About this property
This snug chalet is just a short walk from three miles of sandy surf
Up-A-Bank is a charming beachside chalet, nestled within Riviere Towans, in the heart of St. Ives Bay. Cosy and inviting, this beachside bolthole offers comfortable accommodation for up to four guests and their four legged friends, the chalet has dedicated Wifi.
The perfect escape for beach lovers, watersports enthusiasts and walkers alike, this charming chalet is just a short walk from three miles of sandy surf beach and the stunning stretch of the South West Coastal path that runs from Hayle Estuary to Godrevy.
With two bedrooms (one double and one children's bunk), well-equipped kitchen, dining space and living area with sliding doors which open onto an enclosed deck which looks across the park towards St. Ives and the Atlantic Ocean, Up-A-Bank is great for couples and small families alike.
Long beach days, ocean swims, sundowners and slow mornings… you'll want to make Up-A-Bank a home from home for years to come.
Access - The chalet is accessed via a grassy bank and ten steps with parking at the bottom.
Living/Dining Area - Cosy living area with comfy seating, TV, dining space and access to the balcony.
Bedroom 1 - With a double bed, hanging space, drawers and window to the rear of the chalet.
Bedroom 2 - Small child size bunk beds and window to the side.
Kitchen - Well equipped with fridge/freezer, microwave and oven and hob.
Shower Room - Tiled bathroom with a fitted shower cubicle, basin and WC.
Other Features - Enclosed balcony area with seating and great sea views across to St Ives. There is also a picnic bench.
This property accepts one dog included in the rental cost - they will need to be added to the booking, if more than 1 dog we will require a £100 refundable security deposit.

Come and find us in our on-site office open 9am-5pm Monday - Saturday and 9am-1pm on Sundays, from maintenance to housekeeping, travel tips and directions, we're here to help! There is a 24 hour ‘out of hours' contact number for us too.
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 Lelant 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. Whether it is a relaxing break or a more action packed holiday you are seeking, Toms Holidays at Riviere Towans is the ideal destination.
Winter stays at Riviere Towans
Riviere Towans is a great choice for your winter break, but it's also the period that our owners tend to build and renovate, and when essential land maintenance and roadworks are done. Disruptions and sound may affect neighbouring properties, so please get in touch with us before booking if you are concerned.
The winter season runs from the 1st November until the 1st April OR a week before Good Friday, whichever is earlier.
All the properties we manage are self-contained and self-catering. All the kitchen equipment you will require for your stay is provided in the property. All properties include a microwave, TV, iron and heating to name but a few of the basics. A large number also include washing machines but do check the property particulars above.
