Guests can perch on a couple of retro bar stools at the breakfast bar.

There is a separate utility room off the hallway with a washer/dryer, ironing board and iron.

A welcome manual in the apartment provides a wealth of information about St. Ives and West Cornwall. Explore this gorgeous coastline via the southwest coastal path which stretches in both directions from St. Ives, taking in the rugged coastline westwards to Zennor or towards the wonderful beaches of Carbis Bay and Porthkidney Sands. For the less energetic, one of the most scenic rail journeys in the UK can be enjoyed travelling from Porthminster station to St Erth.

Dining Room
 
You will of course be tempted to sample one or many of the excellent restaurants in St Ives town however, there is a separate dining room which comfortably seats four people for you to enjoy the wonderful meals that you can prepare in your designer kitchen or from the many establishments who will deliver readymade meals.

If you prefer to dine out, then the award winning Porthminster Cafe is just a short walk away. One of the best beach cafés in Cornwall, and a favourite of our guests,' this is not to be missed.  Other recommended restaurants in St. Ives are the Seafood Cafe, St Andrew's Bistro, Blas Burgerworks and The AA rosette awarded Alba on the harbour front.  Further afield why not try a leisurely breakfast at Godrevy Cafe in Gwithian or Jamie Oliver's "Fifteen" at Watergate Bay?
