Garden Cottage St Ives A beautifully designed artists cottage in the heart of St Ives with a raised sunny garden. Comfortably sleeps four.

A unique and stylish artist’s cottage full of original and interesting features, with an idyllic, sunny and secluded raised garden and gorgeous sea views. It is situated in a quiet lane close to the Barbara Hepworth and sub-tropical Trewyn gardens, and is two minutes stroll down to the main cobbled streets, restaurants, harbour and sandy beaches. It has two good sized bedrooms (one with a double bed and one with two singles), and comfortably sleeps four people. Both bedrooms look out over the garden, harbour and sea beyond.

The cottage has been stylishly renovated and is light, airy and open plan with many sky lights and different levels giving it a distinctive and original feel. The many hand made features include the unusual wood burner and fireplace, hand-made tiled worktops and natural rose coloured slate floor in the kitchen, wooden shutters on the bedroom windows and hand-crafted woodwork throughout.

The sunny conservatory / dining room is set at lawn level and is surrounded by the beautiful raised garden and curved deck full of subtropical plants, flowers and fruit trees. The garden faces both South and East and looks down over the harbour. It is a magical place to lie in a hammock under the tree canopy on the deck, to have breakfast on a sunny morning, looking down over the sea, or to enjoy dinner at the garden table surrounded by Jasmine and Passion flowers.

The architect-designed bathroom is set on a mezzanine level and is light and airy with access directly onto the garden. The gas central heating (modern underfloor heating under the maple floor downstairs including in the conservatory, and radiators upstairs in the bedrooms and bathroom) makes the cottage a warm and welcoming environment for your holiday whatever the time of year. There is a pretty slate-roofed shed in the garden for storing beach gear, surfboards etc. Some beach items, an outdoor table, chairs, a hammock and BBQ are provided.

The Cottage contains a fan oven with gas hob, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, TV, DVD with CD player and radio, Superfast Wifi, a selection of DVD’s and books for both children and adults, a basket of toys and a hairdryer. There is also a travel cot, a booster seat and a baby bath if requested. Tea, coffee, milk, biscuits, fresh flowers and details of where to park will be at the Cottage when you arrive.
