Description

Modern and spacious eco house in higher St Ives, convenient for the coastal path and walking to beaches, harbour front and shops. Gardens and parking for 2 cars

No. 7 Tom’s Yard, a semi-detached Eco house in the pretty coastal town of St Ives, offers spacious and flexible accommodation over three floors, parking for 2 cars and enclosed gardens surrounded by trees, providing the perfect place to relax and unwind. No. 7 is one of 8 Eco Houses built around a yard at the top of Higher Stennack in St Ives.

The bustling harbour front of beautiful St. Ives is within easy walking distance (20 mins) from the house and offers a wide range of things to see and do, including, The Tate, The Leach Pottery, Barbara Hepworth Museum, fabulous beaches and numerous great pubs and restaurants. The coastal path can be joined via a 10 minute scenic walk from the house.  There is a handy bus service which operates from just across the road and will have you in the town within 10 minutes. There are taxi services to and from the town too, which is good to know if you don’t want to walk back up the hill after a relaxing day on the beach or maybe an active day surfing. If there are any skateboarders in the family, they will be keen to know that the innovative and ground-breaking St Ives Skate Park is only a quarter of a mile from the house. If horse riding is of interest, the Penhalwyn Trekking Centre is only just over a mile away. So many things to do, or you can just stop, relax, and have that well-deserved break.

Reviews

We have enjoyed staying here immensely- the layout with the separate studio made it so easy for a family with adult offspring to share some precious time in our childhood holiday destination. Everything needed to self-cater - this feels like a real family home which is always so special. I hope we get to return.

Ms Carol W,

Beautiful property, the owners had thought of absolutely everything! We could not fault it!

Mrs S,

Many thanks for letting us stay at 7 Toms Yard, the house is lovely and a great base for exploring St Ives and the wider area. Great location, great food, beautiful area topped off by a well equipped place to stay

Previous Customer,

Thank you for a fab stay - beautiful place to stay and loved having so much space for teenagers.

Mr M W,

We stayed here on a family holiday and had a lovely time. 7 Toms Yard is a wonderful stay - decorated with lots of love and it's thought of every little detail. Coast paths and the beach are within 10 minutes, reached by foot. If you wanted to spend the day at the house you can have a great time relaxing on the wonderful terrace. We'd recommend 7 Toms Yard as a stay for everyone visiting St Ives and longs to feel at home. Thank you!

J M,

The cottage has been a fantastic place to relax in Cornwall. The facilities and location are impeccable. The terrace is great for sitting and chilling out. The beds are super comfortable. The location up in Higher Stennack was no problem for us. The walk to the beach (whether Porthminster or Porthmeor) was always about 20 minutes. The way back was longer and there is a difference in altitude of almost 100m. The buses run regularly, but we did not use them. Conclusion: a wonderful cottage.

Mr S,

We stayed as a family for a week at the end of June. We have been so lucky to stay here as the house is such a wonderful place to stay. The owners have really thought of every small detail to make our stay a very comfortable one and relaxing too! It really is a home away from home! The kitchen is so very well stocked with gorgeous dinnerware and everything you need to cook and create holiday meals. The beds are so comfortable and every bedroom has i'ts own bathroom. The outdoor spaces are beautiful and a fabulous way to relax with a coffee or a glass of something. We could not recommend 7 Tom's Yard more.. just wonderful!

Past Customer,

Had a brilliant stay, very lucky, weather very hot, impressed with the house, immaculate and very comfortable. Crisp white bedding, comfy mattress, outdoor spaces great. What more can I say, I would come again.

Past Customer,

We stayed at Tom's Yard for a long girls weekend and I had the best time! We loved the house and it was the perfect place to chill after a long day exploring St Ives. Porthminster Kitchen on the harbour and Porthmeor Beach cafe were amazing and fish and chips on the harbour whilst watching the sunset and St Ives bakery for a true cornish pasty is an absolute must!! The house was perfect and we didn't want for anything. Thank you for a lovely stay - we'll be back!!

Past Customer,

Great location, not just for St Ives main town & beaches but for exploring Cornwall, with easy access to Lands End, Lizard, Penzance. etc Very spacious and airy house and feels secluded despite having neighbouring properties nearby. Although the house isn’t in the main centre of St Ives, it is pleasantly away from the madding crowds, and it is an easy walk into town and beaches. Coming back up the hill could be a struggle for some, but we happily walked it. There are numerous taxis at very affordable rates if needed, which we used after having some evening drinks. It has been decorated to a high standard and consideration has been given to eco friendly contents where possible. We love the eco pans and have to go buy some for ourselves!

Past Customer,

Location

St Ives is one of Cornwall's top destinations and a beautiful seaside town where visitors can enjoy a traditional beach holiday with a twist. It's easy to understand why the town has been attracting painters, sculptors and ceramists for decades with its stunning scenery and natural quality of light- one of only four Tate Galleries in the world is located here in the heart of the town. The town itself arcs around the working harbour- the heart of the historic fishing community. You could lose yourself for hours in the charming cobbled streets which are crammed with gift and craft shops, art galleries, top notch restaurants and welcoming local pubs- a real treasure trove just waiting to be explored!

St Ives also has four fabulous beaches, Porthmeor, Porthgwidden, Harbour beach and Porthminster which between them offer miles of golden sand and hours of building sand castles, playing in the rock pools and other family friendly activities. Dogs are welcomed out of season. Throughout the year, St Ives has a busy event calendar including the St Ives Food & Drink Festival in May and a Music & Arts Festival in September.

So what are you waiting for? Why not discover what St Ives is all about today!
