About this property

17th Century Cottage In St Ives, Cornwall. Sleeps 2 With Parking!

A beautiful town centre 17th century stone cottage tucked away in a quiet cobbled street. Lovingly restored and completely refurbished in 2013 to an exceptionally high standard - the cottage has all the comforts of a bijoux boutique hotel with the freedom to do as you please! Cornish Cottage is a 2 minute level stroll to St Ives harbour, restaurants, cafes, galleries, shops and beaches. Steeped in history and full of original charm and character with wonky walls, a wood burning stove with cornish granite fire surround, granite coins, window seats and exposed beams. Free Parking space for one car in a private road 10 minutes walk away. Underfloor heating and gas central heating. Delicious Cornish Cream Tea or surprise welcome pack awaits guests on arrival! We regret the cottage is not suitable for children. Sorry - no pets allowed.

Cornish Cottage

We spent 4 nights in this delightful cottage. It was very cozy and well equipped. Perfect location close to the town and beaches but also nice and quiet. We felt the only drawback was the lack of an outside space!

Beautiful cottage in a fantastic location!

We had the most wonderful stay. The cottage was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. It is in a fantastic location, only minutes away from St Ives harbour and plenty of restaurants. Ylenia was fantastic, great communication and allowed us to check out later, as well as leaving us a little something as it was our honeymoon! It was also great that the cottage has its own parking, which is just a short walk away. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend!

Cosy Cornish Cottage

You could sense the history in this cottage, and imagine a family sitting by the fire, and nestled at night in the upper rooms. At the same time, this was a well-appointed, modernized, and tastefully decorated cottage. Superb location, close to restaurants, shops, and the harbour. Lovely hospitality and finishing touches were greatly appreciated. Thank you, Ylenia!

Rude owners of the cottage

This holiday was a gift to my partner for his 30th birthday, the cottage was lovely and St Ives is beautiful but the strange inspection of the cottage half way through our stay was unexpected and odd, furthermore on the morning of our check out,the time was changed to an hour earlier on the morning we were supposed to be leaving and the owners stood outside of the cottage until we left. The check out on the app said 11.00 and the owners kept banging on the door telling us that it was 10.00 they then continued to wait outside until we had left. It was uncomfortable and a horrible way to end our stay in St Ives. I love this town, the cottage was pretty but the owners are not hospitable or professional. I advise anyone to stay in one of the many other beautiful cottages, bnb’s or hotels in St Ives.

3 night break away

A really lovely break in a cute cottage. Although the cottage was small we had all we needed with lovely finishing touches for example robes and slippers were provided. Infact we renamed the cottage cosy cottage. The log burner was great. We also received an extended check out and complimentary coffee and cake from the canary cafe. The only change we would make as the cottage has excellent WiFi is a smart TV, which was stated as being available in the particulars but the TV was not. We would however absolutely stay there again.

The devil is in the detail.

It’s all very well having quality bed linen but when the loo drips all night the bathroom fan sounds like you’re on the flight path to Heathrow, the bar next doors music loud and clear till gone 10. Bottle collection @5am from pub behind. A cooker with no instructions and terrible arrival instructions made for more stress than we needed. Do not book this property if you want peace and quiet.

Central location in St Ives

Our first taste of a cottage rental as we normally stay in hotels. You couldn’t ask for a more convenient location of a holiday cottage. Just 2 minutes stroll from the harbour, beach and the town centre. Admittedly the car was parked (for free) 5 minutes away, but we barely used it, and of course you can drive literally up to the front door to load/unload. The cottage is very cosy and has all the equipment you need, especially if you want to cook for yourselves too. It’s very tastefully decorated and has all mod cons including gas central heating and WiFi. The owner was friendly and helpful and always answered any queries I had very promptly. The only disadvantages with this cottage is that there’s no garden and, because it’s so close to the town centre, you might hear some stragglers making their way home late at night, but it’s not enough to disturb your sleep and after 11pm, heard very little. The cottage was spotlessly clean throughout and once we’d unpacked, was like a home from home. Admittedly it’s small and compact, but not claustrophobic. The bedroom and bathroom are bigger than many hotel rooms! There is plenty of storage space for clothes too. Thoroughly recommended

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Ylenia Haase

Host profile image
I live and work in St Ives with my husband.
It is the most wonderful place in the world to live, love and holiday!

Why they chose this property

Before Cornish Cottage came on the market it was always one of those properties that intrigued me. It was the type of place that every time you walked passed
you wished you could take a peek inside.
When it came on the market we couldn't wait
to view it and we both fell in love with it instantly.
It had so much character and was every bit the romantic quintessential cottage.
Steeped in history it is reputed to be the smallest and oldest house in St Ives!
We renovated and decorated the cottage in a contemporary style - careful to retain all its character features including a working fireplace.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is a unique property in the very heart of St Ives. It is just two minutes level stroll to the harbour, shops and beaches and one minute to the Barbara Hepworth sculpture garden and Trewyn sub tropical gardens.
It has the huge advantage of the use of a parking space for our guests. If you have ever been to St Ives before you will know that this is a huge bonus!
