Reviews

Fabulous views from a cosy house, can't wait to come back. The location is great and the beds were comfortable. Loved it :)

Mrs M,

We have used this property a few times now, on occasion with extended family. We love the situation of upper watchouse with Its beautiful views of St Ives harbour. The accommodation is very well equipped and the beds most comfortable! During and after the Covid period the standard of cleanliness has been very high.

Mr W,

Our favourite holiday property with wonderful harbour views. Just the place for a relaxing break. And everything you need within walking distance. Love it!

Mrs S,

Location

St Ives

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!
