Throughout the house there are lovely features such as the solid oak floor in the lounge with its 37" flat screen TV and small library of DVDs and CDs, or the free standing bath in the master en suite bedroom. There are games and cards for rainy days and/or convivial evenings.

The West Country / Cornwall region
St Ives makes a perfect base for discovering West Cornwall's many other attractions. The oldest golf course in Cornwall is just a few miles away; there is bird watching on the protected bird sanctuaries at Lelant Saltings or Marazion marshes; horse riding across the nearby moors; a selection of subtropical gardens; miles of coastal paths; and the world-famous Eden Project, Minack Theatre and St Michael's Mount are just a short drive away. Or, if you feel inclined to venture 'abroad' take a day out to the Scilly Isles either by helicopter or ship from Penzance. There is something for everyone.
And, for those whose holiday revolves around food, St Ives has many fine restaurants - world-class chefs drawn to the area by an abundance of local grown produce and fresh fish - making for a truly cosmopolitan dining experience at a price to suit every pocket.

Further details
The St Ives cottage is just off the main harbour area, close by to all local amenities and beaches, ideal for a family holiday. However, due to the fact that there are six steps up to the front of the cottage, we do not consider it to be “wheelchair friendly”.
But from the point of view of convenience, it is in an enviable position, so close to everything.
