About the host
Hosted by Claire Bisset

As a host, I love creating a welcoming and comfortable space for guests to feel at home. I enjoy meeting new people from different backgrounds and sharing local recommendations to make their stay special. Whether it’s suggesting the best coffee spots, hidden gems in the area, or fun activities to try, I take pride in helping guests have a memorable experience. Hosting allows me to connect with people, hear their stories, and offer a space where they can relax and enjoy their time away from home.
Why they chose this property
St Ives, located on the rugged Cornish coast, is a stunning seaside town known for its golden beaches, artistic heritage, and picturesque harbour. It boasts a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural richness, making it a favourite destination for artists, surfers, and holidaymakers alike. The town’s charming cobbled streets, lined with independent shops, galleries, and seafood restaurants, create a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere.
What I enjoy most about St Ives is its breath-taking scenery—whether it’s the turquoise waters of Porthminster Beach, the dramatic cliffs along the coastal path, or the ever-changing light that has inspired generations of artists, including those at the renowned Tate St Ives. The sense of tranquillity while wandering through the narrow streets, the fresh sea air, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore make it a truly magical place. Plus, indulging in a classic Cornish pasty while watching the sunset over the Atlantic is an experience like no other.
