Overview
In the heart of St Ives lies the sought-after Downalong, the oldest and most historic part of the town which is characterised by a tangle of narrow cobbled streets, granite cottages and whitewashed stone, and it’s here that you’ll discover the superb Mariners Cottage. Sleeping six guests it is set over three floors and includes a lovely open plan living room with amply equipped kitchen on the lower and a large separate dining room and double bedroom on the first. The top floor is where you’ll find the second double bedroom as well as a twin, and with every bedroom having its own en-suite, the cottage couldn’t be more versatile or better suited to both families and groups of friends.
Tastefully furnished and decorated, the rooms are light, bright and airy thanks to whitewashed original stone and a calming colour scheme of blues and naturals. Beautifully designed for all seasons, a feature gas fire in the lounge keeps things cosy during the cooler months while sash windows throughout the property can be flung open to let the sea air in during the warmer ones.
Besides a fabulous foodie scene and plethora of wonderful blue flag beaches, there are plenty of attractions in St Ives for those fabulous days out, all of which are on the property's doorstep. The Tate St Ives perches right beside Porthmeor Beach, so you can take in some of that famous art scene and then step out onto the sand, or if you fancy a walk you’ll have many great coast paths to choose from including the 1.9km route to Carbis Bay. Further afield but easily reached by car lie the villages / towns of Lelant, Hayle and Gwithian, each with their own great atmospheres and fantastic sandy beaches.

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.

Cleanliness
3.5/5

We were very much looking forward to our break in St Ives, and we did have a great time but The overall cleanliness and a few maintenance issues within the cottage, I will list so they can be addressed before the summer season. 1 - White paint flaking off all walls. 2 - The fridge kept falling out of the integrated cupboard when opening the door. 3 - The small outside area hadnt been cleaned ever! 4 - When we hoovered the hoover stank, the filter hasnt been changed. 5 - On arrival there was either coffee or team stains on the floor, this shows it hadnt even been mopped. 6 - First floor bed only had one sheet with no mattress protector on a very soiled mattress. 7 - All showers were dirty and stank of sewage. 8 - thick dust and hair on all skirting boards. Whilst in an amazing location and well equipped this certainly isnt a luxury cottage!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our half term week in St Ives. The Quirky Cottage is in an amazing location and offers lots of character, its just a short walk to the harbour and beach, perfectly positioned for our family including our two dogs. Inside we found it very well equipped which allowed us to have nights in as well as enjoying the numerous places to eat in St Ives. I would highly recommend.
