Saint Ives, England
The Cobbles offers charming ground floor one bed accommodation with additional double sofa bed, in one of the oldest buildings in St Ives in the much loved old fisherman’s quarter, tucked in just behind St Ives' colourful historic harbour and sea front. It is on one of the most beautiful lanes in St Ives - a quiet narrow pedestrian only cobbled street rising up from the Harbour. The Cobbles now has an exclusive fixed parking space in easy walking distance above the Tate gallery which you can use if you wish for an extra charge in advance. Ask the owner. Or arrive on the train as St Ives has its own train station within walking distance and you won't need a car unless you wish to explore the wider area - and for that there are buses, trains and taxis. You’ll find the Cobbles has the perfect holiday location: central for St Ives' unspoilt lanes, independent shops, five fantastic beaches - you can actually pad back and forth barefoot with your bodyboard from the front door if you like to the long sweep of Porthmeor sands or the pretty Harbour beach. Enjoy swimming, surfing, walking and relaxing; discover this unspoilt little town with its rich history and diversity of art galleries, old inns and wealth of good quality restaurants and cafes. Picture yourself strolling free as a bird out of your own front door to enjoy within whistling distance all the life and inspiration of St Ives, including stunning views of the bays on both sides of the 'Island', clean and inviting beaches, romantic sunsets and coastal walks as well as a wealth of small fascinating shops and the renowned and extended Tate St Ives Gallery which overlooks Porthmeor beach.. The Cobbles is an ideal choice for a holiday at any time of year - St Ives has a mild climate, often stunning sunshine and that famously enthralling light, with the thrill of high tides. There is so much to see and do all year round in this unique little town including a famous Jazz club, old cinema, boat trips from the harbour and of course it's the perfect place for finding interesting arts and crafts and Christmas shopping. In September there is the annual festival for two weeks of non stop cultural events and at New Year people flock in costumes to St Ives for an incredible outdoor celebration in the streets on New Year's Eve. Be prepared to enjoy just being inside at the Cobbles as well; it's warm and cosy, the lighting is generous, the facilities modern but unpretentious, so it's a good place for reading, writing, drawing or just catching up with yourself. The accommodation is fresh and clean, with comfortable beds, attractive design features and interesting original art on the walls. The pretty tiled patio right outside the door is of course a lovely quiet place to relax on sunny mornings. Guests love it and guest book comments include 'what a sanctuary this place is' ,'what a wonderful location!' 'could not fault this place - we will return,' 'spacious enough for the three of us', 'we'll most certainly be back for our anniversary', 'so clean and such a high standard' 'couldn't have asked for more!' .
We were attending a Course at the St Ives School of painting Cobbles was in a very convenient spot for the school restaurants and the Tate all only a short walk The parking arrangements were good too we parked up and got a taxi down to the harbour with our luggage and in reverse as we left. We would stay there again.
Charming place. Very well-equipped. Excellent location! Judith is very nice and very responsive. Very highly recommended!
The Cobbles was very easy to find, with the added bonus of a little sun trap patio to eat breakfast. Judith was very responsive, fortunately. The flat is set right in the heart of Downalong, easy to access everywhere in St Ives. Great swimming off Porthgwidden. Fabulous dinner at Porth Meor Cafe in a booth overlooking the sea. We paid for the reserved bay to park our car in, which took away the worry of moving our car out of Barnoon car park, and not being able to get it back in there. All in all, a great place to stay.
We had a brilliant time staying at the cobbles, excellent location and really lovely cottage fitted with everything you would want.
You can’t beat being just metres away from the harbour and Judith was a pleasure to communicate with. We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed the time in St Ives
Great location, close to all amenities, great accommodation, very clean & very comfortable will definitely be returning in the future - 5 stars.
We loved our stay at The Cobbles. It is two minutes from the harbour. There is everything you could need in the cottage. The parking was a real bonus as at a premium in St Ives. Judith was a great host too.
Excellent vantage point and easy to self cater Thank you
Brilliant stay at the Cobbles, fab little snug with everything we needed for our stay. literally seconds from the main drag and perfect for exploring St Ives, with beaches all around.. Will definitely visit again. Definitely recommend taking up the carpark space that is offered for a small charge by the owner, once you’ve booked. (Parking in St Ives is a nightmare otherwise so this was a definite bonus)
Super location - right in the centre of St Ives.
Brilliant location, the cottage had everything we needed and was very clean with lots of extras that we could have forgotten to bring. Very cosy and quiet. Thank you Judith for a lovely few days in St Ives.
Very comfortable and well-presented accommodation. Was within two-minute walk to the harbour.
Lovely cottage in a great location with easy access to all that St Ives has to offer. Has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay.
The apartment is great. The location couldn’t be easier to get around. We were there for four nights and were quite comfy. Having the parking was a plus. This was our break in the middle of a tour around Cornwall and was just what we needed.
Lovely cottage, perfect location for all amenities in St Ives,spacious interior,parking available at extra cost( definitely worth getting this) very clean,everything you need within the property even clothes maiden,washer/dryer,beach mats & windbreak. Problem with keysafe but owner sorting. Would recommend,always sad to leave St Ives. Thanks for a lovely holiday.
We had a great stay the cottage was lovely and clean with a homely feel, great location for everything.
Excellent location, clean, modern, all mod cons, parking available, comfy bed
If you want to be in the center of it all, this is for you! Actually, the advantage of this apartment is that it is conveniently located close to everything, BUT it's on a quiet side-street so you don't get as much of the noise and activity. The space is organized and has a nice amount of storage. The personal artwork makes it cheerful and welcoming. The supplies and appliances are in good shape (the stove can be a little challenging. Make sure you push the correct button - on the right - to turn it on!) We thoroughly enjoyed the museums, walking the many pedestrian trails, and even a 30 minute hike to beautiful Carbis Bay. This is a great little vacation rental. Don't miss the opportunity to grab it when it's available.
The Cobbles is just as advertised, a quaint cottage on a quiet lane, just round the corner from the seafront at St Ives. We had everything we needed including a few little extras like milk and biscuits. We were a bit apprehensive about the parking arrangements which seemed complicated, however everything went to plan. We arrived mid afternoon on a Monday and there were several spaces in the Sloop car park. The cottage is just round the corner and we easily found our way to the long stay car park where our car stayed out for all of our break. We found the cottage well equipped with a comfortable double bed and a spacious shower room. We had only one complaint, the sofa bed when used as a sofa is uncomfortable to sit on. Overall we rated the cottage 5 stars and we would recommend it.
Highly recommended
Very easy- perfect for a short stay for two. Ideal location.
I cannot fault this property in any way, quite compact but with everything provided for a relaxing and comfortable break. I enjoyed every moment of my stay and will certainly return.
