Charming Downalong cottage full of unique features
Situated just moments from Porthmeor Beach, Moon Shadow is a charming cottage in the heart of old St Ives, in the popular area of Downalong – which is known for its thriving artist community.
Accessed via a charming footbridge, you’re immediately welcomed by an open plan living space, complete with Chesterfield sofa, coffee table and 40 inch Smart TV, alongside a simulated flame fireplace.
The well-equipped, l-shaped kitchen boasts a compact larder fridge, electric hob/oven and a Nespresso machine and a breakfast bar. The WC is also downstairs.
Upstairs, reached via an original staircase, the spacious bedroom is full of character. With a sumptuous super king bed, smart TV, and built-in wardrobe it’s a stylish yet calming space. There’s also a walk in rainfall shower, with a pebble floor and unique natural stone bowl sink.
The design of Moon Shadow has been well considered, and finished to a high standard with underfloor heating. A pet-friendly cottage, it also comes with one private parking space. This unique property, in such a sought after location, makes an idyllic choice for a romantic couples getaway.
Facilities:
St Ives is located in western Cornwall. There is plenty to do in St Ives and it is a fantastic location if you plan on visiting exploring a little further afield too.
One of St Ives most well known attractions is the Tate St Ives, which is one of only four Tate galleries in the UK and is a haven for lovers of modern art. Artists praise St Ives for its beautiful light and it has inspired many pieces.
The cobbled streets of St Ives are home to many shops, galleries and cafes and most businesses are small independents or artisans. Check out Cornwall Soapbox for handmade soaps and aromatherapy products made in Cornwall!
When visiting St Ives, there are many bars, restaurants and cafes to choose from. Porthminster Kitchen regularly receives great reviews and has a strong focus on fresh local food or head to Blas Burgerworks for a tasty handcrafted burger using ingredients sourced from the area.
For beach lovers there are plenty to choose from… St Ives Harbour Beach, Porthgwidden Beach, Porthkidney Beach or Carbis Bay to name but a few. Families and couples will enjoy relaxing on the sand or playing in the water. St Ives Surf School offers sessions for surfing, kayaking, paddleboarding and coasteering. All great fun! If you prefer to stay a little drier though, St Ives Boat Trips run sea-life safaris to see the local dolphins and seals!
St Ives sits at the bottom of the A30, so if you are looking to explore more of the Cornwall coast, then this is a great base and you can book ferries for day trips to the Scilly Isles from Penzance (only a 20 minute drive away).
