending our days walking the Cornish coastlines, we didn’t want to spend our evenings anywhere else! Thought had also gone into ensuring plentiful supplies of cleaning and hot drink provisions and with the lovely touch of fresh flowers and a nice cold bottle in the fridge everything was just perfect! We would recommend a stay here without hesitation!

We really enjoyed our stay in this stylish, quality apartment in January. The stunning view from the living room (with huge floor to ceiling glass doors making the most of the panoramic view) was magnificent. We sat on the sofa, coffee in hand, watching the sun slowly rise (not early either - a benefit of a winter break) - what a beautiful experience. The whole place is modern, very clean, spacious and well equipped with underfloor heating throughout. The enormous bed was soooo comfortable and luxurious. The bathroom is a good size with a fabulous modern large shower. We will be back!

This place is a true gem - if we say that everything lived up to and even developed upon the truly spectacular view, you’ll understand that it is something quite special. The warmest welcome imaginable from Alessandra, Francesca, and Rikki, and cosiness incarnate in the chalet itself, with convenient parking, good wifi, a lovely bathroom and excellent underfloor heating...as we said, a true gem. Don’t tell anyone, or they’ll all be wanting to come down and stay and we won’t get in again!

Bosworgy Bay is beautiful in every way and when you draw back the curtains you have the most wonderful view from of the coast line and of course St Michael's Mount. It's all too good to miss.

This place was so incredible. The view is amazing. We were so warmly welcomed by the host. Lovely accommodation with everything you need. Stores, restaurants and pubs are in the vicinity. Me and my gf spent a great week here and we will definitely stay in the same place once we will visit Cornwall again.

It was just a delightful place to stay. I would give it 5 stars for its location overlooking St Michaels Mount, its complete facilities, and its sheer quality. Nothing was missing, everything worked perfectly. Great comfort. The owner was so friendly and helpful too. Marazion is a great place for shopping (3 supermarkets nearby, a fantastic seafood shop in the local shopping centre) and access to some of the most stunning countryside. 5 nights was just not enough to see everything we wanted to do, so we will be back.

Bosworgy Bay was the perfect self-catering haven. The views were beautiful and the whole place has been custom designed to make enhance your experience. The location is very convenient, a ten minute walk into the centre of Marazion with it's lovely restaurants, cafés and shops and a short drive to St Erth train station where you can hop on a train to St Ives for the day. Alessandra was an amazing host and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. The only teeny, tiny issue was the hot water - not on demand which takes a bit of getting used to! We can't wait to return.

My wife and I stayed at Bosworgy Bay for 3 nights at the end of March 2019. We were down in Cornwall for a wedding. But the wedding turned out to be incidental to our stay!! We loved Bosworgy Bay so much we didn't really want to leave it! We were blessed with fine weather during our stay which made it particularly enjoyable. Looking out at St. Michael's Mount is every bit as magical as the pictures show, only more. It felt a bit like watching Ayers Rock, as it changes depending on the time of day as light fallson it from a different angle. Really, truly spectacular.

We came to Bosworgy Bay all of 2 miles from where we live in Penzance - and it's another world! A magnificent view of St Michael Mount and the ever-changing mood of sea and sky. We really enjoyed the apartment too - it's light, bright and peaceful, well laid out with a great sense of space. You can spend a couple of days here just relaxing and not need to drive anywhere… Booking was straightforward and communication with Alessandra was a pleasure. Thank you so much!

Despite the wet and windy weather during our weekend stay this did not detract from the beautiful location and property. Alessandra was there to meet us on arrival and was very friendly, the cream tea was a lovely touch and Bosworgy was a great property. The house was super cosy and homey which is exactly what you want on a cold, wet day and i could never tire of the view of the mount. The location was excellent – a great hub to explore from

Bosworgy is the perfect location to soak up the sights, scents & sounds of this beautiful part of Cornwall. Wake up to the stunning, ever-changing view of St Michael's Mt. 10min stroll into Marazion for gorgeous cafés/bars/restaurants, or to Perranuthnoe and the wonderful Peppercorn café. There are glorious walks along the Coastal Path to Porthleven from the doorstep. You are surrounded by amazing, abundant wildlife, Buzzards, kestrels, peregrines, sanderlings & turnstones, and a cove full of seals at Godrevy. The accommodation is beautiful, v comfortable and has all you need. We'll be back!

As I walked in I was blown away by the light streaming in through the giant sliding doors, when the owner opened them to their full extent (they slide back into the wall) it felt like I was part of the incredible panorama in front of me. The building is handcrafted by the owners and the attention to detail and craftsmanship is evident everywhere. I could spend hours sitting on the sofa watching the scene in front of me whatever the weather, I almost think this space would be most impressive in a storm.

Location
The neighbourhood
Marazion throngs with tourists in the summer but it’s pretty magical year round. Its beach is safe and sandy, St Michaels Mount is worth a visit (you can walk over at low tide) and there are heaps of independent shops to browse. Marazion Marsh Nature Reserve on the outskirts of town is home to a variety of wetland birds – bitterns and warblers, among others, migrate here every year.
Local points of interest from Alessandra Ausenda
- Follow the seafront and take a peek or a dip in Jubilee Pool in Penzance. Check out Newlyn’s fish market or see what’s showing at the Film House then head to Mousehole and walk along the picturesque coast path to Lamorna
- Stroll down to Marazion and visit the numerous galleries, pubs, cafes and shops. Reach St Michael's Mount on foot along the causeway or by ferry. Walk to the marshes and hike 12.5 miles across the Penwith peninsula along stunning St Michael's Way.
- Admire Mounts Bay from a different angle, get inspired and savour delicious homemade food served at Tremenheere Kitchen and visit the gallery, don’t forget to check for any interesting events and art installations at Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens
- For a mystic moment, tie a ribbon at Madron wishing well and head to see the ancient monument of Lanyon Quoit with Ding Dong mine on the moorland, walk to Men-an-Tol for a Bronze age experience and follow the road to meet Morvah along the heritage coast.
- Discover the coast path from St Ives to Penzance. Enjoy the Cornish Mining heritage, visit St Just & Geevor tin mine in Pendeen with its fabulous museum in the most atmospheric rugged landscape. This is where our great-grandfather was managing director!

Introducing
Alessandra Ausenda
The owners live about a mile away, are there to meet you and will be on hand if you need anything. They are both artists and partner Sean did all the work from design and building to carpentry, electrics and plumbing. The clever design means the high ceilings and huge windows let in the light while the open-plan arrangement makes it feel spacious. Ask about guided art tours – they may offer them in the future.
We spent five nights at Bosworgy over Christmas and, despite the inclement weather, had a wonderful time. Beautiful location, lovely house, and Alessandra was a welcoming and friendly host. Definitely worth a second visit. And the Godolphin Arms, in nearby Marazion, served up an excellent evening meal.
