An enticing cottage nestled in the charming Downalong quarter of St Ives, this delightful retreat makes a great base for a small family or for friends. Sleeping four people, it has three bedrooms and is also happy to accommodate four-legged guests. Tucked away on a very quiet and quaint, traffic-free street, it is 150 metres from the town’s bustling harbour, where you can take a sea safari out to spot dolphins, porpoises and seals. For beach-loves, it is a 2 minute walk to the beaches - 150 metres from Harbour Sands and 350 metres from Porthmeor Beach, while Bamaluz Beach is 500 metres away. Art enthusiasts will enjoy being just 150 metres from the renowned Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden and just 350 metres from famous Tate St Ives.

Open the front door to the cottage and stroll inside to put your feet up in the lounge, with its Smart TV and gas-fired stove. The family bathroom is just down the hall. Also downstairs is the kitchen/diner where you can whip up delicious meals with your own ingredients. Sit down to eat together in here then wander outside into the shared courtyard to have coffee in the fresh air afterwards. Wander up to the first floor to lay your head in either the double bedroom or one of the two singles.

Lovely cottage in a great position to enjoy St Ives. There is no parking or access so be prepared to cart you belongings in and out. Once in, the position couldn't be better - 2 mins to shops, 5 mins to 3 beaches. No welcome pack feels a bit tight given the price

Excellent base to stay in St Ives. Has everything needed. Staircase is a bit tricky if you have sight issues but otherwise brilliant. Everything inside is to a high standard. I would definitely recommend this cottage.

Corner Cottage is a typical little fisherman's cottage, very cute and all higgledy piggledy with the neighbours. The decor is really nice and it is very comfortable. Personally I would have liked net curtains at the windows as people walk by very close, we had to keep the master bedroom curtains closed! The cottage is very well placed for all the bRead moreeaches as well as the shops and harbour front. Hide

Lovely cottage and location, although would have been nice to use the fire but wasnt working and this was one of the things that attracted us to the cottage especially in the winter /over Christmas and new year. Fridge didnt keep things cold and bigger fridge would have been great. Dishwasher not working but reported this along with the other itemsRead more so hopefully these will be up and working again soon.. would book again if all working. Hide

This cottage is just what we were looking for. Id avoid staying in the centre of St Ives in the summer months but in February it was perfect. Youre right in the heart of everything yet its tucked away in a peaceful quaint street. Parking is a few minutes walk away up a steep hill. We bought a weekly permit which was fantastic as we could use it to Read morestay at all the places we visited over the week. The cottage itself has everything youd need and is surprisingly large upstairs offering three bedrooms with lots of storage for clothes. The utility/boot room area downstairs was also a very useful area. Comfortable stay overall. We lost heating and hot water one day but this was fixed the same day Hide
