Property code: OC-CHAINL

Escape with your family or friends to this inviting cottage close to the harbour in St Ives. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom holiday home offers comfortable accommodation across four storeys and is in an excellent location for enjoying all the shops and eateries of the Cornish town, as well as its various beaches. It is also in an exceptional position for keen walkers eager to follow the South West Coast Path.

Make your way into the cottage at ground-floor level to find the heart of the property is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a painted, beamed ceiling and ample space to relax together after your trips out. Watch TV in here, read your books and sit down to the delicious, home-cooked meals you have prepared in your kitchen area. Follow the stairs down to the lower ground floor to find a second seating area and a family shower room. Venture up to the first floor to a family bathroom and a twin bedroom. A king-size room, with a Smart TV and an en-suite shower room, is on the floor above. There is no outside space with this cottage but you are less than 100 metres from the beach and 350 metres from the green headland called the Island. Parking is in local pay car parks.

Pack your towels and costumes and stroll 350 metres down to Porthmeor Beach. Bamaluz Beach, which is popular with surfers, is about the same distance from the house. Visit Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, both within 200 metres, during your stay. Lace up your walking boots and follow the South West Coast Path out along the Cornish cliffs from the Island or from Porthmeor Beach. Book a boat trip out to see the seals and other wildlife from the harbour.

9 Church Place has a perfect location, beautifully clean with excellent kitchen appliances and range of utensils. Bed really comfy with good crisp linen. Top floor walk in shower was fabulous. Stairs to both floors are steep so you just take your time and dont rush.

Booked Chain locker as we were staying as two couples and felt that the central location and three bathrooms would suit us all. It didn't disappoint. Overall I think a nice property with a well equipped and clean kitchen although we ate out or had takeaway all week, we would have happily of cooked in it . Everything was very clean and there was numRead moreerous things in place to get us started on our holiday such as toilet rolls, hand soaps etc. Oh and my Son and partner made use of the mini surf board in the downstairs cupboard. Very thoughtful! We would book again if coming to St Ives, thank you. The sea views from the ensuite at the top are wonderful! Hide
