  NEW Just imagine sitting on the private roof terrace of your art deco holiday home, sipping chilled champagne, listening to the BBQ sizzle and taking in the 180 degree panoramic views over one of the best bays in the world - well imagine no more! Spinnakers is a sumptuous, three bedroom detached house designed by award winning local architect Barry Briscoe and situated in a secluded location high above the ancient market town of Marazion.

  This stunning property commands spectacular views over the island of St. Michael's Mount from almost every room whether you are lying in the king size bed in the master suite, rustling up a quick meal in the stylish central kitchen or having dinner with friends in the semi-circular dining room. Combined over three floors, Spinnakers has been cleverly designed and beautifully crafted in every aspect of its interior appointment ranging from the African hard wood floors throughout to the granite work tops and central island in the kitchen and from the bespoke roof top terrace to the striking solid Beech circular staircase which runs through the centre of the house. During the evening and due to the high elevation of the house, it is possible to view the twinkling lights of the entire crescent shape of Mounts Bay which encompasses the Lizard Peninsula and Porthlevan to the east, Perranuthnoe, Marazion and Penzance in the centre and the pretty fishing village of Mousehole to the west. The dominant centre piece is undoubtedly the mystical island of St. Michael's Mount rising out of the bay with its 14th century fairy tale castle which is floodlight during the summer evenings and visible from almost every room. Now the ancestral home of the St. Levan family, it has been leased to the National Trust in perpetuity and a visit during your stay is an absolute must.

  The centre of the ancient market town of Marazion is a short stroll and is well serviced by local pubs, restaurants and galleries. The regional hub of Penzance is also a short drive from the property with its air and sea links to the Isles of Scilly and a varied selection of shops, supermarkets, top quality restaurants and pubs. Words and photographs are really incapable of describing this fabulous holiday property - you must experience Spinnakers for yourself - but hurry - it won't be a secret for too long!

  Please note: This property can be booked with Beach Haven (Marazion) to seep a total of eight.

  Marazion is the oldest chartered town in Britain having been granted this status by King Henry III in 1257. Today, it is a small, peaceful town facing onto one of the most beautiful wide stretches of safe sandy beach in all of West Cornwall. Mount's Bay has recently been elected to 'The Most Beautiful Bays in the World' club, the prestigious worldwide association which also includes Cape Cod and San Francisco Bay in the USA, Paria Bay, Venezuela and Santorini Bay in Greece.

  It is praise that is richly deserved by this vast stretch of glittering water and its spectacular coastline that runs in a great arc from Land's End to Lizard Point. A bustling little resort, you will find quaint narrow streets and a variety of fascinating shops however the entire area is dominated by its dramatic neighbour, the island of St Michael's Mount. Located some three miles east of Penzance, the mount is one of the iconic treasures of Cornwall. Set on an island just off shore, this fairy tale castle is now owned by the National Trust and has for centuries been the home of the St Aubyn family. Originally, a Benedictine Priory, the island served as a major port in earlier times and is thought to be the island of "Ictis" which was the centre for the export of Cornish tin and copper to the Greeks and Romans in pre-historic times. Today, the Island and Castle are open to the public every weekday and most weekends during the summer and on a limited basis during the winter.

  This mystical island has a church, a medieval castle, an exotic garden clinging to the steep flanks, and an ancient harbour where you will find a myriad of shops and restaurants. Visitors can access the Mount either by an ancient causeway at low tide or by passenger ferry at high tide. Between Penzance and Marazion lies the Marazion Marshes, an area of water and reed-beds which is a magnet for wild birds, particularly during the autumn migratory period and a very popular destination for birdwatchers. Marazion retains its strong traditions as an ancient market town and its fascinating past is brought to life at a local museum situated at the Town Hall. Marazion is noted for its antique shops, art and craft galleries and for its traditional pubs and restaurants
