This well-appointed holiday home is less than half a mile from both St Ives Harbour and Porthgwidden Beach. Perfect for a romantic getaway or family holiday, the property enjoys an enviable location, within half a mile of Fore Street and The Wharf. St Ives is a beautiful seaside town and one of Cornwall’s top destinations. It has attracted painters, sculptors and ceramists for decades thanks to its picturesque scenery and natural quality of light, and you’ll find a Tate Gallery in the town centre. St Ives arcs around the working harbour, which is the heart of the historic fishing community. Take a wander through the charming cobbled streets to discover gift and craft shops galore, as well as art galleries, top-notch restaurants, and welcoming local pubs. St Ives also boasts four fantastic beaches: Porthmeor, Porthgwidden, Harbour Beach, and Porthminster. This holiday home is 115 metres from the golden sands of Harbour Beach, where children will enjoy building sandcastles, exploring the rock pools, and playing beach games. The town has a busy events calendar through the year, including the St Ives Food & Drink Festival each May, and a Music & Arts Festival in September.

The property has been refurbished whilst retaining many of its original features and character. Enter the property from Baileys Lane, stepping into the kitchen. Take the stairs to the first-floor Lounge/Dining room, where you can snuggle up on the comfortable sofa for movie night or sit down to a family feast at the sociable dining table. The first floor also benefits from a shower. On the second floor, you’ll find a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, plus a bathroom with a shower over the bath. On the third floor (attic), you’ll find a further double bedroom with sloping ceilings and views of the sea, harbour, and beyond. All of the bedrooms have TVs.

Fantastic location with the added bonus of a parking space at Porthgwidden. We had a lovely holiday, with everything you could need apart from fantastic weather! Lots of stairs so perhaps not great for those with mobility issues, however, my 91 year old mum managed ok, although there was a few grumbles at times. Only negative for all of us weRead morere the pillows. They were not the best. Hide

We absolutely loved Opeway Cottage! We've been going to St Ives for years with our children and this year the boyfriends wanted to come along, so we were looking for a bigger property. Opeway suited us all perfectly and we have come home with some very special memories. The location was perfect for us, and even though it is very near Fore street, bRead moreecause it isn't accessible by car, the property is really quiet....which was a huge surprise. We are in the holiday business ourselves and have high standards, but Opeway couldn't be faulted. The linen was fabulous too and the two beautiful bathrooms were a huge surprise! We've always had quite basic accommodation in St Ives so really appreciated a great shower ! Thank you so much! Opeway will be top of our list next time we visit! Hide

Comfortable property in a great location. Yes, there are a lot of narrow stairs and the top bedroom does have some sloping ceilings but that did not really bother us, but may be a factor for others. The bathrooms were particularly nice. Comfortable beds, on the firm side if that's an important factor for anyone.

Fantastic location, easy to get to Fore street and the harbour. Excellent having an allocated car parking space. Bumped our heads a few times on the low ceilings of the top bedroom so moved down to the middle floor. Cottage included everything you would need including two bathrooms.

Had a really enjoyable holiday. The cottage was as described on the website and was spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you could need. The only suggestion I would make is maybe having blinds in the kitchen as felt very exposed as people could see in when walking by and also felt worse at night with the lights on however this didnt tRead moreake anything away from how lovely the cottage is. The location was perfect for us as close to the harbour front and the shops and restaurants. Would stay here again. Hide
