This beachside apartment enjoys a prime position in the Cornish town of St Ives. Sleeping four guests and one four-pawed hound, the coastal bolthole makes a fabulous couples’ retreat or base for a small family. You’ll be right in the heart of St Ives’ old fishing quarter, surrounded by a fine array of independent eateries, as well as cute boutiques and galleries. The property is also set next to the slipway to Porthmeor Beach.
The seaside hideaway is decorated in a contemporary style, with crisp, clean walls and a collection of accessories and artwork in tones that reflect the coastal landscape. The main living space is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with ample space for you and the pup to spread out and relax after a day at the beach. Cook up a storm in the sleek kitchen area to the rear of the room and come together at the wooden dining table for delicious, home-cooked meals. After dinner, perch in the window seat to enjoy the sea views, or sink into the sumptuous sofa bed to watch TV. The property has a tranquil twin bedroom with sea views and a stylish bathroom. There is no outside space. However, with a choice of paw-friendly beaches and several footpaths on your doorstep, you’ll have many options when it comes to morning walkies. There is a private parking space for one car in the shared garage.
St Ives is known for its fabulous sandy beaches. Porthmeor Beach, directly outside the property, has a seasonal restriction for four-pawed visitors, although you can still enjoy early morning walks on the sand or a sunset stroll throughout the summer. Alternatively, head along to Bamaluz Beach, just 300 metres away, where Rover can play on the sand all year round. From the cottage, you can take a stroll around the headland known as ‘The Island’, where the views and wildlife-watching opportunities are fantastic, or join the South West Coast Path, which passes right outside the apartment.
