Shellseekers - Self-catering house in Cornwall
8 Bethesda Hill, St Ives, TR26 1PB, Cornwall
England,
Regno Unito
Pop out of the door and trot down the hill – the harbour is 20 steps away. Take the dog and head for the sands: Bamaluz Beach is two minutes. This quaint fisherman’s cottage is tucked between others on a cobbled lane in the heart of St Ives.
The interior is fresh, beautiful, and cleverly reconfigured to make the most of the space. Up from the kitchen/sitting/dining room is the bedroom under the eaves; down is a TV snug where friends can stay, with a wet room alongside.
Set off on the coastal path via Zennor (six miles) and get the bus back: the scenery is stunning. Make the most of Cornish produce and sea views at Porthminster Kitchen; enjoy a pie, a pint and live music at the ancient Sloop Inn. Come home to bath robes, Bramley soaps and lotions, toasty floors, and a wood-burner – deeply cosy, even in winter.

Local points of interest from Sarah Pope:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Sarah Pope:
- The cottage was once a fish cellar as St Ives was a busy fishing port in years gone by, but it bears no resemblance to its former origins now.
- There are 3 sandy beaches within 5 minutes' walk, one of which is designated for dogs all year round - up to 2 dogs are very welcome at the cottage! Sit on our bench at the front of the cottage, sipping wine and gazing at the sandy St Ives Harbour Beach.
- Shellseekers is located in the centre of Downalong (the most desirable part of St Ives), perfectly located for the numerous restaurants, pubs and bars of St Ives. The best coffee shop in town is just a couple of minutes away.
- St Ives Food & Drink Festival is held on Porthminster Beach each May, with many lovely independent food stalls to try.
- The cottage is surrounded by wonderful opportunities for sketching or painting for keen artists and two of Cornwall's major artistic hubs (The Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth museum) are within easy walking distance.
- Book a walk or workshop with Wild St Ives to learn about foraging for wild foods along the coast with their local expert. Showcase Wellbeing offers workshops and yoga classes in their studio overlooking the harbour, and on Porthminster Beach.
