No1 Porthgwidden Studios

No1 Porthgwidden Studios is a one-bedroom studio apartment in St Ives for two guests, with a king-size bedroom and two bathrooms, an unusually generous ratio for a stay of this size, and coastal-themed decor throughout.

WiFi, parking, a washing machine and an enclosed garden are included, and one dog can stay. There is no dishwasher.

Porthgwidden Beach is 0.1 miles away, a small sheltered cove between the Island headland and the working harbour where the water stays calm even when swell reaches the more exposed Porthmeor Beach round the headland, a spot popular with families thanks to the sheltered, shallow water. Porthmeor and St Ives Harbour Beach are each 0.2 miles from the apartment. Tate St Ives, on Porthmeor, and the town's galleries reflect an artists' colony that has worked in the light here since the 1880s, when Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson had studios nearby. St Ives itself remains a working harbour town.

The apartment holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating from 25 reviews; staff scores 5, location 4.9, cleanliness and equipment 4.8, and comfort 4.6.

**Best for:** Two guests wanting two bathrooms, laundry, an enclosed garden and three beaches within a few minutes' walk.

**Less good for:** Guests wanting a dishwasher, a sea view, EV charging or verified step-free access.
