Set in a quaint spot in a pedestrian courtyard in St Ives, this delightful old fisherman’s cottage has original features such as exposed beams, and welcomes three guests. Escape to the coast and enjoy visiting tourist attractions from this wonderful spot.

Head into the entrance porch of this idyllic cottage and leave your sandy shoes before finding yourself in the open-plan lounge/diner. Exposed beams run across the ceiling, and the property’s original floorboards mean this space oozes with character and charm. Settle down and relax of an evening in front of the Smart TV, with the dining table and bench seating situated at the other end of the room. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you will need for a self-catered stay. Climb the stairs and get some sleep in either the double bedroom or the single bedroom, and a stylish shower room completes the property. Though there is no outdoor space at this property, you will be just 200 metres from Porthmeor Beach.

St Ives is one of Cornwall’s most popular tourist spots, with cobbled streets, a range of independent shops and eateries, and several beaches to enjoy. It is also home to art galleries such as Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum. Head off on foot along the spectacular South West Coast Path which passes through the town and winds along the stunning coastline soaking up wonderful views.

Very sadly we were disappointed with the Cot. There was no plug for the upstairs bathroom and the shower was so hot it was uncomfortable and needs repairing. If you were looking for a self catering experience you would struggle to prepare food due to space. However it was warm and cosy . We paid 1.1k for New Year week and there was no way this accoRead moremmodation justified that cost. Hide

This property has great potential that isn't being used. The bathroom needs fixing, the double room would benefit from a small chest of drawers. There are innovative ways of making a tiny home super. Living space and beds are extremely comfy tho
