About this property
St Ives Cottage near beach. Sleeps 4, with Courtyard Garden + Log Burner
Sunny 2 bedroom vintage cottage with garden courtyard, perfectly located in the heart of Downalong, St Ives, just yards from the harbour front, shops, restaurants, The Tate Gallery and three beautiful beaches. Separate kitchen diner, good sized living room, king size bed and twin beds
NEWLY REFURBISHED FOR 2024
Conveniently located in Downalong a short walk from just about everything,
Southern Comfort is among very few cottages in the Downalong area of St Ives that has outside space. Comfortable Boho styling of the cottage combines mid century pieces along side antiques and contemporary pieces. We’ve preserved many original features of the cottage: Victorian stripped floorboards, beamed ceilings, original timber walls and retaining a wonderful, cosy atmosphere.
Sunny living room with window seat, 3 seater John Lewis sofa, 2 Parker Knoll armchairs, GPlan coffee table, log burning stove.
Separate kitchen diner with scrub top pine table for comfortably seating 4 and well equipped kitchen with fridge freezer and dishwasher.
Spacious kingsize main bedroom with TV, twin room with full size single beds. Newlyrefurbished bathroom with rainfall shower.
Lovely enclosed, front courtyard benefiting from the sun for long periods of the day, furnished with bistro table and 4 chairs and string lights for dining al-fresco. Separate outside rear area for drying wetsuits etc and storing beach equipment
There is free very fast Starlink internet connection with WiFi available in the cottage, the smart TV’s have access to various streaming services.
