Beautifully renovated Fisherman's Cottage, fantastic Downalong location

This is a beautiful renovated Fishermans Cottage situated in a quiet road in the heart of Downalong. The property is nestled between three fabulous family beaches Porthmeor perfect for a spot of surfing, Porthgwidden which has a lovely safe beach perfect for families and the Harbour Beach with the fabulous backdrop of St Ives . We are a 2 minute walk to the shops and outstanding restaurants, the Tate and the Barbara Hepworth musuem. St Eia's location will provide a fabulous base with which to explore all St Ives has to offer.The cottage has been lovingly restored it has still retained a number of features but with a modern feel. This cottage would provide an excellent base for a family beach holiday nothing is too far because of its location you can pop backwards and forwards very easily and everything is on the flat no carrying surfboards up hills! The property is arranged over 4 floors, with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There is a modern fully equipped kitchen, dining area with welcome hamper on arrival. There is a large comfortable lounge with high ceilings. The third floor has one bedroom with twin beds and a bathroom on that floor. On the top floor there is a double bed with glimpses of the sea and an en-suite, that comprises of a shower toilet and hand basin. The cottage has fast Wifi access. We have made sure that you have all that you could possibly need, however if you find you need anything further or encounter any problems or issues during your stay, there is a local housekeeper on hand to help you. Entry to the property is by key-safe.

Nice cottage in an excellent location
Very good cottage in a perfect location, only slight negative would be that it spans 4 floors so was a bit of a pain going upstairs / downstairs but that’s not really a big issue

Fantastic position
We had a great holiday in your cottage, everything we needed was at hand. We especially liked that it was in a quieter part of St Ives but incredibly near to a nice beach. We also liked that fact that it's near to great restaurants and shops.

Just lovely
We stayed there (3 adults) for 3 nights and had such lovely time. The house instantly makes you feel at home as soon as you walk through the door. It is decorated with so much thought given and love, I really enjoyed it. Also the welcome pack was such a lovely addition. Best of all is the very central location to the harbour and the main shopping areas, as well as the Tate Gallery. It literally is the perfect location in St. Ives. We had such a wonderful time and will definitely be back.
