Property code: OC-BAIL06

Set just 150 metres from Porthmeor Beach and St Ives’ vibrant harbour, this traditional Cornish cottage is perfect for friends and families seeking a stress-free seaside break. St Ives’ quaint cobbled streets are lines with copious independent boutiques, galleries, pubs and eateries, whilst art-lovers will enjoy visiting Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden (both 250 metres). Others will enjoy finding a keepsake in one of the many art and craft shops. For a special experience, head to the clifftop Minack Theatre (18 miles) or lose yourself in the romance of St Michael’s Mount (9.5 miles) or take a chilled trip to Mousehole (15 miles). Penzance (8.5 miles), Sennen Cove and Land’s End (17/18 miles) are also worth a visit. St Ives’ Food & Drink Festival is in May, and they hold a Music & Arts Festival in September.

This delightful coastal cottage boasts plenty of charm and character with original features and a blend of traditional and contemporary furniture. From the street, head to the front of the cottage. Once inside, you’ll find steps down to a light and relaxed kitchen/diner with a wooden slat ceiling and beams, exposed stone walls and oak floorboards. Conjure delicious seafood feasts in the rustic kitchen, whilst chatting with friends and family in the offset and stone-walled dining area. Also on the ground floor is the bathroom with a shower over the bath. Heading up to the first floor, you’ll find the light and airy lounge. On the second floor you’ll find two of the well-presented bedrooms, both with TVs and wash basins, whilst the final bedroom is on the third floor, and although it’s spacious but has limited headroom. This room offers glimpses of the sea, and has a TV and DVD player.

Outside there’s a shared alley, with a shed containing children’s beach toys for the use of guests. Although there is no private outdoor space with this property, the beaches of St Ives are within a few hundred metres.

Location is excellent , cottage is dated & shabby but if you want to be in the heart of St Ives you could maybe see past this..... we've stayed twice but won't book again after looking at other properties nearby that are better equipped for the same price.

We have totally fallen in love with 6 baileys lane. Love its beautiful quirkiness, the living area was a lovely family hub space. The property is in the perfect position, so easy to get to Porthgwidden, and the harbour front and of course just a few steps from Forestreet! We will definitely be looking to re book 6 baileys lane next year.
