Hidden Gem - Two Bedroom Cottage, Sleeps 4

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

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

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.

With twobedrooms, 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 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.

A central staircase leads to the bedrooms and bathroom.
