A family holiday at this welcoming home-away-from-home promises a mix of adventure, relaxation, and culture. Famous for its thriving art and pottery scene, St Ives is home to a picturesque working harbour and a network of quaint cobbled streets brimming with award-winning restaurants, cafes, and independent shops. For a memorable adventure, set sail from the harbour (1 mile) and cruise out to Seal Island, where you can spot playful seals basking on the rocks, or head across the bay to the iconic Godrevy Lighthouse, inspiration for Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse. Beach lovers will adore Porthminster Beach (0.5 miles), where golden sands and crystal-clear waters create a lovely setting for sandcastle building and paddling. With tropical palm trees and an award-winning beachfront cafe, it’s a wonderful spot for a day out at the seaside. Alternatively, strike out along the South West Coast Path towards dramatic cliff-top vistas and spectacular sunset viewpoints.
Step inside and be welcomed by a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, the sociable hub for your holiday. Whether you're whipping up a delicious meal, sharing stories around the table, or simply unwinding after a day at the beach, this inviting space has everything you need. A handy downstairs cloakroom adds to the convenience. Head upstairs to discover a light-filled lounge with an African-inspired theme, where bold décor meets cosy comfort. Sink into the sofas and soak up the gorgeous views over St Ives Harbour, creating the coastal backdrop for morning coffee or evening drinks. Climb one more flight to find two beautifully styled bedrooms. The triple room is ideal for families or groups, featuring a bunk bed and a single bed, while the double bedroom boasts spectacular views to wake up to each morning, and there's even a telescope to keep watch from this elevated lookout. Completing this floor is a family bathroom.
Outside, the enclosed garden offers a relaxing space to enjoy the fresh sea air and far-reaching views, with artificial grass and a patio area complete with outdoor furniture for al fresco dining or unwinding with a good book. Private parking for one car is included, making exploring further afield even easier.
