About this property
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.

About the host
Hosted by Louise Farmer

I am a professional living in London with my three sons and two dogs. Holidaying in Gwithian has been in our family for a couple of generations, and Chalet Pool has now become a part of that too.
I will liaise with you personally prior to your stay, to ensure your visit to the chalet is as best as can be.

Why they chose this property
My family and I have often spoke about having a place of our own in Gwithian. Chalet Pool is now just that. It is a place where I holidayed as a child, explored the landscape and rockpools, and then holidayed with our children, more exploring, who now love to come to the Towans as young adults, to chill, as do I.
It is a place where all who visit say the scenery is breathtaking, with each month taking on a new dimension of rawness, colour and beauty, be it the waves crashing over the lighthouse, the beach contours, or the colours of dawn over the hills and the sunsets out west.
It is a place where memories are made and cherished, and Chalet Pool will be a part of future memories too. It is somewhere different to be a part off, a beautiful place with outstanding views of many landscapes - the sea, Godrevy Lighthouse, St Ives, the horizon, the hills and adjacent farmland. An amazing all round view from the front and back of the property.
It is a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday chores and work. Relax, enjoy, chill, love.

What makes this property unique
Chalet Pool is conveniently situated on the Towans, within a couple of minutes walk of the dunes and the beach. It is set in a quiet and tranquil location, amidst priority coastal sand dune habitat and local nature reserves. It is free from passing traffic and pedestrians.
Gwithian Towans is set within a beautiful location of outstanding natural beauty and is part of three miles of sandy beach that stretches from Godrevy to Hayle. It is an ideal place for families as there are many rock pools to explore, and in the summer season the beach is patrolled by life guards. There is a designated surfing area for those with bigger surf boards, and surf competitions are held from time to time in Gwithian. It is a great location for bird watchers.
The dunes are great for dog walking. Some areas of the beach are restricted for dogs during certain parts of the day in the summer months (July and August 10am to 6pm). however the beach is 3 miles long, and there is still plenty of beach very close by where the dogs can be walked or can run freely.
Close by are three lovely cafes (the Jam Pot, Sunset Surf and Gwithian Cafe - opening times vary during the low season), and a good pub - the Red River Inn which has been recently refurbished..
