1 / 24Villa Surfside
Hayle, Cornwall
A single storey bungalow for six above Hayle sands, with views across St Ives Bay, an enclosed garden with the coast path at its end and four dogs welcome.
Four dogs are welcome at Villa Surfside, a single storey bungalow just a few hundred yards from the golden sands of Hayle, with panoramic views across the bay to St Ives. The South West Coast Path runs at the end of its enclosed garden, and the owner notes that dogs are welcome on the beach all year round, so this dog friendly stay starts at the door.
Everything is on one floor. The living room has a magnificent large picture window looking over the garden to the sands, with a coal effect gas fire and a TV, and the kitchen and diner, well equipped for six, leads off it. The utility area is the owner's chosen spot for kicking off sandy shoes and towelling down the dogs, and the laundry lives there too.
Three bedrooms share the floor, two with king size beds and the third with twin beds, and the family bathroom and WC are here too. The patio has seats and a barbecue, a summerhouse has seating of its own, and the enclosed lawn looks across the bay to St Ives, where a glass of wine at the end of the day goes with four dogs stretched out on the grass.
Stroll down the lane to the coast path and onto Hayle beach, with its surf school, safe bathing and acres of room where children and four dogs can run. The path also follows a scenic route along the cliffs to Godrevy Point, the Bluff Hotel's bar and restaurant is a short stroll away, and St Ives, with its galleries and harbour, is easily reached by the pretty coastal railway.

Is Villa Surfside dog friendly?
Very much so — Villa Surfside welcomes up to four dogs, which is one of the highest allowances you'll find at a property of this size. It's a three bedroom house sleeping six, so it works particularly well for households with multiple dogs travelling alongside a larger group of people. The enclosed garden and direct access onto the South West Coast Path make it a genuinely practical base rather than just a dog-tolerant one.
Are dogs allowed at Villa Surfside year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and nothing in the available information suggests that access changes throughout the year. If year-round availability is important to you, it's always worth confirming directly with the property before booking.
What should I know before visiting Villa Surfside with my dog?
The garden is enclosed and the gate opens directly onto the South West Coast Path, so dogs can be off lead from the moment you step outside — no car journeys needed to reach the trail. Porthkidney Beach is around a mile away, Godrevy around two and a half miles, and Gwithian Towans a little over three, all accessible on foot from the property. The early 2:30pm arrival time is a small but useful detail if you're travelling with dogs and want to get settled and out for a walk before dark.
