    “Hi the flat was in a good position for us on the edge of Marazion a short walk for a night out and food.”

    The downside was in the dark the step's up to the flat which had a light on a sensor to start with then the light stopped working which then made the step's tricky to negotiate until the light at the top came on. The bed was worn out and the sofa has seen better day's but on the whole it was a good base to have a holiday I've stayed in worse and I've stayed in better. WE HAD A REALLY NICE HOLIDAY AND WOULD GIVE IT 10/10 EXCEPT FOR THE BED !!!

    Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Mackerel Sky. We are pleased that you made the most of the excellent location and that you “would give it (the property) 10/10 except for the bed”. We fully appreciate that comfort is different for different people, but it’s a shame that you weren’t comfortable at Mackerel Sky. All other reviews this year have rated comfort at 100% , with the word ‘comfortable’ frequently used by guests in their reviews. We were sorry to learn that you didn’t find the property’s outside lighting to be helpful. As you explain that the light at the top of the stairs did in fact come on, when the lighting at the foot of the stairs was less reliable, it would seem that the sensor for Mackerel Sky’s outside light - the one at the top of the stairs - did in fact work. The bottom of the stairs is lit by a neighbouring property’s light. It might well have been that the residents there had switched it off to avoid light disturbance in one of their bedrooms. However, if you had let us know about this inconvenience, we could have investigated to see if there was something we could do to help. Property Owner

The property

This highly desirable boutique style first floor apartment offers a romantic break with comfortable, light, spacious accommodation for two.

Its location is simply perfect with the beautiful golden sands of Mount's Bay and the iconic island of St Michael's Mount moments away, giving tempting sea glimpses from two rooms.

Friendly pubs, great eateries, fine galleries and curio shops are a five minute walk away.

Enjoy a refreshing drink or delicious food at the Godolphin Arms; watch the sun go down from the beach terrace or relax with a coffee beside their wood burner in cooler months after a brisk walk across the beach.

Mackerel Sky provides a stunning base from which to explore the striking beauty and rich history of this part of Cornwall, being equidistant from the Lizard and Lands End.

Long sandy beaches, offering a range of watersports, and picturesque, hidden coves are within walking distance or, further afield, easily reached by car.

St Ives, is a fifteen minute drive.

Penzance with its rail links and with sea links to the Isles of Scilly, its numerous galleries and independent shops, is a five minute drive.

Its neighbour Newlyn, boasting the biggest fishing harbour in England and the quaint fishing village of Mousehole are also within easy reach.

The Minack open air theatre, with its spectacular cliff-top location, is also well worth a visit. Quality furnishings and high, pitched ceilings, coupled with white walls and carefully selected artwork combine to create a stylish, contemporary living space.

The smart kitchen is extremely well equipped with all you could possibly need for your self catering break.

The light and airy bedroom, with pristine white décor, is punctuated with bold splashes of colour, creating a bright and refreshing atmosphere.

After a sunshine filled day by the sea enjoy an invigorating shower in the immaculate, contemporary shower room.

Mackerel Sky really does have all you need for a magical Cornish holiday.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
