About this property
Showcasing big views of St Michael’s Mount and the sparkling ocean surrounding Mounts Bay, this stylish, spacious Marazion homestay offers an idyllic coastal escape just a short stroll from the beach. Designed for families, friends and special celebration gatherings by the sea, the property blends contemporary comfort with the charm of Cornwall’s most iconic shoreline.
Marazion itself is a vibrant seaside resort filled with colourful galleries, craft shops, independent eateries, traditional inns and welcoming cafés. Hagar Vor enjoys an elevated position within easy walking distance of the town’s sunny centre, where a sweeping sandy beach and calm waters create ideal conditions for boating, paddleboarding and sailing.
The world famous St Michael’s Mount is a must visit attraction, accessible by the little ferry or via the historic cobbled causeway at low tide. Enjoy lunch or coffee on the terrace of The Godolphin Arms and soak up spectacular panoramic views across the bay to the castle topped island. Several more beautiful sandy beaches lie within a short drive, including Perranuthnoe, Porthcurno and Sennen, each offering their own slice of Cornwall’s dramatic coastline.
The nearby market town of Penzance sits just a couple of miles away along the South West Coast Path, while the postcard perfect art haven of St Ives is less than a ten mile drive. For unforgettable coastal culture, the open air Minack Theatre, carved into the granite cliffs, provides an extraordinary backdrop for theatre and live music, although do make sure you pre book. Nature lovers and ramblers will relish the surrounding coastal walks, with abundant wildlife to spot on the RSPB Nature Reserve at Marazion Marsh.
Inside, Hagar Vor offers beautifully presented, family sized accommodation. The serene sitting room frames mesmerising sea views, and the generous, sparkling kitchen with dining area provides a wonderful space for shared meals and relaxed gatherings. After sandy adventures and dips in the ocean, the conveniently located ground floor wet room is perfect for washing off beach gear and salty toes.
Upstairs, four bedrooms, each with their own TV for cosy duvet days, promise a peaceful night’s sleep, with two rooms boasting breathtaking views across Mounts Bay. The immaculate family bathroom offers the choice of a refreshing shower or a luxurious soak. Outside, the enclosed rear garden features a patio ideal for alfresco dining and blue sky drinks, while the front provides ample parking and a spacious area for children to enjoy ball games.

George
It's a really nice house which has clearly had a lot of money spent on it. The house was clean and very comfortable and in a good location close to the centre of Marazion.. The property was advertised as being suitable for 8 people.Our party was 5 adults which was fine but I think 8 adults would be a bit of a squeeze. We were pleased with the thoughtful touches such as milk, bread and eggs being supplied. An enhancement in this area would be for clingfilm and aluminium to be supplied. We would recommend Hagar Vor to anyone looking for a holiday cottage in the area.

There was a much appreciated welcome pack and a huge table in the kitchen where we could all eat comfortably. The bedrooms were good sizes and everywhere was very clean. Highly recommend this property.
