Cottage Sérendipité - un cottage pour 6 personnes en 3 chambres

With cobbled, cottage-lined streets and dreamy white sand beaches hugging its bay, St Ives is all you could ask for from an idyllic seaside escape.

Arranged over two floors, the cottage's three airy bedrooms can be found upstairs along with a contemporary family shower room. On the ground floor there's a fabulous open plan living room with whitewashed stone walls, a roomy sofa, a large plasma TV, and a wood-burning stove. The lower ground floor kitchen / diner flows off the living area to create the home's cooking and entertainment space. The cottage's fully enclosed courtyard garden is accessed from the kitchen and is furnished with a dining suite and charcoal barbecue. Here, guests can cook, feast and entertain in the sunshine, or enjoy evening drinks and conversation as the sun sets over St Ives. There's also a handy outside shower with hot water for a quick de-sanding after the beach, or for a full freshen up, a second family bathroom on the ground floor with shower and bath.

A minutes walk from the harbour and just three minutes from Porthmeor Beach, guests can enjoy a completely car-free getaway if they choose. Numerous restaurants, bars, cafes and shops are just a stone's throw away too which means you'll have the best of the town on your doorstep during your stay. The famous Tate St Ives and Barbara Hepworth Museum & Sculpture Garden are fascinating places to visit too if you're interested in local artists and their work. Within a short walk along the coast path or via a scenic train ride, is Carbis Bay. Or if you fancy exploring by car, Porthkidney Sands and Hayle are around twenty minutes by car, while Mounts Bay with its landmark St Michael's Mount, is just under half an hour.
