About this property

The Pippin is a charming, cosy granite terraced house in Lelant. With beautiful beaches on the doorstep, pretty villages around and St Ives just minutes away, it is a perfectly positioned holiday home. This cosy cottage is in the heart of the peaceful village that is bound by the Hayle Estuary to the east and the sweep of St Ives Bay to the north. The white stretch of Porth Kidney Sands is just 10 minutes walk away, this little known beach is stunning and lined with incredible sand dunes.

The two storey cottage has characterful accommodation with a lovely inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove in the living room for a warm welcome as soon as you walk in through the front door. The kitchen and shower room are also on the ground floor and upstairs are the two bedrooms one double and one single, both beautifully appointed. There is an enclosed sunny garden to the rear which has a barbecue and is perfect for relaxing in the warmer months with a good book. Lelant itself has a basic provisions store and good food is served at the Badger Inn. Golfers are welcomed at the nearby club and are sure to enjoy the 18 hole links course which has great sea views. The branch line to St Ives is just down the hill - hop aboard for this short train ride - on arrival, the much painted pretty harbour will need no introduction - enjoy an ice cream whilst taking in the view. The Pippin is a lovely home for a small family or group of friends and is an ideal base for exploring Cornwall at any time of year - book soon!

The village of Lelant sits on the mouth of the Hayle estuary, with a large sandy beach to one side and a narrow strip of sandy coves accompanying the estuary water inland. Ideally placed for sightseeing, where you can jump on the branch line to St Ives for a day trip or drive across to the magical St Michael's Mount in Marazion. With beaches on both coasts easily accessible you will never be stuck for trips to the beach. The closest is Porthkidney Sands which can be reached on foot along the estuary which winds its way through sand dunes to where the River Hayle joins the Atlantic Ocean. Lelant has two pubs, a deli and restaurant and a golf course with outstanding views.

  • Stephen

    Excellent location, great for our dog, The Badger Inn (50 meters away) excellent food and hospitality. Good links to St.Ives.

  • Sharon

    The location was great short walk to the beautiful dog friendly beach, train station and bus stop. The pub opposite serves great food, although sone evenings we experienced a lot of noise from the pub garden Great location for exploring the local beaches. Very well equipped kitchen. Great to have a secure garden for our dog. We had a great holiday and have already booked again for next year. The added bonus was we had amazing weather.

  • Steffi

    It has absolutely everything you and in the best location possible. It was so clean and cosy. A stones throw from the local pub and a 10 minute walk to a very quiet beach. We took our dog and the garden was more than big enough and they even had dog bowls to use. Bus stop into St Ives is a 2 minute walk away. The house is in a quiet spot but a great location between St Ives and Hayle. We’re already looking at booking this property for next year because it was amazing. I know there isn’t guaranteed parking but we never had a problem the whole time we were there. Cannot fault anything.
