Property code: OC-BWRNEP

Treat yourselves to a stay in a former fisherman’s cottage in the quaint quarter of St Ives known as Downalong. On the doorstep of the green headland known as the Island, and close to the harbour, this delightful hideaway is also perfect for some of the town’s beaches. Sleeping six guests, it offers characterful and comfortable accommodation, plus a small courtyard for sunning yourselves in on summer days.

Step inside to find bright accommodation, with a friendly ambience and beautiful, exposed stone walls. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is the ideal place for unwinding in with your family and friends after your many trips out to explore this magnificent section of the Cornish coastline. Find a good film on the TV for everyone to enjoy, play lively games and cook up tasty feasts with the fresh produce you have bought. Make your way up to the first floor to discover two of your bedrooms, both of which are doubles. Also at this level is the family bathroom. Head on up to the second floor to find an airy twin bedroom, with some limited head-height due to its sloping ceilings and possibly more suited to children than adults. Take your first cup of tea of the day out into the courtyard when the weather is warm enough. Parking for this property is in public car parks in the surrounding area, which may have a charge.

Art lovers will relish their proximity to both the gallery at Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, 500 metres away. Families seeking a bucket and spade break or surfers eager to hit the waves will find themselves just 150 metres from both Porthgwidden and Bamaluz beaches. Porthmeor Beach, a lovely, sandy beach known for its surfing, is about the same distance on foot.

  • 3 bedrooms – 2 doubles, 1 twin (suitable for children only)
  • 1 bathroom with shower over the bath and WC
  • Electric oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher
  • TV, DVD, CD
  • Please bring your own beach towels
  • Mobile signal is variable
  • Small courtyard with bistro set to front of property
  • Pay & Display parking in a nearby public car park
  • Shop and pub 300 metres, beach 200 metres
  • Sloping ceilings and restricted head height in second-floor bedroom
  • This property is suitable for 4 adults and 2 children
  • Arrival: 16:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00
  • 1 dog allowed. Additional charges may apply

This is a great cottage in a very convenient spot in St Ives. It is close to the town centre but is away from all the noise. it is close to porthgwidden beach as well as the harbour beach. It is very convenient for the island car park (be sure to book your stay on line in advance). It has the right amount of kitchen appliances.

The cottage needs has potential to be very nice but is a bit tired. Whilst it was very clean, it would benefit from some tlc. However, the location superb and we had a great time.

Nice cottage but a bit tired . Great location though. Bathroom needs updating. Rust around Bath plug hole, dirty mark on front of toilet and rusty radiator. Our bed had the central support missing which meant it creaked loudly and sagged in the middle. Neither bedroom door had a latch so wouldnt close properly. Some windows wouldnt open which was aRead more nuisance when cooking. Hide

Perfect location, close to three main beaches. Away from the business of Fore Street but close enough for easy access. Towels provided saved us a fair bit of luggage space and it was fully equipped.

The description for the property did not include that a studio apartment was below and due to the old style of the house, therefor, we endured banging on the ceiling and a letter from the occupants below for noise. Please consider adding this in the description. Whilst the house was cosy and homely, the property would benefit from some TLC especiaRead morelly the top bedroom which has some mould around the windows and curtains. The location was excellent and close to the car park and beach. Hide

Booked for the location near Porthgwidden Beach. Kitchen could do with some sharper knives and a family sized saucepan, and a bit of washing line outside would be handy, but otherwise very, very happy with this property and will book again.

Windows didnt open on first floor which was a major drawback. Very few working knives, blunt, one was loose and dangerous. Lack of cutlery in general. No loo brush!
