The Location
The holiday park is one of the oldest in the country, with the first chalets constructed in the early 1920s. Now a beautiful site with a vast range of unique, quirky and privately owned accommodation, including beach chalets, bungalows and lodges. Many have stunning sea views and all are within a few minutes walk of the beach.
On the doorstep
Walk the coastal path at low tide all the way along the beach from Hayle river mouth to the Cliff tops of Godrevy and the surf break at Gwithian where you'll find great food and drinks from cocktails to coffees, ice creams and fresh seafood at the local cafes and restaurants.
For those seeking surf, beginners to experienced surfers and bodyboarders can enjoy doorstep breaks at Hayle Rivermouth and Mexico Towans, both within walking distance of the park. Paddle boarding and kayaking on the Estuary, as well as kitesurfing and windsurfing are popular all year round.
Hayle is home to the RSPB Hayle Estuary Reserve, Paradise Park Wildlife Sanctuary, Hayle Lido, ice cream parlours, gift shops, great food (including Cornwall's best Pasties from Philps), pubs and supermarkets.
Further Afield
Take the coastal train from St Erth to St. Ives, and visit The Tate & Barbara Hepworth museums. Visit Newlyn Harbour and Fish market for the best in Cornish Fish. Wander around the historical market town of Penzance, taking in the Harbour and Egyptian House or take a day trip to Lands End and coastal walk to Sennen Cove.
Find your way to Knill's Monument and Steeple Woodland Nature reserve, a 40 acre public open space which overlooks St Ives Bay before making your way down to Carbis Bay for fabulous food, drinks and its sheltered beach.
Cornwall has always been a favourite of artists, writers and film producers and its rugged coasts and beautiful coves have featured in numerous films and TV series most recently, the popular Poldark series.

Basic and not the most comfortable
I'm a little conflicted about this chalet. It's sweet enough, but very basic compared to other places we have stayed in for a similar price. It does have a lovely view which must be stated as a big plus! It was a little grubby, nothing awful. The place just needs a freshen up really. The boiler doesn't run enough hot water to even rub a full sink to wash up with and even then it runs lukewarm. The hot water tap in the bathroom runs yellowish. The sofas are shallow and uncomfortable. The beds were all fitted with plasticy waterproof sheets which make them sweaty and slidy to sleep in. I appreciate mattresses should be covered in a situation like this but there is no need for this discomfort. The double bedroom is incredibly tight. You can see from the photo the bed is pushed against the wall but it doesn't show the very small walkway the other side of the bed. Adults can barely pass each other or get dressed etc. we are average size people and we found it tricky. The top bunk in the child's room is frankly dangerous too. There is no rail to prevent a child falling. I guess you can see that from the pictures too but it was worse than I expected when I saw it in person. We never received our message about check in either so had to chase up our log in code which was a little stressful. The walk to the beach is also longer than stated. Not a problem nessescarily, but certainly a disappointment. We won't be back to stay here unfortunately.

Just what we needed
My first time away in Cornwall and what a lovely place Cornwall is, Hayle came highly recommended and where we stayed with homeAway/Tom's holidays just made it so much better, great location with a vast view of the beach and coast line, central to all what I wanted to do. The chalet/unit we stayed in was a good size and well furnished with everything you could want and need, the staff were helpful when needed, would def go there again and recommend them to other people... Great holiday and great memories

Tolle Lage
Die Kommunikation mit den Vermieter war ausgezeichnet. Die Ausstattung ist gut. Das Schlafzimmer ist aber zu klein, ein sehr schmales Bett (120 cm?)und ein kleiner Schrank, das war es. Im Kinderzimmer sind auch noch 5 große Schubladen um Sachen unterzubringen. Das Badezimmer ist auch sehr klein. Keine Möglichkeiten, um Handtücher aufzuhängen, keine Haken oder so. Sollte es kalt werden, gibt es ausreichend Möglichkeiten das Wohnzimmer und Bad zu heizen. Die Lage ist sehr gut, man ist schnell zu Fuß am Strand, Gezeiten-App nicht vergessen. Wegen des zu kleinen Bettes würden wir diese Fewo nicht nochmal nehmen, über Toms Holidays jederzeit wieder.
