Located just outside the bustle of St Ives town centre, but close enough to walk down and wander the shops, galleries, pubs and restaurants, this appealing holiday home has gorgeous views and even a small parking space. It’s ideal for couples or families looking for a Cornish seaside getaway.
An open-plan layout gives the living space of this ground-floor apartment a bright and airy feel. The galley-style kitchen, which has a microwave and dishwasher, makes it easy to cook up tasty meals, and you can enjoy them at the adjacent dining table before strolling across to the lounge. This welcoming space offers lovely views of the sea and, when you can bear to pull down the blind, a TV, DVD, CD player & DAB radio for your entertainment. At bedtime, there’s a double and a twin bedroom, both nicely co-ordinated, sharing a sweet shower room. A slim courtyard with outdoor furniture offers the chance to dry wet suits or have a morning cuppa or evening drink al fresco, and - unusually for St Ives - the property also has an off-road parking space for one small car.
St Ives is one of the UK’s most popular holiday destinations - and for good reason. There’s so much to do in this historic fishing town, from days at one of the five sandy beaches to exploring the cobbled streets and indulging in some retail therapy or enjoying great food and drink. Walkers can stride out on the coast path or inland, while if you prefer to get out on the water you could book a boat trip or learn to surf, kayak or stand-up paddleboard. If you can tear yourself away, why not visit St Michael’s Mount, 9 miles, the Minnack Theatre on the cliffs, 18 miles, or Land’s End, 18.5 miles?
