I can honestly say that this week in Marazion is my favourite and a major contributing factor to our wonderful experience is the gorgeous accommodation we stayed in. Ocean View is stylish yet cosy; modern and very comfortable. The cleanliness was great; the finishing touches lovely and we actually spent numerous mornings and evenings just chilling, watching tv, completing jigsaws and sitting watching St Michaelâs Mount through the three different windows with a glorious view! We are an active family of four (two adults, 6 year old and 3 year old) so the stairs up to the apartment were no problem for us. Love a bit of cardio! It may be tricky for someone with mobility issues though. The bedrooms were thoughtfully put together with comfy beds, lots of storage and bedside lamps. Whilst the blinds werenât completely blackout (we were there in August so sun shines early) the rooms were pleasantly dark when it was time for the little ones to go to bed. The bathroom has been fitted to a very high standard. The shower is lovely ( our kids âhatedâ showers on arrival and loved the shower at Ocean View!) the sink and toilet are quite high so the three year old needed a helping hand hopping on and off the loo and washing her hands but it really wasnât an issue. The high bathroom mirror suited my 6â2 husband and so I (5â2) made use of the plentiful other mirrors in the flat when I needed to do hair/makeup. The kitchen facilities were awesome - we used the dishwasher daily and thanks to the washing machine and airer provided, I was able to do laundry most days, drastically reducing my usual post holiday laundry session! Also enjoyed hoovering a couple of times after beach days. Some people may think Iâm bonkers for doing that (my husband being one of them) but having such a well appointed and perfectly equipped flat honestly made life so much easier and enjoyable while we were away. The weather was good but not amazing so we spent a good chunk of time sat watching the television/reading. The sofas were comfy, the kids snuggled under the gorgeously soft blankets and Mum and Dad enjoyed a cuppa and a slower pace of life. The TV allowed access to Netflix, Disney+ etc so tired little ones were easily entertained after busy days exploring Cornwall. The car park is as narrow as other reviews state and even my determined, experienced driver of a husband admitted that our estate wasnât going to get in and out easily or without a 20 point turn. We instead opted to book a parking space just down the road (5 minute walk) and that suited us perfectly. Iâd recommend booking in advance. I believe we used âJust Park.â The hosts very kindly provided a welcome pack of Cornish tea, coffee, biscuits and milk which was very gratefully received! Finding the superb information pack on arrival ensured we had all the necessary information about appliances and protocols in the flat as well as countless amazing recommendations for places to visit/explore/eat. Honestly I could go on, but Iâll stop there. Needles to say, we will 100% look to stay at Ocean View again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cosy, charming and modern place to stay in Cornwall.
