Shell Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms
Tucked away in a quiet setting in the heart of St Ives's Downalong quarter, this delightful cottage is a just 100 metres from the town's bustling streets, and within a pebble's throw of the fabulous Porthmeor Beach.
One of a handful of character properties in Hicks Court which sits at the entrance to the narrow cobbled streets of The Digey, the location of this little gem is superb. Porthmeor's surfing beach and iconic café as well as the harbour, some of the town's best restaurants, its galleries and shops, all lie on the doorstep. And for those travelling by car who'd like to explore the whole of St Ives Bay, places like Gwithian, Hayle, Carbis Bay and Lelant are just a few minutes away.
The space the cottage offers is perfect too. Comfortable bedrooms, a lovely living room, amply equipped kitchen, large bathroom and private courtyard provide families, couples, friends and their dogs a beautiful base from which to enjoy holidays in one of Cornwall's most famous towns. Shell Cottage also provides a parking space, which as most know is a real plus for St Ives, especially during the busy summer season.

Cottage is in a great central location- in less than a minute you can be on Fore street or Porthmeor beach. Lovely comfy beds, super bathroom. Lounge is a little small but perfectly adequate. The small outside space is great if you are bringing a dog. Would definitely stay again

Short Break
We loved our recent stay at Shell Cottage, prime location for Porthmeor Beach, restaurants and shops.Modern accommodation with lovely home furnishings, great bathroom. We can not comment on the car parking as those familiar with St Ives will know that the roads are narrow in this area, we parked at nearby Barnoon Car Park for dropping off our things and parked there for the duration to make it easier as only on a short break.Home from home, highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Fabulous Mini Break
Had a fabulous stay at Shell Cottage it was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The only thing that was confusing was it stated there was a shuttle bus to the car park which was a 15minute walk away but there was no shuttle bus it wasn't a major issue as we could drop off and pick up our luggage near the cottage but it would have saved time looking for the transport. The cottage was beautiful and very central would love to go back.
