5 Copper Kettle

5 Copper Kettle is a top-floor apartment on the St Ives harbourfront, sleeping 2 in one double bedroom with one bathroom. Exposed beams and a high ceiling frame views across the working harbour.

The apartment sits above the Rum and Crab Shack, a bar that hosts live music, so food and entertainment are downstairs but light sleepers should weigh the position carefully. Wi-Fi is included, and children and babies are not permitted - this is adults-only accommodation. A few flights of stairs lead up to the apartment, which has a window seat looking over the harbour, board games and books, and a dressing room off the double bedroom. It is set up for two adults wanting a harbour base in St Ives.

Harbour Sands is across the road, and Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum are a short walk along the harbourside, with restaurants and further galleries nearby. St Ives Harbour Beach is 100 metres away, Porthmeor Beach is 200 metres away and Porthgwidden Beach is 400 metres away. The St Ives guide covers the harbour and the wider town.

**Best for:** adults wanting harbour views, nightlife downstairs and three beaches within walking distance. **Less good for:** families with children, light sleepers or guests requiring step-free access.
