3 The Manor, Porthkidney Sands

Opposite the West Cornwall Golf Club in Lelant, 3 The Manor is a 3-bedroom apartment sleeping up to 8. The property looks out toward the links and sits about an 8-minute walk from Porthkidney Sands, making it well placed for both beach days and golf.

Inside, three double bedrooms - two with en-suite bathrooms - give the space to accommodate families or groups. The open-plan living and dining area connects to a well-equipped kitchen. A dedicated games room with an Xbox, football table, and dartboard adds a wet-weather option, particularly useful for younger visitors.

Porthkidney Beach is 800 metres away at the mouth of the Hayle Estuary, a wide stretch of sand used for beach walks and water sports. Carbis Bay sits 1.4 miles to the west, and Porthminster Beach in St Ives is 2.4 miles along the coast. The property has a garden, off-road parking, and accepts dogs.

Lelant is a quieter base than neighbouring St Ives, connected by the St Ives Bay branch line from Lelant Saltings station - roughly 8 minutes by train. The West Cornwall Golf Club, founded in 1889, is one of the oldest courses in Cornwall and accepts pre-bookings with no handicap requirement. The Hayle Estuary RSPB reserve surrounds the village, drawing birdwatchers year-round for species including curlew and little egret.

Best for families or groups of golfers wanting space for eight, a garden, and a games room for wet days, with dogs welcome too. Less suited to those wanting a lively evening scene - Lelant is a quieter base than St Ives, a short train ride away.

Nearby: Porthkidney Beach (800m) and Carbis Bay (1.4 miles). See our Lelant guide for more beaches and walks in the area.
