Huers Hide is the perfect retreat for couples who wish to unwind ‘at home’ in beautiful coastal surroundings.
Relax in the conservatory, outside on the deck or just lie in bed watching the shifting sands as the tides drift across the almost deserted Porthkidney Sands; lookout for shoals of pilchards boiling on the surface of the sea, or seals playing in the surf at Hawkes Point or pods of Dolphins feeding in the distance.
With the Cornish Coastal Path just a few steps from the front door it is ideal for walkers and with the West Cornwall Golf Club, and the ‘foodie’ haven of St. Ives, just minutes away by car, train or foot, Huers Hide is a destination in itself.
