Bermuda Cottage

Bermuda Cottage is a refurbished historic cottage for six in the Downalong area of St Ives, the old fishermen's quarter of narrow lanes below the town centre. Its three bedrooms comprise a king-size, a double and a set of three-foot bunks, so it works for a family more readily than three couples expecting matched rooms. One bathroom serves all six guests. The living room and main bedroom have glimpses of the sea rather than an uninterrupted view.

Porthgwidden Beach is 200m away, and Porthmeor Beach and St Ives Harbour Beach are both 300m away, putting three beaches within a five-minute walk. Shops, galleries, cafes and the harbour wharf line the cobbled streets in between.

WiFi, parking, a dishwasher, washing machine and garden are all included. The kitchen has quartz worktops and a Belfast sink, with a compact dining table. The bathroom has a 4-foot bath with a shower over, and the main bedroom has its own en suite cloakroom. Dogs are not accepted.

As a historic cottage on a sloping street, internal level changes are likely, so guests with mobility needs should ask the letting agent about stairs, doorways and bathroom measurements before booking.

**Best for:** A family wanting three distinct bedroom types, laundry facilities and three St Ives beaches within a five-minute walk.

**Less good for:** Dog owners, six guests wanting more than one bathroom, or anyone needing confirmed step-free access.
