Special Offers
Petra Holiday Apartments are in The Square, Marazion, within a Grade II listed building in the centre of this traditional Cornish market town – one of the oldest chartered towns in Britain. From the front door it is a one-minute walk to the causeway that leads across to the internationally famous St Michael’s Mount, uncovered at low tide, with ferry boats running when the tide is in.
Everything is a short, level walk away: the long sandy Marazion beach, the chemist, cash machine, general stores, post office, bakery, cafés, pubs, art galleries and antique shop. Choose Petra Apartment 1, with two bedrooms for families and friends, or Petra Apartment 2, a romantic hideaway for two with a four-poster bed.
A spacious two-bedroom first-floor apartment. A wide hall leads to the bedrooms and bathroom, and the bright lounge/dining room – with a four-seater dining table, comfortable sofa and TV – opens into a well-equipped kitchen with a fantastic view from the window over St Michael’s Mount.
The master bedroom has a king-size bed and the second bedroom two single beds, so it suits families, couples travelling together or friends.
Set within a Grade II listed Victorian building in The Square, the apartment has been refurbished with comfortable, contemporary furnishings while keeping its period character – tall sash windows fill the rooms with light and frame the views of Mount’s Bay. Watching the tide cover the causeway from the kitchen window is one of the simple pleasures of a stay here.
Everything you need is close at hand: Marazion beach is just 50 metres away, the shops, cafés and pubs of the town are on the doorstep, and the causeway to St Michael’s Mount is a one-minute walk. Linen is supplied and the apartment is open all year with a Saturday changeover, making it an easy base for a summer beach holiday or a quiet winter break.

Visit our websiteSt Michael’s Mount rises from Mount’s Bay just across the sands from Petra – a tidal island crowned by a medieval castle and church, home to the St Aubyn family and cared for by the National Trust. At low tide you can walk across the ancient cobbled causeway from Marazion beach; when the tide is in, small boats ferry visitors across from the beach.
Marazion itself is a charming small town of galleries, cafés and pubs. Its long sandy beach is popular with families, swimmers, windsurfers and kitesurfers, and just behind the town is the RSPB’s Marazion Marsh nature reserve, with its reedbeds, wildfowl and famous winter starling murmurations.
The Mount has a history and legend all of its own. Tradition says the giant Cormoran once lived on the island, and in the Middle Ages it was home to a Benedictine priory linked to its French twin, Mont-Saint-Michel. Today visitors climb the steep pilgrims’ path to the castle, explore the little harbour village at its foot and, in season, wander the remarkable terraced gardens, where subtropical plants flourish on the granite slopes above the sea – part of the same granite that shapes much of West Cornwall’s landscape.
Marazion has been a trading town for centuries – its name is thought to come from the Cornish for ‘market’, and it is often described as one of the oldest chartered towns in Britain. Its streets of granite cottages and independent galleries are lovely to explore on foot, and the view of the Mount changes all day long, from misty mornings and tide-washed causeways to evenings when the light fades across Mount’s Bay. Staying right in the town at Petra means you can enjoy it all at your own pace, long after the day visitors have gone home.
The South West Coast Path runs east from the town past the sandy cove at Perranuthnoe to Prussia Cove and Praa Sands, and west along the bay to Long Rock and Penzance.
