About this property
Whistler's Rest, Halsetown - Sleeps 4 with Parking and views of the Moors
Whistler’s Rest is a beautiful and cosy stone cottage overlooking the moors within a short five minute drive of St Ives town, restaurants, galleries and beaches. The cottage offers parking for one car.
The pretty cottage style garden is great for enjoying a relaxing evening meal or a glass of wine after a day on the beach, before settling down to enjoy impressive sunset views. The wooden table and chairs comfortably seat four. Alternatively, there is a small bistro table outside the kitchen.
This is the perfect cottage for a romantic hideaway, walking experience or a family holiday.
On the ground floor there is a lounge with log burner and comfortable leather sofas. The kitchen is well equipped with double electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, washing machine and a dining area for four.
To the front of the property there is also a small sitting area with large window overlooking the garden, an ideal location for your morning coffee.
A shower room with WC is also located on this floor.
A spiral staircase leads upstairs to two double bedrooms. The master bedroom enjoys wooden beams with a lovely view over the moors. The master bedroom has a double bed and an en-suite with bath.
The second double bedroom is at the front of the cottage with double bed ample storage, it offers wonderful views over the garden and beyond.
There is a small storage shed which houses a tumble dryer for your convenience as well as storage space for all your beach equipment and surfboards. There is also a washing line and outside tap.
At the rear of the property there is direct access to the moors - perfect for those who enjoy walking.
A lovely country pub is only a short stroll away.
