The Ferry House is a perfect haven for those looking to escape the hectic pace of everyday life. A place where you can wake up in a superking size bed and look straight onto St. Ives Bay and Godrevy lighthouse. Watch the ebb and flow of the tide, whilst waking or having your morning tea or coffee. Step out of the door and walk on the dunes or beach comb in St. Ives Bay. There is a spacious private lawned garden with an enclosed heated , swimming pool and a summerhouse where you can be outside but not feel the elements whilst watching the sunset over the bay. Alternatively, there is a TV, DVD player and free unlimited super fast infinity broadband/wifi connection.
Guests are able to park for free at the Church or we can assist in organising parking on the nearby quay 200-250m along the beach from the house. There is no vehicle parking at the property as it is located on the beach and so guests should be able to walk 200m to get in and out of the property. Any questions concerning mobility and access please get in contact.
Lelant, the birthplace of Rosamunde Pilcher, is conveniently located near to St. Ives, but remains a peaceful and relaxed village even in the height of summer. The Eden Project is within easy distance to visit for the day, as are many of Cornwall's tourist destinations. A great location, especially of interest to golfers, walkers, painters, ornithologists, kayakers, windsurfers and anglers.
The famous local author Rosamunde Pilcher described the walk to the house as her favourite walk: "My favourite walk is at Lelant, down the road past the church onto the golf course. You see the bay and the colours, and it's never the same - it's just perfect."
Established in 2008 The Ferry House is one of our three Beach Pads. Located on Porthkidney Sands Beach with its golden expansive sands, Beach Pads three beach front holiday homes have been running and accepting guests since 2008. The first being the the home and art studio of the Cornish/St. Ives artist John Miller and where he painted his iconic beach paintings. The beach outside being the "King of The Beach" on the Album Cover of the same name by Chris Rea was painted at "The Beach House" in the 1990s by John Miller, who was also the best friend of Spy Novelist John Le Carre a frequent visitor. Along with Ruth Aspinall the writer and former owner of The Ferry House the location has always been a magnet for artistic inspiration. When you stay you will easily see why.
We truly understand how hard everyone works these days and that there is so much pressure and stress in every day life. Holiday and down time is very precious. We therefore feel it is our duty when we are chosen as a holiday destination to show our appreciation and do what we can to make sure you “feel the love.”
We know we have the keys to a magical destination. We want to share that with our guests so that they too can tap into the peace and calm that our guests repeatedly enjoy having stayed at Beach Pads. The remarkable experience of staying at Beach Pads provides many of our guests with precious memories, that feel better, are worth more and last longer than many life’s more fleeting likes.
All of the Beach Pads Team including the Housekeepers, the Gardeners, Maintenance Team as well as our award winning village cake maker @TheLittle HomeBakery have all been part of the at Beachpads Team for over 5 years. Some since the beginning when the family first opened the doors to The Beach House back in 2008. We can sincerely say that all members of the team aim for our guests to have a wonderful and special experience. We all work hard to ensure that our guests make wonderful memories during their time being at the Beach Pads.
We are a member of The Professional Association of Self Caterers and are approved as “Visitor Ready” by the AA and Visit England and are in the South West Coastal Route Accommodation guide due to our proximity of being located on the Coastal Footpath. A great spot to walk the first UK Section of the Camino!
