Stylish, nautical themed chalet, in peaceful woodland setting, close to St Ives

2 bedroom, 1 bathroom chalet on St Ives holiday village, sleeps 4 and a furry friend

Double and twin bedded stylish chalet in fabulous woodland setting - linen and towels provided

Taking inspiration from the sea we have created a relaxing, beach hut themed retreat which is both comfortable and stylish. We believe that a good nights sleep is essential and all mattresses and bedding are regularly replaced with new. There is also a well equipped open plan kitchen and living room with flat screen TV, DVD player and over 100 DVDs to choose from. A decent electric shower will wash off sand and salt water after a hard days play on the beach! If you fancy a BBQ or eating alfresco, there is a lovely patio area and picnic table outside. The chalet is self catering but there is a restaurant on site which is open form March - end October.

'Ansome' Lodge, meaning lovely lodge in Cornish dialect is perfectly suited for all types of holidays and interests. Surf trips, family holidays, gourmet adventures, girly/boys breaks away, romantic retreats for couples, bird watching extravaganzas, you name it, there will be time either during the main holiday season or the quieter Winter months when it will suit. We welcome a well behaved dog, please wipe muddy paws at the door.

Situated on a popular St Ives holiday park in Lelant between Hayle and St Ives, Ansome Lodge sits in 100 acres of woodland and enjoys a quiet and peaceful site. From March to the end of October, all guests can make use of the parks on-site facilities which include; swimming pool, water slide, sauna, shop, bar and evening entertainment - leisure passes can be bought separately (£18 for a short break, £30 for a week for the whole family). Horse riding can be booked at the Old Mill riding stables - almost opposite the site entrance.

In peak season there is an excellent bus service that will take you from the reception on the park to St Ives and back, meaning you don't have to worry about parking and even enjoy a glass of wine or two with your lunch! You can also hop on an off one of the most scenic open top bus routes showcasing rugged coastlines, mining heritage sites, harbour towns and Land’s End itself on the Land's End Coaster.

There is also the St Ives coast train from St Erth station a mere 5 minutes away, oh and while you are over that way, why not try one of Philip's famous Cornish pasties in Hayle....

St. Ives Holiday Village
I loved being amongst the trees and detached , quiet location. We found the folder in drawer in the lounge useful for things to do . We were disappointed that we had no bench and table on the patio that was stated in the write up. We were looking forward to sitting outside. Also no blind in the bathroon for privacy .

A golden retreat to take your cares away
This property is adorable I really did not want to leave. The property is on a John fowler site which is about 4 miles from penzance about 12 miles to St ives 20 miles to truro. The property is situated in woodland which is such breath taking your accomadtion is situated with other property's but they are not on top of you its so peaceful. The property has everything you need like going from home to home. You can not park out side the property you park on the car park and walk down to it. We went the 16th to the 24th Sept and the club is open but it does not serve food in the day but it does in the evening but times vary. I would not buy a wrist band for the club because out of season there is no entertainment but you can go in the club to sit down and to have a drink and they have a nice out side where you can sit. The accomodation has a double bedroom,but if you have mobility issues the bed is rather high to get in and out off. There are 2 single beds which are very comfy. The accomodation has a walk in shower with a little step to get in. If you book through vrgo then the paper work will say to take your own bedding not duvets but when we got there the beds were made so this is something you won't have to take. There is a tesco morrisons aldi lidl very close by. I would 100% recommend this property and I would definitely go back.

Great place to stay
Place was lovely and just what is needed for a base to explore. Victoria was great and so helpful! Couldn't do enough. New management at the resort hadn't made the entertainment passes too clear but with a bit of communication all was cleared up and we were on the way to a wonderful week. Thanks so much for the opportunity to stay here. It was wonderful.

Summer at "Ansome Cottage"
Excellent directions to the property and good location to explore the surrounding area on foot, car and via public transport. The property was as described and had everything you need to make our stay comfortable, it is in a forest setting so it was fun and entertaining to watch the squirrels and seagulls going for any titbits we gave to them. The walks though the forest and the public footpath into St Earth and also to St Ives was also welcome. All in all a home from home

Beautiful surroundings
We took our two granddaughters for a few days away. The surrounding area was beautiful and lots of walking was done. Our granddaughters enjoyed exploring the woods. The only let down for us was on John Fowler's side. We could use the amenities however if we wanted to use the pool we had to pay £18 pp per day! The bungalow was very well laid out and great for the duration of our stay. The kitchen was well equipped with what you needed. There was plenty of room for us all.

Lovely family holiday
We have just returned from a great week away in St Ives with 2 young children. The Chalet was just what we wanted as a base to explore the beautiful surrounding area. It was clean, well kept and modern and the beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed for our stay and we were plesantly suprised to see that there were plastic bowls, plates and cuttlery for our little ones, which not many people consider. The holiday village is great with a lovely playground hidden in the woods along the woodland trail. We used the swimming pool once which was very warm, and the kids had fun at the kids disco a couple of times during the week. The beaches in the surrounding area were stunning and we used the train and the coastal bus to get around which was very easy to use.

Half Term Break
The property was ready early and very clean on arrival. Small but well equipped and just enough for us 3 and the dog. Set in woodland with facilities onsite - my son loved the arcade and we had a few drinks at the pub but dogs not allowed inside. We caught the Land’s End Coaster open top bus every daily that went from the site hourly - goes all round the coast and St Ives less than 10 minutes away. Hardly worth getting your car out and trying to park so well worth it. We were blessed with great weather and has an amazing week. Would definitely rebook this property.

I was very disappointed with the standard of cleanliness, smell of damp and mould when first entering the lodge, crockery was dirty and stained, unwashed trays left in oven, large area of mould in shower tray, curtains discoloured with mildew stains, arm chair stained, cobwebs in most rooms, window sills very dirty. It was such a shame as this could be a really nice lodge if it had been clean especially in the current situation with Civid still around.

Lovely week in Cornwall
We had a lovely stay here. Everything was straight forward from booking to check in and out. Inside was very clean and had everything you needed for a week away. The chalet is on a little holiday village near St Ives with ample parking and basic facilities which come in useful for buying things like bread and milk and maybe a morning pastry if you fancy. There's a lovely outdoor play area for children following a short woodland walk. The onsite swimming pool is a little tired but perfectly fine for a quick splash. We mainly visited the enormous beach in Gwithian which was a 10-15 minute drive away. Overall, a lovely time in a lovely part of England.
