A cosy cottage in the popular St Ives, just a stone's throw from bars, restaurants and independent shops as well as three beaches, perfect for a family or romantic getaway.
Tucked away in Downalong, St Ives’ old fishermen’s quarter, this stunning cottage is the perfect bolthole to fully embrace Cornish culture. The property sleeps six guests - ideal for a family getaway - and from your front door, you can wander down to the picturesque harbour. The family-friendly sandy beach of Porthgwidden is also just 200 metres away. The property lends itself to spending quality time together, with a large dining table and a cosy wood burner to all snuggle in front of in the evenings.
The minute you set foot inside the characterful cottage, you’ll notice how bright it feels, thanks to crisp white woodwork and quirky light fittings. The kitchen/diner is a chic space, where contemporary furniture sits alongside original stonework. Here, you can come together around the dining table to enjoy evenings of delicious food and toast to a fabulous holiday. The cosy lounge features more rustic stonework and houses a roaring wood burner – perfect for cosy nights in watching your favourite film on the TV. Cottage-style stairs take you to the bedrooms. There is no outdoor space with this property, but with the beach just metres away, you’ll have ample opportunity to stretch your legs and breathe in the sea air.
There’s so much to see and do in St Ives, from learning to surf at Porthmeor Beach (0.5 miles) to marveling at the weird and wonderful artwork at Tate St Ives (0.5 miles). The vibrant town is known for its wonderful selection of eateries, too, many of which serve freshly caught seafood. If you fancy a day trip, you’re spoilt for choice. Just 9 miles away is the iconic St Michael’s Mount, or you can travel to Land’s End (19 miles) to soak up the rugged scenery and take a photo next to the famous signpost.
