  The Summer House is an immensely popular apartment that sits in a commanding position on the seaward side of this ancient market town with stunning views over the iconic island of St. Michaels Mount and Mounts Bay beyond– One of the major benefits in renting this property – and there are many - is the large balcony to the rear of the apartment which has panoramic views of the fairy tale Castle that sits atop St Michael’s Mount which is normally floodlight in the evenings and is therefore just perfect for that early Gin & Tonic or late evening al fresco supper! The spacious, light and open plan design, contemporary furnishings and neutral decorative palette invokes a very special feeling to this property which conjures up memories of care free summer holidays with endless days of sunshine, warm summer winds, Cobalt  blue skies, golden sandy beaches and al fresco dining late into the evening!

  The apartment forms part of The Summer House Gallery and is punctuated throughout with striking examples of original paintings and prints from well known local and national artists which are also exhibited in the Gallery immediately below – many of which are for sale. The Summer House also benefits from secondary heating in the form of a small wood burning stove which ensures that the apartment has all year round appeal whether you are booking a week in the depths of winter or just a short break with friends in the late autumn or spring. Marazion continues to be a very popular holiday destination (for couples and families alike) as this unspoilt village which sits in the curve of Mounts Bay has one of the longest and safest beaches in West Cornwall.  The regional hub of Penzance is a ten minute drive and offers a plethora of good restaurants, shops, galleries and transport links to the Isles of Scilly. The Summer House Apartment is a beautiful property and in constant demand so please ensure that you book early to avoid disappointment.

  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
