The Big Beach House is our best holiday
property, being the whole of a large colonial-style villa
built for a sea captain in 1908. It stands in the finest position
with its own private lane and lawns just above the wonderful
3 mile sandy beach at Riviere Towans, and commands wonderful
uninterrupted views westerly across St Ives Bay to the sunset.
It is adjacent to the coast path with wonderful sand dunes
in one direction and the fascinating Hayle estuary in the
other.
|
|
| The magnificent beach is ideal for anyone looking
for a seaside holiday. It offers bathing (with lifeguards in season),
surfing, wind and kitesurfing and many other watersports. There are
also tidal lagoons providing warmer water for little ones, and a beach
café for refreshments. We often have visits from dolphins and basking
sharks, and we provide binoculars to enhance the view! |
| The house belongs to an architect, who has designed
it as a stylish surfers' pad, so it is bright and comfortably furnished,
and while it does not offer luxurious accommodation, it does have
all facilities including oil central heating, and is, we believe,
a comfortable and relaxing venue. All the rooms are very spacious,
with high ceilings, ornate ceiling roses, and tiled, painted or seagrass
floors. |
|
|
| The main entrance is the Conservatory, which contains
a dining table and chairs. There are extra folding chairs here for
larger parties and for use in the garden. There's a large Playroom
which has a window seat, a piano for sing songs, sofa, and a huge
games table with a selection of board games, cards and books. There
is comfortable seating in the large Lounge, where you will find a
flat screen TV with DVD player, and fab views from the 12 foot wide
folding sliding patio doors. These open out on to the flat lawn where
there's a set of cream painted wooden garden furniture for you to
enjoy. Inside there are driftwood pictures and artworks by local painters
including some left by our happy holidaymakers! |
| Our Kitchen faces south and has a window seat
with a view down to the beach. There is a small dining table with
chairs for 4, plus a high chair, so it makes an ideal place for feeding
the children. The kitchen is fully equipped with washer/dryer, fridge,
freezer and dishwasher, etc. |
