Rooftops

Rooftops is a 2-bedroom flat on Tregenna Hill in St Ives, sleeping 4 across 2 bathrooms. The address puts you about 200 metres from Porthminster Beach, a sheltered south-facing bay with a café-restaurant directly on the sand. Porthmeor - the town's surf beach - is half a kilometre in the other direction.

The flat includes wifi, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. There is no on-site parking. St Ives in summer fills up fast: the branch line from St Erth and the Lelant park-and-ride are both practical alternatives to driving in. Rated 4 from 6 reviews on Sykes.

Tate St Ives sits at the top of Porthmeor, and the old town's mix of independent galleries, fish restaurants, and the working harbour is all on foot from here. The Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden is a ten-minute walk. St Ives operates Saturday changeovers.

Best for couples and small families who want a central base with everything walkable and no car required once they arrive. Less good for groups needing private outdoor space or parking - there is no garden and no allocated bay.

Highlights include proximity to 3 distinct beaches within 500 metres, walking access to Tate St Ives and Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden, a dishwasher and washing machine for longer stays, and 6 guest reviews averaging a 4-star score.
