Nestled beside the serene beauty of the Hayle Estuary, The Oystercatcher is a stunning large family home in the modern Saltings development in Lelant.

Cafe’s and pubs are in walking distance and some of the finest beaches in the UK are a short train or drive away. Porthkidney Sands is a mile away and is a fantastic stretch of beach.

The Oystercatcher is a four bedroom home with accommodation spread over 3 floors, outside space and parking for two cars.

The ground floor has a cosy living room, with deep comfortable sofas, a gas fire and a TV. The kitchen is well equipped and the handy utility adjacent utility room means you can keep the laundry out of the way. The dining room is a great space when you wish to have a sit down meal together.

Outside, you’ll be able to enjoy the sun as it hits the patio. There is plenty of seating to enjoy an alfresco drink.

From your doorstep there are some superb walks with Porthkidney Beach a mile away and the RSBP Nature Reserve with the possibility of sighting some rare birds. There is also a range of places to eat such as The Old Forge, Birdies Bistro, The Badger Inn, The Watermill and The Quayside.

The property does have some areas which will be locked off to guests. These include a top floor bedroom, the garage and a hallway cupboard. These are not included in the descriptions.

We’re a small and friendly local team managing holiday lets in West Cornwall. We’re family run and know the area really well. We tend to leave our guests in peace but if we’re passing we might knock on and say hello.
If you need help we provide a mobile number for assistance and a comprehensive guidebook. We’ll happily offer personal recommendations to.

The Oystercatcher is really well located for exploring everything West Cornwall has to offer. You can even ditch the car for a lot of it.

There is a train station close by making getting to St Ives easy, also Carbis Bay and even Penzance. There is also a regular bus service through Lelant to St Ives, Hayle, Penzance and beyond.

If travelling by car you’re not far (but far enough away) from the A30 which makes getting around Cornwall much easier.

The Oyster catcher is a great property to stay at for a large family. The location was perfect for exploring Hayle, St Ives and surrounding beaches. Places nearby to eat are highly recommended. We visited The Forge more than once. Great food and atmosphere. The short walk to St Erth train station made visiting St Ives very straightforward and convenient. Having visited numerous areas in Cornwall, this is without doubt our favourite location. We would highly recommend staying at the Oyster Catcher. Thank you to Sam and team.😁

This house is a real home from home. It has everything you need for a family holiday. It’s got a very very well equipped kitchen and Sam provided everything you needed to keep everywhere clean. A real bonus! Thank you The house its self is spacious and very very comfortable. Beds were very comfy and bedrooms spacious with plenty of wardrobes and hangers! We all loved it so much so our grandsons want us to book again! 3 Bathrooms and separate loo also a bonus. A safe and secure patio for your dogs also a bonus. The house is situated in a quiet cul de sac very private with lovely neighbours and well within walking distance of a pub a couple of bistros and 2 branch line stations. Walking with the dogs was easy and lovely along the Saltings and a further walk will take you to the beach and golf course. Just lovely. Sam has been very helpful, friendly and very responsive. We would very happily and confidently book this place again. Thank you for a lovely holiday

Beautiful big house that was perfect for our family holiday. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms allowing everyone their privacy while also spending time together in the big shared spaces. The location is strategic to reach different attractions in West Cornwall and also easy to reach from other parts of the UK as it's close to the main road into Cornwall. Sam gave us plenty of tips on what to do and where to eat. We had a wonderful stay!

Had a fabulous week at the Oystercatcher with my young family and dog! This house really has everything you need – the team have thought of every little detail. There were lots of books and games to play, wind breaks for the beach, lots of garden seating and plenty of space in the house that it never felt crowded. The only minor issue was that in the heat of the summer, we had all the windows open at night and the main road outside the front bedrooms was quite noisy. But everyone managed to sleep well after days full of adventure! Despite this, we would happily stay here again for a really enjoyable holiday!

Once we found the rear of the property, (satnav took us down the wrong road) entering was very easy! And after a very long eight hour journey from London the welcome pack including tea, coffee, sugar and milk was very much appreciated. Another bonus was having three bathrooms. No queuing for our morning shower! Overall we had an excellent stay and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit the St Ives area.

A great spot for a family stay. Lots of space and really well equipped. Walkable to beach/ restaurants/ bars but also well positioned for transport links to st Ives and further afield. The yard is useful outdoor space with a washing line. The neighbours, mainly residents, were very friendly and welcoming. We stayed for a couple of weeks and they had very nice cleaning staff that serviced the house half way through. A lovely treat after a long day at the Eden project! All in all would recommend it to anyone.
