Named for the ancient Cornish Hundreds (regions within the county) each room has a different aspect, and is furnished in differing styles. Some are quite grand, some are more modest perhaps - it once depended on whether you were gentry, or whether you were the scullery maid where you slept! Now, with comfort important in every room, it just depends on your particular family hierarchy, or who has the longest legs and can run the fastest to bag the bayview rooms for themselves!

Fully ensuite, each unique room is ready and waiting for you - even the bed-linen is special. Laundered here, and hung out to dry in the sunny breezes found on this Cornish cliff-top, you can smell the difference when you snuggle down at night.

Cosy single room on the first floor overlooking the front of the house, this room is fully ensuite with a bath & shower, WC and handbasin. It was once the bathroom for this family home - large, (chilly) and fitted out with a decorated brass and copper boiler, it was the first indoor bathroom in Marazion. Unique in the town, it always attracted visitors, although not when in use, we hope! Too soon, it lost it’s interest with the arrival of clay sanitary ware and, between the wars, the boiler was dumped down a local shaft, never to be marvelled at again!










 

 

 

 

 



This is a double room which looks out over the front of the house - not as stunning a view as the rooms that look out over the bay, so we’ve compensated for that by putting in a real four-poster bed. It’s ‘real’ because the drapes are generous and they really work. When the house was first occupied this was a Guest bedroom, but in Victoria’s day there would have been no Chaplin-tiled bathroom with shower, WC and handbasin - just a washstand in the corner and a jug of half-hearted tepid water delivered to the door by a maid only warm enough to say "Mornin’ Ma’am" and nothing more!


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Named for Hazelmary’s school house which wore purple colours, this double room is furnished in a little purple and a lot of lilac. It overlooks the Glebe Rocks out at sea, and some countryside towards Venton. It was the Gentleman’s Dressing Room attached to the Master Bedroom, where ‘Sir’ would retire rather than disturb his wife; perhaps after a late and smoky Masonic supper. See if you can spot the change in levels in the coving, which occurred after a recent earthquake, but don’t worry - with foundations that go deep onto granite bedrock, and walls more than three feet thick in places, this house isn’t going anywhere! The room has an ensuite bathroom with shower, WC and handbasin.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



This is the Master Bedroom which overlooks Mounts Bay. Now with twin beds, and it’s own bathroom with shower, WC and handbasin, it’s smaller than its original size. Decorated in gold and white and with plenty of fitted wardrobes, it still looks gracious and cheerful. Use the chair in the window to just sit and drink in the view spread before you - water stretching away to Spain, a beautiful island straight out of a favourite fairytale and our lawns and Victorian vegetable garden at your feet.





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Furnished in pink and cream, this was always the room saved for the very best of Guests! It looks directly towards the island across the waters of Mounts Bay. At night, the twinkling lights of Penzance are spread out like orange gems sparkling all along the bay. Leave your curtains open - after all, no one can see in - so that you can lie in bed and go to sleep watching the distant lights, then awake to daylight and the stunning view of St. Michael’s Mount at dawn. This is a double room with a half-tester bed, ensuite with shower, WC and handbasin, and just a big enough room to have a small seating area for two.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


‘Furnished in Royal blue, orange and white, this twin-bedded room on the second floor has a large walk-in dormer window. From here, we can see Venton Headland, the farm and the waters around the Glebe Rocks. We’re in a special part of the house now - the maids’ bedroom - special because no one came here apart from the girls with their cares and complaints, their stories and dreams, their whispers and their hopes - all still lingering amongst the beams waiting for you to lay here and guess where their nightly tales to each other took them. The room has an ensuite shower, WC and handbasin.’


 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Ready to knock on the wall if the gentle drone of their voices rose too high, was Ellen the cook. In her day, the window was tiny, but now the dormer looking over fields and ocean is fitted with a huge window seat. Use the step-up underneath to climb up with a coffee and a good book in hand. Once there, just sit awhile, enjoy the view, browse your book and be thankful for the very quiet of it all. Furnished in pale blue, this cottage-style bedroom at the top of the house, ensuite with shower, WC and handbasin, is worth the trek! Just remember poor Ellen climbing those stairs before you, every weary night, and be glad you’re holiday!
