Wren Loft St Ives

Wren Loft is a one-bedroom top-floor apartment on a cobbled street in St Ives, sleeping two guests with a sea view from the window seat. St Ives Harbour Beach is around 200 metres from the building, one of the shortest beach walks of any apartment in the town.

One bathroom serves the flat. The shower room is on the floor below the open-plan living space. Guests with a firm bed-size preference should check with the owners before booking. Wi-Fi, a dishwasher and a washing machine are included. There is no garden, but St Ives Harbour is just outside the window. Dogs are not accepted here. The top-floor setting means climbing stairs, so it is a poor fit for anyone who cannot manage them.

St Ives Harbour Beach is 200 metres away, while Porthgwidden Beach and Porthmeor Beach are both around 300 metres. St Ives has drawn artists since the 1880s, and the town's galleries, restaurants and the South West Coast Path are all part of the setting close by. The St Ives guide has more on the wider town.

**Best for:** a couple wanting a compact sea-view apartment near beaches, galleries and restaurants.

**Less good for:** dog owners, or guests with limited mobility.
