Escape with your special someone to this romantic cottage located in the heart of the historic seaside town of St Ives. Sleeping two people in one bedroom, this charming cottage is an ideal choice for couples who wish to experience all the wonderful history and beauty of the Cornish coast. Spend a fabulous morning discovering the impressive array of modern art at St Ives Tate Gallery before heading to a cafe at Porthminster Beach for a leisurely late lunch by the sea. In the evening, come home to your cottage to snuggle with your loved one in front of the TV.

Step through the stable door entrance, and you’ll immediately feel at home in this quaint fisherman’s cottage. Consisting of a bright and cheerful open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, this is the perfect retreat for a romantic break for two.

Spend a wonderful day unwinding on the sun-kissed shores of Porthminster Beach (0.5 miles). Soak up some sun, dip your toes in the crystal-clear water and treat yourself to a seafood lunch at the beachside cafe. Further afield, head to Gwithian Beach (8.5 miles) to take a leisurely stroll along its endless stretch of sand or to try your hand at kite surfing or windsurfing. Or dive into the world of contemporary art at the St Ives Tate Gallery (150 metres). Check out the impressive selection of inspiring workshops on offer while you’re there.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location of Sweetheart Cottage is very good. The cottage itself is absolutely lovely - cosy,comfortable and spotlessly clean. Lovely welcoming touches had been provided by the owners, flowers, wine and cake and these were much appreciated. It was our second stay here and hopefully wont be the last.

Sweetheart Cottage is lovely, spotlessly clean and has all you need. The bed is very comfortable. It has a welcoming feel, somewhere you are happy to return to after a day out. I think it has a lot of repeat customers, myself included and I look forward to going again. The location is superb, 2 minutes from a beach and extremely close to the shops.Read more Very highly recommended. Hide

The property is a great place for a couple to stay. Porthmeor beach is a stones throw away, and the harbour only a two minute walk. Property was exceptionally clean and well equipped.
