Overview

Positioned on the ground floor of a New England style apartment building, Rockpool at Salt is all on one level and has a fabulous terrace running its entire length as well as a private garden with lawn and raised beds. Sliding doors give access from the living room and bedrooms to the outside, where a bubbling hot tub and contemporary outdoor furniture create the perfect sun trap for enjoying fresh air dining or a relaxing soak.

Inside, the living area is open plan and airy with two sink-in sofas and a large coffee table, while the sleek, neatly proportioned kitchen is fully equipped to prepare anything from a simple breakfast to a lavish feast. The open plan dining room with its chunky Provencal table and six beautifully upholstered chairs is an inviting space for spending time together, while three superior bedrooms offer guests their own sanctuaries to retreat to after days spent down on the beach. Sophisticated wallpaper designs, upholstered headboards, pintuck cotton bedding and damask soft furnishings lend a luxuriously tactile quality to each of the bedrooms, while the quiet setting and garden views inspire complete relaxation and lazy mornings spent in bed.

Famous for its turquoise waters and beautiful surf beaches, St Ives benefits from a warm subtropical climate that makes it an idyllic holiday destination on Cornwall’s south eastern stretch of coastline. Explore the town’s winding streets and narrow lanes where a rich art culture is apparent, or shop in one of its many boutiques before sampling the local produce in a seafood restaurant overlooking the harbour.

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 Holiday
4.8/5

Excellent holiday accommodation, well placed for town and beach. Wi-Fi a bit hit and miss but didnt affect our holiday. Doors open up onto patio and grass which was excellent for sunbathing and relaxing. Accommodation clean, spacious and nice and cool in the heatwave. Would definitely return.

Hi Anne, This is so lovely to hear, thank you. We hope you returned home from your holiday relaxed and refreshed, and look forward to hosting you again one day.

We had a fantastic stay at Rockpool, the apartment was of very high standard and really spacious. Great to be dog friendly too and on the ground floor with a garden.

St Ives is lovely
3.3/5

Lovely stay in St Ives. Some challenges on arrival with the apartment being very cold but the underfloor heating built up heat by the next day.

Martin, 23 Jan 2026

Hi Martin, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review. We are delighted to hear that you had such a lovely stay in St Ives. I’m sorry that the underfloor heating wasn’t quite up to temperature when you arrived; that’s certainly not the welcome we want for our guests. I’m glad to hear it reached a comfortable level the following day, though. We’ve shared your feedback with the owner so they can take a closer look and ensure everything is just right for future stays. Thank you again for sharing your experience. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

Rockpool Review
5/5

Fantastic stay in St Ives. Rockpool is a great base to explore Cornwall by car or on foot. The property has 3 bedrooms, 2 ensuite plus a bathroom for the third bedroom off the hall so would comfortably accommodate 6. The kitchen, dining room and lounge are open plan with double doors opening into the hall, plenty of space. Outside a patio area runs the length of the property with adjoining private garden and the hot tub is tucked away to provide privacy. The car park and single allocated parking space is accessed through electric gate, additional 2 guest parking spaces are located on the road side of the gate on a first come basis, there is also an external shower off the car park although we didnt use that. Well maintained, well fitted and clean. A great stay.

Lovely spacious, garden which was ideal for dog, lovely hot tub which got cleaned 2x. Bit of a climb back uphill but definitely worth it. Would definitely come again.
