A beautiful modernised 2 bedroom cottage in Downalong, the old fishing quarter completely enclosed by the harbour and surrounding sandy beaches.
In a quiet courtyard yet close to shops, pubs, restaurants and just steps away from Porthmeor beach.
Allows one dog.

The space
The Loft is a 2 bedroom cottage refurbished to a very high standard.

Situated in the old fishing quarter and conservation area of Downalong, the very heart of old St Ives full of twisting turning narrow streets scattered with many art galleries, great restaurants and fascinating architecture, completely enclosed by the harbour and surrounding sandy beaches.

The perfect location for surfing or lounging on the beach (Porthmeor beach is just one minute on foot), visiting galleries (the Tate is less than 2 minutes away) or for exploring St Ives (harbour, shops, restaurants, pubs all just steps away).

The Loft sleeps 4 people in one double/one twin bedrooms with a shower room on the ground floor.
The upstairs living area has light and spacious kitchen/dining/living space and benefits from a small patio just off the kitchen, catching the sun for the best part of the day. For those colder evenings the gas log burning stove makes things nice and cosy!

Guest access
The cottage itself has both bedrooms on the ground floor with the open-plan kitchen/living/dining space upstairs...

Two bedrooms; one double and one twin room - both with wall mounted flat screen tv/dvd.

Ground floor bathroom with walk-in shower.

Fully fitted kitchen; including hob and oven, microwave, fridge freezer, slimline dishwasher and washing machine. Opens to sunny outdoor terrace.

Beautiful top floor open plan living/dining area... Dining table comfortably seats 4, large flat screen digital TV/DVD, free-standing remote controlled gas fire.

We have loved St Ives ever since holidaying here many years ago. Having previously lived in Birmingham and London we eventually managed to fulfil our dream and make the move to Cornwall. We now live in St Ives, and absolutely love it! Alan and Sharon
