Gwithian Lookout

• Sleeps: 5
• Bedrooms: 3
• Bathrooms: 2
• Minimum stay: 2 nights

Characterised by wild dunes, and forming part of St. Ives Bay’s famous ‘three miles of golden sand’, Gwithian Beach is listed among The Times’ top 10 surfing locations.  

So, we wholeheartedly recommend packing your wetsuit on your break to Gwithian Lookout.

Don’t worry if you don’t enjoy getting up close and personal with the waves, though. You’re more than welcome to watch them come and go from the comfort of this wonderfully laid-back retreat, which also showcases views out to Godrevy Lighthouse.

Boasting vaulted ceilings and enormous walls of glass, it won’t even matter if the weather isn’t playing ball… in fact, on stormy days when the sky is moody-grey and the sea choppy, you can huddle up with a mug of coffee and soak up all the atmospheric drama!

Sociably open plan, the cedar-clad retreat sleeps up to five guests; perfect for couples who enjoy lots of space, or a small group of friends or family. Simple furnishings let those incredible views speak for themselves, yet there’s an abundance of both sumptuous cosiness and sleek, polished style.

Light the wood-burning stove and curl up on the corner sofa by evening, after a delicious seafaring feast whipped up in the well-equipped kitchen, which sports gorgeous local granite worktops.  The dining area features comfy wicker seating, below a lobster pot lampshade – very on point!

Meanwhile, hand-crafted wooden ladders lead to casual, light-filled living spaces that are ideal for curling up with a good book… if you can tear your eyes away from the dreamy views over the rooftops, that is.

More information

Leading from the kitchen and living area, you’ll have three bedrooms to choose from, including a kingsize master en-suite with double sliding doors that invite the outside in. There’s also a double room with a gorgeous west-facing window, and a cosy single room.

Freshen up in the shower room, and then why not enjoy your first coffee of the day out on your Cornish stone-finished private terrace, with the sea as both your backdrop and soundtrack?

To access the beach (and those amazing rollers!) all you’ve got to do is wander across the sand dunes… and if you’re worried about bringing sand back inside, the outdoor heated shower promises to allay your fears!

Don’t fancy surfing? Try a spot of rockpool swimming – the biggest and best-known ‘Sheep Dips’ enjoy plenty of sun-warmed water that’s a joy to splash around in.

And of course, there are plenty of charming towns to visit, including Carbis Bay and Lelant, that mean whatever takes your holiday fancy, you can indulge it with a stay at Gwithian Lookout.
