About this property

The inviting lounge has cosy seating and a Smart TV to watch your favourite show after a day on the beach. The spacious dining room boasts high ceilings and exposed beams, perfect for a celebratory meal, catching up with friends or playing a game of cards. The kitchen has everything you need to whip up some tasty treats. Upstairs you’ll find a shower room and three bedrooms - one super-king-size, one double and one single.

Walkers will love having access to the South West Coast Path, and the views when walking out to Clodgy Point are well worth the effort. In the other direction, walk along the beaches passing Carbis Bay (1.5 miles) to Porthkidney Beach (3 miles). For a day away from the coast, the kids will love Paradise Park and Jungle Barn (5 miles). Head south to the opposite coastline, and in less than 10 miles, you will reach Marazion Beach with spectacular views of the iconic St Michael’s Mount.

A superb, comfortable cottage in a great location - within easy reach of everything in St Ives (beaches, shops, harbour, museums) whilst being in a quiet and peaceful area. Perfect for a family holiday and highly recommended; we'd happily stay there again!

Fantastic little cottage in a great location. Had everything we needed and was clean and modern. Road is steep, but you get used to it!
