“We recently stayed at a lovely little cottage that offered stunning views of both the mount and the coast.”
The cottage itself was delightfully compact and incredibly comfortable, making for a cozy retreat. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the essentials, allowing us to prepare meals with ease. For entertainment, there was Sky TV, and the double bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. What impressed us most was how well the cottage was set up for dogs.

The cottage itself was delightfully compact and incredibly comfortable, making for a cozy retreat. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the essentials, allowing us to prepare meals with ease. For entertainment, there was Sky TV, and the double bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. What impressed us most was how well the cottage was set up for dogs. It featured stairgates to keep pets safe, hard surfaces that were easy to clean, and plenty of throws for the furniture, making it very pet-friendly. Although the access to the rear garden and yard was a bit steep, it was still usable and basked in plenty of sunlight throughout the day, creating a pleasant outdoor space. While the cottage is situated a little out of the main town, it offers good access to the coastal path, perfect for scenic walks and exploration. There is parking available for one car at the front of the property, though it might be a bit tight for larger vehicles, so plan accordingly. We highly recommend this cottage for two adults and their furry friends; it is an ideal, snug fit. While it could accommodate four adults, the space might feel a bit tight, but still charmingly snug. All in all, it's a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings.

Peter “Absolutely gorgeous cottage for my daughter dog and I to enjoy a week in Marazion with glorious sunshine.”
Waking up to the view was a dream. The cottage was most comfortable with everything we needed and the car parking space was such a boon. We can't wait to return. Thank you so much. Peter
- Peter, April 2025Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your stay. It's in a great location and such a lovely spot to spend a few days. We would love to welcome you again for another stay soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

Lindsey “Shame that there was only one night's supply of wood.”
But loved using the woodburner. Would consider returning in summer months but concerned that the summer room/ conservatory might be too hot as windows have limited opening. Love the fact there was a welcome pack and kitchen had washing up liquid and foil etc, so well stocked. thank you
- Lindsey, March 2025Thank you for sharing your feedback. It is usual for a starter pack of wood to be supplied for a log burner. Further supplies can be purchased locally. We are pleased that you had a cosy stay and made good use of the stocks provided. Best wishes Manor Cottages. Property Owner

Erica “We had a wonderful few days at Greeb Cottage making the most of the amazing views, from sunrise to sunset.”
The facilities were great with lots of extra comforts, from welcoming scones and essentials to firewood for the log burner. A wonderful stay and place. Also lots of great walks from the front door of a short drive away. Nice places to eat too in the village Only thing I would warn is the tight entrance, parking area for those perhaps with larger cars.
- Erica, February 2025Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your stay with us and it's such a lovely area to holiday in too. We would love to welcome you again very soon for another stay with us. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

Tony “Our second visit to Greeb Rock , great location, very cosy and comfortable cottage with a fantastic view of St Micheals , local beeches are great for walks with the pooch .”
Very reasonable price as well. Thank you.

Jane “Wonderful sea and St Micheal’s Mount views.”
A good location for walking around Marazion and along the beach stopping in at a café. Well equipped quirky cosy cottage in a quiet location with parking space a real plus point. The welcome flowers, cream tea and cleaning pack are a nice touch. We enjoyed our stay.
- Jane, November 2024Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and made the most of the beach location. We hope to welcome you again soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

Tony “Overall, a splendid place to stay.”
The welcome pack was much appreciated. We left a note for the cleaning team to say the bottom seal on one of the shower doors was found to be adrift, and there was no securing pin for the wooden gate: we tied this back as there was a day of high winds and rain. other than that we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay in a delightful part of Cornwall.
- Tony, September 2024Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We shall speak with the property manager to look into the shower seal and wooden gate and get this fixed, thank you for letting us know. Kind regards Manor Cottages Property Owner

Sarah “We had the most wonderful week at Greeb Rocks Cottage.”
The views were spectacular! The cottage was very comfortable and cosy with everything thought of and supplied to make our stay perfect. It really did feel like a home from home and we didn’t want to leave. I hope to come back again some day!
- Sarah, August 2024 -
Ellen “The front bedroom was never warm enough in this cold Summer.”
The microwave didn't work properly. The wash basin in the bathroom didn't drain.
- Ellen, July 2024Thank you for your feedback with regards with regards to your stay at Greeb Rocks Cottage. We are sorry to hear you had a couple of issues at the house, may i ask did you contact the Owner or Houskeeper to address these during your stay?. We would love to welcome you again for another stay in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

Karen “We had a brilliant week at Greeb rocks cottage , well equipped, very clean and comfortable and the view was fabulous.”
The welcome cream tea was a lovely touch too everything was perfect would definitely return (One thing I found was the mat in the conservatory could do with been fastened down some how as I slipped a few times )
- Karen, June 2024 -
Wendy “Microwave turn table not working Lots & lots of dust webs on ceilings & lights & lots of spiders which luckily don't scare me but would lots of people Shower an absolute pain.”
Partly because it only has an overhead rose and not a separate hand held one, and also because it has to be activated by turning the sink tap on before the water will come out of the shower. Have to wear a shower cap when not washing hair, and even when washing / conditioning hair as it was a pain to have to turn it off (so you didnt wash the conditioner off when cleaning)and then get out of the shower to turn the sink tap on to get the shower working again. This was also dangerous as slippy when still lathered. This needs fixing urgently. The welcome pack was lovely and we enjoyed the downstairs more & more as the holiday progressed. Final comment, the garden would be more useful in the evenings if the neighbours tree was cut to a reasonable size and possibly also the vine. We were there at the middle of June and had no sun after 5.30pm in the garden,
- Wendy, June 2024 -
Robert “Very enjoyable stay, cottage has fantastic views of St Michaels Mount.”
Short walk to Marazion.

Lesley “Third visit to Greeb Rocks.”
Love it! There really is that view of St Michaels Mount from the cosy conservatory, but also the whole bay can be seen too. Smashing early morning walks to the beach. We enjoyed a return visit to Penlee House and Gallery in Penzance and the many exotic plants in the local park, Morrab Gardens, and a wander along to nearby Newlyn. Visited Lamorna, Sennon Cove, St Just and St Ives, Porthleven, Coverack, and Mullion. Lesley

Will “The cottage was lovely, everything was set-up perfectly for arrival and the welcome treats were a bonus after a long drive!”
The Conservatory / sun-room over-looking the sea is amazing & certainly where we spent a lot of time - the cottage is worth it for the views alone from this room. Thanks for a lovely stay again! Cheers, Will
- Will, May 2024Thank you Will for your lovely feedback, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay and the views. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Best Wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

Views from the conservatory absolutely stunning Good location for visiting the area The Minack Theatre experience was sensational as we had a full moon rising alongside the stage

Overall we were immensely satisfied.

Laura “We had an absolutely fabulous weekend at the cottage!”
It’s beautiful, perfect location, and the views from the back are unbelievable…felt like a bit of paradise. Facilities were brilliant, and bed comfy!! The only downside was was a slight smell of damp, but given the type and age of the cottage that’s acceptable! We’re considering coming back for a winter break, it would be perfect with the log burner and to just watch the world go by from the sun room.
- Laura, October 2023Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time away and we appreciate you making us aware of the damp. We will pass this onto the owner and hope to welcome you again one day in the future. Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner

The view from the sun room and bedroom across St micheals mount was fantastic cottage quiet and peaceful we had a good week thanks
- Ian, September 2023 -
Sarah “We loved the views from the cottage, however on day two, the shower head dropped off and hit me on the head.”
Someone came out to look at it but needed to order a new part and so did a temporary fix with sealant and tape. We were told we could still use the shower but after using it we found we had sealant in our hair and on our skin. We called them out again and they did something else to the temporary fix and were told the new part should be fitted on Friday (after we left). As a result we didn’t feel we could really use the shower, especially for our little boy and had to spend time on our holiday trying to get it fixed.
- Sarah, September 2023Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your stay at Greeb Rocks. We can only apologise for the issues that you encountered with the shower head during your stay. The shower has now been repaired and we hope that we can welcome you again one day in the future. Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner

Laura “This was our second time at Greeb Rocks Cottage and it hopefully won’t be our last!”
We absolutely love it here, from the cozy qualities of the cottage to the absolutely stunning views from the main bedroom and the conservatory. Whatever the weather, this is the perfect little cottage to have as a base to explore Cornwall!
- Laura, August 2023 -
Hugo “My wife did not sleep well the first night, as she smelt damp in the bedroom but after we had left all windows open for the day.”
She was fine. Not sure this would be possible in winter months.
- Hugo, August 2023 -
Colin “The cottage is in a quiet location off the main road with a beautiful view across the bay.”
We have stayed in a number of cottages and we appreciated the attention to detail and quality of the mattress, bedding, kitchen ware and furniture as a whole as this made our stay much more comfortable.
- Colin, July 2023Thank you for taking time to leave this feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner

David “It is a lovely cottage with a stunning view.”
An ideal base if you want to tour the area, but also, if you want to take your work with you and use it to work from "home," in an idyllic backdrop, it serves as both.
- David, July 2023Thank you for providing us with such lovely feedback on your stay at Greeb Rocks Cottage. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time away and we hope that we can welcome you again one day soon. Best wishes, HideAways. Property Owner

Wendy “Greeb Rocks Cottage is beautiful & has the most idyllic setting, overlooking St.”
Michael's Mount & the sea...on our arrival we were welcomed with a cream tea which was a lovely gesture & much enjoyed after a long journey... the fresh flowers were also a nice thought... The bed, including the pillows ( which can be a bug bear) was so comfortable..with no issues in having a good night sleep... On arrival the weather was sunny & warm, it didn't last & the rest of the week was wet, windy & cold... on this note we noticed that the cottage downstairs was a bit chilly at nights... we could not get the underfloor heating in the kitchen to work as we could not get the temperature guage to turn on, which may have solved the chills downstairs.. However, overall we had a lovely week, touring around & will be back again... thank you
- Wendy, April 2023Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed Greeb Rocks Cottage and its Surroundings. We have passed your comments on to Housekeeping. Best wishes, Hideaways Property Owner

Chris “Lovely cottage with fabulous view.”
Only drawback is the garden which is to be honest tatty. Also we had booked to take our dog but decided not to as she is elderly and hadn't been well. Very glad we didn't as she wouldn't have got down the steps as they are so steep.I think this needs stressing in the description. Having said that we would certainly go again.
- Chris, April 2023Thank you for your feedback. We will pass your comments onto the owner. We are pleased that you enjoyed the cottage and the view. We hope to welcome you back. Best wishes HideAways Property Owner

Debra “One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in and we have been staying in cottages every year for the last 30 years ( except for one covid year).”
We will be booking there for next year! As I don't see that anywhere else in Cornwall could beat that one for all our needs. Kind regards Debra Waters

Luke “It was difficult to keep the property warm in January, the bedroom being the most challenging.”
The welcome pack had informed us not to change the timer settings on the electric heaters in the bedroom and lounge but both heaters had no timings set. The 'Boost' button was a particular distraction during the night as it illuminated the bedroom in blue light and I was forced to turn the whole unit off and bring the oil heater up from the conservatory. The pilows for the master bed may have once been very good quality but it seems they are now quite past their best. I appreciate that everyone has their own idea of an ideal pillow but we may all agree that the filling should remain underneath our heads rather than migrating to either end of the pillow. The views are absolutely remarkable and the property itself has a wonderful style. During the summer months 'Greeb' would be the perfect getaway.
- Luke, January 2023Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We're pleased that you enjoyed the property, however are sorry to hear there were problems with the heating. We have passed this to the owner to make them aware. Best wishes, HideAways Property Owner

Philip “Really nice cottage with fantastic views.”
Had one minor issue which couldn't be fixed by maintenance but otherwise really enjoyed stay
- Philip, October 2022 -
Richard “We had a very enjoyable week at Greeb Rocks Cottage.”
The views across to St Michael's Mount are wonderful and we could just sit back and relax in the conservatory when the weather became a bit too wet to go outside! We were extremely pleased to have luckily been able to book this cottage at such short notice! Would very happily stay again in future. Thank you!

Debbie “Just returned from a week at Greeb Rocks Cottage.”
Wow! What a true Hideaway!! We found the cottage itself just perfect, very clean and well equiped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The view from the conservatory and upstairs bedroom overlooking St Michael's Mount was amazing. The cream tea and flowers left for our arrival was a lovely touch. The owners have thought of everything. We particularly chose the cottage as our dog was welcome to stay too. Outside is a small patio area but very sufficient space for our time there. For September, we truly had lovely sunny weather and actually didn't use the car once during our stay. Marazion beach was a perfect dog friendly beach (restrictions now don't seem to apply after 31st August, despite some signs saying end of September). Lovely walks along the coastal footpath to both Penzance and also Perranuthnoe. We ate both in the Kings Arms but mainly The Fire Engine Inn, both dog friendly. Would recommend both. A wonderful relaxing stay and would definitely return. Thank you.
- Debbie, September 2022Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad that you were so pleased with the cottage and the area. What a rare treat to be able to have a car-free holiday! Thank you for your recommendations of the local pubs. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes Hideaways Property Owner

Susan “Loved this quaint cottage.”
We mainly sat in the conservatory overlooking the sea and St Michaels Mount. We had a mixed week weather wise but still very warm. Watching the climate change and the rain role in over the sea was mesmerising!. Great location for dog walking and pubs and shops a short walk away…
- Susan, September 2022Amazing to hear you had a lovely stay at the cottage. You enjoyed the view in the conservatory over looking the sea and St Michaels Mount. Thank you for taking the time leave a review. Best Wishes, Hideaways. Property Owner

Angela “The view from the upstairs bedroom and conservatory was absolutely amazing.”
Cottage and facilities were spot on. The garden could do with tiding up to make it more usable and inviting. Had a lovely holiday. Thank you.
- Angela, July 2022Thank you for your feedback and we're glad you had a lovely holiday at Greeb Rocks Cottage. The views are indeed amazing and we hope to welcome you again. Property Owner

Robert “Fantastic cottage, worth going just for the views of the sea & St Michaels Mount.”
On arrival cream tea was a welcome treat. With milk/tea/coffee & flowers a nice touch. Bed was very comfy, next time we would bring my own pillows as the ones supplied were a bit soft for us (but this is only a personal choice). Even on a couple of wet Cornwall days sitting in the conservatory looking at the views was so relaxing. Next bit is just for the owner, I think there's the start of a leak under the shower. a trickle of water is coming from under the tray on the right hand side when the shower is on. There was also a slight leak from the conservatory above the door as you enter the conservatory. Both points in no way effected our stay. Just thought you should know. Kind regards Bob
- Robert, June 2022Brilliant you had a great stay at the cottage and enjoyed the cream tea. Thank you for the information regarding the shower and conservatory, with a leak. We will this addressed with maintenance. Thank you for leaving feedback. Property Owner
-
Elisabeth “This cottage is just perfect, the location is amazing.”
It’s also an incredibly reasonable price. The only problem we had in our stay was the dishwasher was a bit temperamental but we had such a great time. Marazion itself is lovely, and the view of St Michael’s Mount is exceptional from the cottage. We will definitely be back. My only concern is that other people discover this place!
- Elisabeth, May 2022Thank you for your lovely review and we're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Greeb Rocks Cottage. We hope the temperamental dishwasher didn't impact on your stay and thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope to welcome you again. Property Owner

Linda “The cottage is very clean and comfortable.”
Lovely touches were added, the flowers and the cream tea. The bed was very comfortable and bedding and towels were excellent quality. The view from the sun room was mesmerising. I read and was distracted by the view and the changing weather and sea. We only visited the terrace once as the weather wasn’t the best we’d had and no-one can help that!!! Maybe the terrace would benefit from a coat of paint. Parking is alright once you are used to it! On arrival it was very tight with a big car but we cracked it by the end of the week! We’d be very happy to return. Thank you.
- Linda, May 2022Thank you for providing a lovely review and we're glad you enjoyed your stay - the view is indeed amazing! We hope to welcome when the weather is nicer. Property Owner

Deborah “Lovely cottage, the views are truly amazing, better than the photos.”
Really comfortable beds and very clean. Great conservatory and terrace seating, lots of space to relax and easy walk into Marazion. The Fre Engine pub and the Godolphin are great places to eat, and the fish and chip shop! If we could suggest anything to add, it would be that some brief, clear hand written instructions for the Bosch oven and hob would be great. Even with the instructions manuals, it's way too complicated and if you arrive late and need to use the oven, it takes an hour to work it out! A useful tip is, the hob plates don't go red and if you take the pan off, you have to start over! The only other thing is that it is really inconvenient, bthese days not to have a hand held shower in addition to the main one. And lastly, the check out time is a bit early... It is a holiday and to be out by 9, with all the cleaning requirements means you get 6 days, not 7! But it's a great place for a low key escape. Recommend it warmly!
- Deborah, April 2022Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and we're delighted you enjoyed your stay at Greeb Rocks Cottage, and particularly the views! Thank you also for your recommendations for local places to eat which are appreciated. The other issues you mention, we will pass on to the property manager and we're grateful for bringing these to our attention. Property Owner

Sylvia “We had a wonderful few days in Cornwall and being able to come home at night to a comfortable and pleasant cottage as Greeb cottage proved to be made it even a better experience for us.”
The views from the back of the house were amazing. we both felt very secure in Greeb cottage and wouldn't hesitate to do it all over again.

Will “A fantastic cottage with a marvellous view.”
Perfect Easter break. Very close to local pubs and stores more like a 5 minute walk than 10.

Eric “The metal bin for putting cold ash from the fire in was completely full.”
We emptied some of it out after speaking to the cleaning company and they sent us some bags. However the bin is still very full and requires emptying. Also on Saturday 19th March there was a very heavy storm and water came through the chimney in the conservatory and also came through the doors in the main bedroom, and we had to put a towel in front of the doors to soak up the water.
- Eric, March 2022 -
Melissa “We had a wonderful stay at Greeb Rocks Cottage.”
The view from the conservatory is stunning (and quite tricky to draw yourself away from!) The beds are super comfy and the welcome gifts of a cream tea and local apple juice was a lovely touch. Would very much love to stay again.
- Melissa, March 2022 -
Helen “Fantastic cottage - great location, amazing view, lovely rooms.”
Highly recommended for a winter visit.

Anna “Light in conservatory didn't work.”
Could have done with a mirror on the ground floor near the row of coat hooks which kept falling off! Loved the welcome pack (but not the Mince Pies!), Christmas tree and the fact that it was warm on arrival. Bed and pillows comfortable and just wonderful to lie in bed and see St Michael's Mount. Would highly recommend you suggest future renters take a torch and mention that the property is down a private lane with lots of puddles!
- Anna, December 2021Thank you for your post and we are delighted that you loved the cottage as much as we do! The light in the conservatory needed a new bulb which has now been replaced. We keep spare batteries and bulbs under the kitchen sink, as well as a torch! Property Owner

Kath “There was a problem in that the barbecue was left unclean.”
The last people to use it should have cleaned it. Everything else was superb. Very comfortable , wonderful view and very clean.

Well thought attention to detail. Perfect location.

Laura “We absolutely loved our holiday at Greeb Rocks Cottage!”
It was so beautiful and the views were stunning, especially from the bedroom balcony. Our daughter loved being so close to the beach and Marazion is a perfect base to explore Cornwall. The cottage had everything we needed, including some lovely scones, cream and jam for our arrival. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be returning!
- Laura, July 2021 -
Sue “Lovely little cottage.”
Very clean and comfortable with everything that you could need for a holiday and with a sofa now added to the conservatory it was great. Beautiful views (apart from the day we had Cornish Mizzle!) especially from the Juliet balcony in the bedroom. Very comfortable bed. Central for visiting that very southern area of Cornwall, which we love. We had some wonderful entertainment one evening with many helicopters circling, landing and taking off again on St Michaels Mount in preparation for the G7 summit just around in Carbis Bay. With no garden it’s not ideal for a young dog because we had to take her out very early and very late on a lead but when we originally booked for 2020 we had an older dog. At that time, April 2020 and in lockdown, no rebates were being given by Sykes for cancelling for a June holiday so I had to forward my booking to this year. Not complaining about the dog as that was up to us but I am just recommending that it’s not ideal for a young dog who wants to go out a lot. We did manage to find some fields a short walk away. The little patio underneath is really nice reached by wooden steps from conservatory but again not ideal for a young energetic dog or anyone nervous of steps. Marazion is a lovely old village and with Penzance just a mile or two along the road and with all the shops and supermarkets that you could need. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and certainly miss the view now that we are back. We would definitely return one day.

Roger “The only problem we encountered was the lack of operating instructions for the cooker and hob.”
if you had used a Bosch unit before you would be okay but it is hardly intuitive i had to get on too get operating instructions so a simple set of instructions would be useful. other than that it is a really good cottage walking through the door is like putting on a comfy jumper you feel at home right away.
- Roger, May 2021Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments on Greeb Rocks Cottage. We are sorry to hear that you were unable to locate the instructions for the cooker and the hob, they are kept in the Cottage handbook. We are glad that you felt at home during your stay. Hideaways.

Lesley “The panoramic view encompassing St Michael’s Mount from the sunroom and from the little balcony in the bedroom is amazing, and the fully enclosed sunny patio area, which, despite being small, is very dog friendly, even for an enthusiastic boxer.”
There’s also a covered seating area if the sun is too bright. There are lovely circular walks from the cottage through the village and onto the dog friendly beach. The fish and chips, especially the fish, from the local Marazion ‘Tudor Chippy’ was consistently excellent.
- Lesley, April 2021Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments on Greeb Rocks Cottage. We are so pleased the weather was sunny so you were able to take advantage of the sunroom! Property Owner

Janet “Really lovely cottage with the most fantastic view.”
Convenient location for the town and beaches.
- Janet, October 2020 -
Richard “The cottage was lovely and comfortable, a real home from home.”
The flowers and cream team on arrival were very welcome after a long drive. Like previous guests we fell in love with the sun terrace with great views of St Michael's Mount. The beach is in walking distance. Dinner at The Godolphin Arms was lovely. We were sorry that we did not have access to the garden as we had taken our 2 dogs and the patio was not really suitable for them. Had I known that we didn't have access, I wouldn't have booked this property, but having said that we had a great time and would go again but not with our dogs.

Jayne “Parking and vehicle access were VERY tight.”
Cottage was nice but lacked love and presentation. Sofas are a bit clinical and modern for such and old traditional cottage. Conservatory is laid out and furnished without considering the need for comfortable seating. However we had a thoroughly wonderful week and dogs thought it was great but we may not return for the price. Outdoor space was wonderful but a bit wet and windy to enjoy in March x

Sallyann “We had the most lovely holiday at Greeb Rocks.”
It's such a beautiful cottage with fantastic views. Miss it already and would definitely go back. Walking distance to shops, pubs and St Michael's Mount. Enjoyed the welcome Cornish afternoon tea on arrival.

Lorna “We loved the house.”
It was my husbands 50th and I had planned some exciting things to do. This was a fantastic location and from the instant we arrived this house was all we asked and more. The cream tea waiting for us set us up for the week. Thank you for a great stay.

Deborah “This is a beautiful quaint cottage and was a lovely base to explore the beautiful Cornish coast and countryside.”
The bed was so comfortable and views were amazing. Only little niggle would be to put some comfy seating in the conservatory as most people will spend a lot of time in here we actually moved one of the settees so we could sit in comfort. Highly recommended place to stay

Tracy “The view is breath taking when you look over to St Michael's mount , photos need changing on lounge as there are different settees on website!”
only down side is parking is a bit tight for a larger car especially having to have the wheelie bin in front of garage

Jenni “Beautiful town, close to what we wanted to see, enjoyed the conservatory.”
Well equipped. Spacious, character cottage. We could feel the age of the place. Stairs would be difficult for a tall person, or a less agile person. Would be a problem parking a large car.

Chloe “Cottage was clean, homely and comfortable.”
There was a slight problem with the conservatory but everyone at the Cornish cottage care were helpful and professional in trying to sort the issue.

Deborah “This is our 3rd year at Greeb Rocks cottage & we absolutely love it.”
The cottage is so cosy & everything is there that you could possibly need. We will be visiting it again in the years to come. The only drawback is there is no recycling facilities at the cottage.

Judy “Only booked 6 nights instead of 7, annoyingly told a £30 admin charge would be incurred to change booking to include another night (Thurs 24th).”
Would have been better to honour it, but then everybody charges for everything nowadays, so that was my very first impression of Hideaways - could potentially be more accommodating for their valued customer, especially if they are to return. First impressions of cottage are it's beautiful and cosy, a nice touch with clotted cream scones and flowers. Bought anthracite for fire as none provided, left some for next holidaymaker to use. Under beds in main bedroom not cleaned very thoroughly (hairballs and dust). Perhaps it would a good idea to provide something to read, ideas of what to do, vouchers, booklets about Cornwall, decent map/s, eating places etc. A 'Please Mind Your Head' notice would be a good idea on the upstairs balcony and French doors to the conservatory. Underfloor heating in kitchen awesome, the kitchen door lets in quite a draft when it's windy outside - perhaps a heavy curtain across might alleviate this. Views awesome. TV good with Sky, which can drop off sometimes (together with telephone signals which are notoriously bad in Cornwall). Sofas are not the most comfortable for 4 people to relax on. The quaintness and charm of the cottage together with the décor and overall cleanliness and views of sea and St Michael's Mount are the things that I would recommend most, together with the log fire. It's a cosy and welcoming cottage with parking included and it is perfect for a short family break.

Guests' review on TripAdvisor “The booking of Greeb Rocks Cottage was exceptional through Hideaways, who were extremely helpful in providing me with extra photos of the stairs due to my mobility problem.”
The cottage was so comfortable and cozy, the sun room and terrace with the amazing views of the sea and St Michael's Mount being the highlights. A perfect spot to watch the many birds in the garden and have a glass of wine in the evening. The cottage was spotlessly clean, with everything you would possibly need in the kitchen to cook a meal. A lovely cream tea and cider were provided on our arrival too, which was much appreciated. We found Marazion itself a really lovely place for a quiet holiday, with plenty of places to eat within walking distance. The Marazion marshes are worth a visit for bird watchers too.There is a regular bus service to Penzance and Nippy taxis, so we were able to get about without a car.

Guests' review on TripAdvisor “Booked Greeb Rocks as a late booking over New Year 2016/17 for myself, my partner and our small dog.”
We couldn't have been happier, from the moment we arrived in Marazion driving along the coast and past the awe inspiring St Michael's Mount, to the moment we opened the cottage door into a warm welcoming kitchen with exceptional cider and homemade mince pies waiting on the table and the decorated Xmas tree in the snug lounge. The cottage was perfectly clean and comfortable and the view out on to the mount is just breathtaking. We didn't have the time to enjoy the garden but it looks wonderful as it leads down to the sea with nothing between the cottage and it. Whilst in Marazion we are at Ben's Cornish Kitchen which is as good as everyone told us it would be. (We'd booked in advance which is a must if you hope to find a table) We found Marazion to be a great base to discover the deep south west but a limited as a destination itself unless you are planning to walk the coastal path or need seclusion. Greeb Rocks Cottage though is perfect, warm cost and yards from the beach. We can't wait to return.

The property
What a view!
Greeb Rocks Cottage is a true gem of a Cornish cottage.
Tucked away down a quiet no-through lane, a few minutes walk from the heart of Marazion and a short stroll to the beach, this cute cottage is a great spot to enjoy a true "Ocean View"!
From an elevated glass room off the Living Room , you will enjoy a stunning vista of St Michael's Mount, Mounts Bay and Penzance in the distance, and (to be honest!) do little else as it is that simply jaw dropping!
The cottage is very typical of the region, atmospheric and welcoming with many period features plus modern touches like a cosy wood burning stove for cooler evenings.
Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom, with the master enjoying a superb view from the bed!
Relax and admire the awe-inspiring views of sea and sky, whatever the weather, from the comfort of the sun room or hole up in the snug sitting room with its welcoming wood burning stove and original stone walls after a bracing walk along the beach.
On a summer's evening, you'll find the balcony attached to the main bedroom is the perfect spot for an evening drink as the sun sets.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
