Serendipity Cottage

Serendipity Cottage is a 3-bedroom apartment in St Ives town, sleeping 6 across 2 bathrooms - a flexible layout for families or groups wanting three separate rooms. Porthgwidden Beach is 200m away - a small, sheltered cove below St Ives Island with a seasonal cafe and calm water, well-suited to young children and less confident swimmers. Porthmeor Beach is 300m in the other direction, a longer surf-facing beach with board hire and more consistent swell. Both are walkable from the front door, which removes the need to drive or use town parking during the day.

The apartment includes a wood burner, open fire, BBQ, garden, parking, WiFi, dishwasher, and washing machine. Dogs are welcome. St Ives town centre - with galleries, fish restaurants, and harbour cafes - is within walking distance. This property is right for families or groups of up to 6 wanting to base themselves in central St Ives with beach access in both directions. It is less good for guests seeking seclusion or countryside surroundings - the immediate setting is a residential town area rather than a rural one. St Ives Harbour Beach is a third option within walking distance at 300m. All three bedrooms are upstairs: one has a double bed and the other two have super-king beds, one of which can be split into twins on request. Parking is an allocated space in a private car park on Orange Lane, 15 minutes' walk away.
