The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse is a two-bedroom apartment at The Belyars in St Ives, sleeping 4 with two bathrooms - one per bedroom, so two couples or a family can avoid sharing.

Wi-Fi, a dishwasher and a washing machine are included, which matters in a town where laundrettes are scarce in peak season. Parking is also provided, removing the need to rely on St Ives' limited and expensive town car parks. There is no garden, and dogs are not accepted, so this suits guests travelling without pets who want to leave the car and walk everywhere.

Porthminster Beach is 400 metres away, St Ives Harbour Beach is 600 metres away and Porthmeor Beach is 800 metres away, putting a sheltered south-facing beach, the working harbour and a surf beach all within a short walk. Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden are also within walking distance. The St Ives guide covers the town's galleries, cobbled lanes and further beach detail.

Changeover day is Friday. Twenty-six reviews give the apartment a rating of 10 out of 10, a strong result for a two-bedroom property in this part of town.

**Best for:** up to 4 guests wanting two bathrooms, included parking and three St Ives beaches within 800 metres. **Less good for:** dog owners, guests needing a confirmed bed layout before booking, or anyone wanting a garden or private outdoor space.
