Woodland bungalow, fantastic location

Woodland Bungalow is a two-bedroom holiday-park property in Uny Lelant, part of the John Fowler St Ives Holiday Village. It sleeps four across a double bedroom and a twin room, and is rated 9 out of 10 from 72 Booking.com reviews. The nearest station puts St Ives eight minutes away by train.

The bungalow has a fully equipped kitchen, dining area and a small bathroom with a bath and overhead shower. Free WiFi and heating run throughout, and it sits in a quiet corner of woodland at the edge of the park, close to a small river and picnic area. Bed linen and towels are provided; beach towels are not.

Park facilities include an indoor heated pool, games room, playground, minimarket, bar and a restaurant serving British food, open February to November and priced separately from the stay. Free on-site parking is available for guests.

Carbis Bay is 1.3 miles away, with Porthkidney Beach a further half mile and Porthminster Beach 2.5 miles. St Erth is the nearest town on record for the property.

Best for families wanting on-site pool and play facilities within reach of the beach. Less good for anyone wanting a stand-alone cottage, since facilities and evening entertainment are shared across the wider holiday park.
