Gwynndreth

Follow the winding roads and arrive at a quiet corner of coastal luxury, where Gwynndreth welcomes you with panoramic sea views and a beautifully relaxed sense of style.

Inside, the house is full of character, with a timeless red, white and blue palette, warm oak floors and thoughtfully chosen details that reflect its stunning seaside setting.

The open plan living, dining and kitchen space has been carefully designed for holiday life in every season, creating a sociable and welcoming heart to the home.

The spacious kitchen is a joy for any budding chef, superbly equipped with ample storage and everything needed for leisurely holiday cooking, from simple suppers to celebratory feasts.

Choose to dine al fresco as the sun sets over the bay, or gather together around the chunky scrub-top dining table for lazy breakfasts and relaxed evenings spent lingering over good food and conversation.

Thoughtfully arranged seating areas create inviting spaces to unwind, giving larger parties room to spread out and relax away from the gentle hubbub of holiday life.

A circular dining table with comfortable wicker armchairs is perfectly positioned for morning coffee, where you can sit back and watch the ever-changing comings and goings across St Ives Bay.

Sink into the sofas beside the woodburner with a good book, or retreat to the tucked-away TV snug for a quiet evening in after a day on the coast.

At the rear of Gwynndreth, a charming king-size bedroom (zip and link) is dressed in cool coastal fabrics and served by an adjacent contemporary shower room.

A central wooden staircase leads to the apex of the house, where two beautiful principal bedrooms mirror one another in design and enjoy a wonderfully elevated position.

Indulgent super king-size beds (zip and link) promise a restful night’s sleep, while floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors open onto a wraparound balcony overlooking the bay.

The finest linens, inspired artwork and stylish en suite bathrooms complete the sense of luxury, creating restful spaces in which to unwind at the end of each salt-kissed day.

Make the very most of Gwynndreth’s exceptional setting, where a large, lush green lawn stretches down towards the coastal path and the sea beyond.

Step straight out from the living space and breathe in the salty air, with plenty of outdoor space in which to relax, play and soak up the beauty of this remarkable coastal location.

To the side of the house, a generous paved terrace with an outdoor dining table, six chairs and a built-in charcoal barbecue sets the scene for long, lazy lunches and relaxed suppers in the open air.

From the end of the garden, join the coastal path and wander down to the beach in just a few minutes, making every day by the sea feel effortlessly close.

Hayle Towans Beach is one of Cornwall’s most breathtaking stretches of coastline, with three miles of golden sand and sweeping views across the bay towards St Ives.

This spectacular beach is loved by surfers and kite surfers alike, and whether you choose to watch the action unfold from the comfort of your holiday home or head into the waves yourself, there is a wonderful sense of freedom here.

Nearby Hayle has much to offer, from artisan bakeries and cool cafes to the RSPB estuary, where wildlife thrives among the ever-changing tides.

For a memorable day out, take advantage of the Park and Ride from Saltings Reach and hop on the branch line train into the cosmopolitan coastal town of St Ives, with its picturesque harbour, boutique shops, galleries and tempting places to eat.

We recommend a visit to The Cove Cafe, Hayle’s much-loved year-round addition, just a short distance from Gwynndreth and owned by Rupert Cooper, founder of the award-winning Philleigh Way Cookery School.

Whether you are travelling as a smaller party or filling the house with family and friends, swap city living for barefoot beach days and enjoy a luxury coastal escape with an unmistakable seaside twist.
