Hidden Gem - Two Bedroom Cottage, Sleeps 4

Central location | Private garden terrace | Parking nearby | Dog friendly

True to its name, Hidden Gem is a beautifully styled cottage tucked away in a peaceful mews in the heart of St Ives. Just moments from the harbour and a short stroll to Porthminster Beach, this boutique coastal retreat offers the best of both worlds — a central location with a wonderfully secluded feel.

Hidden Gem is professionally managed and marketed Orange Roofs, St Ives, Cornwall.

With two bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom, private terraced garden and the rare bonus of parking for one car less than a minute away, Hidden Gem is ideal for couples or small families looking for a stylish base in St Ives.

Dogs are also very welcome — and they even have their own outdoor bath!

*The space*

Inside, the cottage blends traditional character with modern coastal styling. The ground floor living space features solid oak flooring, soft neutral tones and comfortable leather seating, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Steps lead up to the bespoke kitchen and dining area, a beautifully designed space with fitted cabinetry and built-in bench seating. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, making it easy to prepare meals using fresh local produce from St Ives.
