This colourful, romantic bolthole is right on the seafront of the popular tourist destination, St Ives. With panoramic views over the beach and harbour, it makes a fantastic holiday getaway for a couple seeking relaxation along the stunning Cornish coastline.
From the cobbled harbourside, make your way indoors and into the open-plan kitchen/diner. Feel instantly calm in this delightful home, thanks to the subtle nautical theme running throughout. Whip up a romantic meal for two in the well-equipped kitchen while you clink glasses to your holiday. Head upstairs to the lounge to continue the laughter and watch the boats bob by from the handy window seat. Feeling warm and homely, sink into the cushiony sofa and snuggle in front of the fire. Sleep soundly in the cosy double bedroom on the second floor, which is also presented with a fabulous window seat. In the morning, sip your morning coffee in bed together and work out your plan of action.
Open the door to this cottage and you’re right on the waterfront. Take advantage by spending hours meandering the coast and enjoying a full English whilst watching the fishermen going about their daily business. Visit one of only four Tate Galleries in the world, home to the iconic Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden or venture to the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden, which celebrates one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th century. Ride the waves at some of the UK’s famous surf beaches, Porthmeor (7 miles) or Gwithian Towans (9 miles). For those wanting to see the sights by 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.
