41 Back Road West

Soak up the artistic temperament with a stay in sunny St Ives, spending your time in this expertly converted fisherman’s cottage on one of the town’s seaside streets. Whether you’re out on a romantic retreat or a small family holiday, St Ives is certain to impress. Each cobbled street in this characterful town seems to lead to one of the wide sandy beaches. Your closest beach, Porthmeor Beach, is less than 500 metres away and boasts excellent surf. From here you can view the imposing Tate St Ives, a modern art gallery that’s a must-visit along with the Barbra Hepworth Sculpture Museum and any number of independent galleries (all less than 0.5 miles). Alternatively, if you prefer to get out on the water, head to the harbour (less than 500 metres) to take a sea safari tour or embark on a deep sea fishing expedition.

With its exposed brickwork and painted beams, this Grade II-listed cottage is brimming with charm and intrigue. Head up a short flight of external stone steps to enter the terraced property. You’ll instantly feel at home with the lovely lounge that’s decorated in neutral tones and comes complete with an electric fire emitting a warm glow on colder nights. Here you’ll find plenty of seating, a TV/DVD PLAYER and a speaker system with an iPod dock – which makes this the perfect place to relax. On a night where you don’t visit one of St Ives’ many renowned restaurants, head into the kitchen/diner to cook up something good on your own. This sunny room is well equipped with a cosy breakfast table set for three. Completing the ground floor offering is a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower. Two bedrooms have been designedly fitted into the compact first floor, always making the very most of the space. A spacious double bedroom sits alongside a snug and utterly inviting single.

The absence of a garden won’t cause too much bother throughout your stay, simply head out and enjoy time on the wide stretch of sand less than 100 metres from your doorstep.
