DOG-FRIENDLY COTTAGE IN THE HEART OF ST IVES| ALLOCATED PARKING

Plane Sailing is professionally marketed and managed by Orange Roofs, a local St Ives holiday rental agency.

Plane Sailing is a wonderfully cosy and characterful base for guests wanting to experience authentic St Ives living — from early morning bakery runs and surf sessions to evenings wandering the cobbled lanes back home.

PLEASE NOTE BEFORE BOOKING:

Up to two small, well-behaved dogs are welcome
There is a £50 per dog fee per week.

Parking is provided at St Ives Rugby Club, approximately a 20-minute uphill walk from the cottage

During peak season, a shuttle bus runs between town and the Rugby Club parking area approximately every 30 minutes

Plane Sailing is located within the traffic-free heart of St Ives amongst historic cobbled streets and bustling pedestrian lanes

A TRADITIONAL ST IVES COTTAGE FULL OF CHARACTER

Hidden away on charming Virgin Street in the heart of Downalong, Plane Sailing is the quintessential St Ives fisherman’s cottage. Surrounded by cobbled lanes, independent cafés, bakeries, beaches and harbour life, this cosy and characterful retreat places everything you could need just moments from your doorstep.

Whether you’re visiting for sunny beach days or quieter winter escapes, Plane Sailing offers an authentic St Ives experience with warmth, charm and convenience woven throughout.

RIGHT IN THE HEART OF DOWNALONG

Staying at Plane Sailing means immersing yourself in one of the oldest and most loved parts of St Ives. The cottage overlooks the town’s famous “little green door” — a much-photographed landmark that has stood on Virgin Street for more than two centuries.

You’re also only moments from local favourites including St Ives Bakery for fresh pastries, artisan bread and Cornish pasties, alongside Source Kitchen, a popular deli and eatery showcasing wonderful local Cornish produce.

COMFORTABLE OPEN-PLAN LIVING

Entering through the charming porthole-style front door, you step directly into the welcoming open-plan kitchen, living and dining area.

The kitchen is compact yet thoughtfully designed for self-catering stays, equipped with everything needed for up to four guests, including:

Washer/dryer
Dishwasher
Compact fridge with freezer compartment
Oven and grill
Hob and microwave
Kettle and cafetière

Whether preparing fresh seafood, enjoying pastries from around the corner or brewing slow morning coffees before the beach, the cottage makes relaxed holiday living wonderfully easy.

The living and dining areas provide comfortable seating for four, alongside a Smart TV for cosy evenings after days spent exploring the coast.

TWO BEDROOMS WITH SEA GLIMPSES

Upstairs you’ll first pass a beautiful stained-glass window that fills the landing with colourful natural light.

The spacious family bathroom includes both a separate bath and shower, alongside WC and wash basin.

The two bedrooms comprise:

A double bedroom overlooking where The Digey meets Fore Street, with sea glimpses towards Godrevy Lighthouse
A twin bedroom with two single beds

Both bedrooms include TVs, storage space and thoughtful touches to make longer stays feel comfortable and easy.

BEACHES, SURF & HARBOUR LIFE JUST MINUTES AWAY

Plane Sailing’s central location means all of St Ives’ beaches are reachable within just a short stroll.

The nearest is Porthmeor Beach — the town’s famous Blue Flag beach loved for surfing, sunsets and golden sand. Here you’ll also find much-loved local restaurants including Porthmeor Beach Café and Porthmeor West.

The harbour beach, shops, galleries, cafés and restaurants are all just moments from the cottage, allowing guests to enjoy St Ives entirely on foot.

DOG-FRIENDLY STAYS BY THE SEA

Plane Sailing warmly welcomes up to two small dogs. Guests are kindly asked to provide their dogs’ ages and breeds ahead of arrival and to bring their own dog beds, towels and crates if used at home.

To help maintain the cottage for all guests, dogs are not permitted on furniture or in bedrooms.
