Throughout the day, there is much for everyone to enjoy. Literally, sandy beaches are right outside your door, alternatively, few meters away is a fantastic links golf course. If not, those who prefer the water can go paddle boarding, kayaking or kitesurfing.

The location was chosen to impress President’s and Prime Minister’s as it is indisputably a “World Class”, something many famous artists became aware of hundreds of years ago when the likes of Whistler was first attracted to the special St. Ives “light”.

The location has also inspired writers and the famous local author Rosamunde Pilcher who described the walk to the house as her favourite walk: “My favourite walk is at Lelant, down the road past the Church onto the golf course. You see the Bay and the colours, and it’s never the same – it’s just perfect.”

Begin your day with a cup of coffee in bed or outside and take in the constantly shifting hues over the famous Godrevy Lighthouse. Even in the middle of summer, Lelant village is peaceful and calm. It features two pubs and a pleasant cafe where you can get a bite to eat and a local pint. St. Ives is close by and has a lovely harbour of its own if you’re willing to go a little farther along the South West Coastal Route.
