About this property

Betty's Cottage St Ives. Grade II listed perfect getaway with secure parking.

Betty's is a beautifully presented Cornish cottage built in the mid 1800s.
Our newly renovated cottage is well equipped and furnished with much thought for your comfort and relaxation. The 2 bedrooms are furnished with a kingsize bed in the master bedroom and 2 single beds in bedroom 2, cleverly arranged to maximize the space, that along with a double sofa bed in the lounge provide flexible sleeping arrangements.
We hope to inspire a restful ambiance from where you can unwind. It is a perfect place for small families and couples alike.
Wander from your door to the harbour front with its plethora of artisan cafes and shops. You can enjoy the luxury and convenience of the location, as you are a 5 minute stroll to the harbour and just a short distance away from the stunning and child friendly Porthminster beach, Porthmeor and Porthgwidden beach along with the Tate Gallery which are all within easy walking distance.
Betty's Cottage is the ideal holiday retreat from where to discover the wonderful St Ives and beyond for your Cornish adventure.
We have secure parking within a parking compound just a minutes walk away on from the cottage.

Sweet Cornish Cottage

Perfectly located cottage close to the harbour in St Ives. Restaurants, galleries, shops and beaches all an easy walk away. The cottage was clean and comfortable although perhaps a little chilly in January. It is also not designed for large people as the shower is tiny and the ceilings are low in places. A useful addition would be reading lamps in the main bedroom. Overall we enjoyed our stay in beautiful St Ives

We really enjoyed our stay at Betty's Cottage. We did have some challenges getting the code for the key box which was more Expedia's app vs the hosts. The place is really comfortable and cosy with everything you would need. Only thing we had to get was loo roll as they didn't have any after we used the half a roll that was there.

Betty’s cottage

The cottage has all the facilities you need it was beautiful. The location is fantastic, a stroll from the centre where your spoilt for choice to eat/drink looking over the harbour…if it’s a beach you want then Porthgwidden and Porthminster are both short walks and perfect for everyone, my 3 year old grandson had the best time.

Cute beach cottage is great location!

The property is a small beach cottage that is perfect for a couple or a couple with 1-2 small kids. Walkable to center of town with co-op grocery and laundry facility less than 5 min away. Parking space is nearby and situated such that it is easy to use your car to explore Cornwall. Only thing I would say is that shower is small and ceilings low so this place would feel tight if you are a large person and some of the layout is a bit tricky if you were older and less sure footed. Hosts are experienced and check/check out is easy and they have instructions for everything.

About the host

Hosted by Gordon and Jo

Host profile image
We are the proud owners of Betty's Cottage. After many happy family holidays in St Ives, we fell in love with the area. It captured our hearts and soul. We bought the cottage early 2015 and have since lovingly refurbished it to provide you with all the comforts you would need for a home away from home.
As a small family we enjoy skimming stones and building sandcastles at Porthminster beach, body boarding at Porthmeor beach, fishing,crabbing and seal spotting in the harbour.
We always feel very happy here and invite you to share in our affection for St Ives.
We hope that we have thought of everything to make your stay as perfect as possible.
