Peaceful with Patio in Downalong, Moments from Beaches, Harbour, Town, Parking

The Cobbles offers charming ground floor one bed accommodation with additional double sofa bed, in one of the oldest buildings in St Ives in the much loved old fisherman’s quarter, tucked in just behind St Ives' colourful historic harbour and sea front. It is on one of the most beautiful lanes in St Ives - a quiet narrow pedestrian only cobbled street rising up from the Harbour. The Cobbles now has an exclusive fixed parking space in easy walking distance above the Tate gallery which you can use if you wish for an extra charge in advance. Ask the owner. Or arrive on the train as St Ives has its own train station within walking distance and you won't need a car unless you wish to explore the wider area - and for that there are buses, trains and taxis. You’ll find the Cobbles has the perfect holiday location: central for St Ives' unspoilt lanes, independent shops, five fantastic beaches - you can actually pad back and forth barefoot with your bodyboard from the front door if you like to the long sweep of Porthmeor sands or the pretty Harbour beach. Enjoy swimming, surfing, walking and relaxing; discover this unspoilt little town with its rich history and diversity of art galleries, old inns and wealth of good quality restaurants and cafes. Picture yourself strolling free as a bird out of your own front door to enjoy within whistling distance all the life and inspiration of St Ives, including stunning views of the bays on both sides of the 'Island', clean and inviting beaches, romantic sunsets and coastal walks as well as a wealth of small fascinating shops and the renowned and extended Tate St Ives Gallery which overlooks Porthmeor beach.. The Cobbles is an ideal choice for a holiday at any time of year - St Ives has a mild climate, often stunning sunshine and that famously enthralling light, with the thrill of high tides. There is so much to see and do all year round in this unique little town including a famous Jazz club, old cinema, boat trips from the harbour and of course it's the perfect place for finding interesting arts and crafts and Christmas shopping. In September there is the annual festival for two weeks of non stop cultural events and at New Year people flock in costumes to St Ives for an incredible outdoor celebration in the streets on New Year's Eve. Be prepared to enjoy just being inside at the Cobbles as well; it's warm and cosy, the lighting is generous, the facilities modern but unpretentious, so it's a good place for reading, writing, drawing or just catching up with yourself. The accommodation is fresh and clean, with comfortable beds, attractive design features and interesting original art on the walls. The pretty tiled patio right outside the door is of course a lovely quiet place to relax on sunny mornings. Guests love it and guest book comments include 'what a sanctuary this place is' ,'what a wonderful location!' 'could not fault this place - we will return,' 'spacious enough for the three of us', 'we'll most certainly be back for our anniversary', 'so clean and such a high standard' 'couldn't have asked for more!' .
Make yourself comfortable in this apartment, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and an electric kettle.
This smoke-free apartment features books, a video library, and ecotours nearby. Amenities and recreational activities include a music library, surfing/body boarding nearby, and hiking/biking trails nearby.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

We stayed at the cobbles in st. Ives, Cornwall for6 days and it was heaven. Situated in the heart of st.ives it was perfect for everything we wanted to do but it was quiet as no traffic was allowed up the lane. We would definitely stay there again

This is the most adorable cottage! Perfect location, so close to everything but also very quiet! We had a fantastic time and will definitely rebook next time we want to visit St Ives! We travelled from Vancouver, Canada to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary in St Ives where my husband proposed 31 years ago and we also spent our honeymoon before emigrating to Canada!

We have had a fabulous stay in StIves The Cobbles. Perfect little cottage/apartment. Beautifully clean and comfy. Fantastic location right near harbour. Big bonus having a private car park space at Barnoon because there were no public spaces free on the day we got there. Highly recommend. Many thanks

We were attending a Course at the St Ives School of painting Cobbles was in a very convenient spot for the school restaurants and the Tate all only a short walk The parking arrangements were good too we parked up and got a taxi down to the harbour with our luggage and in reverse as we left. We would stay there again.

Just up from Fore Street. A bolt home for two
The Cobbles was very easy to find, with the added bonus of a little sun trap patio to eat breakfast. Judith was very responsive, fortunately. The flat is set right in the heart of Downalong, easy to access everywhere in St Ives. Great swimming off Porthgwidden. Fabulous dinner at Porth Meor Cafe in a booth overlooking the sea. We paid for the reserved bay to park our car in, which took away the worry of moving our car out of Barnoon car park, and not being able to get it back in there. All in all, a great place to stay.

We loved our stay at The Cobbles. It is two minutes from the harbour. There is everything you could need in the cottage. The parking was a real bonus as at a premium in St Ives. Judith was a great host too.

Absolute little gem
Brilliant stay at the Cobbles, fab little snug with everything we needed for our stay. literally seconds from the main drag and perfect for exploring St Ives, with beaches all around.. Will definitely visit again. Definitely recommend taking up the carpark space that is offered for a small charge by the owner, once you’ve booked. (Parking in St Ives is a nightmare otherwise so this was a definite bonus)
