About St Ives
Your corner of Cornwall.
St Ives is located in West 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.
For beach lovers, there are plenty to choose from… Porthmeor Beach, Porthgwidden Beach, Godrevy, 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!
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.
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).

In their own words
Great location in town. Weather was fantastic for the time of year, lots of lovely food and a trip to the local theatre (Kidz R Us show).
Excellent Cornish Cottage in the centre of St Ives, but not on main street. Fully modernised and equipped to a very high standard. Close to all the amenities. Bonus a car parking space at the Rugby Club.
Just had a great weeks holiday in this stunning cottage, spotlessly clean and very impressed with how well equipped the kitchen is. Tastefully furnished to a very high standard and an amazing view from the lounge picture window.
A fantastic stay at Vitamyn Sea, a perfectly located house a few minutes walk from the beach. An immaculate property with unmatched sea views from the lounge and bedroom. The house has all the amenities you need making it a real home from home and allowing you to relax straight away.
A stunning, modern, clean and comfortable house all round. The location was outstanding. A very short (2 minute) walk to the Town Centre. There were many shops within a few minutes walk to do a full food and general shop to stock up for our stay. There were also many bakeries and local cafes for us to enjoy in the morning which were all excellent. With the location being so central, there was access to all of the wonderful restaurants and bars that St Ives has to offer.
We have just returned from a truly magical stay at this beautiful house. The outside courtyard area was excellent to relax and enjoy our morning coffee in the sun and as we were both working during our stay the excellent efficiency of the wifi throughout the property combined with the desk/study area made it the perfect location to also work from. The added bonus of only being a few minutes’ walk to the harbour meant we didn’t need to use the car once during our stay.
Having just spent 5 days in Vitamyn Sea St Ives, I thoroughly recommend this outstanding accommodation. Very roomy for 8 guests, really well equipped and beautifully clean and tidy on arrival. The large comfortable kitchen area is superb for family gathering and the upstairs lounge with an incredible view is just wonderful. All seating, sofas and beds are really comfy. Once the car was parked, we didn’t need it again during our stay as the location of the house is perfect for walking into the town or losing time walking the South coast paths.
Fantastic house in a brilliant location. It is only a 2-minute walk to the town centre, an abundance of eating places and the coast path. It was great not needing a car. The house was extremely comfortable, had everything we needed and was immaculately clean. Our favourite part was relaxing in the lounge and taking in the incredible views
Tastefully renovated and really well equipped house. Lots of space for meal times in the lovely kitchen. Great to relax in the top floor lounge whilst taking in the stunning view of the bay. Most importantly, the house is just a five minute walk from lots of great eateries, bars, gift shops and places to stock up on local food and drink
Fantastic location with spectacular views and spacious accommodation
I have just returned from a short break at this beautiful property. Such a fantastic location only minutes away from everything St Ives has to offer. A wonderful holiday home, modern, clean and well maintained. The large kitchen diner is perfect and well equipped, the bedrooms lovely and comfy and the bathrooms spotless. The view from the spacious lounge is fabulous!
Fantastic Location
The accommodation is very comfortable & views from the lounge are awesome!
