Kelyow

Kelyow is a single-storey lodge in St Day, a former mining village about 3 miles south of Redruth. The property sits within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site, and its standout feature is full ground-floor accessibility throughout - a genuine rarity among Cornish holiday lets.

Inside, two bedrooms - one double and one twin - share a bathroom with bath and shower over. The open-plan living space combines kitchen, dining area, and sitting room with a gas fire. A dishwasher, washing machine, fridge/freezer, and WiFi are all included. A sofa bed in the lounge provides additional sleeping space for a fifth guest.

The enclosed garden has a decked area with a private hot tub, and off-road parking accommodates 2 cars. Two dogs are welcome. The village shop and Star Inn are about 10 minutes on foot.

Portreath Beach, a sandy north coast beach with reliable surf and summer lifeguards, is 5.2 miles away. Trevaunance Cove at St Agnes - known for its old harbour remains and year-round dog access - is 5.8 miles. The Great Flat Lode trail for walking and cycling passes nearby, and Carn Brea with its hillfort and panoramic views is about 2 miles north.

Nearby: Portreath Beach (5.2 miles) and Trevaunance Cove (5.8 miles). See our St Day guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for a group of up to five with two dogs and full ground-floor accessibility, plus a private hot tub in the enclosed garden; less suited to those wanting a coastal walk from the door, since the nearest beach is a 5.2-mile drive.
