It you’re planning a special get-together of friends or family, this property in Carbis Bay is an excellent choice. Set 1 mile east of the town, this prime part of St Ives has its own beach set just half a mile from the cottage with calm turquoise waters surrounded by subtropical plants, water sports equipment for rent, and plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby. St Ives itself is one of Cornwall's top destinations and the quality of the light has been attracting painters, sculptors and ceramists for decades. Lose yourself for hours in the cobbled streets crammed with gift and craft shops, art galleries, top-notch restaurants and welcoming local pubs or head to one of no less than four fabulous local beaches, which between them offer miles of golden sands and rock pools to explore.
