About this property

Wella 5* Gold Rated Luxury Cottage

A luxury Visit England 5* Gold Rated holiday cottage with two beautiful bedrooms, one double and one twin which can be linked to make a double. Both offer individual en-suites; one with a large walk-in shower, the other with a large bath big enough for two, each fitted with TVs.
The open-plan living/dining room boasts beautiful oak beams and luxurious fittings throughout. The fully equipped kitchen extends to a family dining area. A complimentary welcome pack is provided for your enjoyment.
The Digey is one of the most iconic streets in St Ives’ Downalong district. The narrow cobbled street connects Fore Street, near the harbour with Back Road West near Porthmeor beach on the other side of the isthmus.
It is not certain where the name ‘Digey’ comes from but one theory is it comes from dye-chy meaning dye house, where the boat sails were dyed.

We love Wella

We love Wella and have already booked to go back next year our 5th year. One small point when there is 4 adults. The twin room’s en suite does not have a shower. Even a mixer shower on the bath taps would be better than nothing. Everything else is perfect
Response from VrboOwner on 11 Jun, 2026
Thank you Pam for your review of Wella Cottage and for booking with us again, it's very much appreciated. Regarding your point about the lack of a shower in the ensuite bathroom, we will certainly explore the possibility of one being installed in the future. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

A great place to stay

We had a great stay at Wella. The location was brilliant, so close to the beach and town but also lovely and quiet. The cottage itself was perfect. It had everything we needed as a family of 4, and the welcome pack was a lovely addition.

Lovely clean luxury cottage in great location

The cottage is really nice and perfectly located for a stay in St Ives. The finishes were very luxurious and it was thoughtfully decorated with little local crafts. There was a lot of thought put into making us a comfortable as possible and particularly appreciated the fully equipped kitchen and laundry space , and the fact we could borrow body boards and buckets and spades vs buying and transporting them!

Stunning cottage, in the heart of St Ives

Recently stayed as a family of two adults two children. Set back from the Main Street within a beautiful private gated courtyard. The cottage is set out perfectly to a high standard of finishes. This is our second stay here and would return in a heartbeat.

Beautiful cottage

One of the best cottages we have stayed in in St. Ives. Well equipped and all furnishings and fitting were of high quality. Had the benefit of a reserved parking place but as this was about a mile from the property we didn't use it as parking wasn't too bad at this time of year. Have booked to stay again later in year.

Weekend break with friends

We stayed in Wella for the weekend and on arrival we were very impressed with the location and the cleanliness. The welcome pack was very useful, and a nice touch was the ready reader glasses on the bookshelf. The cottage is a short walk to the harbour, shops and pubs with very good entertainment. We would definitely stay again and our friends have said the same

Great cottage

Having stayed in St Ives many times over the years, we have booked a number of cottages, all very high quality but Wella was certainly one of the best. It’s so well equipped, finished to a very high standard and a more central location is hard to find. We loved staying here and managed to get a parking spot on the Island car park, being off season, but the free parking space provided with the cottage would be very useful in the busier periods. Highly recommend this lovely little cottage

Wonderful cottage in St Ives

We have stayed in many cottages in St Ives over the last 40 years and Wella is by far the best accommodation we have had. The location is so convenient and the condition of the property is fantastic. The only downside for us was that there is only one shower in the property. The other bedroom only has a bath and would benefit hugely by having a shower installed over the bath which would be quite easy to do. Otherwise, a perfect stay and we’ll be back.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review of Iris Cottage. We are delighted to hear you had a great time and that you will be returning to stay with us.

Wella in The Digey - amazing ❤️

Wella is part of My Cottages in St Ives group of properties in The Digey. We have previously used all of their properties, again this year, absolutely excellent. The Housekeeper ‘Marie’, is wonderful and every aspect of the property was top class. Also benefits from a beautiful shared secure courtyard and private parking, both hard to find in St Ives. We holiday around six times a year in St Ives and would always try to return to these properties.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Beeston

Host profile image
I grew up in the North East in a small mining community near Thornaby (is that right?). The greatest event of the year for myself, my brother and sister was the annual trip to St Ives for our summer holiday, despite the long drive and the constant “Dad are we nearly there yet”, the first view of the beautiful bay as you come into the town never failed to take our breath away and fill us with excitement for the days ahead. Those holidays gave me such fond memories, I wanted to re-create the experience for my son and grandson, so in 2015 I purchased the three cottages which were in a near derelict condition with the vision of creating some wonderful holiday cottages where the magic could be shared not only with friends and family but also our valued guests. Today we still come to St Ives for our Summer holiday and what a joy it is to see my mother and father spending time on the beach with their children, grandchildren and 5 year old great grandson. We hope you enjoy the living spaces we have provided and that you can create some wonderful memories of your own with your friends and families.

Why they chose this property

After many holidays in St Ives over the years it was always our dream to own our own cottage in the Town.
We are now living that dream!
The cottages were purchased in 2015 due to their prime location on the prettiest and most photographed street in St Ives. The properties were in a near derelict condition and sadly in need of lots of tender loving care.

What makes this property unique

The property has been renovated to the highest of standards by local craftsmen who incorporated local timber and slate into the re-build. The interior has been fitted and decorated with the highest quality furnishing and fixtures giving a very luxurious feel in the living spaces. There are unique touches throughout the property which gives it a quirky feel that makes you smile. The property is close to the beach and harbour front and is in an excellent location to enjoy all the local facilities. Wella is luxury living at its finest.
