This contemporary two-bedroom second-floor apartment overlooks the Hayle estuary in west Cornwall, with a large sun terrace framing the river and its shifting tides. Well placed for couples or a small family seeking a coastal break, the beach is 200 metres along the promenade. 3 miles of golden sand stretch from Hayle Towans to Godrevy Point, where the lighthouse rises bright white from its rocky outcrop above a National Trust headland – home to a grey seal colony at Mutton Cove. Further along the coast, Gwithian Beach offers flat, open sand where ponies are often seen cantering through the shallows. Back in Hayle, the Saltings nature reserve is a prime birdwatching spot for murmurations during the shoulder months. The town also has a watersports centre, and the swimming pool is 100 metres from the apartment. Carbis Bay and St Ives are accessible by train on the scenic coastal route.
The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space runs the full width of the apartment, with doors opening directly onto the sun terrace. A three-seater sofa and armchair face a Smart TV, with a DVD player also available, and the dining area sits beside wide windows where an oak table and bench seating look out over the estuary. Beyond, the kitchen includes a breakfast bar with two stools taking in the sea views. A separate utility room leads off to one side. In the master bedroom, a super-king-size bed sits alongside a built-in wardrobe and dressing table. The en-suite shower room has a walk-in shower and WC. The second bedroom has a super-king-size zip-and-link bed that can be configured as two singles, alongside a built-in wardrobe and bedside tables. The family bathroom includes a bath with shower over the bath, a heated towel rail, and a WC.
The large terrace is furnished with a sofa and lounge set, an outdoor dining table with six chairs, and two sun loungers. A sun terrace on the top floor of the development, shared with other guests, provides further views across the estuary. Parking is designated for one car.
