This is a beautiful Fishermans Cottage situated in a quiet road in the heart of Downalong. The property is nestled between three fabulous family beaches Porthmeor perfect for a spot of surfing, Porthgwidden which has a lovely safe beach perfect for families and the Harbour Beach with the fabulous backdrop of St Ives . We are a 2 minute walk to the shops and outstanding restaurants, the Tate and the Barbara Hepworth musuem. St Eia's location will provide a fabulous base with which to explore all St Ives has to offer.The cottage has been lovingly restored it has still retained a number of features but with a modern feel. This cottage would provide an excellent base for a family beach holiday nothing is too far because of its location you can pop backwards and forwards very easily and everything is on the flat no carrying surfboards up hills! The property is arranged over 4 floors, with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There is a modern fully equipped kitchen, dining area with welcome pack on arrival. There is a large comfortable lounge with high ceilings. The third floor has one bedroom with twin beds and a bathroom on that floor.

Quaint cottage near beaches. Can see a glimpse of sea from upstairs bedroom. Love the location. Could walk everywhere. The house is clean, and styled very cute. No musty smell. There are a lot of stairs so if mobility is an issue then this might not be best choice. My mom and I felt right at home. It was a great experience!

We had a wonderful time. The cottage is lovely and ideally situated. We were able to potter about to our hearts’ content and St Ives has so much to offer. Our host answered our queries quickly and fully. Check in was easy. Well appointed with everything we needed. Thank you for a lovely place to stay.

Really lovely traditional fishing cottage in old part of St Ives, very close to harbour, several beaches. Cottage is quaint, but had everything we needed. Comfortable and attractive and most enjoyable.

We found this type of cottage quite small. 3 and 4 flights of stairs for quite small bedrooms. Would be very difficult for a family with infant or anyone with leg or back injuries. Washing machine needs to be replaced, after reading the instructions it wasn’t wort the risk of using it. Everything thing was ok but it wasn’t the type of accommodation we would look for again. The host was excellent to communicate with and location is excellent, close to the centre.

We all really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept well after our days exploring St Ives. The cottage has everything you possibly need and the location perfect.

I loved the position of 4 St Eia, so close to the beach for a morning swim and to the School of Painting and yet very peaceful at night. Lovely bedlinen, beautifully clean and I had everything I needed. Not five stars due to one or two niggles during my stay which just needed a bit more maintenance/attention. eg TV, taps and there is a lot of going up and down stairs!

Very good cottage in a perfect location, only slight negative would be that it spans 4 floors so was a bit of a pain going upstairs / downstairs but that’s not really a big issue

The property is lovely - well decorated, furnished and very clean. We know & love the area but didn’t realise this cottage was back to back or that noise would travel so much. We were extremely unlucky in that there was a particularly noisy group staying behind us but soon discovered that even normal conversation could be heard - they could obviously hear us too as we heard them discussing it! As our stay was for much needed respite and we got very little peace or sleep - and there was obviously nothing we could do to improve the situation we made the hugely disappointing decision to cut the 4 night stay short and left after just one night. We made the owners aware of the issue & our departure at 1pm and even gave them the opportunity to re-let the cottage. However they didn’t respond to us until 8.30 that night and didn’t/couldn’t really say anything other than they could try talking to the owners of the neighbours. This was obviously no help to us and in all honestly wouldn’t prevent normal level noise being heard. I am extremely surprised that no-one else has raised the soundproofing issue so maybe we are particularly sensitive to noise but I do think it is important to make other potential guests aware as if I had seen a review mentioning it I certainly wouldn’t have chosen this cottage. A real shame!

A great little dog friendly property situated with everything you need on the doorstep - beaches, cafes, restaurants, pubs, shops.
Very comfortable and clean. The slight issue we had with the toilet and shower was sorted very swiftly with excellent communication with the owner.
Will have no hesitation in booking to stay here again - thank you for having us!

Beautiful cottage, well decorated and kitchen well-equipped! There was tea/coffee and milk when we arrived to get us through the first morning. The welcome pack was comprehensive.
Coastal location, with 4 beaches reachable in under 10 min walk in any direction. Would absolutely recommend.
