Property code: OC-FARR

Enjoy a romantic getaway in this beautiful stone cottage. Located in the bustling seaside town of St Ives, you can enjoy the tranquillity of the property or the energy of the surrounding area with your partner.

Most of the ground floor is dedicated to an open-plan living space, where you’ll find a dining area, kitchen and lounge. There’s a gas log-burner-effect fire to make evenings cosier and a window seat overlooking the sea, a lovely spot to enjoy your morning cup of coffee. You’ll also see a shower room. Head upstairs to the bedroom, completed with a comfortable bed and full of wooden finishes for a simple, homely feel. To the front of this cottage is an enclosed garden with stunning views of the coast, and out the back is a patio with a table and chairs for romantic evenings as the sun draws in.

St Ives is a town with a lot to offer, plus you’ll find lots to do further out, too. You’ll be about 200 metres from the centre of town, with plenty of places to shop, get drinks and explore. Try Porthmeor Beach (1 mile) for surfing or try Porthminster Beach (0.5 miles) for equally beautiful views. Soak in culture with visits to Tate St Ives (1 mile) and Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden (1 mile). For bracing coastal walks, take a trip to National Trust Godrevy (10 miles) or Land’s End (18 miles), which was once known as Belerion. This translates as “place of the sun” in ancient Greek, so we know that people have been enjoying this picturesque place for thousands of years. Finish your holiday with a day at St Michael’s Mount, a unique island accessible by footpath or ferry, where you’ll find a medieval castle.

There is a private parking space suitable for a small car (4.7m x 2.1m).

This is a lovely little cottage, ideal for 2 people and overlooks the harbour. The cottage provided us with everything we needed. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a washing machine if needed. The back courtyard is private and a nice place to sit on an evening. The town and harbour is about 10 minute walk down a steep hill, but there is a bRead moreus that runs from the leisure centre which is about 100m from the front door. The buses leave and return every 10 minutes or so, so its easy for the less mobile to get to the harbour and beach. We had a few issues with parking as the space does not allow room for a larger car and I believe the cottage description has been amended to reflect this. We bought a weekly ticket for the leisure centre car park instead. Parking in st Ives is difficult unless your're there very early, so I would recommend using the bus as opposed to trying to drive through the extremely busy town. Overall we had a fab holiday, using Farr cottage as a base. Hide

Very small property on top of a very steep hill. Not for the faint hearted. Property has everything you need. However the interior was really small and dated. It was clean. The outside spaces were unkempt. In need of weeding and flower pots were more weeds than flowers. Outside furniture had a broken chair. There was a welcome pack of tea coffee bRead moreiscuits and milk which was a nice touch. Hide

The outside area was the reason we choose this property. It was not good enough and therefore let down the overall standard of the acommodation.

Lovely property, what more could you want - short walk into the town/beaches, parking, small garden and dog friendly. Walk back up the hill might be difficult for some, but there are buses every 10 mins maximum, to and from the leisure centre. We'll definitely be booking for next time

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Farr Cottage. The cottage itself is cosy and charming and in an excellent location. It has everything required for a short stay - from utensils to scrabble! the cottage was lovely and clean and has it's own parking space. It wasn't cold enough for us to use the fire, so we will definitely be back to visitRead more again! Hide

The low score for "equipment" reflects a) that wi-fi is hopeless - so tv isn't 'smart' and mobile ability is severely limited and b) whilst the dimensions of the parking space are correct, if the adjacent space (3) is occupied, it requires either reversing into the space from the main road or reversing out of it onto the main road. The proximity ofRead more a blind bend makes either manoeuvre potentially dangerous. During our visit (out of season) the issue was happily resolved by the people at the guest house kindly letting us use one of their spaces. Hide
