  NEW -  Contemporary, stylish and very pretty would adequately describe this delightful property which lies in the quiet village of Lelant twixt the lively fishing port of St. Ives and the picturesque estuary at Hayle. Honeysuckle Cottage is surprisingly light and spacious and this element has certainly been enhanced by the internal colour scheme of browns, creams and pine throughout together with a neutral decorative palette. The addition of soft furnishings in rich spice, copper and rust completes the contemporary feel. The cottage benefits from private parking for two cars and a delightful rear patio which is ideal for that early morning breakfast in the sunshine! The cottage is very well situated as it is only a five minute walk from two very good pubs serving quality Cornish food and beer and Scarlet Wines, a new delicatessen wine merchant and cafe which is already gaining an enviable reputation for its delicious cakes, lunches and dinners.

  The scenic railway line to St.Ives is also a short stroll from the cottage (in fact the line runs along the embankment just behind the cottage) and is perfect to visit St.Ives without the additional problem of parking which is very difficult in the peak summer months. The Hayle estuary is home to an RSPB sanctuary and in cold winters, as many as 18,000 birds have been seen as it is the most south westerly estuary in the UK and never freezes. During spring and autumn, it is an ideal place to see migrant wading birds, gulls and terns. In the summer, Osprey's are regular visitors. Honeysuckle Cottage is lovely holiday home and ideally situated for either a relaxing or energetic holiday or both!

  Recently voted the number one UK holiday resort for British consumers, St.Ives continues to attract visitors from all over the globe to experience the breathtaking scenery and culture of this picturesque village, artists’ colony and fishing harbour.
  The town is an all year round destination for tourists who wish to explore the Land’s End peninsula and sample some of the best cuisine in the country. Fresh fish and seafood is landed daily and the town is renowned for the number of award winning restaurants including Seagrass which is run by a recent winner of the Masterchef television series.
  Dating back to medieval times, fishing has always been a mainstay of the village and during the heady days of the Pilchard Industry – around the 1860’s - over 17.5 million fish were exported from St. Ives alone!
  The town is synonymous with art and pottery being the home of Bernard Leach (the father of British Pottery) Barbara Hepworth and the Tate Gallery which opened its doors in 1993.
  There are a number of good festivals held in the town during the season including the Food and Drink Festival in May and the St Ives September Festival which is one of the longest running and widest ranging Festivals of the Arts in the UK. It lasts 15 days and includes a range of arts from Music (including Folk, Jazz, Rock, Classical & World) to Poetry, Film, Talks and Books.
