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 closeyou 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

    Parking lot is tight, location is good and the town is delightful

    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.

    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 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.

    Perfect for our stay. Fabulous location and well-furnished. Lovely welcome gifts of Cornish produce were very appreciated. We enjoyed contributing to the painted stones collection!

    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

    Great location and great place to stay, just parked the car and walked or used the fantastic bus service. Tucked away and private.

    This is a well equipped but quite small property, suitable for a couple with small children at the best, but ideal for us as a couple. Bed is very comfortable, as is the sofa and all furnishings are nice, although the hanging space in the wardrobe, is only for tall people ? oh and television could do with an upgrade. Overall we like the accommodation. The biggest flaw for us was the property is actually backing on to a pub garden, which had an outdoor screen with the football on it most evenings, we were there during the Euros, and also live music; as we are not football fans, or fans of heavy metal, it was a bit of a problem at times. Parking was also a bit of an issue, as you have to reverse into a narrow lane, that is off a busy road, this involves stopping the traffic at times, as it’s tricky reversing round the bins at the entrance to the lane, once navigated past the neighbours car, the parking space itself is ample. I now understand why previous reviews say they use public transport and leave the car at home!! I like the overall geographic position of this cottage, but I’m not sure I would stay here again, because of the parking and public house issues.

    Great for walks. Can leave vehicle and get about easily if you wish too. Ideal for couple space wise. Train line didn’t cause any issues for us.
