LUXURY FISHERMAN’S COTTAGE | WITH PARKING

Penhallow is professionally marketed and managed by Orange Roofs, a local St Ives holiday rental agency.

Tucked away in one of the oldest and most characterful parts of St Ives, Penhallow is a beautiful fisherman’s cottage blending traditional charm with thoughtful modern luxury. Sleeping up to six guests across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the cottage also benefits from parking for one car nearby — a valuable addition in the heart of town.

A PEACEFUL LOCATION JUST MOMENTS FROM THE HARBOUR

Hidden quietly behind Mount Zion and accessed via a small passageway, Penhallow enjoys a wonderfully tucked-away feel with very little passing footfall. Despite its peaceful setting, you are only seconds from the harbour front, beaches, restaurants and the independent shops of Fore Street.

The cottage offers the perfect balance between cosy Cornish character and spacious holiday living, spread thoughtfully across three floors.

STYLISH OPEN-PLAN LIVING

Entering on the first floor, you are welcomed into the newly redesigned open-plan living and kitchen space. Decorated in calming coastal tones with carefully chosen furnishings, the room feels both stylish and inviting.

The living area features a comfortable sofa, plush armchair and wood burner — the perfect spot to curl up after beach days or coastal walks. A Smart TV provides easy entertainment for slower evenings indoors.

A BEAUTIFULLY EQUIPPED KITCHEN

The kitchen has been designed with both practicality and style in mind, featuring elegant marble worktops and everything needed for relaxed self-catering stays, including:


Fridge-freezer

Oven and grill with built-in microwave

Dishwasher

Washer/dryer

Kettle and toaster

Fully stocked cookware and utensils

A lovely additional touch is the seating spot beside the window, where you can pause with a morning coffee whilst catching glimpses towards St Ives Harbour.

CHARACTERFUL BEDROOMS ACROSS THREE FLOORS

A staircase from the kitchen leads down to the spacious lower-ground-floor bedroom, complete with a king-size bed and beautifully finished en-suite shower room. One particularly memorable feature is the upcycled porthole mirror — originally sourced from a ship and thoughtfully transformed into a striking bathroom detail.

On the second floor are the remaining two bedrooms:

A light and comfortable king-size bedroom with TV and storage.

A charming twin bedroom with coastal-inspired styling.

The family bathroom on this floor includes both a shower and a freestanding bath, ideal for long soaks after sandy days exploring St Ives.
Please note there is a step up into both the bedroom and bathroom areas from the landing, in keeping with the cottage’s traditional character.

A PRIVATE OUTDOOR SPACE

Just outside the front door is a small private courtyard area where guests can enjoy a morning coffee in the sunshine, dry beachwear or store smaller beach essentials such as buckets, spades and bodyboards.

BEACHES, SHOPS & CAFÉS RIGHT ON YOUR DOORSTEP

The location of Penhallow is exceptionally convenient for exploring St Ives on foot. Within moments you can reach:


St Ives Harbour Beach


Porthmeor Beach


The harbour front and West Pier


Independent shops and galleries along Fore Street


Just outside the cottage you’ll also find Mount Zion Coffee — a much-loved local coffee spot where mornings are encouraged to be enjoyed slowly whilst overlooking the harbour towards the RNLI Lifeboat Station.

    Beautiful property which was clean and well furnished. It was in a quiet alley with small outdoor space ideal for an evening drink. we stayed with our son and grandson and will return next year with daughter and son in law with grandchildren aged 5 and 7. A great location

    Everything from the layout to the location was just perfect for us. My wife and I used the basement bedroom (lovely) and my daughter and son-in-law and grandchildren (3 and 1) were upstairs. The proximity to the beach was the icing on the cake (literally less than a minute’s walk) as both kids loved playing there. Within easy reach of eateries of all sorts too, and yet within Penhallow itself was quiet..! Would definitely book there again!

    We enjoyed our stay in Penhallow, a very well equipped holiday cottage just a stones throw from the harbour. We found it comfortable, clean, and well maintained. The location made it for us, so close to the beach and shops/pubs etc. Home from home let with everything you need for a self catering break in a stunning location, with very nice quality bedding and towels - oh and blankets for a cosy evening!

    Good. Parking in St Ives is obviously a nightmare, but the trade off woth this place is that you're right on the beach and close to cafes etc.

    A beautiful cottage with everything we needed. Thoroughly enjoyed having a morning coffee on window seat in the kitchen looking at the sea. Very well equipped and perfect location for exploring all of St Ives.

    This cottage was a brilliant choice for us it had everything you need to make it a good holiday,it was clean and tidy with lovely pictures and fittings a fully equipped kitchen and comfy lounge area and the best thing it’s right on the harbour so what’s not to like,I think the only downside for us is that there is no parking which turned into a bit of a nightmare but didn’t spoil our holiday.I would definitely recommend this cottage to anybody who is looking at going to st Ives.

    Initially I did take a sharp intake of breath when I saw the cost of a week's rental at Penhallow. But, as they say, you get what you pay for and this is certainly true of this property. The cottage is really well appointed, beautifully decorated with top brand appliances, even the crockery, cooking knives, saucepans and cutlery are all high quality. The two bathrooms are really nicely fitted out and the beds all very comfortable. We stayed in August and keeping a social distance from other people in the town was quite difficult, it was so busy. But the location of Penhallow was perfect - close enough to all the shops and beaches, but tucked away in a side alley so it is very private and quiet (apart from the seagulls!). The little terrace was great for an evening drink outside and a welcome addition to the property. We loved it. Recommended.
