The historic town of Hayle, Cornwall, is a fantastic alternative to its famous, but often overcrowded, neighbour St Ives. With equally gorgeous sandy beaches and more of a local vibe, this small town is packed with Cornish charm. While St Ives Bay is just on the doorstep, you can also check out some lesser-known beaches in the area if a more secluded holiday is what you’re after. Explore all this and more from the comfort of one of our holiday cottages in Cornwall. Read more
