About this property
Nestled in the pretty rural coastal town of Marazion, with views across to the breath-taking fortress of St Michael's Mount, this wonderful house is a fabulous retreat for family and friends deserving of a memorable seaside holiday. Atlantic Reach has been lovingly converted into a superb, detached holiday homestay - where a warm welcome awaits you. Step through the front door into a light and airy hallway. Downstairs you are treated to an open-plan living room, which is most definitely the heart of the home; with a large, sumptuous sofa and comfy armchairs it is the perfect spot for evenings in with a book or cuddled up watching a film on the Smart TV. On sunny days, the living-room creates a great shady escape with sliding doors opening onto the sunny decked terrace. The kitchen-area is fully equipped with all mod-cons and is a great place to relax and cook up that feast there isn't time for at home. The four cheerful bedrooms are set over the two top floors and have each been individually styled and furnished to a plush standard. The main bedroom is located on the second floor and has a king-size bed complete with super-stylish en-suite shower room. This lovely room also boasts sea views! The three further bedrooms are all located on the first floor. The contemporary bathroom is also on the first floor and is just the place to unwind after a day at the beach or walking the coast. Outside, the decked patio-area provides the ideal spot for you to enjoy an alfresco meal, barbecue or perhaps just rest and enjoy some quality family time. Just off the road and very centrally located, Atlantic Reach is in a perfect position for you to soak up the hustle and bustle of the summer months or wallow in the laid-back atmosphere of the quieter winter ones. Although tucked away, (opposite the local playing fields so you may hear/see children playing and football training taking place), Atlantic Reach is only a short walk into Marazion, boasting its glorious sandy beach. Marazion is Cornwall's oldest market town, with an array of things to see and do. This charming seaside town is undoubtedly most renowned for being home to the fairy tale castle at St Michael's Mount. Become king and queen for the day, and if the tide is low stroll along the causeway where the legendary giant Cormoran once walked. If the tide is high, then hop onto one of the many boats that travel back and forth and if you are lucky, you may hear the boatsman tell a 'yarn' or two about smugglers and shipwrecks. You can easily spend a fun-filled day here exploring the castle, gardens and harbour, finishing off the day with a local cream tea in the castle tea shop - don't forget it's jam first, you are in Cornwall after all! Travel east to Perranuthnoe, a pretty cove with the award-winning Victoria inn, and Praa Sands with its laid-back beach bar and fantastic surf. Leave the car and grab the bikes left for guests' use, it's a great way of exploring the local area. It's a perfect spot for touring wider west Cornwall too and St Ives, Penzance, Mousehole and Sennen are all within easy reach as well as Porthleven, a top foodie destination. Atlantic Reach is a splendid escape for accessing the delights of Cornwall.
The entrance to St. Michael's Mount's magical castle and island fortification lies in Marazion. With its wide, sandy beaches and popularity as a watersports resort for sailing, windsurfing, paddle boarding, and kite boarding, this area is perfect for family vacations. The historic market town of Marazion is a lovely destination to visit at any time of year because it is located on the shore of Mount's Bay and offers breathtaking views of the Lizard peninsula and Land's End. In this historic region, you may find a wide assortment of gift and craft stores, art galleries, antique taverns, and top-notch restaurants.

Phillip
The house was lovely with everything you would need for a perfect holiday! The location is great and everything on the listing is spot on. The only thing we didn't see was if the property had stair gates for our toddler which it does so saved us taking our own. The house is only a five minute walk to the nearest pub which serves food specializing in pizzas and burgers only but has a great view out to sea! The other 3 pubs/restaurants which are only a 12 - 15 minute walk from the property all serve a range of good food and offer a warm welcome. Although the walk into the village is down hill going back up is also an easy walk and well lit with mostly foot paths so we found it very safe!! There is loads of parking down by the sea front if the 15-20 minute walk is too much for some. There is a playing field opposite the property which the local school uses hence sadly no dogs are allowed which is understandable but there is a little play park which all kids can use. Overall this is a great house and great location and Sharon the owner was lovely and couldn't be more helpful!! We all had a great time exploring the whole West of Cornwall!! We would book this again! Many thanks

The welcome cream tea and fizz was greatly appreciated and the hot tub was very clean and worked well. Very well stocked with all the tools and crockery you would need and well positioned for exploring the top of cornwall

Open plan and spacious. Sharon, our host was fantastically friendly but not intrusive. The situation of the cottage meant that at least two pubs serving lovely food were within easy walking distance. The cottage had all the comforts one would expect and the hot tub was a great size for our group. It was far enough out to feel âout of the wayâ but ten minute walk and you were in the town. All in all perfect for us.
