What an amazing place to visit. You can walk there at low tide or take the boat at high tide. Historical and beautiful buildings including the abbey. Nice gardens and lots of other interesting buildings. Great views in all directions. Really special place to visit.

St Michael's Mount is a must-visit in Cornwall! We went in the morning and had pre-booked tickets online, which made things easy. The boat ride to the island was £4, as the tide was high, so we couldn’t walk the causeway. The place is absolutely beautiful and full of history—a real highlight of Cornwall! In the evening, we returned for sunset, and it was breathtaking. With the low tide, we could walk along the marble causeway, which made for a unique experience. Plenty of parking nearby, and you can pay with a mobile app, which is super convenient. Highly recommend visiting both morning and evening if you can!

Visited late October, didn't visit the castle, but you can just walk across and visit the shop and cafe. It's worth doing just for that. it only takes a 10-minute stroll across.

We caught the boat to the island because the tide was out, which was quite confusing. The website suggests three places the boats dock at and said there would be people to direct us. We just ended up walking along the coast until we finally found them. However, the crossing was quick and convenient. It was nice to walk around the castle/house but we felt that the rooms were quite bare. The walk to the house was stunning: the steep path leads up from the harbour to the house and is beautiful under the trees. Again the gardens weren't quite what we expected. Again there are steep paths through the hillside, but the variety of flowers is very limited so once you have walked ten metres it is the same. These were beautiful but a bit repetitive. The highlight of the trip was watching the tide retreat and the causeway slowly arise through the water. We also enjoyed walking over the now-dry causeway. The food on the island was good quality but a bit on the pricy side. It is worth a visit because of it's uniqueness, but rather pricy for the pleasure of visiting.

Certainly a jewel in Cornwalls crown. If the tide is out, you can get to this location by walking on the causeway otherwise £2.80 per adult will get you over on boat. A very well kept National Trust property inside and out. To get to the castle, it is a fairly steep 15-minute walk up on uneven cobbles and large stone steps. Guides are very knowledgeable and easily found. Parking is nearby and chargeable, so allow for at least 3 hours.

A beautiful castle located on a picturesque island. Inside there are various rooms with original paintings and furniture. This is something amazing. The view is breathtaking. It's fabulous there! I highly recommend this place.

We did not get into the island because it was high tide and we arrived 3pm. They said that the mount was closed 2 hours ago before we arrived. The scene is so beautiful even from far. There is a spacious parking which is very cheap.
