Lovely property, and a great location but needs smartening up and attention to detail upgraded.

Thank you for your review of The Old School Room, we are so pleased that you enjoyed the location - Marazion is a wonderful location and a great base for exploring the South West. We are sorry that the property didn't quite meet your expectations and will be in touch. Sarah, Customer Support

The Old School Room proved to be a perfect base to explore the Cornish coast. The house is beautiful, quiet, we’ll kept with a gorgeous garden. It’s location in the heart of Marazion meant only a five minute walk to the beach, St Michael’s mount and the various amenities. The car parking space takes all the hassle out of visiting Marazion, we have a medium sized SUV and had no problems, with room for another car if needed.
Mrs Rates March 2022
We read the glowing reports on the website of the welcoming Cornish tea…..but no! Perhaps it’s only during the summer. (The milk, bread and fairings were welcome anyway.)
Had an excellent and very well priced meal at the hotel restaurant.
Mr Hickman November 2021
The parking is a real bonus for Marazion. Upside down accommodation as the bedrooms are downstairs and this works well as the property is set into sloping terrain and there is little natural light downstairs. Great views from the garden. Only comment would be that the knives are getting a little blunt! The Victoria Inn in Perranuthnoe was great for eating out and we booked that for a second night.

We're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Marazion. Thanks so much for letting us know about the knives - we've asked the housekeeper to have a look and also to double check that there is a knife sharpener available in the cottage. It's great to see that you visited the Victoria Inn - it's very popular with locals as well. Tanya, Customer Support

This is a beautiful space and is extremely well equipped; everything you could possibly need is there. The garden is huge and very natural. Parking space is a real bonus. We had the best time and felt so at home it was hard to leave. I will definitely look at staying again.
Ms Stone April 2021
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the old school house which is in an excellent location for the beach and local shops, with access directly onto the South West coastal path and a couple of hundred yards from St. Michaels Mount. There is a bus stop about 50 yards away. The local people couldn’t have been more friendly and welcoming and I would recommend supporting their small businesses when visiting. Particularly recommended is ‘The Copper Spoon’ just down the road for its fresh Sourdough and pastries. The house itself is an excellent home from home with all the contemporary conveniences that you could hope for. The elevated enclosed garden is private and has spectacular views.
Mrs Eason April 2021
The cottage is wonderful, very spacious and well thought out. We had a great time. The garden is fabulous with great views over Mount’s Bay from the top and it’s a real sun trap. The cottage is very well equipped and the owners have thought of everything. And such a bonus to have parking!
Mrs Hume December 2020
Wonderful cottage, perfectly equipped, well placed and an absolute delight to holiday in... If you ever sell it ring me! lol My family come from Marazion and it was nice to show my husband where they used to live and farm from 1850 - 1982 ish. Thankyou for letting us stay we really appreciated the set up and Im sure the garden in the spring/summer is an absolute delight. The dog was very happy too!

A well appointed comfortable home with a large garden, and an amazing wood burner. We were so warm and cosy. Not our last visit by any means!
Mr Beard September 2020
Excellent location if you wnat to leave the car parked for a while. The garden would be superb for sitting out in the summer months.
Mrs Gizzi January 2020
Excellent stay, the owners have thought of everything.. the garden is huge with a wonderful view of the bay.. Lovely touch the goodie basket of local produce and doggie treats.. would definitely recommend to friends..
Mrs Coniam November 2019
We found the Old School Room the perfect holiday 'home from home.' Anything you could possible want is provided in very high quality accommodation. Ideal in every way. Would recommend wholeheartedly.
Mr Hollis September 2019
We stayed for 2 weeks in Sept/October and really enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed the cream tea and the flowers left for us was a really nice welcoming touch - thank you Emma! It is tastefully decorated, very well equipped with everything we needed and more besides. Lovely big garden and it was shame we couldn't use it more because of bad weather. The position in Marazion is great, as is the parking space. It was also very quiet. Really comfy bed and bedding. Great en-suite shower. We hope to stay again next year
Mr Walker September 2019
The Old School Room Cottage is well positioned in Marazion. It offers very comfortable accommodation, beautifully decorated throughout, and very well equipped . The spacious garden , with views out to sea is an added bonus .
Ms Jago September 2019

Mrs Broomhead August 2019

Mrs Broomhead August 2019

Miss Shaw August 2019
Beautiful place to stay...located really well for everything..just don't put the price up too much.
Mrs Chandler July 2019
We had a wonderful time and the cottage was everything we hoped it would be and more. Fantastic location, extremely well stocked and furnished and a real home from home. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. Only one problem and that was that a week simply wasn’t long enough!
Mr Baxter May 2019
The Old School Room is a wonderful cottage. It is in a wonderful location and the mount and beach are easily walkable. There is an even nearer dog walking beach than long rock and a lovely walk on the hillside behind the cottage. The garden is secure for dogs although I did have to block a gap by the pole as my dog was taking a lot of interest in it! We caught the direct but to Penzance and St Ives to avoid traffic and parking. This was easy and the stop was near the property. I am struggling to think of any negatives. This cottage met all our needs (walkable beach/pub/Mount) and was lean with everything for a great stay. A lovely welcome ‘pack’ too, including milk, tea bags, scones and dog treats was a ‘welcome’ surprise. Book here and you won’t be disappointed.
Mrs Herbert May 2019
A beautiful home well equipped in a peaceful location with easy access to Marazion. We were delighted with the generous gifts left for us and the dog on our arrival.
Mrs De Lukowicz April 2019
We had a wonderful stay at The Old School Room. The pictures really don’t do it justice. Everything was so clean and fresh. The children loved the garden and spent all of their time out there or on the Mount! The real bonus was that we ended up having a car free holiday which was brilliant. I have already recommended your company to friends who saw my photos and wanted to know more!
Ms Burdge April 2019
Our stay was just a delight and would love to go back to this fabulous cottage
Miss Whale October 2018
We loved our stay at the Old School Room - it surpassed our expectations. Beautifully furnished and presented, spotlessly clean, and with lots of little extra touches that made it feel special. The garden (and view from it) was amazing - the dog was in heaven. We will definitely return.
Miss Shaw August 2018
Beautiful place to stay ..central to many places to visit..wonderful.
Ms Godfrey August 2018
Beautiful, perfect cottage with gorgeous bedding and all the things you could possibly want. So relaxing, we will definitely return
Mr Eddon July 2018
Thanks for a great stay
Mrs Lindstrom June 2018
A fantastic cottage in a great location, views from the garden were great and our dog loved running around. The cottage was really well presented and we loved relaxing in the open plan living space upstairs. We'll definitely be back!
Mrs Davies June 2018
Lovely cottage and garden very well equiped with good quality items
Mr Clark May 2018
Fabulous space in a wonderful location.
Mr Southward May 2018
This is a lovely cottage ideally situated to explore the southern tips of Cornwall. When we arrived there was milk in the fridge plus clotted cream to go with the scones and jam in our welcome basket. There were also teabags & biscuits for us plus biscuits for the dog which we thought was great. The large garden was fantastic for the dog it was enclosed and safe. Although dogs are only allowed on most beaches after 7 pm if you walk from Marazion towards Penzance on the coastal footpath there is a dog friendly beach that they can go on.
