Rest and recharge in this stylish, ground-floor apartment in the picturesque seaside town of St Ives. The property sleeps five guests and suits both families and groups of friends looking for a little slice of Cornish charm. You’ll be right in the heart of the town, tucked away off a main thoroughfare, giving you direct access to the town’s gorgeous shops and eateries, as well as its much-loved sandy beaches.
Steps lead from the street to the owner’s private courtyard and, from here, a couple of steps take you to the property. The coastal home-away-from-home is decorated in neutral tones, with a beautiful collection of seaside-themed accessories and artwork. At the heart of the home is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can spend quality time together. To the rear of the room is a carefully designed, compact kitchen, with a breakfast bar and everything you need to whip up tasty meals. There’s also a collection of comfortable seating arranged around a TV/DVD, and a dining table positioned next to the window. Two inviting bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the accommodation. Outside, there is a shared courtyard with bench seating, where you can sip a morning coffee and plan your holiday itinerary.
While away a lazy afternoon pottering around the town, exploring its many boutiques, galleries, and studios – the ideal place to pick up a little memento from your trip. After a bite to eat in one of the many cafes or restaurants, soak up some culture at the Tate Gallery, or perhaps hop on a boat from the harbour to visit the seals on Seal Island. Alternatively, find yourself a quiet spot on one of St Ives’ many sandy beaches. Further afield, day trips include St Michael’s Mount, Land’s End, and the Minack Theatre (all within 20 miles).
