Property code: OC-BAIL05

Filled with winding staircases, authentic beams and hardwood flooring, this St Ives property has been lovingly maintained with so much of its original coastal character yet updated to offer an exceptional holiday base. Tucked away on one of St Ives’ winding streets, just moments from the harbour, you’ll find yourself remarkably well-positioned for exploring all of the town’s eclectic attractions when staying in this delightful four-storey property. A grand choice for a group of family or friends, the property accommodates six guests in three equally inviting bedrooms.

As you step foot inside you’ll be instantly greeted by a kitchen, complete with a breakfast table and TV creating a fantastic space for your morning coffee. All three meals of the day can be enjoyed in the first-floor lounge/diner, an open-plan room fitted with an iPod dock for starting your day on a high-energy note. Alternatively, find yourself winding down for the evening with your feet up on the sofa and a film playing on the TV/DVD. For those who prefer a little more privacy, find TVs in each of the three bedrooms, two of which are positioned on the first floor and the final double which is set beneath the sloping ceilings in the attic.

Although there’s no outdoor space in this town-centre property, there are less than 500 metres to walk to reach your nearest beach. Bamaluz Beach, along with Porthmeor Beach and Porthminster Beach (both less than 0.5 miles), is a vibrant destination filled with pristine golden sands and sparkling turquoise sea to swim in. For surfers, find a surf school for lessons or equipment hire within 500 metres. And, for those who don’t fancy sliding into a wetsuit, the sea full of surfers can be admired from a fantastic vantage point at Tate St Ives’ café.

Fantastic location with the added bonus of a parking space at Porthgwidden. We had a lovely holiday, with everything you could need apart from fantastic weather! Lots of stairs so perhaps not great for those with mobility issues, however, my 91 year old mum managed ok, although there was a few grumbles at times. Only negative for all of us weRead morere the pillows. They were not the best. Hide

We absolutely loved Opeway Cottage! We've been going to St Ives for years with our children and this year the boyfriends wanted to come along, so we were looking for a bigger property. Opeway suited us all perfectly and we have come home with some very special memories. The location was perfect for us, and even though it is very near Fore street, bRead moreecause it isn't accessible by car, the property is really quiet....which was a huge surprise. We are in the holiday business ourselves and have high standards, but Opeway couldn't be faulted. The linen was fabulous too and the two beautiful bathrooms were a huge surprise! We've always had quite basic accommodation in St Ives so really appreciated a great shower ! Thank you so much! Opeway will be top of our list next time we visit! Hide

Comfortable property in a great location. Yes, there are a lot of narrow stairs and the top bedroom does have some sloping ceilings but that did not really bother us, but may be a factor for others. The bathrooms were particularly nice. Comfortable beds, on the firm side if that's an important factor for anyone.

Fantastic location, easy to get to Fore street and the harbour. Excellent having an allocated car parking space. Bumped our heads a few times on the low ceilings of the top bedroom so moved down to the middle floor. Cottage included everything you would need including two bathrooms.

Had a really enjoyable holiday. The cottage was as described on the website and was spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you could need. The only suggestion I would make is maybe having blinds in the kitchen as felt very exposed as people could see in when walking by and also felt worse at night with the lights on however this didnt tRead moreake anything away from how lovely the cottage is. The location was perfect for us as close to the harbour front and the shops and restaurants. Would stay here again. Hide
