About this property
Alfresco dine in the enclosed garden after a day exploring your surroundings. Cornish cottage with array of modern comforts. The harbour is home to cool restaurants, pubs and a plethora of shops.
For a little seaside holiday, there’s no place better than St Ives. You’re surrounded by beaches in a walkable town with lots on offer, with hikes, wildlife and culture within easy reach. This cottage is the perfect place for a family trip where everyone can find something to enjoy.
Enter the property to find a kitchen/diner which leads to a patio. Next door is the lounge, a lovely spot to relax after busy days full of adventure. Head upstairs to find two bedrooms: a double and a twin. Both are charmingly decorated with nautical touches, comfortable and great places to get some much-needed rest. The garden is equipped with furniture and a BBQ for long afternoons with casual food and plenty of sunshine.
Take some time to explore St Ives. For beautiful beaches, try Porthmeor Beach (0.5 miles) for surfing opportunities, or walk along to see the famous Man’s Head (0.5 miles). Alternatively, visit Porthminster Beach (0.5 miles) for a different (but equally stunning) view. If you’d like to soak up culture as well as sunbeams, visit the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden (500 metres) or Tate St Ives (0.5 miles and next to Porthmeor Beach) for different art exhibitions. Coastal walks with beautiful views are all around you, including National Trust Godrevy (10 miles) for rock pools, stone age settlements and wild seals; Land’s End (18 miles) for the westernmost part of England; and St Michael’s Mount (9 miles) an island accessible by causeway, where you’ll find a medieval castle and sub-tropical gardens. Finish your trip by taking a coastal pony ride from Old Mill Riding Stables (4 miles) or going for a day out at Flambards Theme Park (15.5 miles).
