Fond Memories Cottage, The Digey

Fond Memories Cottage is a two-bedroom cottage in The Digey, one of the oldest lanes in St Ives, sleeping five across four floors. The address puts it a few steps from Fore Street and directly between the harbour and Porthmeor Beach, which is 100 metres away.

The cottage runs over four floors, with a kitchen at street level complete with breakfast bar and two barstools. The living room on the first floor has two sofas, a Smart TV, and window seats with views across the lane. Original stonework and deep window reveals are visible throughout. The second floor holds a double bedroom with its own window seat and a family bathroom with a bath and rain-head shower. A top floor second bedroom fits a double bed and a single, with sea glimpses over the rooftops. A washing machine is provided, and the cottage is dog-friendly.

Porthmeor Beach is 100 metres from the front door - the surfing beach with the Tate St Ives gallery at its back. The harbour beach is 200 metres in the other direction. Fore Street’s independent shops, galleries, and cafes are immediately accessible. The Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden is a few minutes’ walk up from the harbour.

Best for couples or families who want to be at the centre of St Ives, with two of the town’s beaches on the doorstep and galleries within a few minutes’ walk. Less good for those who want easy parking - The Digey is pedestrian-only and the nearest car park is a short walk.
