Surf Six offers very flexible accommodation. The property is laid out with bedrooms and bathrooms at each end of a very large open plan living space. At one end you’ll find accommodation for up to four, with a double bedroom and a twin room, together with a lovely bathroom, including a large luxury walk in shower. The other end can accommodate six in two further bedrooms and a chill-out room containing a sofa bed that converts into a double bed — together with a great family bathroom with a luxury bath/shower. Both twin rooms are furnished with a single bed and a quality trundle bed to give greater flexibility.
Purpose built as a holiday home, Surf Six is carefree, colourful and practical. The open plan living area faces west, and double sun doors make the best possible use of light which streams in, bathing the space brightly at all times of the year. You’ll find sofas, additional casual chairs and large bean-bags, plus a large TV and a Sonos system. The kitchen is beautifully designed with handmade units and quality fittings and appliances, and the dining area is also generously spacious. The bedrooms are simply but comfortably furnished, and the bathrooms are exquisite, tiled floor to ceiling and finished with luxury fittings.
Surf Six is fully detached and stands in its own private garden, which is large and surrounds the beach house on all sides. There is ample parking for three or more cars behind the property, and a lawned and decked area to the front. You’ll also find a lovely outdoor shower which has hot and cold water for a luxury apres-surf experience!
The beach is around 100m from your gate. On the way you’ll pass Sunset Surf, a great place for a coffee, a snack or a complete meal — as well as doubling up as a well stocked surf shop. Gwithian beach is stunning. It forms one end of three miles of clean tide-washed sand stretching all the way to the Hayle Estuary. Across the bay the sun will set over the twinkling lights of St Ives and Carbis Bay. Gwithian beach is lifeguarded in summer and offers everything beach lovers could wish for, from a great surf academy to baby-friendly rockpools. The miles of marram-covered sand dunes (the “Towans”) are dog friendly at all times, and the South West Coast Path runs for as far as your legs will carry you in either direction.
The beaches of Godrevy and Gwithian Towans are tucked away treasures on the North coast of Cornwall, backed by picturesque sand dunes that run alongside them. These unspoilt, golden beaches stretch along the easterly side of St Ives Bay, and as west facing beaches they bask in the summer sun all day long. With several surf schools lining the beach, Gwithian is a surfing mecca and is an area perfect for those wanting to try surfing for the first time or polish up their skill!
Aside from the beaches, the towans (golden dunes) are a particular favourite for sunset watching and barbeques, and with the cliffs at the end of Godrevy, this spectacular landscape makes up a section of the famous Cornish coastal footpath. We believe Godrevy and Gwithian holds the formula for the perfect Cornish beach retreat.
When the tide is low, Gwithian and Godrevy are connected to other beaches that lead all the way to Hayle estuary. This three mile expanse is formed by Upton Towans, Mexico Towans, Godrevy, Gwithian and Hayle beach, which sits at the mouth of the Hayle estuary. Both Upton Towans and Mexico Towans allow dogs all year round, and the next beach over from Hayle beach — Porthkidney — is also dog friendly, so there’s plenty of space to let the dogs run. Seasonal lifeguards serve Godrevy and Gwithian, so they’re great for those wanting to get in the water – but do respect the sea and avoid going in the water when the lifeguards are off-duty. You’ll find plenty of people in the water on these beaches, and although the majority will be surfers, there are plenty of kite and wind and paddle-boarders about too, providing scenes of real adrenaline for onlookers on dry land. The popular Sunset Surf Café, and the iconic Jam Pot café are great to watch the watersports from, and also act as a cosy place to warm up after partaking in these activities!
While Gwithian is totally sandy, Godrevy offers a pebbled area which is perfect for beach barbecues and sea fishing, while the sandy side of Godrevy offers a more secluded space. Godrevy is owned by The National Trust, and is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), with a particularly beautiful stretch of the South West Coast Path featuring a picture perfect view of Godrevy Island and the lighthouse that sits on it; inspired by Virginia Woolfe. This footpath also takes you to the cliffs above Mutton Cove where you can often see over 100 seals if the timing is right! The dunes behind Godrevy are also home to St. Gothian Sands Nature Reserve, which has developed into a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and birdwatchers.
Gwithian village sits set back from the beach, hidden from view by the rolling towans. This small hamlet is extremely pretty, and the local pub, the Red River Inn is a great place to grab a bite to eat and sample some local ales. For amenities and entertainment besides what can be found on the beach, head a few miles west of Gwithian to Hayle. This local town has plenty of supermarkets, restaurants and shops, while on the outskirts you will find some great farm shops – try Richard’s or Trevaskis Farm for your fresh fruit and veg. Beyond Hayle is also where you’ll find the dog-friendly Porthkidney beach, and just a few miles further across the bay is St Ives. This beautiful town is a hive of activity during the summer, with local boutiques, restaurants and art galleries offering plenty to do all in a picturesque setting. For those looking to escape the crowds, a visit to St Ives out of season is a must. Its rich history of artists is commemorated by numerous museums and galleries, including the Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth museum. St Ives is a great place to explore for anyone visiting the area, and why not make a day of it by including a stroll or sunbathe on the towns’ two main beaches, Porthmeor and Porthminster.
With all the shopping opportunities, attractions, wildlife spotting and long sandy beaches it is no surprise that this area is a popular spot for holidays. Our range of chalets, beach houses and cottages are mostly dog friendly and perfect for a relaxing break in Cornwall.

Great house and so much fun with family and friends - we even learnt to surf! Thanks for everything.
What a gorgeous, light, bright, happy little house! We have enjoyed a lovely relaxing week here in beautiful Gwithian - definitely the best beach in West Cornwall! Lovely touches with the wine, biscuits, flowers, milk etc., thank you so much!
A wonderful week had by all in this perfect beachside house, we have surfed, body boarded and beachcombed our way through the week (plus a few games of Connect 4 and Monopoly!).
Totally blown away by the beauty of the landscape and big open skies. The house is fabulous, perfect for our large family and couldn't be better located. We will definitely be back!
Thank you for a great week in Surf Six. Its convenient location enabled us to get onto Gwithian beach by 10am each day, after getting the daily coffees from Sunset Surf of course. There is no better place for us to spend our annual week in Cornwall.
Our first time and we loved it! Lots of surfing/running/chatting and generally good quality time together with beautiful weather. Thank you so much.
Another good week in Gwithian, difficult to beat this beach for surfing and space. Mixed weather, but our group of 6 teenage boys and one girl aged 20 were almost oblivious...thank you for the flowers, biscuits, milk etc....a lovely welcome. Would recommend the Salt Bar in Hay;e for great after-sruf food, and Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens for its lovely garden, nursery, cafe and gallery (also the riding stables of the same name).
Lovely week — great location, great beach! And lovely weather. We will be back next year — booked already! Thank you for nice little touches, fantastic house!
End of a fantastic two-week stay. Surf six is an amazing house. Love the open, airy living space. Even when someone is cooking you still feel part of everything.
A wonderful house, with a very spacious living area, so bright, light and cheerful, but with a smaller room to go to for games and a second TV. The location is perfect for communing with nature on the sand dunes, the coastal path and on the beautiful sandy beach with its many rocks and caves, as well as the seals at Godrevy. What more could you ask for? It's so refreshing and restorative to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and just relax here.
This is my first time in Cornwall and I'm just blown away by this amazing place. Today is the day we leave and I really don't want to go home! It's a little piece of paradise. We have felt close to nature, the changing weather has provided a stunning back drop every day. I will miss the sound of the crashing waves and long walks along the beach. My favourite moment each day has been watching the sunset from the cliffs before returning to this beautiful house for dinner!
Great welcome at a lovely house. Everything so clean and tidy.
I have spent many holidays in Cornwall - but nowhere like this! Where do I begin - there is bags of everything - sun, sea, surf, the towans and the cliff walks, all are amazing. This house is amazing too! Great situation, decor, comfortable and relaxing!
We have had an amazing time at Surf Six! Thank you so much for having us! The area is stunning and we loved how close the beach was! The sunsets were amazing. We had lots of long dog walks and we very much enjoyed surfing. We were in the sea almost everyday. Thank you for making this the perfect holiday home for us to stay in - we had a great week!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the most relaxing, wonderful and refreshing stay in your beautiful house!! We have absolutly loved exploring the beautiful, wild coastal countryside around Gwithian, so much so that we barely felt the need to go further afield. From body boarding and searching for sheels and pebbles on the beach, to playing ball in the dunes and searching for dinosaurs in the caves, there's been plenty to keep our little boys happy even in stormy weather. Coming back to the warmth of your bright home for games and chill out is perfect. Would recommend the Sunset Surf Cafe for hot chocolates and beers and wet suits and friendly advice. Trevaskis Farm Shop in Connor Downs for great local food and luxury organic goods. St Ives for fish and chips at the harbour and beautiful sculpture gardens at the Barbara Hepworth house.
What an amazing break! Thank you so much for having us in your gorgeous house. Such a stunning spot- kids loved haring up and down the beach then coming home to hare around the house!
Amazing week, fabulous house, great location, everything was just perfect. Thank you, we will be back!
We had a wonderful stay at 'Surf Six' — it has a 'wow factor' about it, as does the beach. We surfed every day despite, on one outing, the horizontal, driving rain!
We had the most marvellous walk back along the beach, following a delicious meal at the Rock Pool Cafe and spotted two seals — magical!
Thank you for a great holiday in such an idyllic location. Hope to return soon.
