A charming seaside cottage perched in a peaceful neighbourhood and perfectly positioned for exploring the bustling centre of St Ives. This breezy coastal escape is ideal for family and friends seeking a relaxing getaway on the West Cornish Coast. Admire the abstract bronze sculptures nestled amongst leafy tropical plants as you saunter through the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden (600 metres), before tucking into a spread of fresh scones, cakes, and tea on the secluded patio.
This attractive property boasts an airy coastal interior with bright neutral tones, playful nautical design details, and light-dappled social spaces. After a day by the sea, ascend the cottage steps to the front door and shrug off outer layers. Pad into the lounge/diner and perch at the sunny dining table to sip a post-adventure brew and thumb through a guidebook. Flop down onto the sofas amongst the plump scatter pillows and flick through the TV. Chase away the chill in cooler months with the flickering wood burner effect gas fire. Whip up a spread of locally sourced nibbles in the sleek galley kitchen or select a chilled bottle of wine from the fridge. As the night draws in, retire upstairs to find two tranquil double rooms with soft linens and plenty of storage. Early risers can steal a moment of peace sipping a frothy coffee on the patio garden surrounded by mature shrubs and trees.
Culture-seekers and art lovers will adore the eclectic buzz of St Ives (500 metres) with independent craft shops, chic galleries, and boutiques aplenty. Sample fresh crab dishes and sip heady rum cocktails at the beach-inspired seafood shack (700 metres) or saunter along the glistening azure shoreline of Carbis Bay Beach (2 miles).
