Painter’s Cottage, St Ives
Central location | Wood burner | Two shower rooms | Boutique hideaway
Painter’s Cottage is a charming, character-filled hideaway tucked away in the very heart of St Ives. Just moments from Fore Street’s cobbled lanes, independent shops, galleries and restaurants, this beautifully styled cottage is ideal for a romantic coastal escape or a small family break (best suited to older children).
With two bedrooms, two shower rooms and a much-loved wood burner, Painter’s Cottage offers year-round comfort in one of Cornwall’s most iconic seaside towns.
*A cosy and characterful interior*
Entered from quiet Wills Lane, the cottage opens straight into a welcoming open-plan living, dining and kitchen space. Thoughtfully furnished and styled, the interior reflects its coastal setting with soft sea-inspired tones, locally sourced artwork and handcrafted pottery.
At the heart of the living area sits the wood-burning stove, creating a wonderfully cosy focal point — perfect for cooler evenings after a day exploring St Ives. There’s free WiFi, a Smart TV, and a carefully chosen selection of books and DVDs, making it easy to truly switch off (or settle in for a box-set binge).
*Kitchen & dining*
The compact yet well-equipped kitchen has everything needed for relaxed self-catering, including:
Oven and hob
Fridge
Slimline dishwasher
Full range of cookware and utensils
With Fore Street just a few minutes away, it’s easy to pick up fresh local produce — Cornish cheese, artisan bread and deli treats are all close at hand.
A small rear outside space provides access to a separate utility cupboard housing the washing machine and freezer, plus an outdoor tap — ideal for rinsing wetsuits after the beach.
*Bedrooms & bathrooms*
On the ground floor you’ll find a modern shower room with WC, ideal for sandy returns from the beach.
Upstairs (via steep cottage stairs, typical of traditional St Ives homes) are two beautifully finished bedrooms:
A double bedroom with compact en-suite shower room
A flexible second bedroom, which can be set up as a king-size bed (6’3” long) or twin singles
Both bedrooms feature Smart TVs, hanging space and high-quality bedding, with crisp cotton linens and plush towels provided for a truly comfortable stay.
Please note: the stairs are steep and may not be suitable for guests with mobility concerns or very young children.
*An unbeatable St Ives location*
From Painter’s Cottage, you’re perfectly placed to explore:
Porthminster Beach (your nearest beach and Blue Flag awarded)
St Ives Harbour and beaches
Fore Street’s shops, galleries and eateries
The Barbara Hepworth Museum, just a minute’s walk away
For dining out, local favourites such as Beer & Bird are right on your doorstep, offering a relaxed St Ives atmosphere with cocktails, craft beers and creative vegetarian and vegan dishes.
*Parking & practicalities*
