3-star beachfront hotel with direct views of St Michael's Mount in Marazion
Location and Setting
The Godolphin Hotel sits directly on Marazion beach, with an unobstructed view of St Michael's Mount across the bay. Guests have reserved parking spaces included right outside the hotel in a dedicated area of the public car park. The hotel is 4 miles east of Penzance and under 10 miles from St Ives, home of Cornwall's Tate Gallery.
Dining
The on-site Shutters restaurant serves dishes prepared from seasonal, local produce and fresh seafood, with a Sunday roast that includes Yorkshire puddings. Breakfast offers Cornish specialties and seasonal fruit, with hot and cold choices available from 8am to 11am. The dining room is a light-filled space with indoor seating and al fresco options, both overlooking the causeway and the Mount.
Rooms and Accommodations
Each of the 12 guest rooms is individually decorated to reflect Cornish heritage, with en-suite shower or bath, hairdryer, and complimentary toiletries. Family suites are available with bunks or sofa beds for children, and rooms like Chapel Rock and Penzer Point offer sea-facing windows with views of St Michael's Mount. The hotel has lifts for guests with limited mobility, and some rooms include a small fridge and a private terrace.
Pet-Friendly Amenities
The Godolphin is a dog-friendly hotel that provides a pet basket, pet bowls, a complimentary dog bed, and a snuggle blanket for each canine guest. Dogs receive treats on arrival and can enjoy a doggy beer (a non-alcoholic brew). The staff treat dogs as VIP guests, with no restrictions on where they can accompany owners in the public areas.
Family and Event Services
Families can book family suites that accommodate children with separate sleeping areas, and the hotel provides a children's menu with kids' meals. The hotel has a dedicated events team that assists with planning weddings, private parties, and corporate gatherings, using the coastal backdrop for ceremonies.
