Situation - Little Collorian enjoys a prime location with picturesque views of Trencrom Hill, perfectly positioned between the north and south coasts of Penwith. Its setting provides convenient access to some of Cornwall's most beloved coastal destinations-St. Ives, Carbis Bay, and Hayle to the north, and Marazion, Perranuthnoe, and Praa Sands to the south.
To the north, the area around St. Ives boasts a collection of beautiful beaches, each offering its own distinctive appeal. Porthmeor Beach, facing the Atlantic and home to the renowned Tate Gallery, is a haven for surfers, while the family-friendly beaches along St. Ives Bay cater to all ages. The region also offers a wealth of outdoor activities, from water sports and scenic coastal walks to a round at the West Cornwall Golf Club-an esteemed course overlooking the estuary, located less than a mile away.
Heading south, you'll discover a range of charming towns and villages. The historic market town of Marazion offers sweeping views across Mounts Bay to the iconic St. Michael's Mount, while nearby Penzance provides a full array of amenities and a direct rail link to London.

Accommodation includes two double bedrooms on the ground floor, while the first floor hosts two en-suite double bedrooms and an additional double bedroom-providing ample space for family and guests alike.
Outside - Little Collorian is nestled within beautifully landscaped private gardens, lovingly nurtured by the current owners over many years.
