Stunning beach-side chalet with a lighthouse view - Gwithian Towans, St Ives Bay

For families, for couples, for friends, for pets. For you.

Chalet Pool is a traditional beach-side wooden chalet situated in a beautiful location at Gwithian Towans which is part of the West Cornwall Heritage Site. It directly overlooks St Ives Bay and the rugged Cornish coastline, voted as one of the top 4 views to be had in the UK (and the Atlantic Ocean, Godrevy Lighthouse, the nature reserve and National Trust land, as well as local hills and farmland. It is a place to relax and take in the outstanding views.

The 3 mile beach is less than 5 minutes walk away and is one of the best surf spots and sandy beaches in the UK. The rockpools are there to explore, and the coastal path lets you experience the habitat of the dunes more fully. Plus - the cafes on the towans, the village pub in Gwithian, and the bar and grill at Godrevy are all within walking distance too. What more could you want for a stay in Cornwall. It is quite simply idyllic.

The property sleeps 6 in 4 bedrooms (2 doubles both with views to the Lighthouse, and 2 singles).

It is a very well equipped chalet, tastefully extended and recently refurbished to a high standard, whilst maintaining a home from home feel.

It has a fully enclosed private garden, decked patio area, surfboard secure storage, hot/cold outside shower, designated parking for 2 cars, free wifi, TV/DVD, wireless speaker system. There is a large kitchen diner with built in oven, hob, large fridge freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. There is a separate living room also with views to Godrevy Lighthouse where the patio doors can be widely opened for access onto the decking for added alfresco dining. The landscape is truly a partner with Chalet Pool.

No smoking / vaping is allowed in the chalet, outbuilding or surrounding gardens.

Well behaved and fully house trained dogs are accepted by prior agreement.

I have many guests that return year after year, as they fall in love with the chalet, as it becomes their home for their getaway. If you have any questions, please just get in touch. I endeavour to keep the availability calendar as up to date as possible.

Enquiries for future years welcome. Please note that the school holiday weeks often get booked up very early where we value our many regular guests who book from one year to the next.

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.

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.

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!

Great retreat!
Ideally situated in the dunes on the edge of the community with views of the lighthouse and sea, and a short walk to the beach to surf and exercise the dog. The chalet is excellently equipped with all the kitchen, dinning and entertainment equipment you require to make your stay easy and relaxed. Well maintained clean and cosy chalet which is dog friendly and secure with parking for two cars.
