Accessibility
The house is accessed via steps from the gravel driveway. The house is over three storeys. Please note that the shortest walk back from town is up a very steep hill and the beach is accessed down a steep sand dune.
Outside

BBQ and large outdoor table with 6 chairs and parasol are in the garden for your use. Parents: please be aware that there is a small pond and a greenhouse at the bottom of the garden so small children will need to be supervised.
Coast/Beach
The local beach (St Ives Bay) is a 10 minutes walk through private lanes & over grassland. With simply stunning views it is ideal for long walks - to Gwithian for a cup of hot chocolate in the Sunset Cafe, or further to the National Trust-run Godrevy Cafe overlooking the lighthouse. The beach is patrolled by lifeguards in summer and is very safe to swim at thanks to the lack of rocks and gently sloping soft sand. Many other beaches and secluded bays within 20 mile radius.

Newquay Airport 33 miles/45 mins away (the local car hire company can deliver a vehicle to the airport). Use of a car is recommended to explore the many attractions, although not necessary as town has shop, post office, pubs, restaurants, and there is a good train and bus network.

About the owner
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.
Year purchased: 2008
Why the owner chose a home in this location
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, with a 12th century church, one pub and access over the dunes to the amazing beach of St Ives Bay. The beach is a constant source of things to do, whether it's surfing, kite flying, walking or going for coffee in the nearby Sunset cafe at Gwithian. Hayle itself has everything you need - supermarkets, shops restaurants and parks - as well as a train station. The whole area is packed with coves, beaches and attractions to explore - Lands End, St Michael's Mount and St Ives to name few - and being so far west, you can reach the south coast within 20 minutes. It's just a beautiful part of the world.
Unique benefits of the property
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 walking distance in one direction to the beach, and in the other to town for the Co-op supermarket and other amenities.
We've kitted the house out with everything we would want for a relaxing break, so hope other people find it has everything they need like a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and little useful things you can borrow like games, jigsaws, maps, wellies and umbrellas.
