In recent years St Ives has become one of Europe's premier holiday destinations, famed not only for its beautiful beaches and coastal paths but also for the maze of narrow, cobbled streets packed with restaurants, galleries, cafés and local bars. There are five sandy beaches, including neighbouring Carbis Bay, three of which are award-winning, blue flag beaches; the coastal paths provide a treat for walkers and bird-watchers alike. St Ives is just 4 miles away from the A30 which links into all the major market towns and Cathedral city of Truro.

The newly- installed large, quality fitted kitchen/dining room creates a great family or entertaining room and offers excellent views into the harbour and beyond.
