Bike store. No smoking.. Bee Cottage is in a small village Reawla in Hayle offering comfortable accommodation in a traditional stone cottage, with an inviting open plan living area downstairs. The property is set away from the road making it quiet and a great place to chill, the garden is private for children and dogs to run around. The cottage has also benefitted from a recent refurbishment providing a comfortable retreat after a long day exploring beautiful Cornwall. The owners have provided hanging space in an outside building for wetsuits etc, and there is plenty of room outside for bikes, paddle boards and surfboards.
After a busy day, out relax in the garden with a drink. There is so much to do here, you are very close to Gwithian beach, ideal for families as there are always rock pools for little ones to play in. The beach is flat but tidal, at high tide part of the beach will be cut off. There is a walk from the car park. The beach is lifeguarded during the summer season. The café opposite is always welcome after the trek back to the car!
Carbis Bay, Porthminster and Porthmeor beach are approximately 3 miles away, both flat and sandy, great for families. Gwithian and Godrey beaches are popular with surfers, also great for children as there are plenty of rock pools to explore. St Ives just over three miles away, is a great day out with cobbled streets leading to the harbour; there are so many places to eat and drink here offering choice for everyone. Small independent shops are great if you are looking for a gift or just something different. Hayle has a beautiful estuary and Copperhouse Creek, ideal for birdwatching and walking with plenty of places to eat, it is unusual as it is just one street.
Whilst you are here you must eat a pasty either at Philp’s - sit and eat in the car watching the harbour or Foundry Shop and sit on a bench at Mill Pool. For a change of scenery visit Birds of Paradise in Hayle, a fun day for everyone with an indoor play area for little ones - great of the weather is not great. It has a small railway, a petting area, a wide selection of birds and animals and during peak season has flying displays. If you want to enjoy the scenery, head for Lelant Saltings Station described as the most scenic railway in Britain.
Not forgetting our four-legged friends, there are dog friendly beaches in Hayle, Cornwall · Mexico Towans, Rinsey Cove, Godrevy, Hayle, Mounts Bay, Prussia Cove, Carbis Bay. You will find that there is so much to see and do you will be booking another visit!

Lovely old Cornish cottage. Good location, 40 minutes from Newquay, 15/20 minutes from St Ives and Mount Cove,. Good garden, secure for dogs. You pay for what you get. Good price for 4 nights. Smells musty in kitchen cupboards. Bathroom needs an overhaul!

A beautiful cottage! We received a email a day before of our arrival with location and access information. Cottage was easy to find and good size parking space for 2 medium size cars. You enter through the garden and this was a lovely size (bigger than it looks in the photos) well maintained and lovely decor (could do with an out door light - even a hot tub to relax in after a busy day adventuring 😁 there is pretty solar lights) good out door seating and a BBQ (we didn’t use) We stepped into the cottage and we were amazed - photos don’t do it justice! Welcome pack - yummy scones / jam and cream, even a jar of treats for the dog. Good seating area (my parents did struggle to get off the sofa 🙈) good size kitchen, The hosts have provided so much that I haven’t seen others do within the kitchen area (only thing missing was a washing machine - there is a Launderettes in Hayle)2 good sized bedrooms - double room good storage and comfortable bed (did struggle to plug in Amazon stick as chest of draws are tight to the wall plug) second room with x2 single beds comfortable and a area to hang clothes. Bathroom - bath tube with over head shower (shower was amazing) we did come across with a slight problem - after our showers, there was a small leak on the kitchen beam (made host aware who quickly arranged for someone to attend) Location - 15mins to 25mins drive to many beaches / towns / harbours. We have to say Gwithian Beach was one of our favourites and we visited here every evening with our Cavapoo STUNNING! We visited - Hayle small town (Most Visit Philip’s Famous Pasty’s Amazing - The Copper House Inn good pub food ) St Ives Beautiful but busy (go early!) Porthleven (one of our favourite harbour’s)St Agnes first time here Beautiful (must visit Churchtown Arts / Little Feathers Art) Perranporth Busy! (leave early) Penzance great for shopping (definitely visit The Front Room - outstanding service) I would like to say a BIG thank you to the Hosts! Stunning cottage and you’ve have done so much to ensure everyone has a great stay - We visit Cornwall every year and your cottage has topped it so far - we have already book to come back in May! 😁
