This characterful three-storey former fisherman’s cottage in St Ives is set in a picturesque, traffic-free cobbled street and is ideal for a romantic getaway to the Cornish coast. The shops, harbour, Tate St Ives, and four beaches are all around a half-mile walk away. St Ives is a beautiful working fishing village with a busy harbour where you can watch the boats come and go throughout the day. Walkers have access to the South West Coast Path from any of the beaches, and the walk to Carbis Bay Beach (1.5 miles) is a lovely route.

This delightful cottage is set over three floors and is full of charm. It retains many original features, including exposed beams in the kitchen and living room. The cottage has a coastal theme and is a cosy place to spend time together. On the ground floor is the kitchen with everything you need to prepare romantic meals. The first floor is the entrance level, and here you can enjoy the spacious living room with its relaxing soft blue tones and two sofas where you can make yourself comfortable and watch your favourite films on the Smart TV. On the second floor, you will find a shower room and a king-size bedroom with a TV for enjoying lazy mornings in bed.

St Ives is the perfect base for exploring this corner of Cornwall. There are many iconic attractions within a short drive from the town. Head south to Lands End (18.5 miles) and take a circular walk via Sennen along the spectacular cliffs and coves. Marazion (9 miles) on the south coast has a gorgeous sandy beach and offers access across the cobbled causeway to St Michael’s Mount. Or stay nearby and look out for the seals at the Godrevy National Trust (10 miles), where you can also admire the lighthouse.

Right in the heart of the old town yet just a few paces from the hustle and bustle of the high street to be a peaceful retreat.
