This cosy two-bedroom apartment set in a traditional townhouse is the ideal base for a coastal family retreat to the lively, welcoming town of St Ives. Its four golden beaches are less than 1 mile away, as well as the bustling harbour lined with excellent local eateries and seaside shops. Known for its thriving art scene, St Ives has plenty of galleries and museums to look around, or adventure-seekers can embark on the South West Coast Path less than 1 mile away.

Head up the flight of steps to the front of the property, where you will be greeted by the open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner, complete with coastal views from the bay windows and a comfortable sectional sofa. The pretty kitchen has all the essentials for family meals together including a lovely four-seater table. Further in the property you will find both bedrooms, including a beautiful exposed stone wall in the double bedroom. With quaint red brickwork and monochrome tiling, the lovely Jack and Jill bathroom is accessed through the double bedroom and the rear lobby with slate flooring, which makes a convenient storage space.

The garden, which has a series of steps along the path and is accessed across the quiet rear lane, is wonderfully planted with shrubbery and has a wooden decking area featuring a table and chairs, perfect for a family meal outside.

Central location. As stated in description note the garden is not directly attached to property and smaller than the picture depicts . The ventilation of property can be an issue as no bedroom windows. Also the smoke alarms are very sensitive and only one window in the living area so we had to open the front door when cooking. This property is centRead morerally located and there are other less steep ways to and from the centre Beach and dog park are close by. Hide

Really good location, 5 minutes walk from Porthmeor beach to the North, and 5 minutes to the main town/harbour area to the East. No parking provided, but there is enough space on the street to unload the car for 5-10 minutes without blocking access. After unloading we parked the car at the Trenwith car park - this is about a 10 minute walk away, doRead morewn and up some steep hills but only costs 26 for a 1 week pass. Always managed to get a space (may be harder during the summer holidays). The flat itself is on the ground floor, few steps down from the backdoor / few steps up to the front door. The main living area and ktichen is really nice and there is a sea view from the window. The main bedroom is quite small, 1x double bed and some shelves. It is attached to a large en-suite bathroom. The flat also has a seperate WC and a small room with bunk beds and a wardrobe. The flat was a decent enough size for the 2 of us and the dog, it would probably be quite tight for 4 people though. Would definitely stay again as it is great for getting to the best parts of St Ives quickly (coming back up the hills might not be as swift though!). Hide

Great little holiday property and fantastic location. Parking is a nightmare though. It is double yellows or permit holders only, everywhere. The owners should really consider providing a permit for guests to use. It seems plenty of others do this already. The car park that is near by is very small and always full. You have to keep driving round anRead mored round until you get a space. Lots of people doing this so it can take a long time to get a space. When you have a dog and lots of bags, this is not very practical. I would recommend the property but I feel the parking needs to be made aware to guests more. Hide

Nice sized property for 2 people in a good location for beaches and town. It's up a hill, so if you would struggle with this, then it's not for you.
