About the Local Area

Dottie's Cottage and Arnie's Studio are located in the heart of St Ives. Whilst the street itself is quiet and tucked away it is just a short stroll from the shops, harbour, beaches and art galleries.

Spend time at the working harbour, where you can see the seals that visit. Take a fishing trip or a boat trip to seal Island or Godrevy lighthouse and maybe see some Dolphins along the way..... or maybe you prefer to sail. There is lots to do.

There is an array of restaurants to choose from but book up fast as they are ALL very popular. We'll leave details of a few of our favourites at the cottage for those of you who are new to town.

There are four golden beaches to choose from. Porthmeor beach is good for surfing and has life guards and a surf school through peak periods. The other beaches are more sheltered. Dog friendly beaches available year around, (please check for details as some are seasonal).

The art galleries draw many to St Ives. The Tate is probably the largest gallery in town and is found just 200m away from Dottie's Cottage and Arnie's Studio above Porthmeor beach. Artists are drawn to St Ives for its said 'special light'.

Walkers would be interested in the coastal paths offering spectacular scenery along the way. Northbound to Carbis bay is beautiful and suitable for most walkers. We have done this many times with our small children. South towards Zennor is beautiful but provides much more of a challenge!

There are many other attractions within easy reach of St Ives such as the Eden project and the Seal sanctuary.

What ever you choose to do during your stay you are sure to have a magical time in St Ives.

Smaller than it looks
Amazing location to porthmoer and town. I think more detail is needed on the location as ive not long had surgery on both knees which caused massive discomfort getging up the steep hill to carpark. the cottage is alot smaller than it looks. Dissapointed in the poor quality bathroom. Very scruffy and extremely small. The sofa is very dirty and stained which spoilt the cute cottage look of the lounge. The courtyard was a no go area due overgrown bushes and poor furniture. We had a lovely time but we wont stay it this particular property again.

Quaint cottage in great position but tired decor and needs a good clean!
Good communication with owner prior to arrival however no real communication once we arrived. Upon arrival, the decor was rather tired and tatty which was a shame but not the end of the day. The most disappointing thing was that the cottage had not been cleaned throughly. Floors and handrails were filthy. Sofa was stained. Bath plug was full of hair. There was bindweed growing through into the kids bedroom through the wall. The patio area had not been tended for a long time and there was a rotten rocking chair with a pile of dead weeds left on it! Arnie’s studio smelt very damp so we didn’t use it for the whole of the stay. It’s such a shame as the location is great and the building itself has so much potential!

Location, location, location
Excellent, almost idyllic, location. A beautiful listed property with separate suite ideal for a couple of older child. Owner was responsive via the Vrbo app, answering questions fairly promptly. We did find that the outsourced cleaning was not very well done, with an old sock and a used towel down the side of one of the beds, but otherwise, the property is in excellent condition. Really good facilities in the kitchen, but fridge is unsurprisingly small, yet perfectly manageable if shopping every other day or eating out.
