Surf Haven - Hayle

Chic, cosy and inspired by the ocean, this contemporary holiday annexe is perfect for couples hoping to discover the best of Cornwall with up to one furry friend tagging along. The property is set in the small coastal village of Phillack, and sits within just 8 miles of Hayle, Carbis Bay, and popular St Ives. Nearby Hayle (1.5 miles) offers a wide choice of unique shops, places to eat, and family attractions – including opportunities for waterside strolls along the RSPB’s Hayle Estuary. For days on the beach, guests are spoiled by the wealth of sandy options on their doorstep, including Mexico Towans Beach, The Towans, Upton Towans Beach, Gwithian Beach, and Godrevy Beach (all within 4 miles). Cover this entire stretch of shoreline with a bracing walk along the famous South West Coast Path (1 mile).

On entering this bijou property for two, you will first encounter its social heart, the open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner. Settle in the sumptuous seating after days of coastal adventure, flicking on the wall-mounted Smart TV or catching up on your holiday read. When stomachs start to rumble, find that the small but well-equipped kitchen boasts all you need to whip up a feast, perhaps using the seafood you sourced earlier in the day. Enjoy the chef’s work at the wheeled dining table inside or dine alfresco-style out in the enclosed garden. Completing the ground floor is a convenient utility room which leads to the well-appointed shower room with a walk-in shower and WC. At night, follow the stairs to the first floor to find a restful, king-size bedroom that sits under the eaves of the property and offers views across the surrounding fields. Guests can also make use of one private, off-road parking space.

Outside, make full use of the peaceful garden which is enclosed and furnished for your comfort and privacy. Use the table and chairs out here to enjoy al fresco morning coffees and evening meals, and when it gets chilly, fire up the impressive fire pit and sit under the stars.
