St Michael's Mount, Cornwall - Is it worth visiting? Rip Off National Trust or a perfect day?

Whenever we've visited St Michael's Mount, it has left us with a little bit of magic! St Michael's Mount is a unique mansion, perched on a lofty isolated mass of rock, separated from Marazion at high water by about four hundred yards of sea, but at low water connected to the mainland by a stone causeway. It's solitariness and grandeur suggest something of the romantic story that has been woven around its venerable, weather-worn walls during hundreds of years.

But there have been some unpopular changes in the last few years relating to car parking, ticketed entry and a summer dog ban. Not all visitors are leaving with a bit of magic. Has St Michael's Mount lost it's sparkle?

In this video we will be taking a deeper look at the comments left on Trip Advisor, both good and bad. More importantly we will be taking our own tour to gain a current visitor point of view. How many stars would we give it? Is it over priced? What is the food like?

Let's take a proper look and find out if its worth it.

The Trip Advisor and Google reviews have been taken at face value, and have not been verified.

The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on YouTube, usually weekly. Sometimes we stay in accommodation in Cornwall and upload our vlog. Sarah is fascinated by sea glass and likes to collect it so there may be the occasional sea glass video too. The channel is a hobby and we both have normal day jobs!

We love your comments and read all of them. We also answer as many as possible. Unfortunately, we cannot answer comments received more than a week after publication.

Frequently asked questions:
What are your dogs called?
Sorry but we do not release the names of our dogs but perhaps you could make up a name for them!

What camera do we use?
Since December 2018 we have used: Canon Powershot G7x MkII

How do I find the books you use?
Most are still in print although some we pick up in charity shops and may be available on Amazon secondhand. Please refer to the video for the book titles. Every video shows the book three times. Sorry but we can’t put a link in every description.

Best time of year to visit Cornwall?
We love May, June for flora and fauna, July and September for spectacular scenery.
