I stayed few days in The Penellen over Easter. The view from windows is amazing. Rooms are clean and well maintained. There's pub and shop down the road. There's also selection of snacks and drinks you can purchase inside The Penellen. Owners are lovely and friendly. Well recommendedPosted on Google![]()

I am lost for words how amazing this accommodation is. I was not expecting the size of it and how spacious it is. I am in a dog friendly cottage. It was immaculately clean. It looked like a show home. The owners left a welcome package which was a lovely touch. All the amenities you need. A shared garden is on the back over looking the beach, lovely to watch the sun set. I booked again within an hour of my arrival for next year. Thats how this place speaks for its self.Posted on Google![]()

Staying in a sea-view holiday apartment in Hayle puts the Cornish coast at the heart of your holiday. Looking across St Ives Bay, guests can enjoy a changing coastal landscape of sandy beaches, open water and some of West Cornwall’s most recognisable scenery.
Our self-catering apartments provide a comfortable base for couples and families who want to stay close to the coast while having St Ives, Hayle and the wider West Cornwall coastline within easy reach. From watching the light change across the bay to spending the day exploring Cornwall’s beaches and coastal paths, the location is as much a part of the holiday as the apartment itself.
Explore what you can expect from a sea-view holiday in St Ives Bay below.
Wake up to the cornish coast. A sea view can transform the experience of a self-catering holiday. From our location in Hayle, you can enjoy the coastal setting of St Ives Bay, where the scenery changes throughout the day with the weather, tides and evening light.
Rather than simply using your apartment as somewhere to sleep, a sea-view property gives you somewhere to slow down and enjoy Cornwall even when you’re not out exploring. Morning coffees, relaxed evenings and quieter days can all be enjoyed with the Cornish coastline as your backdrop.
Stay Close to Cornwall’s Beaches
Hayle is an excellent base for a beach-focused holiday in West Cornwall. The area around St Ives Bay is known for its long stretches of sandy coastline, giving guests plenty of opportunities for beach days, coastal walks and time beside the sea.
Staying locally also means you can experience the coast at different times of day rather than having to plan every visit as a full-day trip. Head out for a morning walk, spend an afternoon on the sand or return to the coast in the evening as the beaches become quieter.
Two cornish destinations within easy reach. A holiday in Hayle gives you the opportunity to discover the character of Hayle and nearby St Ives during the same stay.
Hayle offers its own beaches, estuary and coastal surroundings, while St Ives is known for its harbour, beaches, galleries, independent shops and places to eat. Staying on the St Ives Bay side of West Cornwall therefore provides a convenient base for exploring the wider area without needing to stay directly in the centre of St Ives.
Find the right sea view stay. Not every sea-view holiday is the same, so consider what matters most to you when choosing your apartment. This could include the type of coastal outlook, number of guests, proximity to the beach, dog friendly accommodation or the facilities available within the property.
Check the individual apartment details, photographs, amenities and availability before booking to find the St Ives Bay sea-view accommodation that best suits your holiday. Our apartments are self-catering, giving you the freedom to plan your days around the beach, local attractions and the rest of West Cornwall.
