No.1 St Eia, St Ives

About this property

Original exposed stone walls and deep window reveals retain the property’s character and are now complimented with contemporary furnishings and tasteful décor, as well as modern features like Smart TVs and revamped bathrooms for a completely comfortable stay.

The property’s three lovely bedrooms include two king size beds on the second floor and a twin on the top floor, while its two living rooms (a cosy ground floor snug with wood-burner, and spacious lounge with plush seating on the first) offer ample room for relaxation. On the ground floor, the gorgeous kitchen is well kitted-out for home cooking, and the dining area within the space is where guests can spend time sharing meals, playing board games or chatting about the day’s plans.

The Downalong, with its maze of narrow cobblestone streets, granite cottages, and whitewashed stone buildings, serves as the historic fisherman's quarter of the town, and this lovely cottage’s setting just 150 metres from Porthmeor Beach, the harbour and Porthgwidden, means you can be on the sand within a couple of minutes after stepping out the front door.

St Ives, a truly enchanting location on the Cornish coast, is dotted with art galleries and craft studios that feature a variety of works, from hand-blown glass to ceramics and paintings. Numerous excellent restaurants offer freshly prepared local produce, making it a delight for food enthusiasts. On days when the beach isn't an option, you can explore the charming lanes with names like Salubrious Place and Teetotal Street and find beautifully crafted souvenirs. The area's five stunning beaches including Porthminster and Carbis Bay, boast golden sands, clear waters, and wonderful views of St Ives Bay, making it an ideal destination for families or friends seeking the perfect beach holiday.

This property has two entrances – the main front door is on St Eia Street which opens straight into the kitchen on the ground floor, and another on the Back Street side up a flight of outside steps which opens to the first floor landing
