Charming Cottage 50 Mtrs from Porthmeor Beach for up to 6 people. With parking

Star Gazy is in a quiet pedestrian walkway, and there is a private parking space a short walk away, a tremendous bonus in St. Ives.The Porthmeor Beach is just a minutes walk from the cottage, with all the other beaches, cafes and little shops etc within a 5 minute walk. There are two large granite steps leading from the path into the cottage, and once inside there are 6 stairs taking you into the dining room, everything then is on one level. Star Gazy was originally built around 200 years ago as a store for fish, and was converted onto a comfortable 3 bedroom home about 100 years ago. Star Gazy retains several of its original features including stripped floorboards in the dinning room and bedrooms, and beams and exposed granite in the dining room. It is light and airy and overlooks the gardens in the meadow. Care has been taken in choosing furniture and equipment to make the cottage as quirky and comfortable as possible. A welcome pack containing tea and coffee will be waiting for you, and our housekeeper makes every effort to leave a few items in the cottage for your use, washing up liquid, salt, pepper, hand soap etc. All linen and towels are professionally laundered and included in the price. Beach Towels,Cots, buggies, highchairs, and other equipment may be hired directly from Star Linen St. Ives and will be delivered and collected for you. Local grocers etc are a 2 minute walk away. Supermarkets are on the edge of town.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and an electric kettle.

Great cottage

We had a fantastic week at Star Gazy. The cottage was spacious, light, bright, clean and so well equipped! Location is in a really quiet street but still only a 2 minute walk to Porthmeor beach. We loved wandering down at night and watching the sunset. Outside tap so useful for washing wetsuits. Car park a bonus. We would definitely return.

Sweet cottage near Porthmeor Beach.

This sweet cottage is less than a minute’s walk from the beautiful Porthmeor Beach in St Ives. It has everything you need for a holiday. A real home from home feel too. You can easily get to the shops and, although there isn’t a view of the sea, you can hear the distant sounds of the waves from the beach which is really lovely! The only thing to be aware of is the parking is up a pretty steep road/steps and takes about 5-10 minutes depending on how fit you are and it can be tricky with traffic flow getting in and out of the parking spot. But overall it is a super place, especially if you intend to spend most of your time on the beautiful Porthmeor Beach!

There is a steep set of steps leading you to the first floor of the property. It does not have a safety rail. This is not up to code. Otherwise it is a great place to stay.

Perfect location, opposite the beach just love St Ives

Perfect location right opposite the beach and two minutes from the town. Nice accommodation but could have been cleaner. I found crumbs in my bedroom and dirt between the settee. The accommodation did need updating and a proper deep clean. If your not too particular it’s the ideal accommodation at a good price.,

Great communication from the owner from start to finish. Lovely cottage in a great location, but the steps may be problematic for some. It was great being able to get to the beach in seconds, as well as being able to walk into town so quickly. We didn’t use the car all week.

Enjoyable stay

We had an enjoyable stay at star Gazy Cottage. Sandra’s communication was brilliant from booking to leaving. The location of the property was incredible-just a few feet away from the beach and shops. I do think that maybe the bathroom could do with updating as the shower is very small. But all in all a positive stay. Thank you Sandra.

Half term in St Ives

Cottage was lovely but the steep steps into the property should be highlighted on the main advert as it was tough to get up them with our cases! The actual cottage was lovely and perfect for us as everyone had a bit of space. Central location was fab too. Great shore fishing from Porthmeor Beach. Lovely coastal walks and The Tate and Barbara Hepworth Museum we’re worth a visit.

Delightful cottage

Perfectly located, quaint cosy cottage- very quiet location, a note of caution- stairs up to and into the property are steep. Car parking space is a fair distance from the property and there is a challenging walk to the parking space which in itself is a challenge due to limited space if one owns a bigger car. Bathroom although functional could do with updating (radiator, mirror, shower all rather tatty) this didn’t spoil our stay and we would certainly return here in the future.
