Tucked away in the picturesque town of St Ives, this charming home is perfectly placed for exploring all that Cornwall has to offer. Step outside and come face-to-face with a sculpture by acclaimed artist Barbara Hepworth, then make your way to Porthminster Beach for a day of relaxation or adventure by the Atlantic Ocean. Back at home, you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay on England’s south coast. Grab a seat by the gorgeous bay windows and lose yourself in a good book or make a beeline for the master bathroom and treat yourself to a long soak in the clawfoot tub. If you’re here to surf, you’ll find plenty of room to dump your equipment here, not to mention a cosy fireplace, perfect for warming up after a day out on the ocean. When it’s time to eat, rustle up a delicious seafood platter in the fully equipped kitchen, then head outside for an al fresco feast beneath the stars. We don’t know about you, but we can’t think of a better way to end the day.
