Situated in a quiet rural location midway between St Ives and Penzance in the narrow neck of land that joins the Lands End peninsula to the rest of Cornwall, Higher Chellew is ideally placed for exploring the peninsula and as a base for visiting all the other attractions of West Cornwall.

Approached by a private well-maintained lane, the stone-built cottages are converted from our old farm buildings and are set in landscaped grounds in an idyllic elevated location with far-reaching views over the countryside and a distant view of the sea. Just a short walk down the lane reveals a panoramic view of Mounts Bay and St Michaels Mount.

Four cottages are available, all furnished to a high standard, presented in immaculate condition and ideal for couples and young families. Pets are welcome subject to prior approval.

The owners’ 150 year old Farmhouse is adjacent (Chellew, incidentally, is old Cornish for “House of the Calf”) and we are always available for help and advice.

• Electric cooker, microwave oven and refrigerator
• Shower room with W.C., washbasin, room heater and heated towel rail
• Colour television
• DVD players in each cottage

The Local Area

Adjacent to Higher Chellew is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its historic moorland landscape and relics of the past. This, together with sandy beaches, quiet coves and places with evocative names like Mousehole, Marazion, Zennor and Sennen, are all set within 36 miles of rugged coastline with the Cornish Coastal Path. Lands End is but 12 miles away. 

A ten-minute drive brings you to St Ives with its beautiful sandy beaches, clear blue sea, harbour, quaint shopping streets and artistic heritage. Of special interest are The Tate Gallery, Barbara Hepworth sculpture garden, Bernard Leach Pottery and numerous art galleries and craft shops.   

Also ten minutes away is the ancient market town of Penzance - a place to be discovered; with a busy harbour, quiet Regency squares, sub-tropical gardens but yet with extensive modern shopping facilities. Its attractions include Cornwall’s only promenade, the recently refurbished open-air art deco seawater Jubilee Swimming Pool, Maritime Museum and Trinity House Lighthouse Centre.
 
For those who want a change from driving a car, bicycles may be hired in Penzance, or you may choose to go on one of numerous walks in the locality of Higher Chellew - free guide notes are available to our visitors.

Directions

From Exeter the direct route is via the A30 heading towards Penzance. (At the end of the M5 take the slip road signed - A30 Okehampton.) Your landmark in the far west will first be a roundabout with signs to Hayle. At this roundabout continue on the A30 signed Penzance.
 
After 2½ miles you come to another large roundabout with signs for St Ives to the right. Take this exit and after c. 300 yards continue straight across a mini- roundabout to another mini-roundabout 150 yards further on.
Turn left here (signed Nancledra 4 miles) and follow this road for c. 3 miles to a T- junction with the B3311. Turn left (signed Penzance and Nancledra) and after c. 1 ½ miles you pass through Nancledra village.
 
Continue on this road and after c. ½ mile you will see our Higher Chellew sign on the left at the head of a private lane.

Turn into the lane and take the first left into Higher Chellew car park.
