Unleash the fun on Cornwall’s awe-inspiring coastline with a stay right in the heart of one of its most popular holiday destinations – St Ives. This town-centre bijou apartment is perfectly suited to couples and their four-pawed pals, offering a romance-filled getaway complemented by scenic dog walks along rugged clifftop paths and golden beaches. While the property is just moments from the world-famous Porthminster Beach, it’s also only a short stroll (0.5 miles) from Bamaluz Beach, St Ives’ most popular dog-friendly spot. Porthminster is pet-welcoming outside peak season too, making it ideal for tennis-ball chasing on crisp, quieter days.
Access the apartment via an external flight of 20 steps from the private driveway, which provides parking for one car. As you ascend, notice the private, glass-fronted balcony furnished with outdoor seating – a lovely spot to enjoy fresh sea air. Inside, the apartment is laid out on a single level, featuring a welcoming lounge/diner and a separate, well-equipped kitchen. The living room offers a comfortable sofa to sink into after long coastal walks, along with a Smart TV and soundbar to keep you entertained while Fido settles in with a chew toy. Leave your pup resting here as you retire for the night, finding a peaceful king-size bedroom opposite a modern shower room just along the hall.
Every winding corner of St Ives’ town centre promises something new to discover, from independent galleries and welcoming pubs to quality restaurants. Wander down to Porthmeor Beach (0.5 miles) to watch surfers ride the Atlantic swells, then head up onto the South West Coast Path towards Clodgy Point (1 mile) for breathtaking views. Continue along this iconic trail to uncover more of Cornwall’s stunning countryside, venturing as far as Seal Island (4 miles), where colonies of seals can often be seen basking on the rocks below.
