Owner Profile
How long have you owned the property?
I have owned it since April 2018
What was it about the property that you first fell in love with?
The property was new build and instantly loved the design, the clever use of natural stone and cedar, large expanse of glass and the stunning views across Carbis bay and inland combined with the use of an air source heat pump to provide underfloor heating and hot water
Are there any interesting stories in its history?
Lots of history in the area, located 300 metres from the Steeple and some of the best views of Carbis Bay
Do you have a favourite room in the property?
Open plan living kitchen dining room, never get bored there, sitting cooking or eating
For anyone coming to stay is there anything in the surrounding area they should...
Really do? So many things to do and see, obviously the Tate St Ives, Barbara Heprowth Museum & Garden any one of the 5 beaches in St Ives and or Carbis Bay beach, our favourite is Port Kidney Sands near Lelant, 30 mins walk along the coast path or a few minutes drive from Cedar Lodge.
Really eat? One of our favourite places to eat is Porthminster Beach cafe or the Halsetown Inn that have fantastic lunch specials
What insider tip would you pass on about the property or the area?
St Ives and surrounding area is well known for its very beautiful town and idyllic setting, but we recommend taking the coast path to villages like Zennor or Lelant and a wonderful walk from Lelant to Marazion, is the St Michaels Walk, the old pilgrim route ending at St Michaels Mount, in itself worth a day on its own to explore
Reviews

St Ives Cottage is ideally located
A quiet spot but a 15 minute walk to the beach (or the pub). The house was spotlessly clean, well appointed throughout. The living areas are airy with plenty of space. The view from the lounge is amazing. Very comfortable furnishings, big comfy beds too. We enjoyed a wonderful stay at St Ives Cottage.
