About the home

A recently renovated magnificent ground floor apartment with outstanding views over the town, of St Ives the harbour and St Ives Bay up as far as Trevose Head.

"Sitting in the curve of the large window, eating breakfast, sipping your morning coffee, you'll see St. Ives come to life each day."

Named after the reef in St. Ives Bay, this recently renovated magnificent ground floor apartment offers outstanding views over the town, the harbour, St Ives Bay and along the dramatic rocky northern coast of Cornwall.

The Stones apartment has large spacious rooms, with traditional granite walls, high ceilings and many period features. The large lounge/diner has a wood style gas stove,, a double sofa bed and original triple doors that open to the main bedroom. The dining table situated in the bay window provides spectacular uninterrupted views.

The main bedroom has superb views over the town, across the bay and up the coast, and if you open the adjoining doors, you can even lie in the kingsize bed and watch the sunrise over the bay.

There is a second bedroom with 2 single beds, and a large wet room with shower, toilet and basin - ideal for rinsing off the sea salt and sand after a day on the beach.

The well equipped large oak kitchen has views over the town and harbour.

The outside courtyard has views over the town of St Ives and the harbour,and leads from the CAR PARK very conveniently situated right next to the apartments.

The St Ives / Porthminster area

On 14th July 2007, The Guardian newspaper named the Cornish culture capital, St Ives, as its seaside town of the year. A star-studded panel of judges, including Bill Bryson, Rick Stein and John Betjeman's daughter, Candida Lycett Green, came to the decision after debating the pros and cons of 12 short-listed coastal towns and cities from across Britain and Ireland.

Stein, known worldwide as the patron of Padstow but who has been going to St Ives since his childhood, was one of many keen advocates of the town.

"The thing I really love about St Ives is that it is on two beaches, so you get two aspects of the ocean, which makes it very romantic and quite unusual for a British resort. I think of it as the big brother of Padstow."

St Ives also scored heavily for its rugged views, exhilarating cliff top walks, the good surf at Porthmeor Beach and, of course, its cultural offerings, with judges keen to note its burgeoning new art talent as well as the Tate Gallery (specialising in modern Cornish art) and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden.

Panel member Alastair Sawday declared, "I have a special love for St Ives...it has everything a seaside town needs". He went on to commend balmy beaches, great surf, fantastic fish, superb coastal walks and an infectious convivial buzz.

Some lesser-known delights of St Ives that came up during the judging process include the regular appearances of basking sharks and seals, the delightful branch line railway link to St Erth, the delicious fish-and-chip takeaway downstairs at the Porthminster Café, and the curious tradition of "silver ball hurling" - during which a silver ball is thrown through the streets by children on Feast Monday in February.

SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST
THE STYLISH SEASIDE TOWN OF ST. IVES IS THE UK’S LAST GREAT BARGAIN
By ALEX ROBERTSON TEXTOR
EXPERIENCE CORNWALL: Charm and coastline in St. Ives.Posted: 3:06 am
August 19, 2008

AS London has become more and more expensive for Americans, Yankee visitors to the capital have collected many a horror story. It is perversely therapeutic to catalogue the outrageous prices for things: $50 for breakfast; $250 for a grubby shoebox of a hotel room with a crappy bed; $8 for a single ride on the Tube.

Behind the hysterical

laughter, there's a panic.

Is there any place in England still affordable?

The answer, of course, is yes. In some cases -

Cornwall, for instance - they are a must-visit.

Despite legions of summertime tourists and a real estate market that has shut out many locals, England's temperate far southwest remains relatively affordable for American visitors.

Cornwall is known for its surfing schools, the cheesy resort town of Newquay, the pristine Isles of Scilly and its untamed coast.

The sixth Celtic nation after Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man and Brittany, Cornwall boasts a resuscitated language, an omnipresent flag and a regional pride that manifests in countless ways. (There's a T-shirt, worn very seriously, with the message, "Cornwall is Next to England . . . like Wales.")

In the first tier of beautiful Cornish seaside towns is St. Ives, an art colony turned beach town whose narrow streets throng with tourists during the balmy summer months.

Long a magnet for artists from the UK and well beyond, the Cornish beach town features everything you might want in a British summer seaside idyll - proximity to an undeveloped coastline, stylish boutique hotels, outstanding restaurants, broad beaches, good surfing, galleries and museums.

St. Ives has its top hotels with rates in the $260-$300 range, of course. What's notable is the range of well-designed guesthouses with far cheaper rates.

Perhaps the most charming is Pebble Hotel, now in its fourth season (high

season doubles from $184).

With modern rooms and outstanding breakfasts, Pebble is a rare value in the UK these days.

You can go even cheaper, though - the very tiny Copper Beech Bed & Breakfast offers a double room for $129 in high season. Also on the lower end of things, simple accommodations can be found at the Atlantic View Guesthouse, where high-season doubles without breakfast can be booked for $107.

For grub, there's the

outstanding Porthminster Café, with its irresistible menu, sourced in large part locally (average lunch $31; average dinner $47).

It's not exactly cheap, but it provides good value for the level of sophistication.

For more budget-conscious gourmands, there's the Cornish Deli, packed with local products. Sandwiches begin at $7, while at dinner, tapas-style dishes run from $10.

The town's artists' legacy is on view at the Tate St. Ives, one of four Tate Museums in the UK. The museum's agenda in part is to provide a context for the emergence of St. Ives as a centre of modernist art production and a home for artists from the 1920s on. (Entrance is $11.50.)

Hikers should hike the almost seven-mile stretch of the South West Coast Path from St. Ives to Zennor.

It's a moderately difficult walk with lots of dips and curves. (Wear hiking shoes!)

The views are awesome, and there's a pub in the gorgeous village of Zennor for post-hike relaxation. Return by bus or group taxi, or bus to Zennor and walk in the other direction back to St. Ives.

The downside of St. Ives, if there is one, is in its very quaint atmosphere, which can feel a bit precious. Yet, with the mist and the fresh air, surfers wandering down to the beach, and bakeries selling Cornish pasties and saffron cakes, St. Ives'

cuteness is inarguably

distinctive.

For all of its charms and character, Cornwall remains one of the least affluent regions in the UK, so it has not escaped the attentions of second-home buyers. Property has become so expensive that many locals have been priced out of home ownership many times over, and some who settled happily in St. Ives decades ago cannot afford to stay.

Luckily, you can still afford to visit.

“A place to stay, as imaginative and pleasurable as St Ives itself” Our holiday was enhanced in three ways, quality and space of our apartment. If we were looking to by an apartment Pednolver would tick all the boxes. We have stayed in many places in St Ives over the years but sitting in the bay window of our apartment overlooking the harbour is the best view I have ever seen. When looking for a holiday we have to rely on advertising in all it's forms, and are very much in the hands of the management. We found an honest approach to both advertising and management that enhanced our expectations. Response: Thankyou for your very kind comments,i'm glad you enjoyed your stay at Pednolver Apartments and your right that view from the front room bay window of Apt 2 is quite something!i hope to see you all again sometime,Mark

“Excellent accommodation with breathtaking views.” The apartment is situated in an ideal location to town centre and beaches with easy access and parking. The views are breathtaking. The accommodation is very comfortable with the master bedroom being wonderfully appointed. Ideal for a romantic getaway for two or for family and friends. We would most definitely book this apartment again. Response: I'm glad you enjoyed your stay in Apartment 2 and i hope to see you all again sometime,Mark

“Superb views in luxurious surroundings and only 5 minutes walk from the Shops!” We had a great stay at this lovely apartment which was equipped with everything you could think of from cooking utensils to tourist guides with Sky TV and Internet included! The living room doubled up as an eating area which afforded fantastic sea views and views across the bustling harbour of St Ives. This was well furnished although I felt that the TV could have been a bit bigger. Especially as Sky Sports/Movies was part of the package - although in St Ives you don't often have the time to sit and watch it! The main bedroom had doors which opened up into the living area which we felt was a great touch. It just meant it increased the living area space and made the property feel more open plan although you could have privacy if you wanted. There was a smaller bedroom further down the hallway toward the kitchen but this wasn't used by us as we were only a couple. The kitchen had all the utensils you could think of, a small fridge and freezer and a washing machine. We self-catered for the entire holiday and the kitchen was perfect for us. At the back of the kitchen was the bathroom and a small hall which led to the main entrance. The bathroom comprised of a wet room which I have to say wasn't our cup of tea. There was a bit too much water on the floor after showering, however the landlord informed us that the bathroom was going to be refurnished sometime soon with a better drainage system and a lip to hold the water away from the wash basin so I guess this won't be a problem in the future. The property also caters for a small dog. As for St Ives then what can I say! It is an idyllic little town which was still busy in the apparent off season of October. There was plenty to see and do, especially if you like shopping, and all the coffee shops and pubs were very accommodating with the dog! As you can imagine the whole place is geared up for tourism and there are plenty of other place around Cornwall to visit however we parked the car up (in the parking space provided with the flat) for the full four days we were there and just enjoyed the atmosphere and the lazy strolls around the town. Response: I'm glad you enjoyed your holiday in St Ives and of course your stay at Pednolver Apartments and i hope to see you again sometime,Mark

“St. Ives at it's best” We had never stayed in St. Ives before and booked this apartment as it looked amazing, had parking and great views. Did it deliver? Yes and more. The booking process was excellent and we already felt that Mark was proud of his apartment and wanted to share that feeling with us. He was there to greet us and show us around and from the first time we looked around we were smitten. The whole appearance of the apartment reflects the essence of St. Ives. It had great art work, was well designed and showed St. Ives off to it's best. Yes the walk up from the town is a bit steep but you can't get the amazing views without the elevation. And once you're sitting looking out of that bay window it's worth every breath. We stayed in Apartment 2 because we wanted the extra bedroom for family - our son and partner from London. They too shared our great feeling for the apartment, the view and the St. Ives feeling. If you want a great stylish apartment with great views of a beautiful place without the hassle of finding a parking space then this is the place for you. Response: Thankyou for your very nice comments i think your review sums up Apartment 2 perfectly and i'm glad you enjoyed your holiday and i look forward to seeing you all again sometime hopefully,Mark
