A unique and beautifully designed artist’s cottage full of original and interesting features, with an idyllic, sunny and secluded raised garden. It is situated in a quiet lane close to the Barbara Hepworth and Trewyn gardens, and is two minutes stroll from the main shopping street, restaurants, harbour and sandy beaches. It has two good sized bedrooms (one with a double bed and one with two singles), and comfortably accommodates four people. Both bedrooms look out over the garden and sea beyond.

The cottage has been stylishly renovated with a light and airy open plan feel with many sky lights and different levels giving it a distinctive and original feel. The many hand made features include the unusual woodburner and fireplace, hand-made tiled worktops and natural rose coloured slate floor in the kitchen, wooden shutters on the bedroom windows and hand-crafted woodwork throughout.

The sunny conservatory / dining room is set at lawn level and is surrounded by the beautiful raised garden and curved deck full of subtropical plants, flowers and fruit trees. The garden faces both South and East and looks down over the harbour. It is a magical place to lie in a hammock under the tree canopy on the deck, to have breakfast on a sunny morning, looking down over the sea, or to enjoy dinner at the garden table surrounded by Jasmine and Passion flowers.

The architect designed bathroom is set on a mezzanine level and is light and airy with access directly onto the garden. The gas central heating (modern underfloor heating under the maple floor downstairs including in the conservatory, and radiators upstairs in the bedrooms and bathroom) makes the cottage a warm and welcoming environment whatever the time of year.

There is a pretty slate-roofed shed in the garden for storing beach gear, surfboards etc. Some beach items, an outdoor table, chairs, a hammock and BBQ are provided.

The Cottage contains a washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, TV, DVD with CD player and radio, a selection of DVD’s and books, and a hairdryer. There is also a travel cot and a baby bath if requested. Tea, milk, biscuits, and more details of where to park will be at the Cottage when you arrive.

Gas and electricity are included in the rental.

Duvets and pillows are provided for all beds, however guests are required to bring their own bed linen and towels. Bed linen can be supplied by prior arrangement at £10 per person.

Bookings are from Friday to Friday in order to avoid the long traffic queues coming into Cornwall on a Saturday.

The cottage can be occupied from 3pm on day of arrival and must be vacated by 10am on day of departure.

We do not allow pets or smoking within the property.

There is no parking directly at the cottage as with most accommodation in the heart of St. Ives, but you can pull directly up to the door to unload. Barnoon carpark is a couple of minutes walk away and residential free parking at the top of the road and beyond where available.

Weekly tickets are available in all of the towns car parks
