About this property

Enjoy a Cornish Spring time at The Lookout - perfect for beaches and countryside

A warm welcome awaits you at The Lookout. Your St Ives home from home! As you walk through the front door, the first thing you see is that panoramic view. Spotlessly clean, the light and ambience of the house engulfs you. You've made it, your holiday has started, it is time to make yourselves at home, relax and enjoy.
The House:
A stylish and beautifully presented town-house, superbly positioned with fantastic views of the sea across St Ives Bay to Godrevy Lighthouse and the North cliffs beyond.
Location:
Fantastic location with beaches, shops, restaurants and galleries all within a 5-15 minute walk. Porthminster Beach being 5 minutes downhill, while Porthmeor Beach, on the other side of St Ives, is more like 15 minutes if you go straight there and are not side tracked by all the lovely views, shops and restaurants!
The House Inside:
Remodelled in 2022 for your comfort and enjoyment, with a light, airy feel. The Lookout is spacious, cosy, comfortable and well equipped.
The House Outside:
There is parking for 2 cars which is a huge bonus in St Ives, while at the front of the house there is a good sized garden with beautiful views for relaxing and al fresco dining.
Home from Home:
The Lookout is not just a holiday let but a home that we want to share. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.

Wonderful stay in St. Ives

Fabulous property in St. Ives. Beautiful views, comfortable beds, easy walk to beach and town via stairs. The hosts were easy to work with. Our only recommendation is to add a few wash rags and a starter shampoo and conditioner for travelers arriving from long flights.

That morning view!!

For me the best part of the day was to walk out onto the terrace , admire the garden and see how Godrevy was doing!! I know St Ives very well and the house was perfect for us all, ideally placed, very comfortable and stylish, we wanted for nothing. Rosie, our host, dealt with any queries immediately… what more can I add?

St Ives Family Holiday

This property was excellent in every way with great attention to detail. Rosie had thought of everything that we could need and kept us well informed before and during the trip. The house was in an excellent location with sea views and a short walk to town but far enough away from the busy streets. The bedrooms were all very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. An excellent week and we would return

Lovely home away from home

We had a wonderful stay at The Lookout. The views from this beautiful home set the scene for a relaxing and comfortable stay. We visited St Ives with another couple, each of us ex Hotel owners, so our standards are high and The Lookout did not disappoint. We look forward to returning!

Great stay and wonderful house

We all enjoyed our stay at the Lookout, great location, only a 10 minute walk to the town, the 3 boys loved the table football up in the top room, great touch from Rosie to leave a card with flowers for my girlfriends 40th birthday, information we received about check in and where to find keys nice and clear. We would definitely stay again and I’m sure we will be looking to book next year!!

About the host

Hosted by Rosie and Simon

Host profile image
We live in The Cotwolds and have 3 grown up children. I grew up in Camborne so Cornwall has always been a big part of our lives and with the family connection we are frequent visitors. The joy of running The Lookout is that we can share our love of Cornwall and St Ives which has always been a special favourite.
The picture is taken on the walk from St Ives to Zennor.

Why they chose this property


We love St Ives because of it's timeless, picturesque quality : spending sun soaked days on the beach, browsing the art galleries, superb pubs and restaurants and fantastic Coastal walks. It is the quintessential English family holiday destination with all its variables in scenery, beaches, coastline and of course, weather!

St Ives is a destination for all the family young and old. It is a romantic place with an extraordinary light which draws artists and artisans from all over the world, You can find peace and a place to party, no-one is left with nothing to do.

From St Ives, you could take a day trip to the Scilly Isles, or the Eden Project or any number of National Trust Houses and Gardens, not least St Michael's Mount or Trencrom, a Neolithic Tor Enclosure from which you can see Godrevy Lighthouse on the North Coast and St Michael's Mount on the South.

It is a destination you get hooked on and will want to return to time and time again. The tide is ever changing, but the beauty of this place is constant and timeless.

Another huge plus is you can either walk to Porthminster Beach or to the centre of town easily within 10 minutes, yet it is tucked up and away from all the bustle of a vibrant and popular seaside destination.

What makes this property unique

In 2022, we completed a huge remodelling project with a newly fitted kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and sitting room, all done to the highest standard. The house is furnished and decorated not to be like a standard holiday let, but a home we want to share, with home comforts and ascetic touches for your enjoyment.

We love this house because of it's airy yet comfy feel. As soon as you walk in you are drawn through the Hall to the stunning views from the Kitchen. You can further enjoy the views from the sitting room on the first floor and the master bedroom at the top of the house.

There are wooden floors throughout the ground floor which add to the light open feel as soon as you enter the House.

There is plenty of room outside for alfresco dining, barbecues or simply relaxing on the sun terrace.

One of the main benefits of this house it is light and spacious with panoramic views. The fact that it is also within walking distance of beaches, shops and restaurants and has parking is a huge advantage. You can spend the whole week in St Ives, or go out on a day trip without worrying about where to park on your return.
