Situated between St. Ives and the Lizard, the Clowance Estate enjoys 97 acres of beautiful park and woodland and is the perfect choice for those who wish to relax and unwind in a tranquil setting. However, there is plenty of opportunity around this large estate for the young to let off steam without destroying this tranquility. The satellite view shows the extensive open areas and there are many woodland walks, all available for your enjoyment. Most reviews on trip advisor are "Excellent", leading to an average star rating of 4.5.
The on-site facilities are of the highest quality. The newly refurbished leisure centre includes a fully equipped gym, spa and beauty therapy and a heated indoor swimming pool with Jacuzzi. On the upper floor the restaurant offers a relaxed feel with its comfortable bar and dining area offering magnificent views of the main lawn, lake and woodlands. Perfect after a busy day of exploring. The use of the gym and swimming pool is free, as are most of the outdoor facilities which include tennis, badminton and basketball courts, croquet lawn and Frisbee golf. Racquets & clubs etc available to borrow or bring your own. There is a beautiful 4 acre lake where boats can normally be booked at no charge with life jackets provided. Young children are well catered for with a fairy dell, teddy bear’s picnic site and adventure playground. During School Holidays, events are organised for younger children. Clowance has been awarded a Made For Mums Bronze Award for family friendly holidays. The immaculate grounds and extensive woodlands provide walks for all to enjoy.
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaMxzvXkUEU for a video of the estate, taken some while ago since which the golf course shown has closed but it is hoped that there will be a pitch and putt golf area. The tree house shown now accommodates guests but you can walk by it.
The accommodation is on the first floor of a small block in a quiet woodland setting. It is situated on a dead end so there is no through traffic. There is a lovely, private full width South-facing balcony where you can sit and enjoy the view although the golf course is now closed and the area may be subject to some landscaping or development. Inside there are 2 good sized bedrooms, a double with en-suite bathroom and a twin. There is a double sofa bed in the lounge/dining area and this room as well as the main bedroom have nice views. The fully equipped kitchen area includes a dishwasher, oven, hob, microwave and fridge/freezer. There is a launderette very close by. There is a separate family bathroom, all linen & towels are provided and the beds are ready made up for you. There is free internet access, direct dial in telephone, TV and DVD player. There is parking close to your accommodation and you can drive to the leisure centre or walk using the shady drive, a woodland pathway or along the edge of the old golf course. The lodge is professionally cleaned between rentals and all linen & towels are industrially cleaned off-site.
The Clowance Estate is well positioned to explore the surrounding area being only 20 minutes from both North and South coasts. Our favourite beach is Portreath, 8 miles and around 20 minutes away. To eat out when not self-catering or using the leisure club restaurant, there are several top-quality restaurants at Porthleven (8 miles, 15 minutes) with alternatives locally at the excellent village pub or chippy, or towards St Ives at Porthminster Bay and many many more. A holiday in Cornwall is a delight for the whole family. Enjoy bracing walks on the beautiful coastal paths, satisfy young exploring minds with the lure of exciting rock pools or enjoy some of the best surf in the British Isles. Cornwall is a delight for gardeners and wildlife enthusiasts with The Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project each an easy day trip from the estate. Or enjoy a day at Flambards theme park and checkout their spectacular August fireworks display evenings. Clowance provides a unique base for a truly unforgettable holiday experience.
