Hillcrest, a charming family chalet situated in Hayle, Cornwall, offers an idyllic coastal retreat for up to six guests. This three-bedroom accommodation is perfectly positioned atop sand dunes, providing stunning 180-degree panoramic views of the sea, stretching from St Ives to Godrevy lighthouse. The chalet is not overlooked, ensuring privacy for its occupants, and is conveniently located just a short walk from a beautiful, lifeguarded beach that boasts three miles of golden sand. Ideal for various beach activities such as surfing, body boarding, and kite surfing, the beach also features safe swimming areas for children, with natural rock pools available during low tide.
The outdoor space at Hillcrest enhances the holiday experience, with a large grassed area in front of the chalet equipped with a picnic bench for alfresco dining after a day at the beach. For those who prefer dining out, local options include The Bluff pub, which overlooks the beach, and Lula Shack along the estuary, known for its delicious food and cocktails. The surrounding area, recognized for its world heritage status, is celebrated for its outstanding natural beauty, making it an excellent base for exploring the diverse attractions of Cornwall.
Riviere Towns, where Hillcrest is located, is characterized by its well-maintained, uncommercialized environment featuring individual chalets and several safe play areas for children. A general store is conveniently located within a two-minute walk, and a beach café at the top of the cliffs provides snacks and refreshments. The town of Hayle offers a good selection of restaurants and pubs, along with three large supermarkets that provide free parking, making it easy for guests to stock up on essentials during their stay.
While Hillcrest is a fantastic option for families looking to enjoy the beauty of Cornwall, it is important to note that its elevated position may not be suitable for individuals with restricted mobility. Bookings are typically from Saturday to Saturday, although shorter stays and mid-week breaks during the off-season are considered. The area is rich in cultural attractions, with highlights including St. Ives Theatre and the Barbara Hepworth Museum, as well as opportunities for kayaking, scuba diving, and hiking in the picturesque surroundings, ensuring a memorable and relaxing holiday experience.
