Is The Gew Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families
Apartment 1 is designed as an adult retreat for couples and is not suitable for children. The property sleeps only 2 guests in one double bedroom with no additional sleeping arrangements available. The sophisticated interior and coastal location make this an ideal romantic escape rather than a family-friendly option. Families with children would be better suited to larger properties with multiple bedrooms and child-friendly facilities.
Groups Will Love...
The spectacular sea views from Apartment 1 create an unforgettable setting for romantic celebrations and special occasions. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic vistas across St Ives Bay, whilst the contemporary interior provides a sophisticated backdrop for anniversaries or milestone celebrations. The proximity to Marazion's restaurants means you can easily book special meals out, then return to watch the sunset over St Michael's Mount from your private living space. The peaceful location ensures complete privacy for couples.
Pet Friendly
Apartment 1 does not accept pets of any kind. The property maintains a strict no-pets policy to ensure the accommodation remains suitable for guests with allergies or sensitivities. This policy helps maintain the high standard of cleanliness and luxury finish throughout the apartment. If you're travelling with a dog or other pet, you'll need to consider alternative accommodation in the Marazion area that specifically welcomes animals. Many other Cornwall properties do accept pets.
