  • "We loved our stay at Rockhopper Cottage."

    It was spacious, sparkling clean, the kitchen was very well equipped and the beds extremely comfy. We also enjoyed the generous welcome pack complete with clotted cream. We were there in a damp spring but in better weather the outside patio would be delightful. It’s just a few minutes walk to the beautiful beach and many other local walks.

    Thank you so much for your feedback - we are glad you had a great time despite the weather ! Property Owner

About the location

PRAA SANDS

Marazion 4.5 miles ; Helston 6 miles ; Porthleven 5 miles

The village of Praa Sands sits on the south coast in between Helston and Marazion. Praa Sands is known for its mile-long sandy beach and excellent surfing conditions. There is a bar/restaurant overlooking the beach – the perfect spot for lunch with a view or sunset drinks. Praa Sands is also home to a Golf and Country Club, from where the most wonderful sea vista can be enjoyed whilst you play. Just inland from the beach is Pengersick Castle, the tower of which dates back to the 16th century. It is said that Pengersick is haunted, and that the ghost of a monk has been seen wandering the grounds! The house at Pengersick is rumoured to be the birth place of John Carter, the self styled King of Prussia and a tunnel which leads from the house to the beach was apparently once used by smugglers. There are supermarkets and other retail stores in Penzance (8 miles) and Helston (6 miles).
