St Ives View

St Ives View is a three-bedroom cottage in St Ives, sleeping 6 with 2 bathrooms. The property has sea views, an enclosed garden, a BBQ, and two balconies. Parking, Wi-Fi, dishwasher, and washing machine are included. No pets.

The cottage sits at Draycott Cottages, Porthminster Point - the elevated residential area above Porthminster Beach. The beach is 500 metres on foot, a south-facing sandy bay with calm water and a cafe open most of the year. The harbour beach is 700 metres, and Porthmeor - St Ives' main surf beach on the north side of the headland - is 0.6 miles. The Tate St Ives gallery is adjacent to Porthmeor, with the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden a short walk from the harbour.

The sea views from the property look south across St Ives Bay towards Hayle and the Godrevy Lighthouse. The garden and BBQ make it a practical choice for summer evenings when St Ives restaurants are busy. Parking in St Ives is one of the most constrained in Cornwall - having one allocated space is a significant practical advantage.

Suits groups of 2-3 couples or families with older children who want to use St Ives as a base for the wider peninsula. Not great for guests with dogs - no pets are accepted. Saturday changeover. 9 Sykes reviews.

Porthminster Beach is 500m from the cottage and one of the most sheltered bays near St Ives.
