Property code: OC-CAR17

Enjoy a traditional Cornish stay when you book this delightful stone cottage in Downalong, St Ives. Nestled in the old part of town, close to the headland known as the Island, this inviting retreat sleeps five guests across three bedrooms. Perfect for bucket and spade beach holidays with your family or walking breaks with friends and for both summer and winter occupancy, this holiday home could also suit anyone eager to bring a canine companion with them.

Step inside from the quaint street, where fishermen once came and went, to find yourselves in a welcoming lounge with a beautiful, exposed stone wall. Relax on the soft seating in here on autumn and winter days relishing the cosy glow of the wood burner. Catch up with your favourite boxset on the Smart TV or listen to music as you chat. Wander through to the spacious kitchen diner to whip up tasty meals with the fresh Cornish produce you have bought then call everyone through to gather round the table. At the end of each fun-filled day, make your way up to the first floor of the cottage to enjoy a good night’s sleep in either the double bedroom, where there is another Smart TV, the small double or the twin room. The large family bathroom is also at this level. There is no garden with this holiday home but the green, open space of the Island is just 120 metres away. Guests can unload at the cottage then park in a reserved space 100 metres from the property providing total freedom to come and go throughout the day. Stress free parking is a big bonus in St Ives.

Pack a bag with your swimwear and towels and stroll just 120 metres down to the sandy beach at Bamaluz or 150 metres to Porthgwidden, which is also popular with families. Venture 200 metres to pick up the South West Coast Path or walk 500 metres to visit Tate St Ives.

This was our first visit to this property, we were very pleased with its position and it was very clean and tidy when we arrived and the parking space was a great treat. St Ives is now becoming a car parking no go zone and an unnecessary added stress to a holiday, so a parking space is a big plus. A very quaint and cosy stay and have rebooked forRead more Spring 24. Thank you to St Ives Holidays and the owner of the property. Hide

We love this property. Its warm, cosy and has everything we needed. It has a car park space close by which is perfect and it allows 2 dogs which is ideal for us. A nespresso coffee machine would be a nice to have, just because the cost of coffee in town is extortionate for the sizes that u get. But thats just me! Otherwise perfect as it is.
