Indigo

Indigo is a first-floor apartment on Talland Road in St Ives, set within the Gallinas Point development overlooking the coast. The property has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with parking included - a genuine advantage in a town where spaces are hard to come by.

Inside, the open-plan living area combines kitchen, dining, and sitting room, with a seaward-facing balcony opening off the main space. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, electric hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, washer/dryer, and dishwasher. One bedroom has a king-size bed with an en-suite walk-in shower, while the second bedroom has twin beds. A family bathroom with bath and shower over completes the layout. Full Sky TV with Sports and Movies, a Blu-ray player, and WiFi are provided throughout.

The balcony faces toward the sea and comes with outdoor furniture. Porthminster Beach is 300m away - a south-facing, sheltered sandy beach with calm water and an award-winning cafe. St Ives Harbour Beach is 500m in the other direction, right in the centre of town beside Smeaton's Pier.

St Ives has four beaches within walking distance of each other, the Tate gallery on Porthmeor, and a food scene that runs from harbourside fish restaurants to craft cider at the Pilchard Press. A cot and highchair are available, and off-road barrier parking is allocated for one car.

Nearby: Porthminster Beach (300m) and St Ives Harbour Beach (500m). See our St Ives guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for a couple or family of four wanting a central St Ives base with parking and a sea-facing balcony within walking distance of four beaches; less suited to guests wanting a dog along, since Indigo does not allow pets.
