A cosy cottage in the popular St Ives, just a stone's throw from bars, restaurants and independent shops as well as three beaches, perfect for a family or romantic getaway.

Perfectly situated in Downalong, the oldest part of St Ives, and historically occupied by Fishermen, this cottage is the perfect base to explore Cornwall. The charismatic town of St Ives is postcard-perfect with its cobbled streets, excellent beaches, art galleries, independent shops and a stunning harbour. Hire a paddleboard, surfboard or kayak or simply relax in the sun. As if this weren't enough, you can take a boat trip to Seal Island just 3.5 miles west or hop on the train and enjoy the breathtaking views between St Erth and St Ives. Walkers will enjoy rambling along The South West Coast path which runs through St Ives towards Lands End. Just under 10 miles south you can explore Penzance and Marazion, the home of iconic St Michaels Mount.

Enter the cottage through the hallway and into the kitchen/dining area. The kitchen has everything you need, including an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, microwave and washing machine and there is seating for six around the table to enjoy meals together. Featuring rustic exposed stonework, the living area is bright and tastefully designed with comfortable seating around the TV and wood burner, perfect for a cosy evening in after a day at the beach. Heading back through the kitchen and up the cottage-style staircase, you will find the main double bedroom with a TV. There is a further bunk bedroom with two 2'6 singles, perfect for the little ones, and just off the landing is a bathroom with a shower over bath and WC. To complete the accommodation on the second floor is a double attic room.

There is no outside space, however, there are beaches, shops and restaurants all within 100 metres. Parking available in local paid car parks (subject to availability).

The cottage was nice, clean and comfortable. It was great to arrive somewhere that was advertised as dog-friendly and not be welcomed with a whole set of rules about where the dogs could and could not go. Like most people, I'm sure, we were sensible about it and respectful of the property without the need for rules. It would have been nice to have Read moresome basic provisions supplied on our arrival but overall a positive experience and the location is perfect. Hide

As above -Great location for our holiday, never moved the car once it was parked. We were a party of 5 adults and my 20 something daughter, didnt mind sleeping in the bunk bed, plenty of room for us all and the two dogs. Well presented, well equipped cottage. We did find the mattress too soft but we all have our own preferences. Will definitely holRead mored Polmear in mind if we were to ever have a week in St.ives again. Hide

Great location near 2 beaches. Porthwidden beach was just round the corner and allowed dogs. Soft sand and beach cafe and restaurant were perfect. The only down side was parking and would stop me booking again. Parking is a nightmare in this area despite paying for a weeks parking in the long stay car park as you were never guaranteed a reserved plRead moreace and it was stressful coming back each day when the car park was full.
