LUXURY FISHERMAN’S COTTAGE | WITH PARKING
Penhallow is professionally marketed and managed by Orange Roofs, a local St Ives holiday rental agency.
Tucked away in one of the oldest and most characterful parts of St Ives, Penhallow is a beautiful fisherman’s cottage blending traditional charm with thoughtful modern luxury. Sleeping up to six guests across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the cottage also benefits from parking for one car nearby — a valuable addition in the heart of town.
A PEACEFUL LOCATION JUST MOMENTS FROM THE HARBOUR
Hidden quietly behind Mount Zion and accessed via a small passageway, Penhallow enjoys a wonderfully tucked-away feel with very little passing footfall. Despite its peaceful setting, you are only seconds from the harbour front, beaches, restaurants and the independent shops of Fore Street.
The cottage offers the perfect balance between cosy Cornish character and spacious holiday living, spread thoughtfully across three floors.
STYLISH OPEN-PLAN LIVING
Entering on the first floor, you are welcomed into the newly redesigned open-plan living and kitchen space. Decorated in calming coastal tones with carefully chosen furnishings, the room feels both stylish and inviting.
The living area features a comfortable sofa, plush armchair and wood burner — the perfect spot to curl up after beach days or coastal walks. A Smart TV provides easy entertainment for slower evenings indoors.
A BEAUTIFULLY EQUIPPED KITCHEN
The kitchen has been designed with both practicality and style in mind, featuring elegant marble worktops and everything needed for relaxed self-catering stays, including:
Fridge-freezer
Oven and grill with built-in microwave
Dishwasher
Washer/dryer
Kettle and toaster
Fully stocked cookware and utensils
A lovely additional touch is the seating spot beside the window, where you can pause with a morning coffee whilst catching glimpses towards St Ives Harbour.
CHARACTERFUL BEDROOMS ACROSS THREE FLOORS
A staircase from the kitchen leads down to the spacious lower-ground-floor bedroom, complete with a king-size bed and beautifully finished en-suite shower room. One particularly memorable feature is the upcycled porthole mirror — originally sourced from a ship and thoughtfully transformed into a striking bathroom detail.
On the second floor are the remaining two bedrooms:
A light and comfortable king-size bedroom with TV and storage.
A charming twin bedroom with coastal-inspired styling.
The family bathroom on this floor includes both a shower and a freestanding bath, ideal for long soaks after sandy days exploring St Ives. Please note there is a step up into both the bedroom and bathroom areas from the landing, in keeping with the cottage’s traditional character.
A PRIVATE OUTDOOR SPACE
Just outside the front door is a small private courtyard area where guests can enjoy a morning coffee in the sunshine, dry beachwear or store smaller beach essentials such as buckets, spades and bodyboards.
BEACHES, SHOPS & CAFÉS RIGHT ON YOUR DOORSTEP
The location of Penhallow is exceptionally convenient for exploring St Ives on foot. Within moments you can reach:
St Ives Harbour Beach
Porthmeor Beach
The harbour front and West Pier
Independent shops and galleries along Fore Street
Just outside the cottage you’ll also find Mount Zion Coffee — a much-loved local coffee spot where mornings are encouraged to be enjoyed slowly whilst overlooking the harbour towards the RNLI Lifeboat Station.
