Our spacious flat is perfectly situated
for those looking for a seaside holiday as it is on the cliff top
above the glorious 3 miles of sandy beach on St Ives Bay at Riviere
Towans. Here you can enjoy lots of different beach activities. The
coast path also passes right in front of our garden so it’s an excellent
spot for making forays into the dunes or around the estuary if you
are feeling energetic. It has proved very popular with families,
with surfers and with painters, some of whom come back every year.
Our flat is being newly decorated and furnished
for 2008 and has many interesting beachy features for a fun holiday
in comfortable surroundings. We have parking for 2 vehicles on our
own gravelled courtyard and access is up a flight of exterior stairs.

The Lounge is a large, bright, south facing
room with a sofa (which folds down to make an occasional double
bed), a set of directors’ chairs in ice cream stripes, a small tv
with dvd player, and a round games table complete with a selection
of playing cards, board games, and books. From this room you can
see over the estuary and beach to Porth Kidney sands and the hills
beyond. Sometimes we have a group of dolphins playing in the bay,
and last year we had numerous visits from basking sharks. You can
watch the brightly painted little fishing boats going in and out
when the tide is right, and often we have wind and kite surfers
with their colourful sails to entertain us in the shallows. You
will find a pair of binoculars on the window seat to increase the
fun! We will leave you paints and crayons in case you feel the need
to put it on paper! We often have artists staying and you can see
some of their masterpieces on the walls!
Separate Kitchen
Here we have a large kitchen/
diner with cooker, fridge and freezer, microwave, etc., and a round
dining table with seating for six (and Cath Kidston tablecloth).
There is plenty of new equipment for preparing and serving meals.
Please note that there is no dishwasher. There is also a rack for
hanging raincoats and wetsuits, plus an outside storage area for
surfboards and other beach equipment.
There are 2 bedrooms, the first with a
double bed and cot, and the second with a pair of single beds and
a pair of bunk beds. Both have wardrobes and wash basins and the
view from the dormer windows across St Ives Bay to Carbis Bay, St
Ives and the sunset. It really is a fab view!
Outside
We provide you with a barbeque and a set of wooden garden furniture
(table and seating for 4 painted in a lovely nautical blue) on the
wide lawn facing the beach. There is a windbreak and various pieces
of beach equipment, including a picnic basket, vacuum flask, bodyboards,
buckets and spades, etc. provided at the beginning of the season
at Easter. Please let us know if you can think of anything else
you may need to make your holiday more comfortable, and we’ll see
what we can do! Please note that you’ll need to bring your own linen.
A single dog is welcome out of season at a cost of £25 per week.
We are open all year, with short breaks available from October to
Easter. Our changeover day is Friday, and tariffs are between £200
and £550 a week.
