Discover a new leash of life after a short stay in St Ives, a coastal artists'' town in the ever-popular Cornwall. Boasting a marvellous base for all dog-friendly getaways, this lovely cottage hosts a pack of four holidaymakers and one canine companion. Travel to this seaside destination with family or friends and man’s best friend in tow, spending quality time fetching and exploring the surrounding coast before heading home each day for relaxed nights in.

Arrive home and step into the porch, taking a moment to wipe off any sandy fur or wet paws before making yourself comfortable inside. There’s a WC right here, ideal when returning home after that long dog walk! In the lounge, you’ll find a large, plush sofa for sinking into after a strenuous day. Settle down to a night of box set binging or blockbuster movies as Rover cosies up and drifts off at your feet. You can leave sleeping dogs to lie right here as you venture up to bed, wandering up a flight of stairs to find a double and a twin bedroom on the first floor. Back on the ground floor, a kitchen and a family bathroom complete the accommodation offering.

This property couldn’t be in a better location for exploring St Ives on two feet (or four paws). Step outside to find yourself amongst beaches, cobbled streets and independent shops within mere metres. The town offers two beaches with absolutely no dog restrictions, the closest of which is less than 500 metres from home, along with further beautiful beaches where pups are free to roam off-season. For adventures a little further away, embark on a journey along the coast to find Gwithian Beach (8.5 miles), Land’s End (18 miles) or the town of Penzance (8.5 miles) a short distance from home.

This property is advertised as having 2 bathrooms, in reality it has one shower room with a sink, the one toilet in the building is separate, they are located on the ground floor at opposite ends of the building, the toilet being as far away as it can be from the bedrooms. The floor space in the shower room is less than 4 square meters and has restRead morericted access. We are 57 and 6 and we needed to duck going in and out. The stairs are steep and narrow, safety would be improved with a bannister at the top. There was no welcome pack, which was a shame for us having travelled by train, arriving at 8.30pm, then had no choice but to find a shop still open in the town. It was clean and the location is great being near to the beach and shops, would suit anyone less than 55. Hide

What a lovely cottage in an amazing location in St Ives. A minute walk to the harbour and a couple of minutes walk to the beautiful beaches. I would definitely recommend this cottage and would definitely stay here again.

Shell Cottage is in a perfect location for both Porthmeor beach and the harbour. The outdoor space at the front and the back of the cottage is perfect for wetsuit drying. The outdoor tap is ideal for washing sand off feet so you don't end up with sandy floors downstairs. We would definately stay here again and will recommend to others.

Nice little cottage ideal for 2 adults and 2 children. Well equipped kitchen and new shower room. Quite steep steps in property. Toilet separate which is in the farthest point from the bedrooms and has no heating in it. Cottage did have a damp smell whilst we stayed. No welcome tray offered. Booked as a last minute short break over Christmas.

Fantastic location right on the sea front and near to all of the cafes. Lovely big sofa and flat screen TV in the lounge with Netflix. The newly renovated kitchen and bathroom were lovely. The shower was great and powerful. Beautiful fresh cut iris flowers in the kitchen which bloomed during our week stay.
