The Experience

You’ll feel glad to arrive at this pretty Victorian house just steps away from the causeway, harbour and beaches. It’s not just the homemade scones, the bright interiors and nice surprises, but the generosity of spirit which is palpable. Bedrooms (with sea views over the rooftops) have crisp white linen and private spaces for sitting and reading or gazing out of the sash windows.

Breakfasts are superb: homemade granola, muesli and marmalade, local or home-baked bread, bacon and sausages from the butcher in St Just and eggs from the chap next door. If you’re staying in Upper Deck (like floating in your own ocean liner) it’s all brought up to you and Lower Deck guests are treated in the lovely open-plan dining room.

Walk the causeway or ferry over to the island, spend glorious days on the beaches (towels provided) or join coast and cycle paths from the door.

Reviews

How lovely to spend a few days down here in such a friendly B&B where absolutely everything is geared to making sure you have a good time. There's lots to do round and about, so walk your socks off, explore this special part of Cornwall and come home to good cheer and comfort.
Inspected Nicola Sawday's Inspector

Sophy, London

I am walking the South West Coast Path with a friend, three or four days at a time whenever we can fit it in. This was such a warm, welcoming, lovely place to return to after a long days walking. Alison and Paul were wonderful hosts, providing delicious breakfasts and a packed lunch to die for with sumptuous homemade cakes and hot soup. We were also arriving back soaked to the skin and covered in mud after torrential rain each day and Alison and Paul couldn't have been more helpful in ensuring that everything was dry for the next day. A really special place with lots of lovely added touches.


Clare, Bristol

Wonderful place! Amazing, helpful and friendly hosts who made us so welcome. Delicious breakfasts and great advice for where to visit (very excited by the shipwreck!). This is a great place to stay, highly recommend.


Aisling, London

"We are leaving after a wonderful few days in Cornwall, and a fabulous stay at the Upper Deck. Alison’s hospitality, recommendations and warmth all contributed to making our minibreak relaxing and restorative. The Upper Deck is a sanctuary to return to after days spent exploring the amazing coastline and countryside all around. Alison’s imaginative creative breakfasts set us up for the day every morning, and the suite itself is a perfect place in which to unwind."


Judith, Taunton

We had a lovely time in the Lower Deck. Everything was of a very high quality, and our Hosts, Alison, Paul and Betty were kind, attentive and entertaining. They gave us excellent advice and Paul went more than the extra mile when he came out to rescue us, marooned in Penzance with flat tyre, no spare, no jack, having set off for home 2 hours earlier. What a hero!


Location

The neighbourhood

Marazion has good pubs, cafes and restaurants - try The Godolphin overlooking the lovely golden sand beach where there is safe bathing, paddle boarding and sailing. Go fishing in the harbour or join cycle route No3. RSPB Marazion Marsh is nearby and you can take the train from St Erth to St Ives for the Tate and Hepworth's studio and garden. The world famous Minack Theatre is a 30-minute drive.

Local points of interest from Paul & Alison Elliott

  • No visit to Marazion would be complete without venturing across the tidal causeway to explore the magnificent island fortress, harbour and sub tropical gardens of St Michaels Mount. The unforgettable view from the castle battlements are stunning.
  • For a spot of culture why not take a picnic and book to see a performance at the amazing outdoor Minack Theatre on the cliffs high above the sea and beach at Porthcurno. We can lend blankets to keep you warm for evening shows.
  • The mild climate in Cornwall makes for some incredible gardens to enjoy. Walk to Tremenheere, or take a short drive to Trengwainton near Penzance. The incredible Trebah garden and Glendurgan are a 35 minute drive away beside the Helford River.
  • Explore the SW Coast path from our doorstep. Walk to Perranuthnoe or the pirate lair of Prussia Cove. For a proper 10 mile hike continue to Porthleven, enjoy a meal and catch the bus back. Expect amazing coastal scenery, perhaps seals and lots of fresh air
  • The marine wildlife in Mounts Bay is extraordinary. Take a boat trip from Penzance and expect to see seals and dolphins, perhaps a whale or basking shark. if you go mackerel fishing bring home your catch and we''ll cook it for your breakfast.
  • Marazion's beautiful beaches offer SUP and kayak hire and instruction, as well as safe bathing or rock pooling. You can even gallop along the beach and go swimming in the sea on horseback. We supply a blanket and beach towels if you simply want to relax.

Introducing

Paul & Alison Elliott

Paul and Alison moved to Cornwall in 2011, having spent most of their working lives in Lincolnshire and latterly the Falkland Islands where Paul was Chief Police Officer, but they always dreamed of running their own seaside B&B. In the summer months they rent out the whole house to guests.
