Eias Loft St Ives

Eias Loft is a one-bedroom apartment for two in central St Ives, with two beaches within 200 metres of the courtyard entrance. Vaulted ceilings and skylight windows give the open-plan living area its character.

The king-size bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, and Porthmeor Beach is the nearest sand. Wi-Fi, a dishwasher and washing machine are included, and up to two dogs are accepted. Parking is available nearby rather than at the door: Sloop Car Park is about 190 yards away. The central position also cuts down on needing a car during the stay. The kitchen has a breakfast bar, a coffee machine and a milk frother, and the bathroom has a shower over the bath.

Porthmeor Beach and St Ives Harbour Beach are each 200 metres away, with Porthgwidden Beach 400 metres from the apartment. The Tate St Ives gallery and the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden, both within the town's artists' quarter, are also a short walk away. The St Ives guide covers the harbour, galleries and coastal walks in more detail.

**Best for:** a couple wanting beaches, galleries and central St Ives within a short walk, especially when travelling with dogs.

**Less good for:** guests who need step-free access.
