The Old Bakery Flat And Tremayne

The Old Bakery Flat and Tremayne are two linked apartments in St Ives, sleeping 11 across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, sitting under 100 metres from Porthminster Beach. The pairing works well for two families or a larger group - each unit is self-contained with its own kitchen and living space, but the shared courtyard garden connects them for meals and socialising.

The first property has a reverse-level layout: the main lounge, kitchen, and dining area sit on the upper floor, with exposed brickwork, wooden beams, and a glass-ceiling conservatory room giving views over the harbour and town. Three bedrooms are on the floor below - two doubles with en-suite bathrooms and a twin - plus a shared shower room. A dining table for 6 sits in the main living space. The second property was formerly an art gallery and keeps the high beamed ceilings and exposed brickwork of that past. The sitting room has an inglenook fireplace, and the kitchen-diner leads directly to the shared courtyard. Two bedrooms are on offer here: a double with en-suite rainfall shower and an additional single, plus a further double and a family walk-in shower room.

Outside, a shared courtyard with an orangery seating area connects both properties. On-street parking is available, and the property accepts dogs. Porthminster Beach is south-facing, lifeguarded in season, and has an award-winning cafe on the sand. Porthmeor Beach - the surf beach next to the Tate - is about 500 metres further. Explore St Ives for galleries, coast path access, and the harbour area.

**Best for:** Two families travelling together, groups needing separate living spaces, dog owners wanting direct beach access. **Less good for:** Couples or smaller groups (the combined capacity is 11).
