Carrack Vean

Carrack Vean is a detached three-bedroom cottage for six in St Ives. The bedrooms comprise a super-king, a super-king zip-and-link that can become twins on request, and a double. Two bathrooms serve the group.

A hot tub sits in the three-tiered garden, and the property also has multiple wood burners, a barbecue, vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. WiFi, parking, a dishwasher and washing machine are included, but there is no EV charging or step-free access. Dogs are not accepted.

The South West Coast Path runs beside the property. Porthminster Beach is 0.5 miles away, St Ives Harbour Beach is 0.7 miles and Carbis Bay is 0.7 miles, all within walking distance along the path. St Ives itself has four beaches and the Tate St Ives gallery on Porthmeor, part of an artists' colony that has drawn painters to the town since the 1880s.

The rating is 5 out of 5 from only three reviews, with cleanliness, equipment, comfort and location each scoring 5, though the small sample makes the score less dependable than a longer track record. Host Paula manages the booking.

**Best for:** Families or friends wanting flexible beds, a hot tub, wood burners and direct coast-path access.

**Less good for:** Guests expecting verified sea views, EV charging, a stated dog limit or accessible accommodation.
