About this property

Finest Retreats | No. 6 Porthgwidden

Nestled in the charming coastal town of St Ives, this comfortable one-bedroom apartment offers the perfect getaway for couples seeking a peaceful and picturesque escape. Boasting stunning St Ives views, it is only a few sandy steps away from the town centre, harbour, and the scenic St Ives railway.

The apartment features a comfortable king-size bed and a bathroom with a shower, WC, and basin. A large, well-equipped kitchen complete with a fridge, freezer, oven, and dishwasher allows you to prepare delightful meals, accompanied by a 4-seater dining table and chairs.

The apartment has parking for one car, although it is located only 650 meters from the train station. This makes exploring the surrounding area extremely accessible, with day trips to the majestic St Michael's Mount or the Minack Theatre, which is cut into the edge of the Cornish cliffs.

St Ives is a traditional Cornish fishing village with a plethora of restaurants served daily by fishing boats from its working harbour. Its pretty cobbled streets are perfect for exploring in search of a unique gift in one of its many independent shops or for grabbing a freshly brewed coffee or sourdough loaf from the array of artisan bakeries and cafes. Perhaps you could visit one of the many galleries for which St Ives is famous, such as the Tate Gallery and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, where you’ll find an ever-changing array of exhibitions.

Situated just a short 600-meter stroll from the beautiful Porthminster Beach, you'll have easy access to the golden sands and crystal-clear waters. The charming St Ives town centre, with its quaint shops, galleries, and restaurants, is just a 450-meter walk away, providing ample opportunities to immerse yourself in the local culture and cuisine.

The apartment is accessed by stairs, which may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility. For bookings and more information, please contact Finest Retreats.

Fabulous apartment perfect for a relaxing break.

What a fabulous apartment! The building was once a swish hotel and has been renovated tastefully with huge rooms. The apartment had everything I needed and more. Loads of space, fabulous views, comfy bed and sofas, plenty of kitchen equipment, but also only a 15 minute walk to the centre if you wish to dine out. It is a steep climb back from.the harbour, but this means you can eat a pudding and walk it off on the way home! Absolutely nothing in my opinion. I've stayed in many apartments and cottages, during my trek along the SW coast path, and this has been the best yet.
