Location
Where is it?
Hytte can be found in a special location, nestled in the sand dunes of Hayle beach, away from the crowds. A private path leads down to the beach, a mere 25 metres away. And while the path is tricky for those with mobility issues, down uneven granite steps and no handrail, you are transported away from everyday life into a place of calm and pure escapism. Hyette is a Norwegian word for ‘Huette’ – derived from the German word for a wooden cabin, commonly used for Danish beach dune houses.
The beach extends to a three-mile expanse of golden sandy beach, stretching from Hayle Towans across to Godrevy Point beach in west Cornwall.
The property itself can be found at the edge of Hayle, at the mouth of an estuary, nestled between St Ives and Gwithian. The town is home to top notch ice cream and pasty shops for hungry stomachs, while the soft sands of the river's banks cry out for a paddle as it weaves its way towards the shoreline. St Ives Bay stretches from Hayle estuary to Godrevy lighthouse, miles of golden sand and expansive horizon. A little further along the beach's stretch you'll find Gwithian, flat open sand perfect for racing, kite flying and horse riding too- you'll often see ponies being taken for a canter in the shallows.
Before long, Gwithian morphs into Godrevy and the iconic lighthouse stands proud on the skyline, rearing up from its rocky outcrop bright white against the sky. Famed for inspiring Virginia Woolf's novel To the Lighthouse, it's a feature of the landscape loved by locals, surfers and visitors alike. From here, the rugged coastline sweeps away from the beach and over the National Trust owned headland to the inaccessible Mutton Cove, home to a Grey seal colony.
Back in Hayle, the Saltings nature reserve is a prime place for murmurations in the shoulder months and Carbis Bay and St Ives are a short hop away by train. The ultimate scenic route, it clings to the coastline promising photo-worthy vistas galore. -

Guest Reviews
"Wow! A beautiful, cosy beach chalet nestled in the tress at the edge of the Hayle estuary. With picturesque and ever changing scenery, a real gem of a place. We loved our stay and hope to be back again soon!! Our small children loved the beach and being slightly out of town (still very walkable) was great as it gave us that feeling of private seclusion we were hoping for. SUP and kayak rental just 50 yards away and a very short stroll along the track or beach gets you to the famous 3 mile beach! Train to St Ives was an easy day out. Drive to St Erth station (6-7mins) park at the station and catch the scenic train to st Ives. Look out of the right side of the train and Hytte can be seen across the water. Simply brilliant! ~ Airbnb

"We had an absolutely fabulous time. The cottage is in a perfect spot with beautiful views. Lauren from Beach Retreats was always available to answer any queries and dealing with her was a pleasure. The house was very clean and well equipped. Highly recommend.
