Located in Hayle, it is only a 5-minute drive to the 3 miles of golden sand at Gwithian Beach, popular for water sports and a favourite for families. The coffee shop here provides hot and cold refreshments. If you travel 15 minutes towards Penzance you will come to the market town of Marazion, home to St Michael’s Mount where you can walk across the causeway at low tide to visit the gardens and castle. It is well worth a day out to pop into the local galleries and shops or stop for a pasty or ice cream. The younger ones will love the large play area near the car park.
St Ives is just under 10 miles away. Why not catch the open top bus or train where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and not have to worry about finding a parking space? The nearest town is Hayle, a 5-minute drive or a 25-minute walk, and is known for its wonderful beaches. The one long street joins the historic Foundry District to the shops of the Copperhouse District. Popular with artists, photographers, dog walkers, nature lovers and water sports lovers, this is a great base to explore the local area and unwind.

Very nice peaceful break in a lovely appointed, well equipped lodge… shame about the weather but that can’t be helped!

We had an absolutely fantastic holiday. Woodpecker pod is such a cozy, clean and charming home away from home to explore beautiful Cornwall. The location is ideal, being only a headland away from St Ives and Hayle beach is a 10 minute drive away, along with local shops for anything you need. The site itself is so peaceful and very well looked after. I will be recommending Woodpecker to anyone looking for a tranquil, idyllic place to stay.
