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.

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.
