About this property
Marazion 1.6 miles.
A charming getaway awaits you at Kernyk Cottage, a characterful terrace cottage resting amidst the idyllic village of Perranuthnoe that lies between the charming town of Marazion and the golden sands of Praa Sands.
Within striking distance of a glorious beach, as well as the famous South West Coastal Path, it makes an exceptional base for a holiday with your partner or for a small family.
Kernyk’s front has recently been lime-rendered back to its original charm. Entering through the front door into a newly refurbished open-plan lounge and dining area, tastefully decorated in a modern, yet cottagey feel. The living room has a working wood fireplace and brand new radiators keep the cottage warm through cooler seasons.
The dining area has a new kitchen with sliding patio doors allowing easy access to a quiet and sheltered sun trap to the rear, perfect for alfresco dining or just relaxing with good company and a glass (or two) of wine.
Sleep is sure to come easy in the master bedroom, with its king size bed, made up with white linen sheets.
The single bedroom offers a comfortable space for an additional guest to catch their rest.
The cottage is located in the secluded village of Perranuthnoe, with the Victoria Inn (one of Cornwall’s oldest inns) a mere 100 yards from the front door. A stroll down towards the beach, you will pass an art gallery and gift shop, the Peppercorn Café and the well frequented Cabin beach café.
Perranuthnoe has access to the South West Coastal Path with the immediate coast an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Views of St Michael’s Mount are a short, easy walk to the west, with Cudden Point and Prussia Cove to the east.
Rosudgeonis a small village resting close to Perranuthnoe and set inland between Penzance and Praa Sands. This small village plays host to a convenient village store and a pub, which is well known for its locally-sourced food. From here, you can explore the South West Coast Path, making it ideal for beach lovers and walkers, whilst nearby is Penzance, acting as a gateway to West Cornwall, which is home to the famous Minack Theatre, Land's End and sea and air links to the Isles of Scilly.

A perfect base to explore the South West Coast to places like Marazion , Penzance , Pra Sands and Porthleven. We really couldnât fault this little gem of a place and if we were to find fault it was only the fact that we both would have liked two sofas to stretch our legs after a day of walking . By no means is this a criticism , Itâs just our personal preference we look for in accommodation as we both canât sit for periods of time due to back problems so have to lie down in the evenings . However, having said this we were aware from the photos that there was a small 2 seater sofa and a small chair/sofa but we thought we would give it a go.

Whilst the downstairs was very modern, the exterior and upstairs still held the character of a cosy cottage. The kitchen is very well equipped, and there is lovely patio furniture to enjoy the garden. If needed there is a rotary washing line at the top of the garden. The garden attracts a wealth of birds and other wildlife. The main bedroom is very spacious with ample storage, in both wardrobes and chest of drawers. There must be something very special with the bed as we had the best weeks sleep in months, despite it being the middle of the heatwave - our sleep wasn't impacted. The property is perfectly situated for the beach and the South West Coastal Pathway - we took a beautiful stroll (I have arthritis in knees but didn't let that stop me - just needed my walking tick / pole at times) along the path and were rewarded with seeing a pod of 6 dolphins and a seal. We also enjoyed time on the beach which was very quiet, clean and very picturesque. It was also great to not have to travel far (never drove more than 30 mins) for days out, the property is close to so much, St Michael's Mount was a real highlight and an achievement to walk up to the top of the castle. There was also a lovely welcome pack, with biscuits, sugar, coffee, tea bags, pint of milk, and cleaning products. We'd highly recommend this property to family and friends. The only things we feel could be improved was there was limited information about the local area, such as walking routes, closes GP, how to use the fire, wifi password (found on the router) etc, although there was information about the bins. We just found it unusual for there to be no welcome folder - we did contact Sykes customer services and on the second time of asking they provided us with some information which was helpful. Overall this was an amazing property in a beautiful location.

The newly re-furbed kitchen was lovely and the bedroom was absolutely massive. The main negative was the fact the living room was quite uncomfortable. We were out every day, but in the evenings the sofa was not comfy at all for 2 adults to sit and relax on.
