Set in a fantastic position overlooking St Michael’s Mount, this gorgeous ‘upside down’ cottage is just minutes from Marazion’s main beach and offers couples and their dogs the perfect place to call home while exploring the beaches and coast paths around Mounts Bay in West Cornwall.
Beautifully styled, airy and light-filled, the cottage which has recently been refurbished, feels surprisingly spacious for a one-bedroom property, with the open plan layout in the upstairs living area boasting vaulted ceilings and incredible views of both the bay and Mount. This is a lovely place for relaxation whether sharing a cooked breakfast together at the table or curled up on the sofa with a cup of tea. The small yet perfectly formed kitchen is well equipped for rustling up home cooked meals however if you’re partial to eating out, restaurants like The Godolphin and The King’s Arms (both of which are dog-friendly) are within easy reach by foot. Nutshell’s bright bedroom and contemporary bathroom can both be found on the ground floor where the ceilings are lower for a delightfully cosy atmosphere. The bedroom is a lovely space to unwind in as it too has sea views, with a comfortable small double bed allowing guests to drift off with ease.
One of the best-known landmarks in Cornwall, St Michael's Mount is a fascinating place which seems to rise from the sea and is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Marazion. This small tidal island sits just offshore, right in the middle of the bay so you can either wait for the tide to go out and walk your way across the causeway or make your way by boat of which there are three landing points on the mainland, Chapel Rock, Gwelva and Top Tieb. One of the county’s best loved stretches of coastline, west Cornwall is home to a bevy of beautiful beaches including those at Perranunthnoe, Sennen and Prussia coves, Carbis Bay and Porthcurno. However, if you’re looking for the best beaches to give your four-legged furbaby a run on at any time of the year, Marazion East Beach, Long Rock and slightly further afield at Porthkidney Sands, are excellent dog-friendly choices.

In a Nutshell
Beautiful location, high speck of equipment perfect for a relaxing stay. Small flat but when your out and about most of the day its adequate for relaxing in the evening

Hi Chris, thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are pleased to hear you had a lovely stay and enjoyed the location. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again one day. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team.
What sold me was the view, and that was no lie, it was gorgeous.The property owner left a great book of instructions on appliances, except washer/dryer. Still didn't quite master that one. Upon arrival, we couldn't get the TV to work, that took a couple of days with communications between the rental property management and the person who was to be a contact. Unfortunately, our phone carrier was useless to contact the rental contact in town; so maybe a text messaging to contact that person? I will say that if you are a tall person, as is my husband, 6ft 6 inches, this place can be a challenge. The lower part of the rental in quite low. Also, glad to have the laundry facility, but to get to it, the step up to the washer is quite treacherous. I felt I was mountain climbing each time I had to go in or out. I would suggest some sort of an extra step be added.Overall, a beautiful place to stay and a lovely town.

Hi Tamara. Thanks so much for your thoughtful review. We're really pleased the view lived up to expectations and that you enjoyed your time in town!

We’ll explore options with the owner to ensure that Nutshell is the very best it can be. It’s lovely to hear you found the place beautiful overall, and we hope to welcome you back again! All the best.

Very Disappointed
When we arrived property was dirty not been cleaned. First impression awful from outside. Nutshell is a very good name as it was so tiny felt it was cruel to put " Dog Friendly " as no room no garden horrendous stairs in the property. The wet room far to small the flush on the toilet was sooo very loud probably could be heard on St Michael's Mount!! Sadly a most disappointing place to stay definitely would not recommend.

Hi Wendy, thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are so sorry to hear of the bad experience you encountered on your arrival. We have been in contact with the housekeeping team and whilst they have apologised for this oversight, they have confirmed that a team did go in and get the property ready for you as soon as they were advised.
We do not advertise Nutshell as having any outside space, so we are sorry to read that you were expecting there to be.
We have not received any other complaints about the noise from the toilet. It is a Saniflo electric toilet specifically designed for the bathroom, however we have let the owners know about your feedback and they have asked us to thank you for taking the time to let us know.
Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team.
