About this property

Unique Farmhouse, 150 metres Porthmeor Beach

Characterful Granite Farmhouse, only 150 meters from Porthmeor Beach. Once the farmhouse to the surrounding fields, this property has been in family ownership for 100+ years. 4 Bedrooms (sleeps 7) & 2 Bath/Shower rooms. A really unique house with lovely secluded garden and parking. A new kitchen and woodburning stove have been lovely additions for 2022 season.
Location is great, just a couple of minutes walk from Porthmeor Beach and Tate St Ives, and with the Harbour less than 10 minute walk. If you like quirky, this is the property for you. The porch leads to hallway with lounge to left, with wood burning stove, and dining room to right, followed by kitchen to back of the house. Kitchen (new kitchen 2022) with Range, Belfast sink, American fridge/freezer with ice making facility, and dishwasher. From the Kitchen the back door leads to a partly covered Courtyard with the second shower room, with shower, basin and w/c. Also great when returning from beach to remove sand. Lovely large private, secluded garden with a decked area, to enjoy the last sun of the day. Several seating areas, with lawn , bamboo, & palm trees. A tropical feel, that children are going to love. From hallway up the stairs to bath/shower room, basin, w/c. Master bedroom with super king bed and glorious views over the roof tops across St Ives Bay. Three further bedrooms, one with king size bed, one with zip & link singles 3ft each, and final small bedroom with 3ft single. Maximum occupancy 7, in four bedrooms. All bedrooms have smart t/vs. Parking for 3 cars at most and unlimited Superfast broadband. Washing machine & tumbledryer located in Courtyard. Cot and highchair supplied. Please note during school holidays this property lets on a weekly basis, Saturday to Saturday, and 3 night minimum stay between Easter and November considered outside of school holidays.

Weekend Break

A super weekend and Liz’s property was the perfect base for a special family occasion. Very comfortable and homely with lovely garden too. Location was great with everything being just a short stroll away. Thank you very much Liz. Hope to return soon.

Another great stay

We have a great holiday in St.Ives and once again stayed at Ayr Farmhouse which is in a great location for the beach and town. I would recommend it to anyone with a family looking for spacious accommodation, a garden and easy parking (something rare in St.Ives)

Perfect Family Home

The Ayr Farmhouse was a perfect home for our group of 7 family and friends over Easter weekend. The rooms were large, clean and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Liz was lovely and helpful and we hope to be back!

A perfect location

We had a very enjoyable three night family stay between Christmas and New Year. Ayr Farmhouse was ideally situated both for St Ives itself and also for the far west of Cornwall. The house was warm and cosy with plenty of room for the six of us. The beds were extremely comfortable and we would like to return during the summer months at some point in the future. The garden looked lovely even in winter.

Annual old friends get together

Lovely place. The master bedroom was excellent and the description failed to mention the fabulous view from the master. Kitchen very communal and the gardens was just what we wanted and is a hidden gem for this location in St Ives. Thank you Liz

Great location, lovely garden

Nice size property close to the beach. It is at the top of a hill so legs got a good workout. We found the farmhouse had what we needed for a weeks stay and thankfully had parking too. The garden is lovely with plenty of room to sit out plus the bbq was great too. Useful having the ground floor bathroom for a family of six as well as the upstairs one. Kitchen well appointed although oven took some getting used to. TVs in every room was more than expected and decent Wi-Fi was useful as we struggled with this around St Ives. Parking was tricky but ok once we got used to it- space for two cars but takes some manoeuvring. Had a lovely week.

Wonderful holiday

Ayr farm house is a lovely house with a large and absolutely magical garden where we spent a lot of time. The location is excellent - only 5 minutes from the surf beach. Our age ranges were 78 to 11 months old and everyone had a fabulous time.

Fabulous place esp the garden!

Lovely place, surprisingly hidden away from the road. Everything worked well, (kitchen could do with some sharp knives).Beds comfortable with nice white linen and white towels. Not bothered with a tv on every room… but that’s just not our choice. Loved the pine dipped. Garden was amazing, so mature with so many sitting areas, and incredible plants. Could do with a few cushions for garden seats. Also black out curtains in bedroom would be good. There is at least one seagull nest on the roof, being a light sleeper they were very noisy! Again just a note, understand the seagulls were there first and it is by the seaside! Having a separate shower/loo downstairs worked really well back from the beach. Would recommend and book again, thanks Liz.

Traumhaft!

Das Ferienhaus ist wunderschön: Es ist sehr geschmackvoll, stilvoll und gemütlich eingerichtet und sehr geräumig! Besonders schön ist das große (Eltern-) Schlafzimmer mit Blick auf das Meer. Der Garten ist paradiesisch und wunderbar angelegt! Es gibt mehrere Sitzgelegenheiten, an denen man seine Mahlzeiten einnehmen kann. Außerdem liegt das Haus sehr zentral, man ist schnell an einem wunderbaren Sandstrand, von dem aus auch man tolle Touren an der Küste entlang unternehmen kann, ebenso in der hübschen Innenstadt von Saint Ives und der Tate.
