“This is our 4th stay at Castle View (we have booked again for next year - thanks for the £40 voucher).”

Great place to stay and the view of the Mount is fantastic good bus service and the major supermarkets are close by.

“This was our second time at Castle View and we've already booked to stay again in 2023!”

We love Marazion and it's location in Cornwall, there's plenty to do and see in that part of Cornwall. Castle View apartment has the fantastic view across The Bay to St Michael's Mount which is an absolute delight. The apartment is comfortable and equipped with everything you need for your stay. Marita, the owner, lives upstairs so is on hand if you have any queries but Marita does not intrude on your holiday. The parking spot is a bonus in Marazion, The Fire Engine pub being short walk away so no need to drive if you want to enjoy a good meal and/or drink. We were made aware of the building works next door before our visit but very honestly, we were not impacted or even aware of any work going on. We feel very happy and at home when staying in Castle View and look forward to being there again next year.

Joanne April 2022

“This was a beautiful property with a stunning view of St Michael's Mount.”

Parking was included which was a bonus. Everything we needed was provided and Marita left us fresh flowers, milk and biscuits which was a nice touch. We would definitely stay here again.

- Joanne, April 2022
Sheila April 2022

“We really couldn't fault this apartment, it was well laid out and well equipped, comfortable, warm and quiet.”

The owner was friendly and helpful and it probably has the best view in Cornwall. As walkers it was great to be actually on the South West Coast Path with the bonus of a regular bus service passing the door. We didn't use the car for 5 days. Thank you Marita.

“A lovely extremly clean apartment in a fantastic location.”

The owner was very friendly and approachable. Would definitely stay again.

- Kay, March 2022
Philip March 2022

“A charming little cottage, exactly as listed.”

The neat, well equipped and pretty interior was enhanced by the simply stunning, uninterrupted view of St Michael’s Mount. We arrived in the midst of a blustery storm, with a dramatic sea beyond the garden, to be greeted warmly by a friendly and helpful host. The flowers on the table, and biscuits she left for our arrival, were welcoming and delicious in turn. We we’re not daunted by the weather, the cottage and view made up for that. What followed was a bonus - a week of glorious wall-to-wall sunshine making our stay just perfect. The parking was another bonus, meaning we could happily use the frequent local buses which stopped just outside the property. Castle View is a most excellent holiday destination.

- Philip, March 2022
Andrew February 2022

“A wonderful apartment with a fantastic view.”

Combined with a very obliging host. We look forward to the time we can revisit.

- Andrew, February 2022
Kirsten February 2022

“Castle View apt is in a brilliant location - the views are breathtaking (even in the rain/hail).”

The apartment is warm and comfortable and has everything you need for your break away. Having off-street parking is amazing. Marazion itself is a fabulous location, with cute shops, good pub/food and an ideal location for exploring the west of Cornwall, with it's stunning coastline. We'd love to make a return trip.

- Kirsten, February 2022
Sue December 2021

“Our second stay at Castle View and hopefully not our last.”

We had a mixed week weather wise but the apartment is very warm and cosy, with the fantastic views of Mounts Bay, which made up for this. We were lucky enough to see St Michael’s Mount lit up on two evenings - magical sight - and the lovely, non-corporate Christmas lights in Marazion. Off road parking is a huge bonus. Highly recommended property.

- Sue, December 2021
Pat October 2021

“The best property we have stayed in at Marazion.”

Everything you needed for a perfect holiday. Exceptional view, lovely garden and patio. Perfect host

- Pat, October 2021
Janet October 2021

“Some have mentioned the steps down to the apartment.”

We are a couple of not too fit pensioners and we managed them perfectly alright. Marita, the owner, was there to offer help with our luggage. We would definitely stay here again.

- Janet, October 2021
Margaret September 2021

“An interesting and enjoyable break in Cornwall.”

1. First visit to Castle View. Being elderly with mobility problems I found the 19 steps a challenge, but well worth the effort when I got to the apartment. 2. Views of St. Michael’s Mount and Mounts Bay are outstanding, probably the best in Marazion. 3. Patio and cared garden are excellent. 4. Well-appointed and owner lives on-site, She was charming and most helpful. 5. The issue that concerned her was building work next door. It made no difference to our stay whatsoever. The contactor was most considerate. 6. Please do not be put off by adverse comments about the building. We were out most days and no noise at weekends or evenings. 7. A wonderful two-person holiday accommodation. 8. Bonus FREE PARKING, which is a real plus in Marazion.

- Margaret, September 2021
Lindsay September 2021

“Demolition works going on next door to apartment - very noisy and dusty.”

Not the quiet peaceful holiday we had hoped for.

Stuart July 2021

“Views from the property.”

Owner had provided garden furniture to allow us to chill in the garden on the days we were not sightseeing around beautiful Cornwall. Brilliant restaurants in Marazion within walking distance. if staying here St Michaels Mount well worth a visit.

- Stuart, July 2021
Robert June 2021

“Steps to the apartment are quite steep.”

Don't get me wrong they are do-able and not slippery at all. Just may not suit everyone. The apartment is lovely and views brilliant. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

- Robert, June 2021
Zoe June 2021

“The flat is very well positioned with a spectacular view.”

It’s slightly outside of the main town so it’s really quiet and only a short walk to the town. It was very clean and had all the amenities required for a comfortable stay.

- Zoe, June 2021
Alice June 2021

“We had a lovely week at Castle View.”

It was very clean and the view was fantastic. The owner was very helpful and the little touches like fresh flowers, milk and biscuits were appreciated. Unfortunately the weather was very mixed but it was a great week.

- Alice, June 2021
Michael May 2021

“Can't recommend this property enough, the owner is so friendly and welcoming.”

Everything you could want to make your holiday special is provided. We were fortunate enough to have amazing weather during our stay which put the icing on the cake. Will definitely be back.

- Michael, May 2021

Sarah April 2021

“Castle View is a lovely apartment with the most fantastic views towards The Mount.”

The sunny patio is lovely and the garden is charming. The apartment is well equipped and plenty big enough. Car parking at the top of the steps is a big bonus and the centre of Marazion is a short walk down the hill.This would be my dream place to live!

- Sarah, April 2021
Sue December 2020

“The view of St Michael’s Mount from Castle View exceeded expectations.”

“3rd time we stayed at Castle View booked again for Spring 2021 (Covid permitting).”

Love the place and the fantastic view.

Irene September 2020

“Excellent holiday.”

Beautiful sunshine all week. Outstanding views from the garden looking out to sea

- Irene, September 2020
Graham August 2020

“Lovely apartment with exceptional views.”

Everything there you would need and Marita (Owner) on hand to deal with any problems. Parking a huge plus as there is very limited parking in the area. The steps i will have to mention though. They are not easy to negotiate especially with luggage and should be mentioned on facilities as if you had any impairment would be very difficult. One suggestion would be to paint the front edge of each step in a lighter colour as because they are all brown hard to see where each step ends. I would recommend the apartment and rebook another time

- Graham, August 2020
Michael July 2020

“We were very pleased with this apartment and its location.”

It is well furnished and comfortable with a nice patio and garden with very good coastal views. It is ground floor and the owner Marita lives above with separate entrance. Marita was very helpful and friendly which all helped to make the holiday stay that much more enjoyable. The apartment has its own car parking space next to the Owner off the road, and there are quite steps down to the ground floor apartment, which did not bother us but may be a problem for some. Just 10 minutes walk into Marazion and three large supermarkets 10 minutes drive away. We found this a good base for driving to the various locations all around the coast and inland. The bed was comfortable although we are used to a larger one. The bathroom has a shower in a corner cabinet which works well, although on the small size. Wi fi speed is adequate.

- Michael, July 2020
Kara March 2020

“We had a very enjoyable stay here for three nights.”

The apartment is lovely, the view is spectacular and there is everything for your comfort. Marita is a perfect host and gave us great advice for our first tour around the lands end peninsula and the location lends itself easily to covering the coastline. You can easily walk into Marazion from the property and there are shops and pubs to get supplies and eat out. We were unable to visit St Michaels Mount as this was the start of precautions for the C19. So we are definitely coming back and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. You do need to be ambulant to negotiate the wooden steps to the apartment.

- Kara, March 2020
Graham February 2020

“Perfect location with a stunning view across to St Michaels Mount.”

The apartment had all the necessary facilities for a very relaxing and comfortable stay which we enjoyed. Not even storm Ciara (when we arrived) or storm Dennis (when we left) could put us off! In between, the weather was kind to us so we were able to get out and about to explore the beautiful Cornwall countryside and Castle View is the perfect location to do this.

- Graham, February 2020
Pamela October 2019

“The cottage is in a wonderful spot the views are fabulous ...”

The cottage is in a wonderful spot the views are fabulous The only thing is if your not very mobile the steps down to the cottage could be a problem But for us they were ok

“Lovely, well equipped apartment with a fantastic view.”

Great location for exploring some of the most beautiful parts of Cornwall.

Alan September 2019

“Very well appointed apartment with a superb view of St.”

Michael's Mount. Owner is handy if any problems although we didn't encounter any. We appreciated the tea, coffee, biscuits and milk etc left for our arrival. Comprehensive information left re wi fi code etc as we have stayed in some properties where these are not readily available. Pleasant 10/15 minute walk into town which has enough pubs and restaurants for most tastes. Would recommend the King's Arms and the Cutty Sark as we had good food in both of them. Walkway and boats to the Mount are yards from the centre and there are bus stops for Penzance and St Ives and beyond a few yards from the property.

- Alan, September 2019
Stephen September 2019

“Castle View is a lovely apartment, with everything you could want and a stunning view across St Michael’s Mount.”

Kerry August 2019

“Whilst everything you’d expect was provided, some things were very tired and need replacing.”

In particular the bed was like sleeping on a water bed, bouncing you about every time the other moved or got out of bed. It was very soft and sagging... need a new one and better quality. The tin opener did not work at all. The toaster needs upgrading to a 4 slice so 2 people can breakfast together. PLEASE provide more than 4 (mismatched) teaspoons. A couple of cups of tea and yoghurts and you constantly run out. The settee was very comfortable, and of course the superb location means you excuse the little annoying things!

- Kerry, August 2019

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay at Castle View Apartment. We find mattress comfort is a very personal preference and we are sorry to hear on this occasion ours was not to your liking. I would have been more than happy to have replaced the tin opener for you had I been asked, as I only live upstairs this would have been easily rectified. Following a very busy summer season it is quite the norm for cutlery to become mismatched, this will be looked into at the end of the summer season. Despite the points raised we were pleased to hear you enjoyed your visit. Property Owner
Liz August 2019

“Right from booking to the day if arrival, communication was excellent.”

Property was just as described with lots of extra little touches such as comfortable garden chairs as well as patio furniture. Kitchen was extremely well equipped, everything you could need.

Alison July 2019

“This was our 5th visit to Castle View & have already booked for next year!”

!!!! The apartment is PERFECT & Marita is a superb host, friendly, helpful & always pops down to see us once we've settled in - we absolutely LOVE being there. Relaxing on the patio whilst taking in the uninterrupted view of St Michael's Mount simply cannot be beaten, we've stayed at many places in Cornwall & pretty much know the county inside out but nothing beats the location, everything about Castle View is "5 star" !!!

Nancy June 2018

“The apartment had everything that we needed and more than we expected eg the use of a washing machine.”

The apartment is perfectly big enough for 2 people and the view is outstanding looking out to St Michael's Mount. Marita made us feel very welcome and had provided some nice touches for our arrival. Parking on the premises was great. We can highly recommend this apartment and if we are down this part of Cornwall again, we will certainly stay here.

The property

View the panoramic seascape capturing the grandeur of St Michael's Mount from this ground floor apartment, perfect for a romantic break, situated a short walk down to the glorious suntrap beach of Marazion. An ideal year round destination, you can dine in one of the small restaurants or inns of this charismatic coastal town, and relax and enjoy a coffee overlooking the Bay where the waters entice wind and kite-surfers in an ever changing vista.

At low tide, walk the narrow causeway to the majestic part-island of St Michael's Mount castle or take the ferry at high water to explore the tiny scenic harbour with cottages crouched alongside, and seek refreshments at the cafe or restaurant.

A few miles further east lies the charming rocky inlet of Prussia Cove, rewardingly reached by a pleasant 2 mile walk along the coastal path.

Within 10 minute drive you can browse Penzance with its sunny atmosphere, attractive streets, promenade and open-air Art Deco Jubilee Swimming Pool.

The harbour is a small yet busy hive of activity with fishing boats, visiting yachts and passenger boats.

With eating houses, museums and ornamental gardens, there is something for everyone.

St Ives is a must-see destination - an art and craft paradise of quirky shops and the famous Tate Gallery, all arced round a pretty harbour and sheltered beach with waterfront eateries and inns. Approach the apartment by steps leading down (unsuitable for the infirm) from a shared private parking bay into the small, pretty garden, sometimes used by the owner who lives above.

The apartment features a light, uncluttered open plan living room and sleekly styled kitchen with a dining table perfectly placed to frame the seascape.

Awake to the same enchanting view from the en-suite bedroom and at the end of the day toast the Cornish sunset from the deck.
