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
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!
