About this property

Plane Sailing sleeps 4 in 2 bedrooms and is in the heart of St Ives, very close to beaches has an allocated parking space

The cottage is on Virgin Street and is in the very heart of St Ives. It is a charming traditional cottage with modern comforts and is super well placed to offer you a holiday home that is close to all St Ives' beaches. St Ives bakery is just around the corner as is a choice of amazing coffee bars so breakfast is sorted!

There are 2 bedrooms on the first floor; a double bedroom and a second bedroom that has twin beds. There is a family bathroom on the first floor also with a bath, separate shower, wash basin and WC.

Being in the Downalong area of St Ives, you will be within minutes of the great white sand beaches, the organised boat trips, the amazing food places and a great choice of shops and galleries to visit too. Leave the front door of Plane Sailing and you step into the joyful life of St Ives so ideal for friends and small families who like to have everything on their doorstep.

The private parking space for Plane Sailing is at St Ives Rugby Club with a very generous sized parking space. Parking in St Ives can be a real headache during busier weeks in the town, namely between Easter and October, with available spaces in the town car parks being very rare during these times. So, even though the parking space for the cottage is a 15 minute walk away, it is a guaranteed space where you can come and go freely plus, during the busy periods, there is a shuttle bus which costs £1.50 per trip that picks up and drops off very close to Porthmeor Beach which is a 5 minute walk from the cottage.

There is free WiFi throughout the house.

2 x well-behaved dogs (up to 15kgs) are welcome. A pet fee applies of £50 per pet per week which we collect from guests once the property is booked (terms and conditions apply). Please let us know the age, sex and breed when booking.

All bed linen, bath towels and utilities are included in the rate. Please bring your own travel cot and high chair. These can also be hired and delivered to the cottage from a local company so please do enquire and we will be happy to help.

Please refer to the Rental Agreement during the payment stages on VRBO as you are entering a contract between this property owner and yourselves. VRBO cancellation and refund policies apply. Orange Roofs is a professional host. Orange Roofs Cornwall Limited is a St Ives holiday accommodation agency. Please email us at Orange Roofs if you have any specific questions, we will be very happy to help you.

Sister’s adventures

Very happy with the appartment it was close to everything . It was very well presented and had everything you need accept a hair dryer but we survived. The communication and direction for everything right from booking to arriving and then leaving was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Very nice property but very noisy at night

Lovely place in a great part of the town during the day. However, at night, be prepared for loud, rowdy groups of people shouting and singing until about 3am in the morning in the narrow lanes outside the property. The flat itself is well appointed, well equipped and very clean. Comms with the property managers was great too.

Central location

Comfortable and cosy, with everything you might need provided. Some lovely provisions left for us - eggs, milk, cake, teabags etc. Only a few minutes walk from beaches and right in town. Only slight issue was the noise at night- single glazing does not muffle a thing & we were woken a few times a night by voices, dogs etc

Lovely cottage in the heart of st ives

We stay in st ives every year and this was the best location of all the properties we have had. The cottage was really cosy. My only feedback is that I feel the 5pm check in is too late. I understand the additional complexity covid had brought but the properly was ready earlier (as we were in town for most of the day) but the code wasn’t realised until bang on 5pm.

Central and stellar

Perfect St Ives getaway! The location is just off Fore Street, in the thick of things. The living room is elevated above street level so you can look out on passers-by, but from above, so it feels very private. With the bedrooms being upstairs, it is a comfortable retreat from the world. Decor was tasteful and all local art and products as far as I could tell. Fully equipped with everything one needs. I worked remotely while here for more than two weeks and had good internet, no issues at all with the wifi. I'll be back.

St.Ives stay

What a wonderful place and beautiful accommodation. I would definitely recommend a property from Orange roofs. They keep in contact with you, we managed to have access earlier than planned . The accommodation was clean, very well decorated. There was a welcome pack, some cake, eggs, milk and butter which was very thoughtful. The location was perfect. Look forward to my next stay and will definitely use Orange roofs. Thank you

Plain Sailing, St Ives.

Located in the heart of St Ives. Can be noisy late at night and early morning due to narrow streets. Overall a great well decorated cottage with everything you need for a lovely holiday.
