Stay just a few steps away from the sand at this wonderful home, right beside St Ives Harbour. Nestled right in the heart of the seaside town, it's the perfect place to kick back and relax between your adventures in the art capital of Cornwall. The interior has a comfy and cosy vibe, with wood-panelled walls and squashy sofas where you can put your feet up and chill out. You can admire the views of the water from the window seat, or gaze out at the sea as you enjoy a hearty home-cooked meal at the dining table. And, when you need some peace and quiet, there are two baths where you can treat yourself to a long, indulgent soak – don't forget a glass of wine. There are several beaches to choose from around St Ives, and you could spend days trying them all out before deciding on a favourite. The town is known for its art scene – there are plenty of independent galleries and studios to visit along with the iconic Tate St Ives. And, foodies will also be in heaven – from fresh seafood to classic pub dishes, there are plenty of eateries to keep you... well-fed nearby.
