The second living room provides additional sofa seating, a decorative fireplace and a fifty-five-inch television with Blu-ray DVD player, soundbar and PlayStation.
Patio doors open directly onto the terrace and garden, making this a particularly sociable space during warmer weather.

All four bedrooms are located on the first floor.
The principal bedroom has a king-size bed and an en-suite shower room. Windows overlook the rear gardens, while Velux windows provide additional natural light and have remote-controlled blackout blinds.

Lovely house in a great location. Easy, walkable, access to beaches, shops and restaurants and very vlose to Hayle outdoor swimming pool. The house was very well equipped. The garden is a real suntrap, especially the top patio. Garden probably more suited to older children as there are lots of steps.

Orange roofs were great at giving all the information we needed and messaged back really quickly when we had some questions. Property was really roomy, perfect for a bigger party. Welcome packahe was lovely touch as was the hand washes, washing up liquid etc. Great location and parking was easily and convenient. Shower room in the garden was a big plus as was the washing machine. Would recommend, especially if you're a large party.

We had a wonderful week at Hillcrest. The property is beautiful, clean, comfy and ideally located. Plenty of space with stunning views and Orange Roofs were professional and helpful. We made wonderful memories at the beach, at Gilbert's and visited Penzance, Marazion, St Ives and Carbis Bay! Philps is a must! Thank you

A lovely house, with everything you could need. Our stay was comfortable and we had no issues. The house is situated in Haye, which is central for everywhere. The beach is 5 mins away. Our stay was wonderful and l would highly recommend it.

Thank you for a truly enjoyable stay. It brought us all together to celebrate my mother's 65th birthday, giving us the chance to catch up with relatives we hadn't seen in a while and allowing the children to play safely. We especially loved the barbecues outside, both in the sunshine and the shade. The house had everything we needed, with beautiful rooms and wonderfully calm spaces to relax in, as well as cosy evenings spent by the fire. A very special place for a memorable family gathering. We would definitely return and would highly recommend this wonderful home to others

We had a fantastic time at Hillcrest. The house was lovely, clean and fully equipped for our holiday. The customer support that Orange Roofs provides is absolutely brilliant. I would gladly recommend Orange Roofs to anyone looking to stay in Cornwall.

Hillcrest ticks all the boxes for us that's why we keep returning. The house is spotlessly clean, comfy beds, excellent showers & well equipped kitchen. Lovely warm property but log burner added bonus for cosy area to sit and read and chat whilst others watch tv etc. The wet room is ideal for the surfers in our party keeping the sand out the house. Love visiting Gilbert's Beach Bar and Restaurant after bracing walk on beach plus great train links to St Ives, Penzance and Truro.

A wonderful house. Perfect for a big blended family of two adults and four kids. The proximity to the beach and the town make it ideal for loads of activities. The house it self is beautiful inside and the rooms are decorated beautifully. Can't fault our stay.

Beautiful house. Great size there was 7 adults and 2 small dogs and none of us ever felt like we were on top of each other. Room sizes were great and having 2 bathrooms and an ensuite meant no one was waiting for showers. Everything we needed for the week was there and its also very close to the beach the pubs the supermarket and most important philps for pasties and Mr Bs for ice cream. Would massively recommend This property for any big family who want to explore hayle and Gwithian. Lots of places to get to such as St Ives by car bus or train. Many thanks for a great stay.

We booked this beautiful home at short notice for a short
stay - sadly a family funeral to attend- Hillcrest gave us all a
haven of peace. So near to the beach and walks to Godrevy, great
location with easy access to Hayle- we were here when the Lantern
parade set off and Christmas lights turned on.
Hillcrest was warm and cosy, clean and well provisioned.
Comfortable beds and good showers
Would recommend.

Lovely house and in an amazing location, lots of beach walks on hand and further afield. Everything you need is on the doorstep. Very clean and comfortable house , we had a 3 month old baby and two dogs in our party.

We spent a fabulous week in Hayle and this was made better
thanks to the terrific customer service provided by Orange Roofs.
The property itself was wonderful and in the ideal position. The
description on the web site is 100% accurate and there were no
surprises when we arrived!
Having 2 babies with us, it was great that Orange Roofs were
really flexible in arranging for us to enter the property slightly
earlier than we expected and this was an added bonus as we could
then relax whilst 'feeding time' took place.
As previously mentioned, the property was as described albeit
the inclusion of a tumble dryer could have been a welcome addition
to the equipment list but having said that, we were blessed with
unseasonably great weather and were able to dry clothes
outside.
The parking at the front of the property is perfectly
adequate for 4 vehicles and the view from here was great - another
lovely vantage point to see the estuary.
All in all, we had a wonderful time with memories that will
stay with us for a long time. Orange Roofs were superb throughout
the whole experience, so much so that we are seriously considering
returning again next year.
Many thanks!

What a lovely property, conveniently located a short walk away from Hayle Beach and a short drive/train journey from St. Ives, Carbis Bay and a variety of other beautiful Cornish beaches, walks and activities. The house was spacious and perfect for our big family holiday - just what we needed! Thank you!

We were two family's, Hilcrest was a great location, great parking and the house was fantastic for all of our needs. You do need to be careful with children as the garden is on differnt levels. Billie was so helpful when booking and took care of us by responding to any questions we had. We had a query on the day of arrival but orange roofs responded so quickly even out of hours. We look forward to booking again through orange roofs.

We recently stopped at Hayle in Hillcrest House, the house is massive with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location of the house is spot on , next to 4 miles of sandy beech along with many local eateries. OrangeRoofs themselves were brilliant, they were always helpful and went over and above to resolve the minor issues we had , I would def use them again All round excellent place and company to deal with

We stayed at Hillcrest last year so booked again for this year with our 3 adult children and their partners. and the dog. It's a spacious house with room for all!!! Great location for exploring Cornwall or just sitting on the beach in Hayle. Secure garden for the dog!!! Booking was simple and efficient. App gives all info needed. Garden furniture could do with an upgrade and we could have done with an extra rubbish bin but apart from that it's perfect!!

Hillcrest is a home from home experience offering all that's needed for the perfect holiday. The owners have provided good quality furnishings and kitchen appliances, bed linen and bathroom towels. All amenities are within easy walking distance from the property also the beach and the towans.

We stayed at Hillcrest which was a superb cottage in Hayle, and everything that we needed for our holiday. All the family including the dog thoroughly enjoyed there stay there. There is a great beach with a ten minute walk, and some very nice eating places within walking distance. It is a good location to get to many places around Cornwall. I would recommend this to both family and friends, and anyone who needs a place to stay on holiday. Orange Roofs are very good and most helpful when booking and during your you vacation. Many thanks for a great holiday.

The house was ideal for our needs. The back garden was great for Fred the dog as well as it was enclosed. Only improvement would be the addition of a tumble dryer.

This is our second visit & find the accommodation ticks all the boxes for us. Well equipped kitchen, outside utility very handy especially when returning from surfing. Love the two seating areas, lovely when you want a quiet read & others want to watch TV. Log burner makes the whole house cosy and especially as we visit at end of October. Having 4 toilets an added bonus. Always spotlessly clean on arrival. What more can I say except hope to come again next year.

We arrived to a spotless beautiful house and started our holiday straightaway! There were 7 people in our party and the house worked perfectly for us with plenty of bedroom space....3 immaculate modern bathrooms and lots of room in the spacious kitchen, dining and lounge areas. The terraced garden worked perfectly for us and we had a few barbecues. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. The house has amazing views across the estuary and we were really pleased with the location. Hayle itself has lots to offer with a beautiful Sandy beach, restaurants, bars, train links, buses and taxis to the amazing St Ives. We just had the best time Thankyou!!!

This was our first time renting through OrangeRoofs and it was a very positive experience. The OrangeRoofs app makes finding information easy. Everything was a click away. Pros: House was very clean. Hardwood floors throughout the entire house! No grimy carpets here! large, plush bath towels comfy beds with extra pillows All rooms are bright and well appointed Bathrooms are all newly remodeled Short walk to the beach and into the town of Hayle Short drive into St Ives. Large dining table perfect for large group Separate reception area was great for the kids to watch TV while the adults relaxed with dinner Large garden with grass, seating area and bbq Cons: The cookware can use an update - the nonstick pans are no longer non stick No dryer (clearly stated in listing) but there is certainly space for a dryer to be installed All in all we would rent this house again and would recommend it to others.
Comment from Orange Roofs:
Thank you so much for your review Jennifer, we are so happy you
have had an amazing time. We are so sorry that the box was ticked
for tumble-dryer, that clearly was a mistake and we have corrected
that now. We have also got 3 new pans in the house :)

Great holiday from the start with easy booking through Orange roofs, plenty of useful information and excellent adherence to the covid rules. Hillcrest is a wonderful large property, attractive inside as well as out. Great position overlooking the estuary right next to the north quay. Easy parking, but close to all amenities, just a short walk to a beach, pubs, takeaways etc.Hillcrest is very well equipped, great range for cooking on the nights you stay in. Enormous dining / lounge room with loads of space for little ones to play. Plus large,comfy, tv lounge. Excellent quality dishwasher and washer with outside shower and toilet. The only thing missing was a drier, a must for out of season.
