Guests say
Lantern Loft in St Ives is highly praised for its fabulous location with stunning views, cosy and quirky character, and modern fittings. Guests enjoy the proximity to local amenities and the beach, as well as the property's warmth and entertainment options. It's noted as a happy spot that feels like home, perfect for both human and four-legged visitors.
Guests have described the cottage as clean with a very nice touch of leaving biscuits and tea/coffee, indicating a high level of cleanliness.
The location is consistently lauded for its perfect positioning, overlooking the beach and close to pubs, cafes, and shops, making it an excellent spot for exploring St Ives.
The cottage is described as cosy, warm, and equipped with comfortable beds. However, the distance between bedrooms may be a concern for those with young children.
The property is well-equipped with a smart TV, Wi-Fi, and kitchen appliances, though the absence of a dishwasher is noted. Maintenance of decor due to the location is mentioned, suggesting occasional challenges.
While guests appreciated the biscuits and tea/coffee, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of such thoughtful gestures, and they should not be expected on every visit.
About this property
If quirkiness and dreamy sea views float your boat, then this sweet cottage in St Ives is the place to be. It’s in a prime spot right on the “Lambeth Walk” section of the seafront, offering you a front-row seat to panoramic harbour views and crystal-clear waters. With the immaculate white-sand Porthminster beach, shops, restaurants and pubs just 100 metres away, it’d be hard to find a better location. The property sleeps up to four over its two bedrooms, so is great for a family or two couples holidaying together.
Step inside to a well-equipped kitchen for preparing family feasts and picnic for tomorrow’s exploration. You’ll ascend a few steps to reach a living room with fantastic sea views towards Hayle, Gwithian and the Godrevy Lighthouse – and some binoculars so you can enjoy the vistas to the full. You’ll find plenty to entertain you, with Smart TV, books and board games provided. The upper floor houses a king-sized bedroom with vaulted ceilings and exposed stonework, while the cosy twin bedroom is accessible via some steps down from the kitchen area.
There’s so much to do nearby, whether that’s indulging in some Cornish ice cream or a cream tea or wandering around St Ives’ quirky shops, museums and galleries (all within 0.5 miles). A leisurely 0.5-mile stroll will take you to the renowned Porthmeor surfing beach and the famous Tate St Ives gallery. If you’re keen for a longer walk, join the South West Coast Path 0.5 miles away and make your way to local beauty spots like Clodgy Point (1 mile) and Porthzennor Cove (6 miles) and Gurnard's Head (6.5 miles).

Lovely place must be difficult to keep on top of the decor due to the rocks but worth the effort lovely place to sit and watch the world go by. Great central location
