Woodland View - Families & Pets

Recently renovated and dog-friendly, Woodland View is a two-bedroom cottage within the St Ives Holiday Village at Uny Lelant. The property has a private entrance, garden access, and sits about 2 miles from St Ives on the Hayle Estuary's southern shore. It scores 9.7 for cleanliness on Booking.com - the standout figure from its 21 reviews and 8.5 overall rating.

Inside, the cottage has two bedrooms, a living room, and free WiFi. The recent renovation keeps the interiors fresh and modern. A terrace, seating area, and picnic area provide outdoor space, and the holiday village includes a swimming pool for warmer days.

The on-site restaurant serves food from brunch through to dinner, with gluten-free options available. A bar, outdoor play area, and free parking round out the village facilities - a practical setup for families travelling with children and dogs.

Lelant works well as a base for reaching St Ives without the parking headaches. The branch line train from Lelant Saltings takes about 8 minutes to St Ives station. Carbis Bay beach is roughly 3.7 miles away, and the Hayle Estuary RSPB reserve surrounds the village, drawing birdwatchers for curlew, greenshank, and little egret.

Best for families travelling with dogs who want pool access and on-site dining without driving into St Ives. Less good for anyone wanting to walk straight to the beach - reaching St Ives itself means the branch train or a drive.

Nearby: Carbis Bay (1.4 miles) and Porthkidney Beach (1.7 miles). See our St Erth guide for more beaches and walks in the area.
