Flat 1 4 Fernlea Terrace

Flat 1, 4 Fernlea Terrace is a second-floor apartment in central St Ives, one of a pair on the building, sleeping four across a double bedroom and a twin that share one bathroom. The elevated position takes in harbour and sea views from indoors. The lounge and diner has a Smart TV, plenty of seating and a large picture window overlooking the beach and the harbour, and the dining area sits beside a fully equipped kitchen.

Wi-Fi and a washer/dryer are included and up to one dog can stay. Second-floor access likely involves stairs, with no lift mentioned, worth checking for anyone with heavy luggage or reduced mobility.

Porthminster Beach is 100 metres away, St Ives Harbour Beach 200 metres and Porthmeor Beach 500 metres, putting three beaches within a short walk. The Tate St Ives gallery and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden are also within walking distance, along with the town's independent galleries and harbourside restaurants. St Ives has drawn artists to work in its Atlantic light since the 1880s, and the harbour still sees working boats today.

**Best for:** couples, small families or friends wanting central St Ives, harbour views and beaches within a five-minute walk. **Less good for:** anyone unable to manage stairs.
