An exquisite, stone hideaway in the picturesque Cornish town of St Ives, this three-storey cottage is perfect for families and groups of friends. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom holiday haven is just 100 metres from Bamaluz Beach and 150 metres from Porthgwidden. The charming abode is also less than 100 metres from the South West Coast Path, which you can follow in either direction, including up to the grassy peninsula known as the Island, just 250 metres away. Amble less than 500 metres from the cottage down to the marina to book an exciting seal-watching safari or a sea fishing boat trip. Scenic Porthmeor Beach, about the same distance away, is popular with surfers, as well as families seeking to enjoy the sand and the views. Art lovers will wish to visit Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, both also about 500 metres away.

Follow the stone steps up to the stable door and let yourselves in via the small but welcoming entrance hall. Wander through to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with its wooden floor, shutters and white-washed beamed ceiling, to discover a haven of rustic charm. Light the wood burner in the exposed stone chimney breast during the colder months, then settle on the comfortable seating to savour the glorious ambience. Flick through the channels on the Smart TV, read your books or chat about your day. When you are ready to whip up the delicious, freshly landed seafood you have bought in St Ives, make your way over to the kitchen. This stylish space has been finished with exceptional flair and character. Featuring a vintage sink and copper work surface, it also has ample space to prepare and store your food. Gather round the table for fun holiday meals. As the sun sets over Cornwall, climb the stairs up to the first and second floors. At first-floor level, you will find a lovely twin room, with beds that can also be arranged as a king-size by prior discussion, plus a double, with a small desk/dressing table and shutters and blinds for privacy. Both these bedrooms have hypoallergenic bedding. The family shower room, with its fabulous rainfall shower, and a laundry cupboard also on this floor. Head up another level to discover the impressive king-size bedroom. Here, you can indulge in a long, hot soak in the deep, freestanding bath in the en-suite bathroom and wake up to wonderful sea views in the morning.
