About this property
The Maisonette is quietly tucked away behind Hayle’s bustling main street, offering a sense of retreat while keeping you right in the heart of town life. Spread over two floors, this well-designed hideaway suits friends or families looking for an easy coastal base with character, space and the convenience of having everything close at hand. On the lower level, the layout feels calm and welcoming. A comfortable double bedroom provides a restful place to switch off after a day out, while the generous bathroom invites long soaks or refreshing showers, with both a bath and a separate shower to choose from.
It’s a practical, well-thought-out space that works just as well for longer stays as it does for short breaks. Upstairs, exposed beams add warmth and personality to the open-plan living area, creating a sociable hub where everyone can come together. The kitchen is well equipped for everyday cooking and holiday feasts alike, while the dining and seating areas encourage lingering breakfasts, shared meals and relaxed evenings on the sofas. The space has been arranged with comfort in mind and is being finished to ensure future guests enjoy a fresh, well-presented interior. A real bonus for such a central setting is the private off-road parking, making coming and going wonderfully straightforward.
Step outside and you’re immediately surrounded by Hayle’s cafés, pubs and restaurants, with the estuary and waterside walks close by for gentle strolls and sunset views. Hayle itself is a brilliant gateway to West Cornwall. Spend days wandering the art-filled streets of St Ives, visiting Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum before heading down to the beach. Discover Cornwall’s industrial past at Heartlands or King Edward Mine, enjoy woodland walks at Tehidy Country Park, or head to Penzance for Penlee House Gallery, the Jubilee Pool and promenade walks along Mount’s Bay. The Maisonette offers a welcoming and easy-going base for exploring the very best of West Cornwall.
Hayle is in the far-flung south western corner of Cornwall and sits on an important rspb wildlife estuary flowing out to the beautiful St Ives Bay, where visitors can enjoy three miles of golden sandy beaches, walks, history and wildlife. Hayle has plenty of activities out of the water too; Paradise Park is a wildlife park, home to some spectacular parrots, otters, and red pandas. Hayle has a range of shops, restaurants and bars scattered around the estuary and harbour area. There are skittles and karting for the family, and for golfers, one of the best links golf courses in Cornwall is at Lelant, a mile out of Hayle. But the jewel of Hayle is the three miles of golden sandy beach, with fantastic surfing at Gwithian where there is a surf shop, lessons and hire of equipment. For the less energetic there are beach cafés where you can take in the views and watch the children play. As Hayle is centrally located you can easily access many other places by either public transport (there is a train station at Hayle) or driving. St. Ives is a short drive away where you can wander through the narrow streets, visit the art galleries, or admire the colourful sub-tropical gardens. St Ives harbour has its own small fishing fleet and there are plentiful boat trips skippered by locals keen to showcase the best that Cornwall has to offer, whether it be seal watching at Seal Island, a couple of hours' mackerel fishing or a relaxing trip to Godrevy Lighthouse. Within easy reach of Hayle is the Minack Theatre, Falmouth Maritime Museum, Eden Project, St. Michael’s Mount and many other fantastic tourist attractions for dry or wet days.
