Overview

Fond Memories Cottage has been sympathetically updated and tastefully furnished to create a really special find in one of the most sought-after parts of St Ives. Situated in The Digey — one of the oldest and most atmospheric parts of St Ives, it’s just steps from Fore Street’s independent shops, cafés, galleries, with the scenic harbour and stunning sandy beaches of St Ives being a short walk away.

With four floors of well-designed living space, the cottage’s front door opens into a modern, well-equipped kitchen at street level, complete with a breakfast bar and two barstools — a sociable spot for morning coffee or a simple meal. On the first floor, the living room is light, spacious and welcoming, with two contemporary sofas, a big Smart TV, and window seats with upholstered pads and cushions. Original features, like deep window reveals and exposed stonework, reflect the building’s heritage and add to its charm.

On the second floor, there’s a calm and comfortable double bedroom with a Smart TV and its own window seat. The family bathroom is also on this floor includes a bath with a rain-head shower above. At the top of the home is a second bedroom designed with families in mind. It has a double bed and a single bed, as well as two Smart TVs. This room, though open to the stairwell and landing, is private, airy and comfortable, with sea glimpses beyond the rooftops.

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

If you want to stay in the heart of St Ives this is the place to be..you are only a 15 second walk to the harbour shops and restaurants. It’s a perfect base to explore at Ives from. The cottage was clean and beautiful interior. Whilst the parking is awkward (steep and a distance from the cottage) we were aware of this upon booking but would cause issues if not physically fit, however that doesn’t deter from the beautiful fisherman quirky cottage experience. We only gave 3 stars for comfort but that was because the main bedroom floor has a good slant on it hence the bed is not level so we didn’t sleep well at all..and kept rolling to the right. Whilst we understand the cottage is full of character the bed could be easily rectified to help a good night sleep. Wouldn’t stay there again unless in the knowledge that the double bed was made level.

What a gorgeous place to stay.
4.5/5

My partner and I stayed at Fond Memories Cottage in early Sept 2025. The cottage was lovely and had high quality kitchen appliances to make our stay comfortable. The location is superb, being only about 100 yards from St Ives harbour. There is no parking space for the property, but I soon learned that this is normal for virtually every house in St Ives!..... communication with the agent was nice and easy. I would definitely visit again

Hi Lloyd, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear that you and your partner enjoyed your stay at Fond Memories Cottage. It's great to know the high-quality kitchen appliances and the unbeatable location near St Ives harbour helped make your visit comfortable and memorable. You're absolutely right about the parking, St Ives’ charm comes with its quirks, and limited parking is definitely one of them! We're glad this didn’t impact your experience and that communication with our team was smooth and easy. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us!
