Atlantic Retreat 10a Ventnor Terrace

Atlantic Retreat occupies the first floor of a traditional St Ives townhouse on Ventnor Terrace at the top of Porthmeor Hill. Two bedrooms sleep four - a king-size room and a bunk bedroom - and the lounge and main bedroom both take in sea views across to The Island. Porthmeor Beach is 400 metres away; the harbour beach and Porthminster are both within 500 metres.

The apartment is well positioned for anyone who wants quick access to the town's galleries, cafes, and coastline. Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden are within a 10-minute walk. WiFi, a washing machine, and parking for one car at street level are included.

Access is important to note - the apartment is reached by steep steps, so it is not good for guests with mobility restrictions. Parking for one car is located at the bottom of the steps rather than adjacent to the front door. The bunk room works for children but is compact for adults.

The property carries a 3.7 rating from 14 guests, with cleanliness noted as the stronger category. Suitable for families with children who are confident on steps. Ideal for couples who want a central base in one of the most visited towns in Cornwall without paying harbour-front prices. Not great for guests who need level access or need to carry a lot of equipment to the front door.
