Enjoy a romantic getaway with your special someone at this to this characterful ground-floor studio apartment in the beautiful seaside town of St Ives. Sleeping two people in one bedroom, this fresh and bright apartment offers spectacular, uninterrupted sea views. Take a leisurely stroll along the picturesque harbour at St Ives, or cross the causeway to explore the historic castle and gardens at St Michael’s Mount. In the evening, come home to your romantic bolthole to snuggle on the sofa in front of your favourite TV show.

Step inside and you’ll discover a tastefully-decorated open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner that boasts wonderful views over St Ives Bay. Slip onto a sofa and soak up the sea views before heading to the smart kitchen to cook up a romantic meal. Enjoy an intimate dinner in the dining area before snuggling on the sofa in front of your favourite TV show in the lounge area. At the end of the day, settle down for the night in the beautiful bedroom for a restful night’s sleep.

Treat yourself to a few hours at the impressive St Ives Tate Gallery (2 miles), where you’ll discover a world-class collection of contemporary art. The gallery’s panoramic views over the bay are wonderful too. If you want to get out on the water, head to the surf school at Porthmeor Beach (0.5 miles) and try your hand at surfing, paddle-boarding or coasteering. Or head down to the harbour (300 metres) and take a trip to Seal Island to meet its grey seals – you’ll get some great views of Porthmeor Beach on the way.

Absolutely perfect place to stay.for us...simple and deeply comfortable with fantastic views...well equipped with everything you need. We went at a very quiet time and relished the peace, in high season you would be in the heart of things. We loved hearing the waves.

Fantastic view from the kitchen sink makes this cottage a great place for a couple to have a short break. Ideally placed in St Ives, with easy walk to shops, galleries and beaches.
