This wonderful property, situated in the heart of St Ives less than 350 metres from the historic harbour, is the perfect holiday home for couples or small families looking for a relaxing place to stay that’s still close to plenty of fun things to do. Sleeping four across two peaceful bedrooms, this holiday home is an opportunity to escape the stresses of busy life and take a break among stylish interiors before heading off to explore the coast and country. Head up along the South West Coast Path to Clodgy Point (1 mile), or spend the day at Cornwall Gold (16 miles) where the kids can pan for gold.
Step into the terraced cottage into a bright and airy open-plan living area. Cook up a storm in the contemporary kitchen and eat at the dining table, or curl up on the sofa in front of the decorative wood burner with a good book. Get some peace and quiet in the second sitting room among blue and white tones, or enjoy an alfresco drink in the pretty courtyard garden before heading to bed. Take the second-floor double bedroom to snuggle into bed among white wood-panelled walls and ceilings and wake up to amazing sea views towards Hayle Towans Beach.
After exploring art-inspiring St Ives, take a beach day to the golden sands of Carbis Bay (2 miles). Let the kids run off some steam at Paradise Wildlife Park and JungleBarn (5.5 miles) where there’s an indoor play centre as well as animals to meet. You can’t miss a trip to St Michael’s Mount (9 miles); take a boat and stroll around the castle and its gardens. Poldark-famed Geevor Tin Mine Museum (12 miles) offers a great family day out, as does the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (20.5 miles).
