St Hilary is situated at the heart of the Mounts Bay area at the very foot of Cornwall, 2 miles from the nearest sandy beaches and 3 miles from Marazion with St Michael's Mount. It is an ideal base for a family or walking holiday, with easy access to coastal and moorland walks on both the Land's End and the Lizard peninsulas, and St Ives Bay on the north coast as well. Surfing, riding and golf are all offered nearby, and the area is a paradise for bird-watchers and painters. A host of local attractions includes The Tate Gallery at St Ives; beautiful houses and gardens at Godolphin House, Trengwainton, Trebah and Glendurgan; birds at Paradise Park; the Seal Sanctuary; Flambards theme park and Goonhilly Earth Station, as well as ancient archeological sites, mining museums etc. Excursions to the Scilly Isles can be undertaken from Penzance or Land's End.

St Hilary is a small village with a beautifully decorated church, while shops and pubs serving food are within 3/4 of a mile at Goldsithney. The semi-detached cottage (which is accessible by bus from Penzance) stands at the edge of a small group of cottages next to open fields and woods, with a lovely view towards St Ives from the master bedroom.
