5 St Ives

5 St Ives is a mid-terrace cottage arranged across three floors in central St Ives, sleeping 6 across a king-size room, a double and a twin, with one bathroom for the whole group.

The second-floor king-size room has its own balcony with sea views, a private outlook that belongs to that bedroom rather than the main living space. A wood burner sits in the lounge for cooler evenings, Wi-Fi and a washing machine are included, and host Jasmine's listing carries a full 5 out of 5 across cleanliness, equipment, comfort and location. Parking for one car is provided, dogs are accepted and there's a garden, though the cottage has no dishwasher.

Porthminster Beach and St Ives Harbour Beach are each 400 metres away, and Porthmeor Beach is 600 metres away, putting three beaches within easy walking distance. Seafood restaurants and the working harbour are close by on foot, with further detail on the town's galleries and beaches in the St Ives guide.

Only two reviews give the cottage a rating of 5, so the sample is small despite the strong score. **Best for:** families wanting sea views, one-car parking and three beaches within 600 metres. **Less good for:** guests who struggle with stairs, need multiple bathrooms or expect a dishwasher for a longer stay.
