About this property
1 bedroom accommodation in St Ives

This cosy ground floor holiday cottage is perfect for couples to enjoy all year round, in the heart of the picturesque town of St Ives and just a short stroll from the harbour, shops, galleries and beaches. It is located in an area known as ‘Downalong’ on the approach to the peninsula called The Island, with its granite cottages and labyrinth of lanes and alleys. Step out of the door and within a few yards, guests can enjoy the St Ives scene with its cosmopolitan mix of cafés and restaurants, many dotted along the waterfront. Famous for its light and Mediterranean Sea colour, St Ives has been a magnet for artists over the years and boasts numerous art galleries, including the Tate Modern and Barbara Hepworth Museum.

We love this tiny character cottage, it's cozy and homely.
We love this tiny character cottage, it's cozy and homely. Welcome with small milk, tea and coffee. Perfect location for exploring St Ives on foot, literally straight out the door into the heart of the main attractions and beaches. It was well equipped with a good TV which I noticed other reviews said they had troubles so must of been brought recently, new comfy 2 seater sofa "photos need updating" a vacuum cleaner and iron in blanket box if you look. The bathroom is clever designed half sized tub with shower. A great handbook the owners have wrote all the information about places to visit and eat they recommend which was a nice touch. The mattress has a lot of springs worn and needs replacing and the cleaning was pretty bad, I found things in cupboard with food on andvstains, frozen food in freezer from maybe last visit and floor was very dirty. Parking is a bit of an issue all so, so make sure you pre book the "Island car park" £27 for a week I believe but beware leaving the car park... It gets busy and no allocated longstay spaces.. So it's pot luck if you get a space again! careful about the hot water too, it comes out literally boiling in the bath, perhaps for safety reasons that should be looked at. All in all we did love this cute little cottage and would definitely return. The positives far out weigh a few negatives.

I always have a lovely week here it is my “home from home”.
I always have a lovely week here it is my “home from home”. Close enough to central st ives but far out enough to be pretty quiet - a great base for my day hikes or on the bus or train to further afield!

Lovely cosy cottage
Lovely cosy cottage. Very clean and nicely renovated. We were very happy on arrival to find milk in the fridge! Driftwood is situated in a very convenient place for beaches, shops, Tate and restaurants.
