Despite its beauty and convenience for holiday makers, it remains surprisingly quiet compared to other Cornish beaches. It’s perfect for beach and sea sports and you can even take your horse for a quick gallop across the sands! The long sandy beach that stretches towards Long Rock is a popular windsurfing, kite surfing and sailing spot amongst locals and holiday makers alike. Mounts Bay provides ideal conditions for watersports, and kite surfing and stand up paddleboarding lessons are available with Ocean High for those looking to make the most of the outdoors.

Venture Eastwards and you'll find Marazion Beach East, or Steps Beach. This dog-friendly beach is favoured by locals as it is quiet due to its limited access and rocky shore, but it is perfect for dog walking, and collecting driftwood after a storm. Children will enjoy the many rock pools when the tide is out. Accessible via Leys Lane or from Marazion beach if you don't mind climbing over the rocks!

Mrs Bunclark Jul 2020
Very warm welcome from the owner
View from every window perfect,looking forward to the next visit.
Mrs Derbyshire Oct 2019
An excellent holiday let with superb views across Mounts Bay. The approach road from Marazion is narrow but takes very little traffic. The final approach driveway to Lowenna View is steep but easily negotiated with a bit of due care. Roger, the property owner, is both welcoming and helpful and lives on the first floor of the house with the whole of the ground floor making up the self contained holiday let.The provision of scones, jam and clotted cream on arrival is a nice touch. Just right after a long drive. The apartment is spotlessly presented with a handy key safe in the porch for ease of key collection. We had all we wanted to make Lowenna View a home from home experience.
Mr Blyth Oct 2019
View is fantastic! The owner was most helpful in making our stay welcome.
Location is great and plenty of room. Easily accessible to local shops and pubs. Would recommend this property highly and we had a fantastic time.
Mr Green Aug 2019
Perfect location, the view of the mount, easy walk to the village and lovely beaches nearby. The house was well equipped for cooking, so we didn’t have to eat out every day. We loved our stay. We very rarely consider staying in the same place twice, but this would be our exception
Mrs McCarthy Jul 2019
Very well equipped lovely home from home excellent service from aspects and a nice friendly welcome from the owner on arrival
Mrs Mason Jul 2019
Excellent apartment throughout. Kind gesture of cornish tea on arrival and warm greetings from Roger, the owner. The views of the Mount,the bay and coastline out to Newlyn and Penzance are magnificent from every room. Definitely recommend and will be coming again.
Mr Moorby Jun 2019
Lowenna view is beautiful. Stunning views from every window.Lovely warm & comfortable. Well equipped.Gorgeous paintings on the walls by the owner rogers daughter.Roger was lovely & made sure we were warm & had everything we needed. He even gave our dog ted a homebaked bone.We didn't want to leave. I cannot recommend lowenna view highly enough & we most certainly will be returning.
Mrs Walters Jan 2019
What al lovely place Lowenna View is. Fantastic views across to St Michaels Mount.. The house was so comfortable, spacious and well furnished. Lovely cream tea on arrival plus a home baked biscuit for the dog. Roger ( The owner) was on hand to greet us and to say farewell when we left. Apparently a new bathroom for next year. Loved the fact that everywhere was carpeted, made it much more homely than having laminate floors which our dog hates. Would love to go back again soon.
Mrs Duffin Nov 2018
A comfortable well-equipped apartment in a very quiet peaceful spot, with fantastic panoramic views across Mounts Bay. Comes with the added bonus of a private parking space.
Mr Howell Nov 2018

Mr Clover Sep 2017
Fantastic location with amazing views all year round. Well equipped for families which is why we return year after year.
Ms Clark Aug 2017
Just a prime spot, that would make any tourist to Marazion jealous. Even on dull days there is just so much to see from up there. An easy walk in to the village. A very special position.
Mr Edwards Jul 2017
The cottage provided simply the most stunning of views from its very elevated position. It is very spacious, well equipped, comfortable and spotlessly clean. We would highly recommend it and will be considering returning in the not too distant future.
Prof Jones Jun 2017
We reviewed this property some time ago saying "...3 generations of our family have been staying here for 35 years ...". As of last week this should be updated to read "4 generations". We will keep coming back.

The best view in Marazion hands down! And the owner is true Cornish gentleman.
Mr Noble Jul 2016
The views from every window was breathtaking. The location of the property is great for walking to the town, pubs and restaurant.
Mrs Taylor Apr 2016
The view from Lowenna view is breathtaking. We received a warm welcome from the owner who left us some little treats. The decor is quaint and comfortable. It is up a very steep narrow lane but the parking space makes it easy to get in and out if you need to drive anywhere.
Ms Mayo Jan 2016
The delightful Rodger was extremely helpful, friendly and informative. We arrived to find a superb handmade Cornish cream tea waiting for us. A lovely touch. Liked the location the view the delightful seventies era Cornish cottage.

Ms Goddard May 2015
One of the finest locations in Cornwall. Three generations of our family have been holidaying in this property for 35 years. When we find somewhere better, we'll go there instead.
Mr Howard May 2015
Wonderful views of the Mount and of Penzance Bay from the window. Well kept garden with loungers to use when sunny.
Mr Cowley May 2015
stunning sea views from house, as long as you don't mind the steep and narrow access to drive/walk to house. Its gorgeous and quiet - lovely welcome cream tea and flowers on arrival -
Mrs Cooper Apr 2015
Reply from Aspects Holidays
We really appreciate you reviewing this property. Lowenna View is a lovely apartment conveniently located just a 10 minute walk to the centre of Marazion and benefitting parking and amazing views. Having reviewed your comments, and the property information, we have now amended our details to reflect the fact that although the property is accessible across one floor with the parking directly outside, it is a steep road leading from the village. We are delighted to hear that you found the walk worthwhile to enjoy those views and the peace and quiet there. Tanya, Customer Services.
A delightful appartment, with large comfortable rooms, and the most stunning views overlooking St Michael's Mount, and all along Mount's Bay towards Penzance, Newlyn, and Mousehole.
Mr Baldwin Mar 2015
