About this property

Painter's Cottage in the heart of St Ives, very close to sea front at harbour, great base to explore from! Free WiFi

Painters Cottage is a traditional, 2-bedroom cottage which is in the heart of St Ives. It sleeps 4 in a double bedroom with compact ensuite shower room and a king size bedroom that can also be configured as a twin (2ft 6" bed single beds so the king size is in width only) bedroom. There is also a ground floor shower room wash basin and WC.

This wonderful cottage has been designed with guest comfort at the heart of it. The kitchen is very well-equipped to self-cater for a family of 4 easily. The living room is cosy with a lovely wood burner for the chillier days.

Porthminster beach is an easy 5 minute walk away and the town centre with all of its restaurants, bars and cafes and the harbour is just a couple of minutes on foot.

There is free WiFi throughout the house.

The nearest parking to the cottage is at St Ives train station and is no more than 5 minutes on foot away.

All bed linen, bath towels and utilities are included in the rate.

Please note, the stairs at Painter's Cottage are fairly steep so not suitable for the very young, infirm or anyone who may struggle with climbing steep stairs. It is also in an area of little or no phone reception but this is overcome by allowing WiFi calls on your mobile phone. The washing machine and freezer is housed in a utility shed just outside the back door in a small courtyard which also houses the wheelie bin.

Please refer to the Rental Agreement during the booking process for our detailed cancellation policy. We do offer a refund structure but on VRBO we have needed to select 'no refund'. We offer flexible cancellation conditions in the case of Covid government travel restrictions. Please email us at Orange Roofs if you have any specific questions, we will be so happy to help you.

Cozy St. Ives Cottage
We loved staying in Painters Cottage! The “welcome hamper” featuring Cornish goodies was greatly appreciated. The location is terrific, close to shops, restaurants & minutes from the harbour. The beds are very comfortable with high quality, soft linens. Although the steep stairs leading to the bedrooms are somewhat tricky there are grab handles strategically placed to assist. Orange Roofs are very efficient & a pleasure to deal with……thanks for your prompt communication.

Perfect St Ives Retreat!
Painter's Cottage is a perfect place to stay in St Ives. Tucked away on a quiet lane, it is just steps away from the harbour and charming high street. Very comfortable and beautifully appointed, just as shown online. Well-managed, with thoughtful pre-visit information and exceptional service, to guarantee a good holiday. Definitely deserves a 5 star rating!
