Number Six

Famous for its picturesque harbour, and tiny winding cobbled streets full of picture postcard fishermen’s cottages, intriguing shops and fascinating galleries, St Ives is perfect for a car-free holiday. Explore this historic fishing town on foot, take exhilarating walks along the spectacular coastal footpaths, or board the little branch line train which meanders alongside the sea to St Erth where it meets the main London to Penzance line. St Ives boasts a choice of fabulous sandy beaches, a wide variety of excellent places to eat, and its long association with many famous artists is impressively manifested in the Tate St Ives. The renowned Barbara Hepworth Museum is tucked away a short walk uphill from the harbour, and a few yards further up the steep narrow street nestles Number Six, a charming, quietly situated terraced cottage with a magnificent view from just outside the front door, glorious St Ives Bay and distant Godrevy lighthouse artistically framed by the neighbouring rooftops. Number Six has wireless broadband and is tastefully modern inside, the white painted sitting-room leading through open doorways to the stylish kitchen/dining-room (complete with Nespresso coffee machine, so bring your own capsules!), and outside is a little private patio. Up the typically steep cottage stairs are the beautiful bathroom and two chic bedrooms, the double furnished with a gorgeous contemporary four-poster bed.
