Fabulous for a break with family or friends, this beautifully refurbished Victorian retreat is right in the centre of St Ives. Four versatile bedrooms – including an en-suite master – are spread across the two upper floors, while the gorgeous ground-floor social hub has doors onto a shared courtyard garden.
This elegant terraced residence welcomes you through an entrance hall and into a spacious social hub where you can cook, dine and unwind companionably. Wooden flooring, flagstone tiles and contemporary furnishings complement all the must-haves of home, including a Smart TV and everything required for effortless self-catering. A useful utility room adjacent to the kitchen completes the ground floor layout. On the first floor, three bedrooms each have their own TV – choose from a king-size zip-and-link bedroom which can be made into a twin on request, a double bedroom with its own en-suite shower room, and a triple room featuring a single bunk above a double bed. There is also a contemporary family bathroom on this level. Breathtaking sea views vie for attention with the vaulted ceiling in the second-floor’s king-size bedroom, and to complete its sanctuary-like feel there’s also plush seating, a TV and an en-suite shower room. A shared courtyard garden extends everyone’s living space – accessed via French doors from the kitchen, it’s a peaceful spot for al fresco refreshments.
Leave your vehicles in the public car park – the cobbled streets of St Ives are best explored on foot. Browse independent stores, enjoy a fine choice of inns and eateries, and soak up the culture with visits to the iconic Tate St Ives gallery and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden. Stroll to the golden sands of Porthminster Beach and visit the harbour, where much of today’s trade involves fishing and excursion boat trips. For further sightseeing hop aboard the St Ives Bay Line for a scenic trip to St Erth, 6 miles away.
