Self Catering Holiday Apartment St. Ives

2 West Pier Flats - sleeps 4 people
enjoying some of the finest views of St Ives Harbour and the seafront.

• Two double bedrooms.
• Overlooking the Harbour and St. Ives Bay.
• Within walking distance of the local beaches.
• Ideally located for exploring St. Ives and beyond.

2 West Pier Flats has 2 double bedrooms & directly overlooks the Lifeboat Slipway.

Being on the first floor, with a huge bay window, our flat enjoys, we think, some of the finest views of St Ives Harbour and the seafront.

Enjoy all the action of the lifeboat being launched as she simulates rescue trials in St Ives bay, or watch the fishing boats deposit their catch of fish at Smeaton's Pier.

In high summer relax with local Cornish Silver Bands and Choirs as they entertain you during the early evening.

ACCOMMODATION

This first floor apartment enjoys some of the finest views in St Ives being located on the harbour front opposite the west Pier and Lifeboat House.

It contains a really light and spacious living / dining room with a wide bay window through which visitors can enjoy watching the lifeboat being launched, listen to the bands and choirs performing on the pier, or simply try to spot the seals coming in on the tide following the fishermen home in the hope of a share of their catch. There is a living flame fire, TV and video.

The fitted kitchen contains integral hob, oven, washer / drier and microwave.

Both bedrooms have double beds and wall-mounted heaters and the bathroom has a bath with an electric shower over, basin, WC and wall heater. We are particularly fortunate that the property is personally supervised and cleaned by a local St Ives couple who also supply the bed linen.

The shops and restaurants are all in close proximity as are the numerous Art Galleries and Craft Workshops. The Barbara Hepworth Museum is located nearby as is the Tate opened by The Prince of Wales in 1993.

LOCATION

Strolling behind the seafront into a warren of cobbled streets, alleyways and courtyards which formerly housed the fishermen of St Ives you will discover streets with unusual names: Mount Zion, Love Street, Virgin Street, Salubrious Place, Bethesda Hill and, of course, Teetotal Street; all reminiscent of St Ives strong Methodist and Temperance tradition.

All the main beaches of the town are within easy walking distance. Porthmeor is only a five minute walk and particularly popular with the more adventurous who want to surf. Porthminster and Porthgwidden are lovely family beaches and both boast excellent Beach Restaurants and Barbecues. If, however, you want to feel the sand under your toes but don't need a walk then the Harbour Beach is just yards away under your living room windows.

St Ives is an excellent centre for walking - the coastal pathways to Zennor and Carbis Bay are spectacular but the less energetic might feel equally relaxed taking a gentle stroll along the seafront, watching the sun set over St Ives Bay.
