Relax
The Old Chapel is well equipped with household essentials so on arrival you can settle in to your home from home and plan your holiday activities.
Some guests prefer to spend time in the local area and barely use their cars once here; you can sunbathe in the garden, use the Polmanter facilities or wander down through the fields and lanes to St Ives where the sandy beaches and clear blue waters await.

Further afield, it takes about 45 minutes to drive to Newquay, Falmouth and Truro, whilst the Eden Project and Padstow are about 1 hour's drive away.
What Guests Say
"Had a fabulous week at The Old Chapel, a gorgeous house in a great location, with great amenities a stones throw away. House was a perfect size for 8 adults, 2 babies and 2 dogs.
30 minute walk into St Ives and regular buses back only took 10-15 minutes.
Would definitely recommend and come back!"
