Enjoy a glamorous break at this striking three-storey home sitting in a stylish complex of properties on the waterfront at Hayle Estuary – where you’ll find 3 miles of golden sand stretching out just 200 metres along the promenade. Sleeping six people across three bedrooms, it's ideal for families or groups who are looking for a stylish, surf-ready base to call home while they discover the extraordinary coastline between Hayle and the Godrevy headland together. Stroll along the promenade to Hayle Beach and then follow the sands north towards Gwithian (3.5 miles), where ponies canter through the shallows and grey seals haul up onto the rocks at Mutton Cove (5 miles). In the evening, come home to pull up a chair on the balcony, pour yourself a glass of something cool and crisp, and watch the tide turn in the estuary below.
Pull up in your private parking spot and head up the few steps to the front door of this split-level home. On the first floor, the open-plan lounge, dining area and kitchen is a genuinely beautiful space. Wall-to-wall glass slides back to reveal a balcony overlooking the water, a five-seater sofa and armchair face the Smart TV, the kitchen wraps around a stylish breakfast island with bar stools, and an elegant dining table provides the perfect excuse to host a fun family dinner. Head down to the ground floor and you’ll find a chic king-size bedroom with sliding doors that lead onto a lower balcony overlooking the estuary, and a handy twin bedroom. These rooms share a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. Up to the second floor, the elegant king-size master with an en-suite shower room occupies an open mezzanine overlooking the living area below through a glass rail (please note this is not suitable for young children). In the morning, sip your morning coffee on one of the two balconies and then head to the covered storage space to pick up your wetsuit and surfboard.
Stroll along the promenade to Hayle Beach (200 metres) and follow 3 miles of sand north to Godrevy Point, where the famous lighthouse stands on its small tidal island and the dunes behind the beach shelter a network of beautiful trails. Or head to Hayle station (0.5 miles) and take the train one stop to St Erth, where you can join the scenic 4.5-mile-long St Ives Bay branch line that hugs the shoreline all the way to St Ives. Alternatively, make your way to the National Trust headland at Godrevy (5 miles), to hike the clifftops above Mutton Cove, one of Cornwall's most reliable grey seal viewing spots.
