Lovely beach hut!

A lovely property, quirky, quaint and homely 1940s feel (but with all the mod cons). The owner couldn't have been more helpful. Location was stunning, when it says minutes from the beach that's literally the truth .... and what a beach!

Beautiful little house by the sea

The house has been lovingly restored and is the perfect blend of "homely' and "beachy" for the relaxing holiday feeling by the sea. Really thoughtfully designed and has everything you need. The short stroll to the beach was a joy everyday as the views are breathtaking. Gorgeous sands and crystal clear ocean, what else could you ask for! Tamsyn was very responsive and helpful with any questions before and during our stay. The local area is lovely and Hayle has all the conveniences you could think of, we highly recommend this holiday home : )

Lovely place for a family holiday by the beach

Great location 5 minutes walk downhill to a lovely beach. Chalet was comfortable and generally well equipped would have personally preferred a washing machine but the launderette in Hayle is good. Our daughter loved all the toys and the porch . Close to lots to see and do in West Cornwall. The double bed was very comfortable but the beds in the bunk are a little tired feeling and could do with a good airing but probably ok for kids. Lots of character and charm to the chalet and would recommend for a family holiday by the beach.

Perfect for family fun holidays near the sea!

Gorgeous little, nautical themed beach chalet - such a cheerful place to stay. It’s cosy and quaint, with good facilities for self catering. It was clean and welcoming and Tamsin is excellent at responding to messages quickly. We had a very happy time there (when we weren’t out and about exploring beautiful Cornwall!). It was always lovely to come home to our bright blue chalet everyday! We made good use of the kitchen and even had a rainy day game of Cluedo round the table together, which was provided in the games cupboard. The walk to the beach is easy and quick, bringing you out at the stunning Hayle estuary. The beach is ideal for young children as it has small areas of shallow water, that warms up nicely for a paddle and there’s a steep sand dune that provides a great sand toboggan run using a body board as a sledge! Great fun had by all!

A perfect place for a beach holiday

We had a great week at the blue hut in Hayle. As I originally come from Carbis Bay I knew the area and was aware of how beautiful Hayle and the surrounding countryside is. It was a pleasure to find this wonderful little hut (which was perfect for my family and myself - Partner and 2 pre-teens). It was clean, well-equipped and in a perfect location: It is only 5 minutes walk to the beach. The interior is very tastefully put together, a nice blend of maritime and shabby-chic - but without being tacky or oldy-worldy. The kitchen appliances were perfect and we were able to store food for picnics and cook for ourselves if we so wished. However, there are plenty of good chippies, pubs and restaurants around (The Bluff Inn on the way to the beach is fine for a burger and beer). There is a large grass area 1 minute in front of the hut and we played there most evenings. The surf was good on the beach too! When it was cloudy we wore our wetsuits. The communication with Tamsin was great, she was very helpful and informative in preparing everything before our stay and made us feel at home. I can 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic stay in Cornwall. There are so many holiday home owners demanding 3000 Euros per week for a house and those people are denying local people from buying houses. So rent a holiday hut/chalet for the week, get down on the beach, see the sights you want to see and relax! Kernow bys vykken

The beach hut

Had a lovely stay in this charming beach chalet at hayles towans. The hut had all the basics. Bathroom is compact but very usable. Everything you need is there and the 1930s furniture adds to its charm.

Wonderful in every way

The beach hut is as wonderful as the Cornish scenery! It’s a perfect location for travelling around, but with the beach a stones throw away why would you want to leave? The property has everything that you will need for your stay. The host was delightful, and any correspondence was answered straightaway. Plus a chance encounter in porthleven harbour! Which is well worth checking out while there. The Sandy beach is amazing and the water crystal clear, with no pebbles much seaweed or litter in fact!

The Beach Hut

The property was well stocked with kitchen items, but we needed more tea-towels (had to buy some extra as we didn't bring any). The Fridge light did not work either. The upper areas were very dusty but generally it was clean. The shower was lovely but the mirror was too high for my husband to use to shave (we moved a mirror from the bedroom to the shower room). We had a problem with the bathroom light and it was fixed very quickly and with no issues. Overall a lovely place to stay- but be prepared to be woken by seagulls - they were very very loud.

Excellent getaway

We had a lovely week's stay despite majority of our stay in Cornwall being wet and windy! Lovely little beach hut, kitchen was so very well equipped which was a bonus as we cooked most nights due to current restrictions. Great location, lovely sunsets when the clouds cleared. We had a great stay, loved this little retro chalet and would love to stay if we visit Cornwall again. Thank you Tamsyn!

The Beach Hut getaway

Had a great stay here with my son it was so peaceful.A great little chalet full of character that is situated right up from great surf beaches. The owners are very hands on too. We had a lovely week exploring all over the bottom end of Cornwall despite the weather and this is a great base for that and St Ives. Duckies in Hayle by the quay is a must if you want a great breakfast experience. We will be back .

Lovely retro chalet close to the sea. Room for family with children. Bunk bed slightly small for a third adult but arrangements made clear in the chalet spec. Good location to explore the sw peninsula & quiet location on the site in early September.

Lovely chalet in a beautifull area

Lovely chalet with everything you need for a family holiday. Well cleaned and with all kitchen utensils you may need if you decide to cook. So good for families as kids have several kids play areas in the park & it's safe and quiet area. Very well located, as it was less than 10m "slow" walk to the beach. If Driving to Cornwall its a perfect stay as you simply get all you need with supermarkets close by and then park for free and simply walk to beach.... It's is also well located to explore, 15m drive from St Yves and also have a few other lovely places within a 45m drive, that you can visit if the weather is not at its best... We loved it and recommend for families!
