Overview

With clear water, stunning scenery and half a mile of white sand, Porthmeor’s Blue Flag beach is one of west Cornwall’s most popular sandy stretches, so this property which is just a short walk from the beach, creates a terrific base from which to enjoy all that St Ives and the surrounding coastline has to offer.

Tastefully furnished with ample space for relaxation, you’ll have all you need to enjoy a truly comfortable stay. Two spacious bedrooms and a family bathroom are found on the first floor while the large master bedroom with its own en-suite can be found on the top floor. Downstairs, the home’s living room is cosy and welcoming with a bay window letting in plenty of sunshine, while the big kitchen which lies open plan with the dining area, is amply equipped for whipping up home-made meals. A sliding door leads outside to a furnished terrace which can be pulled back to extend the inside space out, so on warm days you can enjoy breakfast or drinks outside in the fresh sea air.

One of the best things about this property’s position is that although it’s within a short distance of the heart of St Ives, it’s also set in a quieter area a little further away from the bustle. The harbour is just a short 13-minute walk from the front door (or a 6-minute drive if you don’t fancy the walk back up), and the town’s best restaurants, galleries, shops and attractions are also at your fingertips.

Not only is Porthmeor Beach the perfect spot for swimming, sunbathing and family fun, it’s also one of west Cornwall’s premier surfing beaches, enjoying consistent waves all year round. It’s ideal for bodyboarding too so if you’d like to take to the water during your stay, there’s a beach-based surf school with qualified instructors offering lessons as well as board and wetsuit hire available.

A top tip is that one of the area’s favourite places to eat out is Porthmeor Beach Café. Resting right on the sand, and is the best place to watch the sun set over the water from its sea-facing terrace, while enjoying some delicious seafood or a crisp glass of wine of course!

Welcome to St Ives

There’s something special about holidays in St Ives and we just can’t quite put our fingers on it. It could be the beautiful light that’s attracted artists to the resort for generations, the cobbled streets and coastal views…or that feeling of being a world away from the hustle and bustle. Whatever it is, St Ives has a charm that’s unlike any other, and we’d recommend it at any time of year.

Excellent
4.8/5

Loved the house. It felt like it had only just been renovated. Everything seemed brand new. Comfy beds with high quality linen and towels. Warm. Welcome gifts of milk, orange juice and biscuits. Up the hill from sea / centre of St Ives but only a 5 / 10 min walk.

Hi Sue, thank you for your lovely review, it is really nice to hear your comments and we would love to welcome you back sometime in the future. Best Wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team.

Great house for group of six in St Ives
4.7/5

We really enjoyed staying at 7 Wheal Ayr; the house is lovely, well-furnished and well-equipped. Everything we needed was there. It's quite a steep walk up the hill from the beaches and town, but nothing too strenuous and doesn't take long. Having the parking space was a boon. Luxury Coastal's local representative was very helpful and responsive for any questions we had during our stay. We would look forward to staying in the same house again another time.

It’s great to know that you had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. We appreciate your feedback about the walk up the hill from the beaches and town. Whilst St Ives can be a bit steep, we’re glad it wasn’t too strenuous for you and that the convenience of the parking space was a positive aspect of your stay. Providing excellent service is very important to us, and it’s always rewarding to hear when we’ve succeeded. We look forward to welcoming you back to 7 Wheal Ayr in the future!

Met our needs perfectly

Last hour booking. Really met our needs perfectly. The location was not too far away from the centre. Parking was useful, even for two cars
