About this property
Detached 4-bedroom house close to beach and town with beautiful private garden.
Hidden gem: detached, family-friendly house set in a quiet position yet close to the beach, pubs, supermarkets and town. Private, south-facing garden planted with lovely sub-tropical plants, with fabulous estuary views. Upper patio area and lawn with BBQ and outdoor furniture. Steps down to a large, flat lower lawn (big enough to play football or badminton!). The house is set back from the road with a private driveway for up to 3 cars.
The house has an open plan living and dining area and separate kitchen, renovated in 2023. There is a utility room with washing machine and downstairs toilet. On the first floor is a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a twin bedroom, a WC and a separate family bathroom with shower and bath (renovated in 2021). Some narrow stairs lead to the attic where there is a twin bedroom and one small single room, with a fold out z-bed that can be used for an 8th guest (please note this is a small space and only suitable for children or adults who know each other really well:-)). The twin beds in two of the rooms can be pushed together and made up as doubles if you prefer.
The house is opposite a famous local pub called the Bucket of Blood, which serves lovely food, and a short walk to Hayle town for shops. Supermarkets, restaurants, train station, recreation ground/adventure playground & other amenities are all within walking distance.
The beautiful, 3-mile-long sandy beach is just a 15 min walk through private lanes & grassy dunes or you can drive 5 minutes to the bluff or Gwithian beach. The beach has safe water for swimming (no rocks or currents) and rarely get busy. It offers great views to St Ives and the Godrevy lighthouse and lovely walks along to Gwithian. Patrolled by lifeguards in the summer months, the beach is ideal for all water-sports, especially surfing and kite boarding.
The house is in a great location for exploring all Cornwall has to offer: stunning coastal walks, secluded beaches, National Trust properties and other attractions nearby. Paradise Park is less than a mile away. The house is perfect for families or groups of adults wishing to relax and unwind in this beautiful part of the world.
We always strive to make the house welcoming and comfortable for our visiting families and our guests. We have recently renovated three of the four bathrooms, added new sofas in the living room, fitted a new patio and revamped the kitchen. We have also recently replaced all the fencing and fitted a new boiler. The kitchen is fitted with all mod cons so you can feel right at home.
We are very proud of our garden which we have been perfecting for the last 8 years; with a mix of native and semi-tropical plants there should always be something in bloom all year round. Children should particularly enjoy the secure, private level lower lawn for playing football, badminton or just running around!
Sorry but no smokers or pets allowed due to family allergies. Drone flying in the garden is strictly prohibited.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Julie Davison

Work keeps us and our young twin boys away from Cornwall for the moment, but we spend as much time as we can in this beautiful part of the world and hope one day to live here permanently.
Why they chose this property
We have great friends in Cornwall and it was while visiting them that we fell in love with Phillack. It's a lovely (and little known) village on the hill overlooking the estuary & Hayle. We couldn't believe that such a place existed yet isn't totally over-run by tourists! Easy to reach by train or on the A30 (with no windy one-track roads to navigate like in other areas of Cornwall!) it's just a beautiful part of the world. We couldn't believe our luck when this house came on the market, in such a great location but with such privacy and with estuary views. Now we've added the wood-burning stove and equipped it with everything we need for a relaxing break, it's our favourite place in the world, and we love hearing how others have enjoy it too.
What makes this property unique
The best thing about the house is the garden. With a terraced lawn overlooking the estuary & Hayle, it's completely private and gets the sun most of the day... a wonderfully peaceful place to relax. The second best thing is the pub opposite the house! It is a quiet 'country' pub, renowned in the area for great food (in high season) and good ale. The other main benefit of the house is it's location: within walking distance in one direction to the beach, and in the other to town for the Co-op supermarket, surf shop and other amenities.
We've kitted the house out with everything we would want for a relaxing break, so hope other people find that it has everything they need. A fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and little useful things you can borrow like games, jigsaws, maps and umbrellas, as well as games and toys for kids should hopefully help people enjoy their stay.
