Escape to the picturesque countryside of Cornwall and discover your ideal holiday retreat in the charming village of Connor Downs. Just a short drive from Godrevy and the 3 miles of golden beaches of St Ives Bay, our cosy cabin offers the perfect blend of relaxation and exploration.

Whether you’re looking to unwind amidst rolling hills or embark on coastal adventures, Annie’s Place is your gateway to the very best of Cornwall.

Annie's Place is wonderfully located in the small village of Connor Downs, approximately 2 miles east of the seaside town of Hayle and 2 miles south-southeast of the beautiful village of Gwithian. The centre of Connor Downs is about a 3 minute drive or a 10-15 minute walk away which has a dog friendly pub The Turnpike Inn serving fabulous food, a spar shop and a garage.

Trevaskis Farm is just a 3-minute drive or a 20-minute walk from Annie’s Place, conveniently located across the crossroads. The farm offers a delightful range of experiences, including a farm shop stocked with beautiful fresh local produce, a popular restaurant, and seasonal opportunities to pick your own fruit. There’s also a free farm park where you can meet some of the resident animals.

You can book a table to enjoy a meal or simply stop by for coffee and cake. Dogs are welcome in the spacious outdoor seating area, so your four-legged friend won’t miss out on the fun. And if you have a sweet tooth, the dessert counter is an absolute must-see—it’s truly a treat not to be missed!

The coastal village of Gwithian with its beautiful soft golden sanded beach is only 2 miles away. The Headland of Godrevy with it's Lighthouse and Mutton Cove (where you can view the seals and their pups from the top of the cliffs at low tide) are a 5 minute drive away, there is a National Trust carpark, toilets and the amazing Godrevy Beach Cafe. There is a bit of a walk up to the headland but the view is definitely worth it. There are miles of spectacular walks over coastal grasslands and along the North cliffs which can take you out to Hell's mouth (approximately 5 miles) or if you're feeling adventurous even as far as Portreath (approximately 13 miles from Godrevy). Some walks can be quite challenging so look them up before you try if your not a seasoned rambler.

Gwithian beach is part of the 3 miles of beautiful golden sands that stretch across the St Ives Bay. There are rock pools to discover and sand castles to build. The beach is dog friendly all year round, with the exception of the 1st of July to the 31st August inclusive, were dogs are restricted between the hours of 10am to 6pm at Harvey Towans and Godrevy Point.  Beach Map. Gwithian Beach is also well covered by the Lifeguard service between the Easter bank holiday to the end of September. It's just a great beach for everyone at any time of the year, fantastic surf all year round and beautiful walks even in the wind and rain.

The seaside town of Hayle is about 2 miles away, you can find all your supermarkets, local shops, hairdressers, pharmacy, many restaurants and takeaways and pubs there.

St Ives is 9 miles away and a 20 minute drive by car. I would recommend using the park and ride service from St Erth train station and hop on the scenic St Ives Bay Line, you'll be there within 15 minutes. Driving round and parking in St Ives can be impossible during the summer months and can be a complete headache for most holiday guest's. St Erth train station is 4.5miles away and has parking for over 500 cars. You will need to buy your ticket before boarding the train. You can use the GWR app, website or St Erth ticket office or machine and a family ticket (2 adults, up to 3 kids 5-15) is £10, Group day return (4 adults) £8, and day returns Adult £4 and Child (5-15) £2, under 5s are free. Trains run twice an hour during the day, 7 days a week, all year round .... oh and doggo's are welcome on the train to.

We recommend using a car to get around, there is easy access to the main A30 road which can take you in both directions.

Annie's Place is just 9 miles away from St Ives which means you can enjoy all the attractions of this beautiful and popular seaside resort while escaping the hustle and bustle at the end of the day.

The city of Truro is 14 miles away with its beautiful Cathedral, many shops and delightful restaurants. It makes for a great day out if you've had enough of the beach or are in need of some retail therapy! There are various carparks in Truro and a park and ride on the way in (you'll see it sign posted) or you could always take the train from St Erth.

Marazion and the stunning St Michaels Mount is 8 miles away. You can access the Mount either by the causeway (at low tide) or by ferry. You need to book in advance before visiting if you want to access the island. National Trust Members are free, but you may be required to pay for the ferry ride if the tide is in.
