Mount Lookout

1.8 miles NW of Marazion

Sleeps 4 | dog friendly

From £98 per night

Glamping pod in Cornwall with a hot tub: a beautiful wooden hideaway for four, with breathtaking views of the ocean and St Michael's Mount.

Overview

Perched high above Mount’s Bay in a scenic meadow, this luxury pod enjoys a stunning vista, sweeping from the Lizard Peninsula in the east to the fishing village of Mousehole in the west; and, perhaps the most magical part of all, it looks straight out to Cornwall’s iconic St Michael’s Mount. Spend your days admiring the view and exploring hidden coves, followed by a sunset dip in your private hot tub.

Step Inside

From the moment you step inside you’ll see that Mount Lookout has been carefully designed and built with luxury and comfort in mind. And there’s plenty of space for up to four people. The stunning wooden interiors frame a relaxed, open plan living space, with a dining table and chairs, a comfy sofa (that converts to a double bed), TV, and kitchenette, complete with cooker, microwave, sink, fridge, toaster and kettle - everything you need to prepare a special breakfast to enjoy out on the decking. At the back of the pod there’s a double bed, handy clothes storage and an en suite shower room with a heated towel rail, to freshen up with a little luxury after a day at the beach. The pod is warm and cosy all year round thanks to its underfloor heating and double glazing, so it’s the perfect place for a tranquil coastal escape, whatever the time of year.

Outdoors

Mount Lookout has its own decking with a table and chairs, so you can sit outside with your morning coffee to listen to the birds and watch the sunrise over the ocean. There's also a secluded hot tub too, so when the sun goes down, why not pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy a dip under the stars? Finally, before bed, light up the fire pit and gather round to toast marshmallows, or tell stories to relive your favourite moments from your day by the sea. Mount Lookout welcomes one dog, so your four-legged friend doesn’t have to stay at home!

Explore

If you can tear yourself away from the breathtaking views, there is so much beauty to discover across the west of Cornwall. One of the first places to visit has to be St Micheal's Mount. This magical island castle can be accessed by foot at low tide across the causeway and at high tide by boat, from Marazion beach. If lazy beach days are on your to do list, then you are spoilt for choice. With sunny St.Ives only a short drive away, as well as Hayle and its 3 miles of golden sandy beaches to be explored, you can enjoy plenty of salt kissed, sandy moments throughout your stay.

For the adventure seekers, visit Sennen Cove, Gwithian and Porthmeor for surf lessons. You can hire equipment here too. If you love outdoor swimming visit the art deco lido in Penzance and enjoy a salt water swim. There's even a thermal pool here, so you can take to the water even in the winter months. If you love walking, the southwest coast path is just waiting to be explored. Pack a picnic and don't forget your swimwear and towel as there are so many hidden coves to embrace a wild swim, along your coastal ramble. The 12-mile St Michael's Way footpath is one to be discovered and to celebrate your voyage, enjoy a refreshing pint at the White Hart inn in nearby Ludgvan, one of the oldest pubs in Cornwall and luckily only a short stroll away from your humble abode.

The magical Porthcurno isn't far away, so why not book into the famous Minack Theater and enjoy watching a show with the most stunning backdrop! Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens is only a ten-minute walk from your glamping hideaway and is well worth a visit. These beautiful gardens boast exotic flora and fauna, and the cafe, shop and onsite gallery are well worth a visit! Take time to wander the streets of Newlyn and enjoy some fresh seafood at Mackerel Sky or a cocktail and Tapas at Lovettes. Mousehole is the next village on from Newlyn and is full of quaint shops and lovely eateries such as The Old Coastguard and The Rockpool. We told you, there is so much to discover across this pretty corner or Cornwall you might never want to leave!

Mount Lookout is in a Great location and view of St Michael’s Mount and the ideal of the pod is lovely however, maintenance and up keep maybe lacking. We had Ants in the bed so maybe a few holes which need sealing and a deep clean. The arrival guide provided by classic cottages didn’t match up to the actions of the owners.
Classic Cottages service and booking experience amazing.

Such a lovely place, photos don't do the view justice and the area is really nice too. Andy (the host) and his wife were very friendly when they popped by to check on things with loads of advice on things to see and do.

What an amazing find! We booked Mount Lookout for a 3 day break away weekend commencing 21st - 24th November wanting a quiet break exploring Cornwall out of season to avoid the crowds and couldn’t be happier with our choice of accommodation. Instructions to get there were simple to follow and we found the site with ease.

The tranquility of the surroundings was amazing and the views were absolutely stunning that being in the depths of winter. Mount view itself did not disappoint. The underfloor heating had been put on already to welcome us and therefore the cabin was already warm and cozy. The kitchen station itself was adequate to prepare and cook food and the seating area was comfortable to relax on.. bonus to a day of exploring was spending the evening in the hot tub taking in the lights around the coast and star gazing.

We did have some pretty rough weather in the night with gales and rain but the cabin remained surprisingly warm and we were fortunate to wake up to calm mornings ready for another day to explore.

Mount Lookout is situated in a brilliant location for exploring all surrounding areas and within very easy driving distance of major supermarkets.

Thank you very much for your hospitality and the welcome basket - a lovely touch. Hoping to visit again next year and cannot recommend this place enough!

Staying at mount lookout was absolutely amazing. We arrived when it was full sunny weather, beautiful and breathtaking view of the sea and St Michael’s Mount. Although we had two mornings with heavy wind and rain, we loved our stay! With 2 adults, 2 children and a dog, it is however a bit packed when the weather is bad. But after rain comes sunshine and the girls loved the hot tub! Every night they would plunge and enjoy the view! Thank you so much for having us and for sharing your view with the world!

Beautiful pods in a stunning location with friendly helpful hosts. They’ve included so much in a small space, without it feeling crammed, so there is everything you need for a comfortable stay, it’s really well thought out. Hot tub was a great temperature and the best view. Wonderful.

Throughly enjoyed our stay. Very efficent use of a small space. Lovely welcome pack for us and one for the dog too. The hot tub water was lovely and clean, with a stunning view. Kitchen was well equipped, bed was comfortable, we enjoyed the fire pit. Perfect location for exploring the area. One of the nicest self catering properties I've stayed in. My only observation would be that maybe a starter pack of logs for fire pit could be offered for a fee?

The location is perfect for exploring west Cornwall - coast path walks, St Michael’s Mount, Tremenheere Sculpture Garden, St Ives by train, Penzance, Sennen beaches, Porthcurno and Treen. We loved our time at Mount Lookout, thank you so much Andrew and Michelle. I hope we’ll be back!

We absolutely loved our stay at Mount Lookout with our Labrador - who equally loved roaming around the grass and beautiful wildflowers! The view is unbeatable and is even better in real life and the hot tub was perfect at sunset, especially as it gets a little chilly in the wind in the evenings. We found this to be the perfect location for visiting lots of beautiful places in Cornwall, such as St Ives, Porthcurno and The Minack Theatre, Sennen Cove, Mousehole and we also loved the local beach at Marazion which was dog friendly after 6pm and has a stunning view of St Michael's Mount too (we had fish and chips on the beach one night and it was lovely!) We would definitely stay here again and I recommend the takeaway coffees at Jordan's Coffee!

Our favourite glamping so far and we've done a lot.
The pod was snug, well thought out and comfy. The view is spectacular.
The hot tub was a welcome addition and a great way to take in the view outside on the colder days.
I would thoroughly recommend this site to anyone and we didn't even have good weather as it was early March.

Lovely stay at MountLookout. Pod had all the facilities you would need, including oven, kitchen utensils, underfloor heating, shower, toilet etc. You can sit out in the morning and enjoy breakfast with a coffee on the decking on a sunny morning. Really relaxing and Andrew the owner always very attentive. We had a power cut and were without hot water, Andrew came and sorted it quickly.

Would like slightly more storage for our things but overall, a very lovely place to stay and highly recommend.

The pod was spotlessly clean and had everything you would need for a self-catering holiday. Even the dogs were spoiled with toys and treats and there was a towel for their paws and a blanket for cuddle time. The welcome gifts for the humans was much appreciated, fresh scones, jam, clotted cream, milk and fresh flowers. There was also tea, coffee and sugar. The bed was so comfortable and the pod was warm and cosy. The owners had gone above and beyond to make our holiday special and it certainly was. The view was beyond beautiful, St Michael's Mount, different every day depending on the weather and light conditions. I would highly recommend this accommodation.
