A lovely beach chalet, right on the coast at beautiful Riviere Towans in St Ives Bay, on the dramatic North coast of Cornwall.
The chalet can sleep up to four in a double room and bunk bedroom. Both bedrooms are furnished with comfortable duvets, bed-linen, plenty of pillows, and throws. We have stocked it with plenty of books for all ages as well as a few toys and games.
Originally built in the 1930s, the chalet has been carefully rebuilt and restored to retain all of its original wooden charm anxd more. The chalet has a lovely little patio at the back perfect for those sunny morning cuppas and a quiet read. We love it there and hope you do to.
Some comments from last years' guests...

"Thanks for creating such a perfect cornish hidaway.... We've had an epicurean adventure... we will be back!!
Jeni, Shamus, Fraya and Dylan.
"We have enjoyed our stay here at the Towans. We liked it because of its closeness to the sea..... We like the beach hut style chalet and the sofas very comfy."
Thank you from Euan (12) & Katie (10)
Great for family holidays, situated in the sand dunes at Riviere Towans. Situated along the southern end of three miles of golden sands. Stretching from Virginia Woolf's famous lighthouse at Godrevy to the naturalists' haven of Hayle estuary. It has safe, lifeguarded, swimming and surfing areas, tidal and rockpools, cliff-top coastal walks with stunning views and literally miles of golden sand – we think it's simply one of Cornwall's best beaches. It's also fantastic for serious windsurfer/surf breaks having a great wave break just out front in the right conditions. It makes a great out-of-season base for walking, fishing, seal-watching or simply regenerating.
Set in a quiet, picturesque, cluster of chalets on the edge of the Towans it's a great central spot. The beach is 5 minutes' away with a pub above the cliffs to watch those sun sets. Hayle has plenty of lovely shops to browse, pubs and resturants, all easy to get to along the coast path.
Or visit nearby St Ives, approx 20 minutes' away by car or from Hayle one of the best train rides you can do. St Ives with its narrow cobbled streets and funny names, shops, galleries, restaurants, harbour and beaches. Explore Lands End, Porthcurno and the Minack theatre, fishing villages and sandy coves; Falmouth the Helford River and its creeks, Eden, ... all this and more so easily accessible, north and south coast alike.
