Sweet Grade II listed fisherman's terrace cottage for 4 (+ 1) close to the centre of bustling St Ives; a place to escape to year-round

A super spot for a car-free holiday, the London to Penzance line is fast and reliable and the cottage, snuggled in a terrace in the centre of town is a five-minute walk from the station. The Lilliputian entrance hides a spacious interior with plenty of room for four: the open-plan kitchen/diner makes cooking and chatting easy. Stock up at any of the excellent foodie places nearby or use your voucher at The Allotment Deli on Fore Street.

St Ives has plenty to do year round: the Tate, Barbara Hepworth's studio, and countless smaller places to discover. There are no fewer than five sandy beaches within walking distance of the cottage: Porthmeor is wildly popular, try the quieter Bamaluz beach to escape the crowds.

Back at base, both light, bright bedrooms have huge beds; one can be split into a twin and has space for a third if you need it. There's a sun trap courtyard garden for evening drinks and a cosy living room with TV, books and games for wet days.

Local points of interest from Gilly Porter:

Punti d'interesse locali da
Gilly Porter:

  • With the beautiful town of St Ives on the doorstep you will never be short of something to do whatever time of year you choose to stay at Little House.
  • The cottage is situated a few yards from the South West Coast Path with stunning walks in either direction.
  • There is a wide choice of restaurants within walking distance but if you want to escape the crowds why not try going slightly further afield to Hayle or Penzance using local taxi’s or the excellent public transport links.
  • If you’d rather cook at home we offer a well appointed open plan kitchen/dining room which is a pleasure to cook and eat in - or a south-facing courtyard garden for al fresco eating. Both the indoor and outdoor tables comfortably seat 6.
  • In colder months the cosy lounge at the front of the cottage is the perfect place to snuggle down in front of the woodburner with comfortable seating and smart TV.
  • If it’s water sports you’re looking for you can surf from Porthmeor beach or go kayaking or stand up paddleboarding from Porthminster beach. Lessons are available in all sports but you need to book early in high season.
