Harbour Beach Cottage, St Ives
Beachfront location | Harbour views | Parking included | Dog friendly
Just steps from the sand, Harbour Beach Cottage puts you right at the heart of St Ives. Sitting only 20 metres from Harbour Beach, this beautifully finished former fisherman’s cottage offers panoramic views across the harbour, bobbing boats and out to sea — all while being tucked away from passing crowds.
Perfect for families, couples or friends, the cottage sleeps up to five guests across three bedrooms and offers the rare bonus of allocated off-site parking, a real luxury in central St Ives.
*Why guests love it*
Practically on the beach – Harbour Beach is moments from the front door
Spectacular sea and harbour views from the living room and two bedrooms
Central yet peaceful location on Mount Zion
Allocated parking space included
Dog friendly (one well-behaved dog welcome)
*Inside the cottage*
The cottage is arranged over four floors, making the most of its elevated position and views.
The first-floor open-plan living and dining space is a real highlight — a relaxed, light-filled room where you can watch the harbour come and go, whatever the weather. It’s equally perfect for cosy evenings in or slow holiday breakfasts with a view.
The kitchen, located on the ground floor, is fully equipped for home cooking with a gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. Also on this floor is a modern family bathroom with bath and shower over.
Upstairs, the second floor offers:
A double bedroom with sea views
A single bedroom with a pull-out truckle bed (can be made into a small twin)
A separate WC and basin
The top floor bedroom is the showstopper — a beautiful double room with far-reaching views over the harbour, the Island and St Nicholas Chapel.
*Location, location, location*
From Harbour Beach Cottage you can wander to:
The harbour beach in seconds
Porthmeor Beach in a few minutes
Porthminster Beach in around five minutes
You’re also just moments from Fore Street, The Wharf and the iconic Sloop Inn, plus galleries, shops, restaurants, delis and ice-cream parlours — all without being overlooked or disturbed by passing foot traffic.
*Parking & transport (important to note)*
The cottage includes one allocated parking space at St Ives Rugby Club, approximately an 18-minute uphill walk from the property. While the walk may feel steep for some, guaranteed parking in St Ives is invaluable.
During school holiday weeks, a regular shuttle bus runs between the Tate St Ives and the parking area (approx. £1.50 per journey).
*Dog friendly*
One very well-behaved dog is welcome. With the beach so close, early-morning and late-evening walks couldn’t be easier — slippers optional!
