Putting you within walking distance of the cafes, shops and restaurants of Saint Ives – this coastal cottage is ideal for small families or couples looking to explore Cornwall's natural scenery. With a cosy aesthetic inside out, the patio garden offers a sweet spot to enjoy your morning coffee amid the fresh sea air. Outside, you'll also find space to store surfboards and bicycles. Meanwhile, modern interiors ensure comfort and practicality. Although there isn't driveway parking here, the host can set you up with a private parking space just a one-minute walk from home. Dog owners are in luck, as you can bring one friendly pooch along during your stay here too.

Home truths
Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. Private parking for one car is available one minute from the cottage and features a lockable parking post.
Your host can provide a travel cot here, but you'll need to bring your own linens.
There is an enclosed storage area, ideal for beach equipment and bicycles.
A single trundle bed is available in one of the bedrooms, however, we think it will make the space feel a little cramped if used.
While the home can sleep up to five people, the maximum occupancy is four guests.
