Trevose Apartment

Trevose Apartment is a one-bedroom, ground-floor apartment in St Ives for 2, set in a Victorian terraced house on Draycott Terrace above Porthminster Beach. The beach is about 500 metres away - a south-facing, sheltered stretch with a beachfront cafe and lifeguards in season. The apartment sits at the rear of the main house and is all on one level, making movement around the space straightforward.

Inside, the layout is open-plan: kitchen, lounge, and dining area share one room, with colourful accessories adding warmth to a calm, uncluttered space. A double bedroom leads to a modern shower room. Underfloor heating runs throughout. The apartment has WiFi; there is no parking or washing machine. One dog is welcome.

A shared paved courtyard at the rear has bistro-style table and chairs - practical for morning coffee or an evening drink. St Ives harbour is about 700 metres from the apartment, with the Tate St Ives gallery, Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden, and a dense strip of restaurants and galleries all reachable on foot. Porthmeor Beach, the surf beach below the Tate, is 1 mile away. The town’s art scene has drawn painters and sculptors here since the 1880s - the artist colony is well documented in the St Ives guide.

**Best for:** Couples or solo travellers wanting a central St Ives base close to Porthminster, who are happy without a car or private parking. **Less good for:** Guests needing parking, a washing machine, or extra sleeping space - the apartment sleeps 2 only.
