12 Channel View

12 Channel View is a 4-bedroom townhouse in St Ives sleeping 8 across 4 bedrooms - 1 king-size, 1 double, and 2 twins - with sea views from the top floor and 2 bathrooms plus an outside shower. Private parking and a dog-friendly walled patio garden at the rear make it practical for a full group of 8 in a town where parking is scarce and space at a premium.

The bedroom mix covers couples, families, and groups of friends without the awkward bunk-bed compromise common in St Ives properties. WiFi and a dishwasher and washing machine are included. The layout is spread across multiple floors, so it works better for guests comfortable with stairs.

Porthmeor Beach is 400 metres downhill - St Ives' main surf beach, with the Tate St Ives gallery sitting directly above the sand. The harbour beach and St Ives Harbour Beach are the same distance in the opposite direction. Porthminster Beach - calmer, south-facing, with a well-known cafe - is 500 metres away. The Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden is around a 10-minute walk through the town. St Ives has 4 beaches within walking distance, several galleries, and a food scene that includes fresh fish restaurants and harbour-side cafes.

**Best for:** Families or groups of 8 wanting a central St Ives address with sea views, private parking, and dog access; art-focused trips using the Tate and Hepworth as the anchor.

**Less good for:** Guests with limited mobility given the multi-floor layout; those wanting a quiet, rural retreat - Channel View sits in the heart of the town.
