Detached comfortable granite cottage, 5 minute walk to the beach - Dogs Welcome

Little Rock is located in the village of Longrock which is set between Penzance and Marazion. A quiet village which belies the fact that it nestles right on Mounts Bay and has all the joys of the beach without the hustle and bustle (and parking problems) of Marazion. Little Rock, in its past life was a lobster pot barn and has been renovated to a high standard - with quality and comfort being our aim. Sat in the garden you can hear the waves lapping when the tide is in - that is how close you are to the beach! The small courtyard (totally enclosed) has quality table and chairs and planters.

At the end of the drive are bus stops with excellent bus service for all local areas. St Ives buses are every half an hour and take 25 minutes. Porthleven is around 35 minutes by bus. The property is also situated next to the South West Coastal path, near a nature reserve.

Longrock is on Mounts Bay, and the beach is a popular beach for horse riding and wind surfing. St Michaels Mount is in walking distance either along the beach or via the road.

The property itself is very well equipped, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's is centrally heated and also has a log burner for the colder months. There is a separate laundry room with washer and tumble dryer.

The living space is comfortable and cozy, with a vaulted ceiling with lots of natural light.

The master bedroom is large, light and airy with ensuite bathroom.

There is a 2nd bedroom with bunk beds.

There is a single line train track next to the beach, access is 5 minutes walk via the level crossing

Great base

Little rock was a great base for us whilst visiting the area to see family, it has everything we needed. The only issues were parking access, this is extremely tight due to parking or other cottages and a redundant gate post.

A really high spec cottage in an ideal spot for the buses (we didn't use our car at all once we'd arrived). Great pub next door, handy for the beach and a nice stroll to Penzance or Marazion.

Lovely comfy cottage that whilst being in the village with all the conveniences within walking distance, still has the feeling of being remote. Lovely to hear the sound of the sea! It is close to the train track but that give us an issue as the trains could only be heard and not seen. Cleaning is done by an agency and after a busy summer season the property would benefit from a good deep clean. Generally clean though. Nice long beach walks close by, now all dog friendly. Tehidy not far for lovely off lead woodland walks.

Little Rock

Enjoyed our 4 night stay, location was very good. Close to beach and local amenities. On the downside parking is extremely tight and difficult to access in and out Bed could be more comfy so soft, need bigger bath towels and bathroom very tight if you are a larger person due to door position we were ok but others might struggle

Little Rock

Excellent property which is ideally placed as a base to visit SW Cornwall. The view of St Michaels Mount from the beach is beautiful and the walk to Marazion and or Penzance along the beach/path is well worthwhile. The property is very comfortable and warm and tastefully decorated making our 5 night stay perfect.

Perfect home from home

Would recommend Little Rock to anyone with a small family who want to explore west Cornwall and have a great base. Just outside Penzance so not too busy but close to everything and good road links to everywhere. We were able to cook our own meals and do laundry which was really helpful being there for a whole week.

Lovely cosy little place with a lovely feel and had everything we needed. Bed and sofa were very comfy, bunk beds were a bit tight for an adult and the only bathroom is off of the main bedroom so more suited to a family than three adults. Very easy to find and parking was fine even in our truck (reverse in). It was a good base but walking from there was a bit limited due to having to cross A roads.

A lovely coastal-themed property superbly located

The property is very thoughtfully decorated and furnished with everything you could possibly need. Even dog bowls and welcome treats awakened our arrival, as well as a lovely welcome package. The property was spotless and after shielding for over a year, we felt safe being there. We will definitely book another trip. It’s so well located for beautiful beaches and visits to little coves and bays and there were lovely beach cafes open too! A fabulous short break in a stunning part of Cornwall.

Sweet Retreat

A relaxing few days is what we needed and what we got. The cottage was a little bit smaller than anticipated but we were fortunate enough to spend most of our time on Long rock beach. The property is well appointed and has everything you need for a short break, for us the bed was a little cramped being used to a king size bed and parking not easy with a SUV. However, the lovely welcome basket is both thoughtful and generous and this sweet cottage was all we needed to relax.

Little Rock

On arrival at this property, we found it exactly as described and very clean and warm. There is everything you could possibly need in this cottage and a completely secure garden area for our dog. The only disappointment for us was the rain and wind all week, which has nothing to do with the property, but in hindsight maybe booking in March wasn't the best time to enjoy Cornwall. However I would absolutely recommend Little Rock cottage for a holiday rental.

A needed break

Cottage was lovely. Everything you needed. Would be nice to have welcome basket of logs for wood burner. Had to sleep in bunk bed as king bed far to soft for me. Hubby was okay though. Parking was difficult but we somehow managed. Both elderly but all we needed was at the cottage. It was a base for us to go to different places.
