Property code: OC-B30675

This uniquely styled bijou cottage is an ideal retreat for solo adventurers or couples looking for a rejuvenating escape in the picturesque seaside town of St Ives. With thick stone walls and instant access to the heart of town, enjoy a memorable West Country escape at this cosy coastal bolthole - tucked down a quiet lane near the harbour.

Your home is reached via a quaint pedestrian lane that leads directly into an open-plan living space. Here, a mosaic-tiled floor, rugged painted-stone wall, and warm timber cladding set the stage for coastal living. A chandelier casts a soft glow over eclectic display shelving filled with ceramic kitchenware. The compact yet efficient kitchen is perfect for crafting everything from hearty breakfasts to quick suppers, complete with a wooden counter and stools. When the day winds down, relax on the inviting corner sofa and enjoy a movie on the Smart TV. A short, steep flight of narrow wooden stairs guides you to the mezzanine, where a cabin-style bed awaits – a unique space with limited headroom that offers a truly intimate sleep experience. Although there isn’t a private outdoor space, the vibrant atmosphere of St Ives is all around you. Wander over to Trewyn Gardens, where an immaculate lawn and shady trees create a lovely setting to relax and soak in the coastal ambience. Public parking is nearby, and we recommend pre-booking a space during peak season to ensure a stress-free stay.

Nestled in the bustling centre of St Ives, you're well positioned between the harbour and Porthmeor beaches, with three more sandy shores and the coastal path within 100 metres. Step outside and explore a variety of tempting eateries, from fresh seafood restaurants to stylish bars, along with art galleries and quirky independent boutiques that capture the town’s unique charm. For those who wish to venture further, legendary St Michael’s Mount and the vibrant market town of Penzance are both 9 miles away, while the breathtaking Land’s End awaits 18 miles from your doorstep, with the clifftop Minack Theatre a mile further.

Property: loved the idea of the decor in the property with the wood and cement walls. Location: Didn't realise the location was down a back alley I thought it was on baileys lane. Practicality: okay for a weekend (2 days)

The cottage is tiny! I loved it, but I am a petite woman and it was perfect for me alone. A larger taller person or couple might struggle. You need to be happy with steps/ladder to get to the bathroom and bed too.

Perfect little bolthole right by the harbour. Amazing use of space and the best shower. Loved all the different options for lighting and the cosy finishing touches. We had everything we needed and the town and beaches right on our doorstep

Amazing location. Radiator not working which made accommodation feel damp

This place was perfect for a few days stay while doing a course at the School of Painting (1 min walk). It was really handy to be in the middle of things, but I liked being tucked away where it was much quieter than on the main streets. Its basic but has a well-equipped kitchen, and there are a couple of luxurious touches with robes and a big bottlRead moree of nice shower gel. The mezzanine bed and steep steps might not suit everyone, but for me on my own were fine. Bedding was comfy. There was plenty of tea, coffee and sugar, a pint of milk in the fridge and a pack of biscuits provided. Id be very happy to come back again! Hide

Very cosy clean and comfy cottage, ideal for 2 people in a good location. Maybe not elderly due to steep stairs.

Lovely five night stay, any issues were sorted which was amazing, great location by the harbour and short walks to the beaches. Quiet away from the Main Street which was good for night time but still close to everything I needed. Small but enough space for a couple or friends staying for a short time. Clean and tidy, contained everything I needed!
