Spacious Luxury Living For Large Groups
Finding somewhere super-special to accommodate ten can be a tall order, but The Garth in St Ives is the answer to luxury living for a large group; it comprises three fabulous cottages, each with the wow-factor, to appeal to all generations.
With a fun, laidback vibe and nautical theme, the cottages are all uniquely special. Iris is supremely spacious, perfect for a couple but can accommodate up to four, while Wella easily sleeps four and Juliot is a romantic retreat for two. There is something for everyone here. Iris and Wella are upside-down cottages with bedrooms downstairs and light-filled living spaces upstairs, to make the most of the famous St Ives light. Juliot is single level, so easily accessible.
For a special occasion or family get-together try The Garth set in the traditional heart of St Ives. Purchased in 2015, the cottages are in the prettiest street in St Ives, a prime location. The then derelict cottages here were transformed with no expense spared, and using local craftspeople where possible. They were ready by 2018, to enable visitors to live the St Ives dream, with beaches within 5 minutes walk.
Dine outside ‘en famille’ in the courtyard (perfect for a barbeque or summer evening party) or all meet up at super-spacious Iris with its lovely huge range cooker and a large table to comfortably seat everyone. All of the kitchens are George Robinson designed with top-notch equipment, so everyone can bring something to the table.
For a large but discerning party size of 10, you can book all three cottages, meaning you have 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 3 reserved parking spaces, probably unique in St Ives.
While any children safely sleep, you can spend your evenings sociably together in the private gated courtyard with patio heater, enjoying a glass of vino outdoors, but remaining close to hand for little ones. Perfect for extended families, or groups of friends seeking something just a little special, this is a gorgeous place to stay providing privacy but space to socialise.

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 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).
