Stunning Family Holiday Property
For the Summer holiday period from mid July until the beginning of September we switch from being a B&B to offer the whole of Britannia House for rent as a fabulous 4 STAR GOLD self catering property sleeping 6 adults in comfort. All 2022 Self-Catering weeks have now been taken, and we are already taking bookings for Summer 2023.
Britannia House is a stunning Victorian property set in the heart of the quaint seaside town of Marazion, gateway to the iconic island castle of St Michaels Mount and an ideal base from which to discover the wonders of West Cornwall. Set over three floors retaining many period features and appointed to a very high standard, Britannia House offers luxurious holiday accommodation perfect for romantic couples or a family of six.
Wake up to the sounds of the seaside and the sunlight streaming into the amazing ‘Upper Deck’ master en-suite bedroom which occupies the entire top floor of Britannia House and has panoramic sea views. There are another two bedrooms, the ‘Lower Deck’ has sea views and two single beds that zip together to form a super king bed, and another bedroom with a king size bed.
The first floor living room with gas ‘wood burning stove’ is ideal for cosy nights in whilst enjoying fabulous sea views. The newly fitted bespoke handmade kitchen is a dream for budding chefs with a comprehensive collection of cookery books to inspire and delight. To the rear is a secure courtyard and storeroom ideal for keeping your bicycle or push chairs and for drying wet suits.
Dine outside on the raised sun deck with far reaching sea views of St Michaels Mount. Surely the perfect place to relax and soak up the sun or enjoy an evening glass of your favourite tipple after a hard day on the beach.

“What a wonderful week we had staying in your beautiful house. All the little touches were very appreciated. The weather was amazing, we were on the beach every day! Highlights are Porthcurno Cove Beach & we got tickets for the Minack Theatre - amazing! We visited St Michaels Mount, incredible views, and lovely St Ives and Mousehole. We really don’t want to leave here, it’s a special place. We also loved the roof terrace, what an unbelievable view. We feel lucky we are able to stay here. Thank you so much - We will be back!
August 2021.
