Mount View Horizon Safari Tent
2.2 miles NE of Penzance
Sleeps 6 | dog friendly
From £117 per night
Safari tent in Cornwall with a hot tub and use of a sauna: a spacious family-friendly retreat with breathtaking views of the ocean and the iconic St Michael's Mount.
Overview
Step Inside
The moment you step up onto the deck and get a glimpse through the canvas doors, you’ll see that Mount View Horizon is as special inside as it is out. In the open plan layout you’ll find rustic, country interiors and ample living space, including a comfy sofa and a wood-fired range, so you’ll be cosy and warm whatever the weather. The kitchen area features an electric hob, microwave and full-sized fridge with a small freezer - everything you need to prepare a picnic or a hearty meal to enjoy at the family-size dining table. There are two bedrooms (a double and a twin) as well as a charming double cabin bed, providing comfortable sleeping space for up to six. At the far end of the tent there’s a modern en suite shower room to freshen up after a day of exploring and wild swimming, with a heated towel rail for an extra little bit of luxury. The retreat is also kitted out with wifi.
Outdoors
Outside, there’s plenty of space for you to relax and for the children to play. Settle into a chair on the decking and enjoy the breathtaking views while you sip your morning coffee. Or lie back in the hammock and soak up some sunshine while the children let off steam in the play area, complete with trampoline, climbing frame, football goals and volleyball net. As the evening draws in and the sun starts to set, unwind in the hot tub and watch the sky turn shades of pink and orange or wander up the field for a soul-warming steam in the sauna (one-hour slots are bookable through the owner) or refreshing dip in the plunge barrel. And before bed, light up the fire pit, huddle round and toast marshmallows together in this magical setting under the stars.

We had a fantastic stay - the property exceeded expectations from the moment we arrived. It’s even better in person: really spacious and comfortable.
We were there to celebrate our twins’ eighth birthday, and it couldn’t have been a better setting. Unsurprisingly, the highlight for them was the hot tub, which got a serious amount of use across the weekend. It made the whole stay feel that bit more special.
David gave us a warm welcome on arrival and made sure we had everything we needed to settle in.
Overall, a faultless stay - well-equipped, comfortable, and ideal for a family break. We’d happily return.

This place is amazing . The journey from home was over 400 miles but worth every mile. The setting on the surrounding farm grounds are perfectly maintained and the view over to St Michael’s Mount is stunning. Tent is fully equipped with everything you could need and was very clean. Beds are very comfortable making for a great nights sleep with perfect darkness and quiet all around. Another thing to mention was the separate electric shower room with the most amazingly hot water not something you expect when “ Camping “…Sorry Glamping … David the owner introduced himself and came across as a very caring and genuine man. He provided us with local knowledge and even went over and above what could be expected by transporting us in his own vehicle for a day visit we had planned. The location is perfect for days out to many places of interest and amazing scenery. There is nothing to dislike about this Safari tent and the holiday it provided.

Absolutely fabulous, we had the most wonderful time and didn't want to leave! The view is just incredible, could have stayed forever in the hammock. Our host was very lovely and accommodating, there's everything there you need for a comfortable stay, they really have thought of everything, we had a lovely welcome basket with fresh eggs and other treats, plus fresh flowers around, such lovely little touches! Can't wait to come back again!

I spent 3 days Mount View Horizon Safari Tent with my two 13 year olds. We had a great time and fully recommend it. The tent was really well equipped and there was a welcome hamper when we arrived. The location is great and the hot tub really warm and clean. The local village has a great pub where we had Sunday lunch. We'd happily come back!

We had an amazing stay in Mount View Safari Tent for my 50th at the end of March. Our host David was a real gentleman & extremely helpful at all times. The pub in the village had a great atmosphere & the food was delicious! Marazion beach only a couple of miles to walk with dogs & family which was perfect. Just awesome would highly recommend to anyone! ??

It's a lovely spot, great views and a luxurious way to camp. but ultimately you are in a tent, so best done when it's warm.

Great accommodation with outstanding 180 views of coastline & st Michaels mount. David the host works hard to ensure you are perfectly happy with everything. Very thoughtful extras throughout the safari tent Inc flowers, plants, welcome basket, blankets, towels, toiletries, toilet tissue, tea, coffee, sugar, milk, orange juice, eggs, tin foil, kitchen sponges, tea towels, cleaning supplies and doggie toys, bowls and treats. There is also a play area at the rear of the tents with badminton, swings, slide, climbing frame and a goal. The only downside I found was that the mattresses were too soft. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area, especially good if you have dogs as there are plenty of fields around. We will be returning.

The location was excellent and the views were amazing from the safari tent. The site was located within travelling distance of all the attractions in the area we wanted to see.
The owners made us very welcome and couldn’t have asked for a better experience of glamping from the safari tent.

This was just a really perfect place to stay... clean, comfortable and peaceful, with the most wonderful and calming views over St Michael's Mount and Marazion. The welcome basket, flowers, and visit from the owner were great personal touches which were hugely appreciated. It was so difficult to tear ourselves away from such a beautiful place, and would go back in a heartbeat if we could!

It was a fantastic experience. The views were amazing, David the owner was lovely, so welcoming and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for him.
The tent was clean and cosy thanks to the wood burner. Every little detail had been thought of to make our stay memorable. On our arrival a basket of goodies was laid out for us, the fridge was stocked with milk, orange juice and eggs. There were jam jars of freshly cut flowers dotted around the tent. It was very thoughtful.
The hot tub was the icing on the cake. Amazing!

The Property and the Owners were absolutely amazing.
David made sure that my family (3 kids under 11 included) were more than comfortable throughout the stay.
The facilities and property were perfect, as is the location. the little touches like some scones and cream were sweet and welcoming.

The property was even better than expected. We had an amazing time and will definitely be returning. Dave and his family have an amazing place. Their care and attention to detail is second to none. They are incredibly hospitable as well.
Everything is accounted for and, if you do have any questions, Dave and his family are there to help. The tent sleeps six comfortably. The stove keeps it very nice and warm. The hot tub is perfect and the view from it could not been any better. We took our dog. He enjoyed it as much as we did. It was a safe / secure are for him. Our stay could not have been any better!

We had an absolutely fabulous holiday. The property was beautiful and had the most fantastic views both by day and night from the deck and the relaxing hot-tub which was perfect to ease the muscles after a long day. Really cosy at night with the stove lit and a glass of wine before tucking up in the cabin bed. David was a great host with help and ideas if you wanted them but not at all intrusive. There was a well stocked honesty summerhouse/shop which had all the basics and more plus a washing machine. All in all a wonderful holiday, totally relaxing in a quiet, spectacular spot and in a unique and very comfortable tent..... we'll be back soon for another dose of peace! Thank-you

From the moment we arrived we felt pure relaxation. It exceeded our expectations, so cosy, so clean and well presented. David and Amanda were so welcoming and had left us an amazing unexpected welcome basket. The star of the basket had to be the wonderful homemade scones- delicious. The view was to die for and the hot tub was the bit that made the whole holiday perfect. We decided while it is great to have sunny weather, which we did, it really didn't matter as we had the hot tub and a wonderful log burner to keep us cosy and relaxed. Cant wait to return. Thank You David and Amanda
