About this property

Harbour Beach Cottage, St Ives

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 (can be six if one of your party is happy to sleep on the truckle bed) 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) Pet fee of £50 per week applies

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.
Pet fee: £50 per week (applies to all dog bookings).

With the beach so close, early-morning and late-evening walks couldn’t be easier — slippers optional!

GOOD TO KNOW

Sleeps up to 6

Travel cot provided (please bring your own bedding)

Parking for 1 car included

No smoking

Great property in a perfect location with lovely sea views, everything on the doorstep but also quiet in the evening. Communication with the managing company was excellent. Would highly recommend the property and the managing agent.

Perfect for a range of ages

We had a great week at Harbour Beach Cottage. The perfect location meant that the 18-21 yr olds could come and go as they wished without needing a car. The cottage itself had plenty of space for 5 adults and 2 dogs. We were able to take the dogs on all the beaches before 10 and after 6 which gave them plenty of exercise. We were travelling light as no room in the car for extras but the cottage had all the essentials that we needed that we couldn't bring from home

Harbour Beach cottage - perfect location

Harbour Beach Cottage overlooked St Ives harbour & was a short walk to beaches, restaurants and Fore St - a perfect location. Orange Roofs team were great - all information arrived ahead of time & emails replied too very quickly. Thank you Barry

Séjour excellent au Harbour Cottage Beach.

Nous avons passé trois nuits à St Yves afin de visiter les Cornouailles. Nous ne regrettons ni le choix de la ville, ni celui du Cottage. La vue est extraordinaire, et le cottage idéalement placé ! Il ressemble parfaitement aux photos. La literie est très bonne et le cottage est parfaitement équipé. Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir !

Location - couldn't be better!!

even though we had to change our property at the last minute, the one we ended up (Harbour Beach Cottage) with was perfect. Wonderful location almost next door to the Sloop Inn with its charm. The property was wonderfully clean and the welcome pack was a nice touch (especially the clotted cream!!). Hats off, though, to Orange Roofs who were exemplary leading up to our stay - the level of communication was beyond reproach.

The property was amazing for the location couldn't have wished for a better location

From the moment we booked to arriving at the property we were extremely impressed, from the informative emails to our welcome pack we were very happy. With having a one year old granddaughter the location was key, beaches on our doorstep as well as the town. The games, dvds in the house were perfect. Looking forward to booking our next trip.

Delightful cottage right on the harbour

What a delightful cottage right on the harbour, lovely and clean well laid out with everything we could have wanted. Layout ideal for us but may be an issue with anyone with mobility issues or very small children (lots of steps) The views from the front windows fabulous spent most of the week looking out, we will defiantly look to booking again

Fantastic cottage in St Ives with views of the Har

Harbour Beach Cottage was a fantastic place to stay for our holiday with our 8 month old and dogs. It was a stones throw to the harbour beach, and with a sea view from the cottage we could see whether the tide was out enough to go on with the dogs. The cottage itself was spacious and very well equipped. Orange Roofs also arranged for the hire of a travel cot which was one less thing I had to think about. The location was also fantastic for the town and shops, especially the Italian restaurant below which does a fantastic array of takeaway food (not just pizza!). We hope to stay here again next year as it was a perfect place to stay.

Harbourside Perfection

Truly a perfect home from home, perfectly located with a view of the harbour but set back from the noisy thoroughfares. Beautifully presented with everything we needed. I've stayed in many St Ives cottages and this is definitely one I'll be returning to.
