St. Ives is one of Cornwall's most picturesque harbour towns, with its winding lanes and quaint cottages clustered along the water's edge. Visitors can also enjoy the town's proximity to the Tate Gallery and the Barbara Hepworth Museum, as well as its beautiful beaches, excellent shopping, and thriving artistic scene. It's easy to see why this is the best vacation spot in the county, with its semi-Bohemian atmosphere and romantic vibe.

Exactly as described. Everything was fantastic quality, from beds to kitchen utensils. Ideally located, away from the traffic but a stoneâs throw away from beach, shops, restaurants. Perfect - highly recommend & will be back asap!

Easy parking and access. House very comfortable and well equipped with views from the windows and balcony to die for. Sunny weather helped, but even when it rained on the last day, it was atmospheric. We visit Cornwall a lot and would be keen to stay in this amazing house again.

Very well equipped . Other than our inability to find coffee machine pods that fitted we could not fault a single thing. Location and parking were perfect and of course the sea views were to die for. The lovely weather certainly helped. We would love to come again next year .
