Get the best of both worlds at this waterfront property in St Ives, with the lively delights of the harbour and the incredible coastline on the doorstep. Boasting panoramic views of the sea and Godrevy lighthouse, this traditional cottage provides relaxation for a family of six and their waggy-tailed companion.
Let yourselves into the property and flick the kettle on in the charming open-plan living area. Sink into the sumptuous sofa in the evening and snuggle in front of the TV with your favourite film playing in the background. Keep your toes nice and toasty thanks to the underfloor heating while you make your way into the well-equipped kitchen to cook up a hearty meal. Come the end of the day, rest your weary heads in one of the four beautifully decorated bedrooms. After a great night’s sleep, watch the boats go by from the window seat and start working on the day’s plans with the rest of the troop.
Grab your buckets and spades and head to Porthminster Beach, just 300 metres from the property. This sandy, sheltered beach is popular for its golden sands, azure blue seas and stunning views over St Ives Bay, not to mention the many sandwiches and pasty shops on offer. For something a bit different, go wildlife watching by catching a boat from St Ives Harbour and see if you can spot dolphins and colonies of grey seals. Keen walkers may want to tick the South West Coast Path off their bucket list by taking on the 8-mile stretch over to the working fishing port of Penzance. While here, pop into one of the buzzing bars or cafes for a fish and chip supper and a pint of Cornish cider.
