Connected by a causeway to the shore at Marazion is the National Trust’s stunningly beautiful St Michael’s Mount with its hilltop castle and Mediterranean gardens. Walk across at low water and take one of the ferry boats back when the tide is up. Penzance with its winding streets, shops, clubs, restaurants and harbour is a must as it is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Isles of Scilly as well as being the harbor.

The Shepherds hut was so cozy especially with the stormy weather we were having in January. We spent 7 nights here and we didnât want it to end. There was a wooden shelter outside with lovely lights around which we would sit during the evening. The location was so good for touring a lovely part of Cornwall.The Shepherds hut was very clean with a very comfortable bed.We hope to return again in the near future.

Very remote but once we got our bearings was a delight. Being without phone signal and WiFi was great, no pressures from home, very quite, private and secluded, if this is what you want you're in for a treat. The Shepard's hut was very clean, well thought out with everything you need. Comfy and compact. Lovely option of a fire fuelled hot tub and in dry sunny weather outside seating. We have a lovely few days away visiting all the sights of Penzance, St Ives and all the little villages tucked away, Marazion and St Michaels Mount being our main focus. 4 nights weren't really long enough but really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

The way the site has been set out, nestled in a little opening in the trees and surrounded by huge bolders and fox gloves is really special. Everything was very clean and looks very new still. Only a few miles from penzance and quite close to St Ives. We will definitely go back again.
