About this property
If quirkiness and dreamy sea views float your boat, then this sweet cottage in St Ives is the place to be. It’s in a prime spot right on the “Lambeth Walk” section of the seafront, offering you a front-row seat to panoramic harbour views and crystal-clear waters. With the immaculate white-sand Porthminster beach, shops, restaurants and pubs just 100 metres away, it’d be hard to find a better location. The property sleeps up to four over its two bedrooms, so is great for a family or two couples holidaying together.
Step inside to a well-equipped kitchen for preparing family feasts and picnic for tomorrow’s exploration. You’ll ascend a few steps to reach a living room with fantastic sea views towards Hayle, Gwithian and the Godrevy Lighthouse – and some binoculars so you can enjoy the vistas to the full. You’ll find plenty to entertain you, with Smart TV, books and board games provided. The upper floor houses a king-sized bedroom with vaulted ceilings and exposed stonework, while the cosy twin bedroom is accessible via some steps down from the kitchen area.
There’s so much to do nearby, whether that’s indulging in some Cornish ice cream or a cream tea or wandering around St Ives’ quirky shops, museums and galleries (all within 0.5 miles). A leisurely 0.5-mile stroll will take you to the renowned Porthmeor surfing beach and the famous Tate St Ives gallery. If you’re keen for a longer walk, join the South West Coast Path 0.5 miles away and make your way to local beauty spots like Clodgy Point (1 mile) and Porthzennor Cove (6 miles) and Gurnard's Head (6.5 miles).

It was a wonderful location and watching people get splashed at high tide was most entertaining. There was lots of laughter outside - it was a very happy spot! We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again. We really loved our stay at Lantern Loft. Perfect location, good facilities and we look forward to booking again.

Lovely cottage really cosy and quirky. Clean and very nice touch leaving biscuits and tea/coffee. Great location to explore St Ives and the views in the morning are breathtaking of the harbour and sea.
