The Sail Loft
Dog-friendly 3-bedroom apartment in central St Ives, 300 metres from Porthminster Beach, sleeps 5
The Sail Loft is a 3-bedroom apartment in central St Ives, sleeping 5 across 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The address - Royal Square, just off the town centre - puts guests within a few minutes' walk of three beaches, the harbour, and the main restaurants. Dogs are welcome and 62 previous guests have reviewed the property.
Inside, the apartment includes Wi-Fi, parking, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. The layout is compact across the upper floors of a town-centre building, which suits guests who want to be in the middle of things rather than driving to the beach.
Porthminster Beach - a south-facing sandy beach with lifeguards and an award-winning beachfront cafe - is about 300 metres away. Porthmeor Beach, the Atlantic surf beach on the north side of the headland, is under 500 metres. The Tate St Ives gallery sits directly above Porthmeor. The Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden is a short walk from Royal Square. See the full St Ives guide for restaurants, galleries, and beaches.
**Best for:** Groups wanting to be in the centre of St Ives with no need for a car; dog owners happy with a town-centre apartment close to beaches and evening dining.
**Less good for:** Guests wanting outdoor space - there is no private garden. The central location means street noise is likely in the evenings during peak season.
