Happys (ref UKC196) lives up to its name. This single-storey, semi-detached lodge has been lovingly furnished to a very good standard, and the interior has been designed with a certain colour and flair, providing a comfortable and cosy retreat all year round. Happys also looks out onto a green wooded area and the surrounding area is a safe haven for wildlife and holiday goers alike.

Guests can even have a try at scuba diving (£20pp).
Take the scenic coastal train from nearby St Erth to St Ives. The popular seaside town features a quaint harbour and glorious beaches. Budding artists and enthusiasts might like to visit the art gallery, Tate St Ives, or the Barbara Hepworth Museum. Strolling along its cobbled streets, you’ll find that St Ives is home to a host of curiosity shops and galleries. There’s also alfresco fine dining to try in one of the many excellent restaurants dotted along the water’s edge. The area is famous for its beautiful golden stretches, such as the award-winning beach at Carbis Bay, Porthminster and the rolling sand dunes at Hayle. This glorious surfing beach stretches all the way to Gwithian, and enjoys far-reaching views of Godrevy Lighthouse and out to sea.
Nearby, Tehidy Country Park boasts over 25 acres of woodland, cycle trails and bridle paths to explore. St Michael’s Mount (Karrek Loos yn Koos in Cornish, meaning ‘hoar rock in woodland’) is a must-see attraction during your stay. The small tidal island is close to Marazion, which is a hotspot for birdwatchers thanks to its habitat rich marshland just half a kilometre west of the historic town. Beach 2 miles. Shop 500 yards, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

Clean and convenient, beds are comfortable and location is great. Just one issue was the sofa - not comfy enough for us to relax on but might suit others.

It was a good base to go to places and good equipment for use, the green space by the property is nice and nice to have a bus to go into ST Ives . The furniture didn’t feel that comfortable and some didn’t meet our needs as a family. We were disappointed not to be told beforehand we would have to book to be able to go swimming as our kids love swimming and was only able to once as was fully booked, if we had been told we would have done this a lot earlier so it didn’t feel a very smooth start to the holiday when faced with these issues as wasn’t advertised like that.
