A comfortable and clean cottage which was well equipped. The owner was on hand with any queries and responded quickly. A pleasant mile walk to Carbis Bay station and the beach.

Little Trevarrack is the perfect place to stay for a couple looking to explore this area of Cornwall. We really appreciated the great off road parking and easy access to both the north and south coastlines. Highlights of our stay included walking the causeway to St Michael’s Mount at Marazion and glimpsing a basking shark off Porthmeor Beach at St Ives.
