Safari tent in Cornwall with a hot tub and use of a sauna: a luxury, family-friendly haven with idyllic views of the ocean and St Michael's Mount.

Overview

Set in a stunning wildflower meadow in the Cornish countryside, Mount View Sunrise is a spacious safari tent with breathtaking panoramic views out to sea and the iconic St Michael’s Mount. Nearby, there are sandy beaches, hidden coves and enchanting woodlands to discover. And when you’re done exploring, head back to your tent to snooze in the hammocks, toast marshmallows on the firepit at sunset and stargaze from your own private hot tub.

Step Inside

From the moment you arrive you’ll see that Mount View Sunrise is a tranquil, inviting space for your whole family. The open plan layout has rustic wooden interiors and ample living space, including a large dining table, comfy sofa and a wood-fired range, so you’ll be cosy and warm whatever the time of year. You’ll find everything you need to prepare a family meal in the well-thought-out kitchen area - an electric hob, microwave and full-sized fridge with a small freezer. There are two bedrooms (a double and a twin) as well as a quaint double cabin bed, providing sleeping space for up to six. And at the far end of the tent you’ll find a modern en suite shower room with a heated towel rail, so freshening up after a day at the beach is that little bit more luxurious.The retreat also has wifi ready for you to plan those days of adventures.

Outdoors

Mount View Sunrise’s outside space is just as special and spacious. Relax with a good book in the hammock or watch the sunrise over the ocean as you eat breakfast out on the decking. While you enjoy the peace, the children will be happy in the play area, complete with climbing frame, football goals, volleyball net and trampoline. For an utterly decadent moment, book a one-hour slot in the onsite sauna where you can bask in the health benefits of steam or plunge into the cold water barrel for a refreshing dip. Your time outdoors doesn’t have to end when the sun goes down either - sinking into the hot tub or lighting up the fire pit is more fun under the stars! Dogs are welcome, so they can join the family adventure at Mount View Sunrise too.

Explore

The west of Cornwall is a truly magical place to stay. The sandy shores of Marazion beach are close by for swimming, sunbathing and sandcastle-building. Take a stroll across the quay to St Michael's Mount. Stooped in history this iconic island castle is one of the most famous landmarks in Cornwall.

Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens are only a ten-minute walk away. Explore 22 acres of gardens and world-renowned art, discover the onsite shop stocked full of crafts from local creatives and refresh at the amazing restaurant.

For those who love surfing, Sennen Cove and Gwithian aren't far away. The gorgeous coastline around Porthcurno is worth and wonder and why not book to see a show at The Minack Theater? The Art Deco lido in Penzance has been newly restored and is idyllic for a dip throughout the year, with their new thermal pool! For walkers, explore the St Michael's Way footpath and to finish the day, visit the charming local pub which is only a short stroll away. The White Hart offers food, drink and a warm welcome.

For shoppers, you can't beat St Ives, with its winding streets and great range of boutiques and eateries, while the quaint fishing village of Mousehole, home to excellent galleries, restaurants and pubs, is only a short drive away to.

And finally, for the adventure seekers, why not take the ferry from Penzance and spend a day exploring the amazing Isles of Scilly? Mount View Retreat really is in the perfect location for exploring the very best of the west of Cornwall!

We really enjoyed our stay. The view was amazing and the area was peaceful and charming. The tent had everything we needed — nothing was missing. The jacuzzi and sauna were great extras that made our stay even more enjoyable. There’s a lovely pub nearby with good food, and the nearest beach is less than a 10-minute drive away, so everything is within easy reach. Thank you to David for the warm welcome and the gift of snacks and local cider. Highly recommended!

We thought the safari tent, the location and the views were just amazing. David was a great host, the place was easy to find, exceptionally clean and well equipped and peaceful. Watching sunrises on the verandah and sunsets in the hot tub was a huge bonus and to be 5 mins drive from the beach was great too. We really couldnt have had a lovelier stay.....in fact we didnt want to leave. 5 stars.

We had a wonderful stay at the Mount View Sunrise Safari Tent! The location and the view cannot be beaten and we spent much of the holiday sat on the decking (or in the hot tub!) just looking at the amazing panoramic view. The tent itself was spacious, warm, clean and comfortable and well equipped with everything we could have needed (and more!) for a week's holiday. The outside space was beautifully well kept and perfect for the kids to run around in, with a football goal, swings, trampoline and badminton net. A perfect glamping retreat (where you feel like you're actually staying in a house, just with canvas walls surrounded by beautiful outdoor space all around!).

Sunrise Glamping has a fantastic location, you are only amongst 3 other lodges. All have privacy and wonderful hot tubs. The view of St. Michaels Mount just a delight especially when in hot tub. It is a high location so can be windy remembering safari tents are canvas. But if nice weather this is a fabulous camping stay.

We loved our time at Mount View. The view is amazing, especially when enjoyed from the hot tub. The hosts were great and the freedom for our daughter to run around and enjoy herself on the trampoline, swings and with the football goal was brilliant.

Great stay at a lovely location! Amazing view to wake up to each morning. What a treat - a hot tub for the cooler days! So many things to see and do. We enjoyed seal watching at the Lizard, followed by a lovely lunch at Britain’s Most Southernly Cafe. Also the Minack theatre is worth a visit. In the local vicinity, we would recommend the Tremenheere sculptured gardens, and a trip to Marizon to Philps Pastie shop and Rubys Fudge Shop. Also the White Hart is a must for good food and a warm welcome.

Thank you to farm owner David for providing such a beautiful location for our first glamping experience!

Would highly recommend a stay at this stunning place. It's as beautiful and comfortable as described/pictured and is extremely well-kept. Plus, all the little details and thought that the owners put into the property make Mount View Sunrise Safari Tent feel like a home away from home. A genuinely fantastic experience.

This is an amazing place. The location is great, the views are wonderful. The tent was fabulous, it had everything you could possibly need and was so clean. Everything was very high standard. I was with my 66 year old mum and 6 month old baby and we all loved our stay! We had mixed weather, strong winds, cold evenings and sunshine and the tent was great throughout. The log burning stove and electric radiators kept us warm when we needed them. It was a very relaxing trip and David is the perfect host. He clearly cares about his guests having a good time and he succeeded in providing us with the most brilliant accommodation. We will be back and we have already been recommending the place to friends and family.

Incredible views across the bay. Walking distance to a pub and a 5 minute drive from the beach and many restaurants. Tent was extremely well presented with everything we needed and the hot tub was just divine! The play area at the top of the field and the box of games was a really nice touch. Cannot fault the place!

We had a wonderful stay at Mount View Sunrise Safari tent. Everything was so beautifully presented with freshly cut daffodils from the neighbouring field. David was a fantastic host and was always around to offer help if needed. We loved the big range oven and even made homemade pizzas in it! But our absolute favourite was the huge hot tub overlooking St Michaels Mount and the whole bay. We cant wait to go back.

Sunrise Safari Tent is glamping with emphasis on the glam! Everything you could possibly need is there.....I noticed a review from last year said that it would have been good to have binoculars & a hairdryer, well they are both available now. If you can think of something that would be a benefit & you mention it to David, if its possible he will provide it. The beds are all so comfy with really deep mattresses and the hammocks are a fabulous recent addiction. It is also such a bonus to have your own shower & toilet in the tent and the hot tub on the veranda is wonderful.........with a view to die for! David is a wonderful host, very friendly & more than happy to help with any problem that may arise.....the Wifi went off during our 2nd week but David did his utmost to get it sorted asap. When we arrived there was a vase of flowers, a basket full of Amanda's amazing freshly baked scones & strawberry jam on the table & clotted cream & milk in the fridge. Our welcoming goodies also included biscuits & a delicious bottle of blackberry wine! We were with our Son & his family & our 5 year old Grandson made full use of the football goal in the play area further up the field behind the Horizon Safari Tent which also included a large netted trampoline, a climbing frame with 2 swings & a badminton net ......rackets & shuttlecocks are provided in the toy basket inside the tent which also included footballs & a couple of family outdoor games! Farmer David was also a big hit with our Grandson, & the other children staying at Horizon & the shepherd's hut, for happily giving rides in one of the farm tractors! We all had a wonderful holiday & will definitely be back! We will also be recommending this fabulous site to everyone!

Fabulous accommodation with exceptional facilities. Only thing missing for me was the provision of a hair dryer and a pair of binoculars as we left both behind! BINOCULARS are a must, so much to look at both out at sea and the surrounding countryside. The wood burning stove kept us comfortably warm and was so efficient to cook in. Constant supply of fuel made the whole experience a pleasure. Hot water is also in constant supply. Plenty of room in the shower and the heated towel rail is a welcome addition, especially if you are using the hot tub a couple of times a day as we did!
The views from the tent are magical. Have never been to this part of Cornwall before and choosing to go to Mount View for the first visit made the whole experience so special. We were extremely well looked after throughout our stay. Enjoyed the luxury of the glamping with the feel of the outside. Waking up to the wonderful views overlooking St Michael's Mount with a cup of tea on the deck and an evening dip in the amazingly warm hot tub will stay with me for a long time to come. The boys loved the cabin bed, choosing to share having plenty of room. There is an abundance of storage in the tent also. The description on the site does state free WiFi, however, we did not find this the case but there is definitely a good signal so if you have data not a problem. We found that we didn't need it anyway... Well only to post up wonderful photos to share with our friends and family! Lovely to spend time playing traditional games with the children and enjoying the countryside. The boys loved the footfall goal, which unfortunately we only found on the last day after the occupants of the other tent left to go home. Would definitely say that Sunrise has the best view. Horizon is possibly better for privacy in the hot tub... However, if you are sat out on the deck in the evening you can see everything from Horizon in the reflection on Sunrise glass!! Also, if you are looking for a complete away from it holiday be warned that when the wind blows in certain direction you have quite a lot of noise from the main road at the bottom of the hill. We didn't mind this though as we live with the sound of the local dual carriage way at home! Also had an early morning wake up call from the two dogs in the other tent very early every morning. We loved watching the cars, boats and trains coming and going from Penzance. St Michaels Mount is much closer than it looks in the photographs and you can see the boats ferrying back and forth from the main land. Also you can watch the hoards of people waiting to walk across the causeway. Desparatly wanting to go back.......Already trying to arrange a return visit. Loved the extra touches too.... Cream tea, tea, coffee, washing up products etc.... Loved by us all, thank you for such a relaxing holiday
