Artist Cottage, Downalong - Sleeps 6 - Dog Friendly - Parking
Artist Cottage is a quintessential former fisherman’s cottage and net loft situated on one of St Ives’ most iconic pedestrian-only streets. Beautifully interior designed, this dog-friendly holiday home offers three spacious double bedrooms, an off-site parking space and the rare bonus of a south-west facing courtyard garden - perfect for relaxing after a day by the sea. Ideally located just moments from the Harbour, town centre and Porthmeor Beach, Artist Cottage places you right in the heart of St Ives while still offering a peaceful retreat. With its thoughtful furnishings, character features, and inviting outdoor space, Artist Cottage provides the perfect setting for a memorable Cornish escape at any time of year - for both you and your four-legged companion.
The principal entrance to Artist Cottage is via traditional granite steps to the first floor and leads into the carefully planned kitchen/diner. The kitchen is equipped with gas hob, electric oven, fridge, dishwasher, microwave and coffee machine. The bespoke dining table ensures the lay out is great to cook and enjoy fresh local produce. Take a few stairs up from the kitchen into the sitting room with TV and DVD player, the room gives a sense of light and space having a vaulted ceiling and bi-fold doors to the balcony and courtyard garden.
The main bedroom is a few steps up from the sitting room and has a king-size bed and adjacent shower room with wash basin and WC. There is a quiet nook in the attic which is perfect to read a holiday novel and enjoy a glass of wine. An attractive wooden spiral staircase leads from the sitting room down to two further double bedrooms on the ground floor where there is also a second entrance to the property. Bedroom two has a double bed and door out to the courtyard with the third bedroom having two single beds. The family bathroom on the ground floor has a shower over the bath, wash hand basin and WC. There is also a utility cupboard on this floor housing a washing machine and freezer.
Outside in addition to the first-floor balcony the cottage has a sunny courtyard with a side access, a real bonus in ‘Downalong’. The outdoor shower is handy to wash off the sand after a day on one of the nearby beaches.
