About this property

Betty's Cottage St Ives. Grade II listed perfect getaway with secure parking.

Betty's is a beautifully presented Cornish cottage built in the mid 1800s.
Our newly renovated cottage is well equipped and furnished with much thought for your comfort and relaxation. The 2 bedrooms are furnished with a kingsize bed in the master bedroom and 2 single beds in bedroom 2, cleverly arranged to maximize the space, that along with a double sofa bed in the lounge provide flexible sleeping arrangements.
We hope to inspire a restful ambiance from where you can unwind. It is a perfect place for small families and couples alike.
Wander from your door to the harbour front with its plethora of artisan cafes and shops. You can enjoy the luxury and convenience of the location, as you are a 5 minute stroll to the harbour and just a short distance away from the stunning and child friendly Porthminster beach, Porthmeor and Porthgwidden beach along with the Tate Gallery which are all within easy walking distance.
Betty's Cottage is the ideal holiday retreat from where to discover the wonderful St Ives and beyond for your Cornish adventure.
We have secure parking within a parking compound just a minutes walk away on from the cottage.

Lovely cottage, felt warm and cozy. Beds very comfortable and felt like a home from home. Everything you need is provided. The convenience of having a parking space in St Ives made our stay so easy. Just to make everyone aware if you are 6ft 2 or taller the shower is amazing but doesn’t fit the height of someone like me.

Stayed here with my mum for a birthday get away & it was the cosiest cottage we have both ever stayed in, perfect for a winter break! We appreciated all the personal touches like blankets, fairy lights & nice lighting, an Alexa in living room/bedroom, the lovely gas fire, air fryer & so much more, really thoughtfully decorated. We actually ended up cancelling some dinner reservations to spend more time here during our trip! Great location, walking distance to the main harbour & co-op for essentials. Nice to also have secure parking about 3 minute walk away from the cottage. Overall we had a really lovely stay & will definitely look to come back soon!
