Serenity House

Serenity House is a five-bedroom Victorian terrace in central St Ives, sleeping 10 across a king-size room, two doubles and two bunk rooms. The bunk rooms make this a house built more for families than for five couples, and three bathrooms serve the group. The king-size room has an en-suite shower room, and a steep staircase leads up to a double bedroom in the attic with its own private WC.

An elevated garden looks out across St Ives Bay, giving the house an outdoor space with a view alongside the contemporary comforts inside. Wi-Fi, a dishwasher and washing machine are included, and parking for two cars is a genuine advantage in a town where street parking is limited. Up to two dogs can stay.

Porthminster Beach and St Ives Harbour Beach are each 300m away, with Porthmeor Beach 400m further - three beaches within easy walking distance of the front door, plus the town centre itself around 350m off. Cafes, galleries and the Tate St Ives sit within the same short walk.

**Best for:** families wanting five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two parking spaces and three beaches within 400m.

**Less good for:** five couples wanting equal rooms, or guests needing step-free access.
