Upon your return to Acorn Lodge, a snug sitting area awaits with cushioned sofas, a wall-mounted TV and the added comfort of an electric coal effect fire. Why not close the day with an evening of stargazing from your private decking area? Complete with a hot tub for the ultimate stress buster! Rinse off the day in the shower room with a walk-in shower to wash away the sand before bed. Choose from a king-size bedroom with a spacious walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room, alongside a twin room. Explore your peaceful surroundings of St Day Tourist Park with on-site facilities, a playground for little ones and plenty of picnic spots to soak up the sun, whilst the little village of St Day has pubs and village shops for your self-catering needs. With so much to see in the fantastic area of Cornwall, jump in the car and head to the likes of Porthtowan and Portreath for memorable days of sandcastles, swimming and relaxing on your beach towel. Outdoor adventurers can stop off for lunch at Truro, home to a Gothic cathedral and the Royal Cornwall Museum, before exploring The Roseland Heritage Coast; find attractions such as the National Trust's scenic Trelissick Garden, Old Kea Church and an abundance of sandy coves as you wander the coast. Be sure to visit the famed seaside town of St Ives for a whole host of activities, whether that's discovering artwork at the Tate and Barbara Hepworth Museum, wandering cobbled streets to find quirky shops and cafés, or exploring the coast for the perfect sunny spot to read, or the perfect path to trek for spectacular sea views. However you wish to spend your holiday in Cornwall, a wonderful base awaits at Acorn Lodge.
St Day was previously the mining capital of mid-Cornwall until adjacent Redruth took over, and the terraces of granite cottages built for the miners can still be seen. The settlement was named after a little-known saint named Day or Dye (better known in Brittany). The village presently features a pub and a convenience shop, as well as a granite gothic-style church from 1828. The beautiful village of Portreath is six miles away, and its wild and rugged coastline attracts visitors from all over the world.

The site is vlearly being developed but this did not disturb us in the slightest, and Nathan could not have been more helpful. We were a two couple party so I wish I'd mentioned this beforehand so the two single beds could be pushed together (in the second bedroom) before we arrived (and a mirror in that room would have been really helpful too)! This felt like a really high end accommodation (with some lovely 'welcome' touches too) ...we would certainly return in the future!

Spacious accommodation, we had 4 adults & didn't feel we were on top of each other at all. Welcome gifts & milk, coffee, soap etc was very welcomed. Only issue we couldn't find a hair dryer (went & bought one) The table outside was a waste of space as unable to sit & eat or play cards as the heater in the centre took up all the room, however it had no gas so we couldn't even toast smores. The work on the new lodges didn't impact us, although perhaps a belt to keep up his shorts may be an idea!!!! Will definitely be booking again

Great location for exploring both the north and the south coast. If you have teenagers and/or are keen cyclists, I would recommend hiring bikes and spending the day cycling the coast to coast trail (old mine tram tracks from Portreath to Devoran) which is on the doorstep. Scenery is stunning and my boys loved it! Body boarding in Porthtowan and Perranporth is a must too. Would have given 5 stars but owner is busy working hard, finishing building other lodges surrounding this one so a little bit of building work happening in front of lodge (was not noisy though), otherwise view over mining valley is quite pretty.
