  If you wrote a postcard to a friend telling them that you were sitting in a beautiful garden, sipping a glass of chilled white wine and taking in  the glorious views over the entire crescent of Mounts Bay - all from a centrally located holiday home in Marazion – they probably wouldn’t believe you - until now! The Old School Room is a charming and distinctive Victorian building dating back to the  early 1800’s which is located in the very heart of this ancient Cornish seaside town. Recently converted into a stunning holiday home, the property benefits from reverse level accommodation with a relaxed open plan living area covering the entire first floor. High vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, original polished wooden floorboards, a wood burning stove for those chilly autumnal nights and double French style doors leading onto a rear decked area and a stunning large garden complete this  stylish property. The versatile and bustling little town of Marazion is dwarfed by St Michael’s Mount, the iconic island home of Lord St Levan which can trace its roots back to the early Phoenician times when it was heavily involved in the trade of tin. Every year, the Mount with its fairytale castle and tidal causeway, continue to attract thousands of visitors from all over the world. The beautiful crescent shaped beach is very child friendly and is also proving to be a Mecca for wind and kite surfers who flock to the area all year round. The regional hub of Penzance with its air and sea links to the Isles of Scilly is but a short drive and offers a plethora of shops, galleries, restaurants and pubs.   The Old School Room is a unique and beautifully appointed holiday home which will certainly not disappoint – but don’t delay for too long!

  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
