The cottage is set on a pretty terrace with another 10 cottages, which are all unique and different. All of the cottages have gardens, which is unusual for St Ives! Despite the number of cottages, the terrace is very quiet and all of the cottages’ residents are lovely and friendly.

The cottage’s three-tiered, south-facing garden, is a perfect place for you to relax and enjoy your morning coffee over breakfast or an evening wine, whilst cooking food on the BBQ.

The cottage is suitable for single people, couples or families.

There are 5 beaches in St Ives, one of which is dog-friendly all year round!

Both the beach and the cobbled streets of St Ives, which have lovely shops, restaurants and pubs, are only a 5 minute walk from the cottage.

Feel at Home
St Ives has fast become one of the UK's foremost holiday destinations and offers 3 award-winning sandy beaches. In fact, the bay was voted the third best bay in the world by the Daily Mail!
The town offers a maze of cobbled streets that host a vast array of high quality restaurants, galleries and shops.

great location to both the harbour and The Tate.
we had a very enjoyable time. the cottage is very snug and doesn't take long to warm up.. Very well decorated throughout perfect in size for a small young family. Also the housekeeper obviously takes a lot of care as it was very clean throughout .As mentioned you couldn't get a better location. we wouldn't hesitate in going back there.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Rutter

Host profile image
I live in Lichfield in Staffordshire,and grew up in Sutton Coldfield.
I am a haidresser by profession and own a small Hairdressing Salon wich is located in Walmley,Sutton Coldfield.
I have two children a boy and a girl,who have spent many holidays in St Ives,crabbing in the rock-pools and eating ice-creams.
My love for St Ives has only increased as ive got older as to apprecite what a beautiful place it is,the light and the way the sea joins the sky, the changing colours of the sky and the changes in the sea each different season.
I have visited St Ives so many times throughout different months of the year.The summer is lovely with the warm weather sitting outside The Sloop having a drink and chatting to holiday makers.The Spring with the heady spring air and the glistening of the sea.The Autumn,October is hazy and time for the dogs on the beach enjoying themselves.November is time to wrap up warm and walk the coastal path,then head to any of the pubs to eat before going back to the cottage to snuggle up beside the logburner.And then Christmas and New Year which is amazing.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the cottage becuse it was so pretty and uniquecottage has a lovely 3 tiered garden with abundance if flowers and shrubs and because the garden is southernly facing it is great to sit in the sun and have a barbaque.The cottage is set on an off the road terrace along with another seven cottages,some painted lovely colours with beautiful gardens,the owners of the other cottages live there permantly and are really friendly and kind.

What makes this property unique

Where the cottage is situated is just a few minutes walk out of the town centre which means it is quite and peaceful away from all the crowds,yet only minutes away to the hustle and bustle.
Again just a few minutes from Porthmeor Surfing Beach and the lovely Porthmeor Beach Cafe Bar.
A few minutes th the Cinema and Kidz r us shows and the cobbled streets of st ives town with the shops restaurants and bars.
