Property code: OC-DAVITA

Cute and cosy, this coastal-themed Cornish cottage is the perfect tranquil base to explore the endless picture-perfect walking trails, golden sandy beaches and unique independent shops West Cornwall has to offer with your canine companion in tow.

After adventuring around your surroundings, a fetching neutral colour palette welcomes you into the rustic living room and invites you to curl up with your four-pawed pal on the plush sofa and catch up with your favourite programme on the Smart TV. Lead the way into the generous kitchen/diner which features plenty of space for your pup’s bowl and for you to enjoy special family time around the farmhouse-style dining table. When you can’t resist the call of bedtime any longer, follow your four-legged friend upstairs and wash off mucky paws in the family bathroom before tucking your pup and yourself into either of the tranquil bedrooms to be rewarded with magical far-reaching views of St Ives Bay. Your pup will go mutts exploring the patio and mature borders in the enclosed rear courtyard as you soak up the last of the evening’s sunshine by dining alfresco.

Known as the jewel of Cornwall, St Ives is a picturesque seaside village that has been attracting painters, sculptors and ceramists for decades with its stunning scenery that’ll set wagging. In the shadow of the iconic St Ives Tate gallery, your canine companion will go mutts for a stroll along the mile-long stretch of golden sand at Porthmeor Beach just over half a mile away; have a ball together practising the doggy paddle around the calm turquoise waters before taking the lead to the cobbled streets behind the beach, full of independent shops and award-winning restaurants, to sniff out the best local produce West Cornwall has to offer.

Lovely clean cottage, great space for the three of us and dogs. Easy to walk to st Ives beaches (as long as you realise everywhere is all the way down then all the way up!!!) and to explore wider Cornwall. Please note the garage has a steep run up and scraped the underside of our A4 quite badly. Also there is only one sofa in the lounge along witRead moreh a wooden rocking chair so after a day walking the coast and wanting to settle back and relax our muscles only two could sit on the sofa and someone had to have a hard chair Hide

Lovely cottage well furnished ideal for a long weekend, attention to internet connection, the cleaner needs to have more attention to outdoor tidyness too or someone!, previous occupants left rubbish to rot. A couple more towels would be useful for a week stay. Recommendation to others Yes but ONLY if my complaints are rectified, but unfortunately Read morewe will not be returning. Response from Holiday Cottages - Thank you for your feedback following your recent stay at Sapphire Cottage. We do apologise you had issues with the WiFi, however there was a Sky Outage over the festive period that affected several properties in St Ives and was out of our control. Your other comments regarding the heating and cleanliness have been passed on to the Homeowner. Despite the issues you had experienced, we hope you had a lovely stay in St Ives! Hide

Cosy cottage , nice kitchen and good size lounge. Upstairs is very cramped. Outside is on many levels and very dark at night so was difficult to see. Next door was a mess in fact I thought it was derelict when I first arrived. Is in a good location for the beach but getting the car in and out was a faff.

Excellent cottage with great facilities - the car parking space is a real bonus. Just be mindful of the walk back up the hill (wasnt a problem for us but just be aware it is a walk up a hill). Loved the place and wolill definitely go back.

The cottage had all the necessary for a very enjoyable holiday. It is comfortable and warm, great shower with plenty of hot water and comfortable beds. My only comment is I would not recommend it for anyone who has difficulty with stairs or is infirm, as they are quite narrow and getting suitcases up is not the easiest, although grab handles are fRead moreitted, which helps. Certainly dog friendly with a small gated garden. The walk into St Ives takes about 10 minutes and whilst a bit of a climb back up the hill, very doable and so make the cottage really convenient for the town without having to use the car all the time. Garage a bit narrow, but really useful to protect from those seagulls!! Hide

The cottage was comfortable and well laid out inside. Kitchen could do with some dessert bowls and wine glasses.
