The Old School Room

I found both the owners and classic very responsive when we needed them on first arrival. The cottage is beautiful and very well located for a Cornish holiday. We used the local bus service and mainly left the car at the cottage as we explored the area. Locally, the Kings Arms is a very good hostelry for food and drink, we loved the atmosphere there. We also enjoyed eating at the Godophin Arms. enjoying watching the causeway to St Michael's mount emerge as we ate dinner. The cottage itself is just about perfect, with the bedrooms downstairs in perfect darkness to ensure a good nights sleeps. Upstairs is the open plan living, well equipped, which suited us perfectly for a family of four....

The Old School Room lives up to the Classic Cottage name. It is not only Classic, but is charming, bright and welcoming. With unique decorative touches at every turn the cottage makes you feel at home. The information booklets were helpful and thorough. We would recommend this lovely cottage to anyone visiting the Marazion area of Cornwall. ...

My 6th stay at this property and second in a month! This time meeting a friend (we also met here last year!) I came down on the train, jumped in a taxi at the station and was there. Sainsbury’s delivered my week’s food a few hours later and I had all I needed for a great week. The cottage is comfortable and the garden has lovely views of the sea. I like the convenience of being in a small town, with the beach, cafes, buses and trains nearby. And back at the house it’s quiet and there’s a feeling of space. We had a lovely break. Went to the Mount, pootled round the galleries, walked the coast path to the Cabin at Porthcurnoe, visited Treban garden, the Tremenheere Sculpture Park, picnicked in the garden, sat in the cafe and watched the boats going over to the Mount, walked the dog on the beach and caught some amazing sunsets. We were blessed with beautiful weather as we’ve been on all of our visits to Marazion. It’s my happy place, and I booked for next year the second I got home! ...

How much do I love this property!? Well, this was my 4th stay at The Old School Room and I’m coming back again in 3 weeks.!! I love Marazion, and come down every year to visit relatives. My children absolutely love the garden and the upside down layout. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable. The beds are clean and we always get a good night’s sleep. We had wall to wall sunshine for our stay, and only used the car once. We went over to the Mount, magical, and walking the causeway just never gets old! Walked to The Cabin for lunch and a dip in the sea, went to the sculpture garden, mooched around the galleries. It was very quiet the week we were there and the kids loved the freedom of being able to pootle down to get an ice cream and go to the beach. We sat in the garden and watched the waves for hours. Next time I’m coming down by train and the easy transport links really do make this a very easy place for a non driver who loves train journeys and walking to visit! Can’t wait to come back (very!) soon. ...

Fabulous property. Loved the garden and the fact it has parking so close to the centre of Marazion! Hosts were helpful and friendly. We will be back!
