This charming cottage is set in the heart of St Ives old town, with the historic harbour and waterfront promenade practically on your doorstep. Ideal for friends or family alongside one or two canine companions, everything you need for a wonderful traditional seaside holiday is within easy reach of this delightful home.
The whitewashed stone walls and ocean-blue woodwork make this cottage a welcome sight after a day of coastal fun. Entering from the street, the open-plan living space has a cosy, homely feel with plenty of comfortable sofa seating and a well-equipped kitchen that will make mealtimes a breeze. Grab a bite on the go at the breakfast bar or gather around the dining table to plan the next day''s activities over a delicious meal. Upstairs, a stylish bathroom awaits tired legs in need of a soak and three light and airy bedrooms invite you to rest in sumptuous beds.
Walk out your door and turn the corner to be met by the ocean. Famed for its incredible natural light and healing sea air, St Ives has been attracting artists and holidaymakers alike for generations. Originally a traditional fishing town, St Ives still has a small working fishing fleet that operates from the pretty harbour quayside behind the cottage. Make sure to sample some fantastic seafood at one of the town''s excellent restaurants or try the famous fish and chips, sparing a nibble for Rover too. The sands of Harbour Beach are less than 50 metres from your door, where a restriction on dogs is in place during July and August between 10am and 6pm. The same restriction applies to all of St Ives'' beaches, including the fantastic Porthmeor Beach, overlooked by one of only four Tate Galleries in the country. For unrestricted year-round seaside fun with furry friends, head to the 2-mile stretch of golden sands running from Gwithian to Hayle and spend the day building sandcastles, swimming, surfing and playing fetch with Fido.
