Location

Lelant is a picturesque village nestled beside the beautiful Hayle Estuary, just a short distance from the renowned coastal town of St Ives. With direct access to the South West Coast Path from the bottom of the garden, this is an ideal location for walkers and nature lovers alike. The scenic St Ives Bay railway line is only 200 metres away, offering a charming and convenient link to St Ives and beyond. Nearby, the highly regarded West Cornwall Golf Club enjoys an elevated position overlooking the estuary, providing spectacular views alongside its challenging course. Porthkidney Beach, a wide stretch of golden sand often captured in the work of celebrated artist John Miller, lies just beyond the dunes and continues almost uninterrupted to Carbis Bay. This unspoilt beach is perfect for long walks, dog-friendly outings, or simply soaking up the coastal beauty. St Ives itself is one of the most iconic destinations in West Cornwall, famed for its sandy harbour, turquoise waters, and vibrant arts scene. The town’s narrow, cobbled streets are home to an eclectic mix of boutique shops, art galleries, bars, and restaurants, catering to every taste.
