  • Prime location just yards from the sandy beach at Hayle
  • Stunning views of St Ives bay
  • Access directly onto the South West Coastal Path at the end of the garden
  • Twenty-minute drive to St Ives with its galleries, restaurants, and shops
Property code: OC-VILLA

In an extraordinary location right by the wide, sandy beach at Hayle, with uninterrupted views across the beach and Carbis Bay to St Ives in the distance, this large bungalow property will provide a memorable setting for your classic North Cornish seaside holiday. The South West Coast Path runs just beyond the garden fence so you have access to miles of beautiful coastal walking. The property and the beach are dog-friendly so your four-legged friends can come along too.

 

With big, bright windows facing westwards to the sea, the amazing view and that distinctive North Cornish light wash right inside. The overriding feel is of space and comfort, with natural wood flooring and special touches like a telescope for wildlife watching, and graceful white drapes making the sitting room feel even brighter. Outside, there's a large paved patio area with seating and a small summerhouse, so fire up the BBQ and round off your beach day with sundowners and maybe some delicious sizzling grilled mackerel, in fine seaside style.

 

Because of the famous North Cornish light and landscape, there's a great tradition of local artists; they are showcased in many local galleries and at the Tate St Ives Gallery, 10 miles away. Hayle centre is 1 mile away on foot and has great shops and restaurants. For a different style of beach, Portreath, 10 miles away, lies between sheltering cliffs. Famous for its Atlantic swells, be sure to try your hand at surfing whilst in North Cornwall too. Or, visit spectacular St Michael's Mount, via picturesque Marazion in the very different landscape of the south coast, 11 miles away.

  • 3 bedrooms: 2 king size beds and a twin room
  • Bathroom with bath, shower, and heated towel rail (separate WC)
  • Electric cooker, ornamental Aga, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer
  • Private parking for three cars
  • TV, DVD and coal effect gas fire in the lounge 

     

  • Arrival: 14:30 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00
  • 4 dogs allowed. Additional charges may apply

This was our second visit. Property was clean and great to see the fence improvements in the garden. The beds are comfortable The garden is a great size and our dogs love it! Kitchen table is very tight for 6 people due to the island and the close proximity to the wall. But thats a very minor issue. Overs fabulous location and amazing views!

Location for beach great. Beds are comfy. Garden very insecure for dogs. Fence needs replacing rather than keep being repaired. Back door doesnt shut or lock without someone inside to shut it. Flooring could done with being replaced. Disappointed as it could be perfect but it needs some money spent on it. Grubby old garden chair dumped in driveway Read morewhen we arrived. Amount this cost for a week in august I expect it to be more presentable, and maybe at least a little welcome pack tea ect.

The location of this property is wonderful and because of this we enjoyed our stay. The direct access to the beach makes it a wonderful location and a great place to take dogs. However the property could do with some updating. Shower needs replacing, some sun loungers in the garden would be a good idea. General replacement of damaged/worn out fixtuRead moreres & fittings would be good. Windows hadn't been cleaned in a while and some windows need attention. Overall a pleasant stay, but could be better Hide
