Great location and sensibly priced dog friendly cabin

This beach hut is value for money. Great location. Compact. Dog friendly. We have returned for a second visit because we couldn’t find anywhere that tops this place. Will definitely return again.

Interesting and well equipped property in wonderful location

Had a great time revisiting an old favourite, both dogs were in their element on the three miles of Beach.As to be expected, a bit hit and miss with places open and the increase in hospitality prices is more pronounced in St Ives.The cottage/chalet had all we required and felt very homely, thank you.

Pool chalet was such an amazing place to stay. Pristine throughout. Everything you needed was catered for. It was so peaceful. Great walks from the door!! Comfortable bed which always helps. So happy to be allowed to bring the dogs to stay there too as they loved it as much as we did ❤️ Truely did not want to leave!!!! Hope to be able to book again soon. 😁😁😁😁😁

The property was perfect for our needs. The views were great. Ours was an Autumn stay so didnt use the garden but it must be lovely in the summer.....secure and no paths or road directly outside. Not overlooked...parking private and spacious...the property had everything you could need....clean...comfortable...great access to the beach and coast path. (We no longer have dogs ....i did think that i may have been worried about them bringing too much sand or wet inside as the door opens directly into the kitchen diner...so recommend taking plenty of dog towels). We have been staying on the same site for about 14 years in a row but the chalet we used to rent is no longer available....this was an even better alternative so we will definitely try and use it again. The host was in touch before and during our stay to wish us a happy stay and to check we has everything we needed. No negatives at all.

Summer hols

The location of the property is without question absolutely amazing. The beach is only a few mins walk away which means you can pop down at anytime. Being further up the lane means there isn’t a lot of passing traffic so feels nice and quiet. The property has everything you need for your hols. The kitchen if anything has too much stuff in it and feels a little cluttered - there wasn’t anywhere to put anything. The decking at the back of the property needs attention, there where areas of rotten wood which was splintering and looks a little scruffy. The brambles on the other side of the fence are spoiling the beautiful view and could do with cutting back. Please note these are only little things for information- we had a fab week and the location is stunning.

Thanks Sally for your review. Really pleased you had a great stay. In response to your comments. The brambles and other flora the other side of the fence is an area of protected habitat. It may seem wild but it holds much unique protected flora and fauna that has been the subject of recent biodiversity surveys that will support future management and protection in a vulnerable dunes location. Regarding the decking, this has been checked recently and remains a great seating area looking over to the bay and lighthouse. However it is being replaced in September to ensure longevity for the next few years. The kitchen space is a balance of providing a well equipped kitchen in a beach chalet to give guests flexibility in how they use the chalet. I will look to provide another shelving unit in addition to the cupboard space given your feedback. Thanks again

A lovely chalet with direct views across the dunes to Gwithian Beach and Godrevy Lighthouse. The chalet is really well equipped and has everything you need - even down to a coffee machine! A very comfortable stay and Louise was prompt in answering questions. Would highly recommend.

Perfect place to relax

We have visited Gwithian towans for many years staying with friends in their chalet and were delighted to stay here now our family groups have expanded to include other halves! The chalet was just perfect, cosy, comfy bedrooms, a very well equipped kitchen, nice bathroom and amazing location. Can there be a more perfect spot for the morning cuppa than the deck overlooking the lighthouse? We hope to return!
