Description

Ancient Lights is a pretty fisherman's cottage in Upper Meadow, a quiet pedestrianised location, which is just a short walk away from the beautiful Porthmeor Beach and the Tate Gallery. The property benefits from a studio opposite the house which, if booked with Ancient Lights, provides comfortable accommodation for six. In front of the studio is an attractive garden which can still be used if just the house is booked.

Four steps down from Upper Meadow take you in to the Kitchen/Diner with ceramic hob, electric oven, dishwasher, washer/dryer and fridge. The cosy lounge has a TV and stairs to the first floor. Upstairs are two bedrooms, one with bunk beds and the other with a 4' 6" double and lovely views over to St Nicholas Chapel on the Island. The bathroom has a shower, basin and wc. The studio has a double bed, TV, fridge, tea making facilities and French doors which open out onto the garden area with table and chairs. There is an ensuite shower with basin and wc.

Reviews

We very much enjoyed our stay in Ancient Lights. It was the perfect location for us, close to Porthmeor Beach and the St Ives Bakery. We found the house to be very comfortable and peaceful, even though it was right in the centre of town. We would note two things from our stay. One is that the house is compact and if you are looking for a lot of room (or have big kids) you may want somewhere larger. Also, in the current circumstances, parking in St Ives is very limited, so if you don't want to walk from a distant car park you might want to find a house with on-site parking. All in all, however, we had a great time in Ancient Lights and would definitely consider coming back.

Mr M,
