Arguably one of Cornwall’s best known coastal towns, St Ives is a dream destination for holidays by the sea. If its quaint boutique-lined streets and wonderful atmosphere don’t draw you in, its beautiful beaches, iconic harbour and pristine bay most certainly will, so it’s easy to see why visitors the world over would choose to stay here year in and year out. In the heart of St Ives lies the sought-after Downalong, the oldest and most historic part of the town which is characterised by a tangle of narrow cobbled streets, granite cottages and whitewashed stone, and it’s here that you’ll discover the superb Mariners Cottage. Utterly charming and wonderfully spacious, this character property which sleeps six guests is set over three floors and includes a lovely open plan living room with amply equipped kitchen on the lower and a large separate dining room and double bedroom on the first. The top floor is where you’ll find the second double bedroom as well as a twin, and with every bedroom having its own en-suite, the cottage couldn’t be more versatile or better suited to both families and groups of friends. Tastefully furnished and decorated, the rooms are light, bright and airy thanks to whitewashed original stone and a calming colour scheme of blues and naturals. Beautifully designed for all seasons, a feature gas fire in the lounge keeps things cosy during the cooler months while sash windows throughout the property can be flung open to let the sea air in during the warmer ones. Besides a fabulous foodie scene and plethora of wonderful blue flag beaches, there are plenty of attractions in St Ives for those fabulous days out, all of which are on the property's doorstep. The Tate St Ives perches right beside Porthmeor Beach, so you can take in some of that famous art scene and then step out onto the sand, or if you fancy a walk you’ll have many great coast paths to choose from including the 1.9km route to Carbis Bay.
