From Owen and Rachel 4th August 2026
Our favourite ever Airbnb find – a luxurious and spotless apartment in a stately home inside a wildlife sanctuary. Perfect for families; large rooms, good bathroom and kitchen, wonderful host who gave us a guided tour of his park (and free entry on each day we stayed!). Very thoughtful to leave milk, bread and everything needed for proper Cornish scones. If you have young children they will absolutely love staying here – I can’t think how it could be better!

We had the most incredible stay here. Stumbling across this apartment on Airbnb felt like such an exciting find. It’s a huge apartment in Paradise Park, it feels so special, you get access everyday to walk around the park & look at the most exotic birds (the golden eagle was a favourite!) & some cool animals and even an amazing softplay for the kids, one of the best I’ve seen. The apartment has three very big bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen very clean & well stocked. Nick the host was so lovely & was always available for any questions. A lovely hamper of treats was left & some tasty scones and clotted cream and jam! Such a nice touch. We parked at St Erth train station and took the little scenic train to St Ives (sit on the right hand side as you leave for the views) such an easy way to get there. Gilbert’s restaurant on the beach serves up tasty food and very close by. A great base to travel around Cornwall and also stay somewhere very special! Thank you Nick, can’t wait to come back!x

“Glanmor House and its paradise garden are truly exceptional. The beautifully decorated Victorian apartment sits within peaceful, private grounds; open the windows and you are greeted by the gentle, colourful chorus of hundreds of remarkable birds from around the world. Like the birds, red pandas and family of otters, we were welcomed by Nick and Ali with extraordinary warmth and care.
It was the perfect place to land and unwind after city life. The apartment is elegant, comfortable and very well suited to our four-year-old son, while our car could be parked safely within the grounds. After our morning ritual of greeting our favourite birds Ben, Max and Donald, we could reach St Ives, Tate St Ives, the Barbara Hepworth Museum, Penzance and Mousehole within about 25 minutes.
A magical stay in a place of rare beauty. We would love to return.”

Glanmore House Paradise Park

Imagine waking up in Cornwall to the sounds of exotic birds, even in the wintertime. A wonderful place to escape the everyday and rest, rejuvenate and recharge.

The ‘Paradise Apartment’ is within Glanmor House, which is nestled at the heart of Paradise Park Wildlife Sanctuary, home to the World Parrot Trust.

The award-winning sanctuary is home to an amazing collection of over 130 species of birds many of them parrots, plus Red Pandas, Asian Otters, Red Squirrels and farm animals.

This is your very own wildlife themed holiday! We can arrange for you to have entry to the Park during your holiday (see below), plus a guided tour by owner Nick Reynolds and exclusive access out of standard visiting hours.

Glanmor House was built by the famous ‘Harvey’s of Hayle’, who made beam engines for Cornwall’s tin mines. The sheltered Victorian walled garden made it the ideal place for Mike and Audrey Reynolds to start a paradise for birds back in 1973 where palms, tree ferns and a host of colourful exotic plants thrive.

About Hayle

Hayle is on Cornwall’s north coast, five miles from the holiday resort of St Ives and seventeen miles from Land’s End.

The town name ‘Hayle’ derives from the Cornish heyl, meaning estuary. Hayle’s position by the sea and its 3 miles of golden sandy beaches make it an ideal holiday destination. Gwithian beach near Godrevy is picturesque and a popular area for water sports including surfing, windsurfing and bodyboarding. The whole coast can be walked using the South West Coast Path, from St Ives to Hayle and on to Portreath via the cliffs known as Hell’s Mouth.

The estuary in Hayle is called the ‘Saltings’, and it can be viewed from afar while you are at Paradise Park. It is home to a wide variety of wetland birds and is especially famous for winter migrants.

The Towans sand dunes are home to many butterfly species, glow worms and orchids, and they are one of 57 nature reserves in Cornwall managed by the Cornwall Wildlife Trust.
