Mary Anne Sailors

A typical St Ives fisherman’s cottage with a gleaming white façade and sea blue accents, the perfect spot for immersing yourself in the hustle and bustle of this always-artistic coastal town. St Ives is a tourist favourite for so many reasons, and the prime location of this cottage puts you at the very heart of it. Wander out to find attractions including the Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Museum and Gallery within 0.5 miles, or simply admire the painters capturing the moment as you mosey to one of six beaches. Those holidaying with dogs must discover the ‘secret’ Bamaluz Beach (0.5 miles), just be sure to time it well as the high tide completely immerses the sand. Jump in the car or simply follow the never-ending South West Coast Path into the depths of the Penwith Heritage Coast and discover stunning beauty spots along the way, including the fantastic viewing point of Land’s End (19 miles).

This cosy little town centre cottage really does put every inch of space to great use, offering an abundance of space for the whole family to settle in. Step down into the open-plan living space where fresh interiors meet a bright and cheerful colour scheme, an aesthetic that’s continued throughout the holiday home. Although open plan, the kitchen/diner and lounge are separated by a feature wall made of wooden beams which lend an additional feel of privacy to your space. Whether you’re cooking or ordering in, the kitchen and dining space is on-hand to offer you a sociable dinner time. Step through into the lounge to sink into comfortable leather sofas and catch up on an unmissable film or box set before heading up to bed. Although compact, each of the three bedrooms boasts enough space for an extremely comfortable night’s sleep and space to stow away clothes and belongings. Finally, a shared bathroom completes the accommodation offering.

The property doesn’t have access to a garden or patio but instead benefits from almost instant access to the town centre’s amenities and attractions, including the generous offering of sandy beaches which you can make your back yard for the week.
