The property

Hilbre, a pleasing ground-floor apartment resting in the village of Trevone, in Cornwall.

This disability-friendly abode boasts off-road parking, an outdoor shower and proximity to the beach, making it a lovely base for small families or a group of friends exploring the coast of Cornwall.

Hilbre’s spacious layout and thoughtful design have been praised by guests for creating a sense of freedom and inclusion—whether relaxing in the heart of the living space, moving easily throughout the home in a wheelchair, or adjusting the bed for personalised comfort.

Pull into the private driveway and step out into the fresh Cornish air, where the sound of the sea lingers nearby.

The front entrance to Hilbre is the narrowest access point, but still wide enough for most wheelchairs.

Two additional entrances feature double doors opening onto the patio, offering ample space for even the largest wheelchairs.

A paved path runs all the way around the house back to the parking area, allowing wheelchair users to explore the entire exterior with ease.

As you enter Hilbre, a welcoming hallway greets you with bench seating, coat hooks and space to kick off your shoes—setting the tone for a relaxed and well-thought-out stay.

Underfoot, underfloor heating warms each step as you move into the open-plan living space, where wooden flooring and natural light create a bright and inviting atmosphere.

Heated towel rails with a boost function add extra warmth to the underfloor heating, while heated mirrors provide a useful anti-mist feature—particularly handy for wheelchair users who may find them difficult to reach.

Light switches are also positioned within easy reach throughout.

The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, with everything you need to whip up a hearty breakfast or a seafood supper.

Reach for the kettle to brew a morning cuppa, toast fresh bread in the toaster, or rinse some fresh fruit in the sink.

The oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and dishwasher are all tucked neatly into the layout, making cooking and clearing up a breeze.

In addition, the kitchen includes an extra oven with a slide-away door, a lowered work surface, and ample ground-level storage—making it easy for wheelchair users to join in the cooking.

Hooks, drawers, cupboards and switches are thoughtfully positioned at both accessible and standard heights.

The wheelchair-friendly workstation sits at the heart of the open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, allowing everyone to stay connected and involved.

Slide into the booth-style corner seating in the dining area or pull out a chair to enjoy meals together, with a wall-mounted Smart TV positioned perfectly for viewing from both the dining and sitting areas.

After a day on the beach, lounge in the sitting area with a book or a board game, or simply unwind with a film.

A workspace is tucked into the corner for those needing to check in with work or plan the next day’s adventures.

The twin bedroom offers soft carpet underfoot and enough space for wheelchair access, with a sofa to sink into and direct access to the rear garden—ideal for stepping out into the morning sun.

The single bedroom features an armchair and an optional eco-friendly spare bed, designed as a durable and sustainable ‘room in a box’ made from high-quality cardboard that, despite being lightweight, has a high load-bearing capacity.

The main Komfortlift electric profiling bed in this room has all the functionality of a hospital bed (without full forward tilt) and is electronically adjustable using an easy-to-use handset—raising to waist height and allowing the head and foot sections to move independently.

It features a deep memory foam mattress for added comfort, and a small removable handrail can be fitted to the side for extra support.

The base is designed to accommodate a hoist if raised slightly, giving carers flexibility when assisting guests.

Guests should bring their own hoist, as this allows carers to use familiar equipment safely.

This spacious room offers comfort and independence, while the larger double room provides a welcoming retreat for accompanying family or friends.

Both bedrooms include en-suite shower rooms with level basins, walk-in showers and WCs, designed with accessibility in mind.

A freestanding frame can also be positioned around the toilets as an alternative support if preferred.

These bathrooms also feature lowered basins and mirrors, easy-use lever taps, and safety bars for the showers and bath.

A commode and shower chair are available on request.

A separate cloakroom adds further convenience, though this WC off the hall is too small for wheelchair access.

Outside, rinse off sea salt under the outdoor shower at the front, or enjoy alfresco drinks on the rear patio, surrounded by the peaceful hum of Trevone village.

Just a short stroll from the beach, Hilbre is well-placed for exploring the local area.

The nearby shop and pub are within easy reach, while the harbour town of Padstow is a short drive away, offering mouth-watering seafood, scenic boat trips and the popular Camel Trail.

Hilbre is a delightful base for discovering the beauty and charm of the Cornish coast.

Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1189845, together sleeping up to 5 guests.

Hilbre Retreats

Hilbre Retreats consists of a welcoming selection of two coastal properties tucked away in the quietest corner of Trevone in Cornwall. Hilbre Retreats allows people to reconnect with nature, where starry skies meet ocean views - immerse yourself in this sublime Cornish landscape that boasts large fields lined with hedges that are filled with sloes and pennywort. Listen to bird song as Firecrests and Goldfinches nestle in the trees nearby. This tranquil group of two properties offers ground-floor accommodation, open-plan layouts, an outdoor shower, off-road parking and proximity to the beach, making it a lovely base for couples, small families or a group of friends. Designed with inclusivity in mind, Hilbre Retreats offers a super comfortable stay for everyone, whether your looking for a rustic getaway to dis-connect from everyday life at the shepherds hut or make the most of the comfortable apartment, perfect for seniors and guests with disabilities. The owner’s father used a wheelchair, which inspired the creation of a spacious, flexible and accessible holiday space that doesn’t compromise on quality. For those seeking a little solitude, the Shepherd’s Hut offers a peaceful hideaway—perfect for parents in need of a breather or younger guests seeking a little independence while staying close to loved ones. Hilbre features a dining table that accommodates six people so if the shepherd hut and apartment are booked together you can gather around one table to eat and plan your day.

Just steps from the entrance to Hilbre, a public footpath invites you to explore further—perfect for a morning walk or chasing golden hour views. The surroundings enjoy tranquil seaside scenery, where you can stroll along sandy shores, explore the South West Coast Path or unwind with a picnic overlooking the waves. Step out onto the South West Coast Path and let the landscape unfold around you. Wander towards Harlyn Bay, where a 4,000-year-old burial site emerges from the cliffs. Follow the trail to Trevose Head, crowned by its steadfast lighthouse, and onward to Stepper Point, where a striking daymark offers sweeping views down the Camel Estuary. In spring, seabirds nest on the nearby cliffs, filling the air with their calls.

Treat your loved ones to a meal out at nearby eateries such as The Cornish Arms, offering hearty pub fare in a relaxed setting, or The Well Parc which is a family-owned pub with lovely sunset views from the terrace. For a taste of local produce, Padstow Farm Shop is within easy reach on foot, perfect for picking up fresh ingredients or artisanal treats. Enjoy a beverage at the local beach bar which regularly hosts live music, perfect for those balmy Summer evenings.

Make the most of your location by exploring the harbour town of Padstow, the surf-ready beaches and family attractions of Newquay, or the charming streets of Port Isaac. Newquay offers family-friendly fun with its aquarium, zoo and beaches, while Port Isaac enchants with its winding lanes, independent shops and ties to the beloved Doc Martin series. From scenic boat trips and coastal walks to boutique shopping and cultural landmarks, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Local viewpoints offer spectacular sunset vistas—especially from the top of the road, where the sky blazes westward over Trevose Head.

Escape to Hilbre Retreats for a memorable Cornish getaway by the sea.
