A modern apartment in a sought-after location in the heart of St Ives, this four-bed holiday home is a wonderful base for a restful Cornish break. This vibrant town is something of an artistic hub – home to the famous Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth’s sculpture garden (both within 350 metres). Not only that – its main street (150 metres) is filled with delightful eateries, chic boutiques and buzzing bars all ripe for exploration. Add seven fantastic sandy beaches into the mix, the nearest of which is just 150 metres from your front door, and you’re all set for a restorative and relaxing holiday.
You’ll access this third-floor dwelling via a shared entrance and three flights of stairs. Once inside, a spacious open-plan living area awaits, featuring large windows that offer a prime view over the streets below. Vaulted ceilings and exposed stonework add a touch of character, while splashes of red have an uplifting effect. After days spent sunbathing and sandcastle-building, your group can unwind on the comfy sofas, perhaps popping your favourite show on the Smart TV. The apartment includes a cosy double bedroom boasting glimpses of the sea between rooftops, along with a stylish twin bedroom that's light and inviting.
You’ll find plenty to do in the local area, whether that’s indulging in some creamy Cornish ice cream, or joining the South West Coast Path (500 metres) and following it along to beauty spots like Clodgy Point (1 mile) and Porthzennor Cove (5.5 miles). Further afield, jump in the car and drive to popular spots like Penzance (8.5 miles) and Marazion (8 miles), famous for its tidal island, St Michael’s Mount. The quaint fishing harbour of Newlyn (9.5 miles) is also well worth a visit.
