This charming stone cottage with sea views has a homely feel and contemporary interiors, providing the perfect base for a fun family holiday to the Cornish coast. Sleeping six humans and one pooch, you’ll have everything you need to enjoy a relaxing seaside stay.
Make yourself at home amongst whitewashed walls, exposed beams, coastal tones and delightful decor. The open-plan lounge/diner is the hub of the house, oozing comfort with leather sofas and a TV to catch up with all your favourite programmes. If you decide to eat in, the newly refurbished kitchen has everything you need to show off your cheffing skills while you rally the troops to help set the table for six. When it’s time to turn in, unwind in one of three calming bedrooms; a bunk room and two double bedrooms, all boasting incredible sea views over Porthmeor or Hayle Bay.
Amble into the vibrant heart of St Ives and follow the cobbled streets to endless bars, pubs, cafes, restaurants and independent boutiques. Art enthusiasts may want to gather inspiration from one of only four Tate Galleries in the world or see the place where Barbara Hepworth carved her renowned sculptures. For a paddle in the sea, sandcastle building or rock pool climbing, visit Porthmeor, Porthgwidden and Porthminster, all within 2 miles of the cottage. Refuel with a delicious cream tea (jam first and clotted cream second) or a traditional Cornish pasty and take in the seaside views as you do so. For those wanting to explore the area on foot, hop onto the South West Coast Path, which passes through the town to soak up panoramic views of the shore, hidden coves and craggy clifftops.
