Rocky Close

Four-bedroom house on the edge of St Ives, sleeping eight with four en-suite bathrooms, a private hot tub, an open fire, and an enclosed garden. EV charging is included.

Four double bedrooms each have their own bathroom, a layout that suits two families or a mixed group. The open fire and hot tub extend this into a viable autumn and winter booking. Dishwasher, washing machine, and wi-fi are included. Changeover day is Saturday. A cot and a highchair are available, and there is a pub or shop within a mile. One well-behaved pet is welcome, except in July and August.

Porthmeor Beach is 800m on foot - the surf beach on St Ives' north side, with a beach cafe and the Tate St Ives gallery positioned directly above the sand. The harbour beach is 0.6 miles, and Porthminster - a sheltered south-facing bay with a well-regarded beach restaurant - is 0.7 miles. The town centre, with its independent galleries, fish restaurants, and the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden, is walkable in under 15 minutes from the house.

Best for: groups of up to eight wanting a St Ives base within walking distance of three beaches, with en-suite comfort and a hot tub for evenings.
