Meadowside

GWITHIAN,
Hayle,
Cornwall,
England

With far-reaching views over St Ives Bay and just two miles from the beach at Gwithian. Escape to the beauty of Cornwall with a stay at Cowslip, Skylark or Meadowside. Three beautifully renovated holiday cottages set on a peaceful 100-acre working farm, once part of the historic Basset family estate. Perched above stunning St Ives Bay with sweeping countryside and coastal views, these welcoming properties offer the perfect retreat for families, couples and outdoor lovers alike.

Just two miles from the golden sands and rolling surf of Gwithian Beach, the cottages enjoy a tranquil setting at the end of a long private farm drive, while still being ideally located for exploring the very best of mid and west Cornwall. Spend your days discovering nearby surfing beaches, scenic coves and charming coastal villages, or simply relax and soak up the peaceful rural surroundings.

The area is a paradise for walkers, cyclists and nature enthusiasts, with countless footpaths and bridleways winding through woodland, nature reserves, open countryside and nearby Tehidy Country Park. For adventure seekers, golf, horse riding and surf lessons are all available locally.

The spectacular South West Coast Path is close by, offering breathtaking clifftop scenery, including the dramatic views at Hells Mouth and beautiful Godrevy Point, where you can gaze across to the iconic lighthouse on Godrevy Island. After a day exploring, enjoy a meal at one of the welcoming village pubs in Gwithian or Portreath, both just two miles away, or head into nearby Hayle for shops, cafés and supermarkets.

Only a 20-minute drive away, the ever-popular St Ives awaits with its picturesque harbour, cobbled streets, independent galleries and the renowned Tate St Ives.

With ample parking, undercover storage for bicycles and beach equipment, plus stabling and grazing available for horses, these cottages provide everything you need for a memorable Cornwall escape.
