The living area is open plan with the dining area and kitchen.  It opens out on to the decked terrace through large French doors.  Creature comforts include two supremely comfortable chocolate leather sofas along with an LCD TV with Freeview and DVD player.   There is also the latest in games consoles: a Playstation III with a selection of games.  This will offer entertainment for all, although with so much to see and do in Cornwall guests' may have other activities on their list!  For those who need to work away from home, wireless broadband is offered throughout The Sanctuary.

A selection of board games, books, DVD's and O.S. Maps are available for guests' to use and a Welcome Manual in the apartment provides a wealth of information about St. Ives and West Cornwall. You will find pub and restaurant guides as well as recommended walks along the Southwest Coastal Path and the stunning necklace of beaches around the St. Ives area.  Ideal for a blast of fresh salty air!

Dining Area

The dining area has a table and chairs for four people to relax and enjoy eating in.  An iPod dock is available so that guests' can listen to their own background music.

If you prefer to dine out, you are rather spoilt for choice with the acclaimed Porthminster Cafe just a short walk away.  Other recommended eateries in St. Ives are the AA rosette awarded Alba right on the harbour front, or on sunny days try lunch on the terrace at the Blue Fish.  Further afield we recommend fine dining at The Old Coastguard in Mousehole and gastropub fare at The Victoria Inn at Perranuthnoe.

The kitchen of The Sanctuary exudes quality with its beautifully fitted units and a raised glass bar area with two bar stools.  Sociable and open plan to the living area, it is a pleasure to cook here and create superb dishes with our fine Cornish produce.  Guests' should find all the utensils, pots and pans that they could possibly need to prepare a meal in this home from home.  As you would expect, there is a microwave, electric hob, oven and dishwasher.  Positioned on top of the Corian work surfaces are also a coffee machine, toaster and kettle.

Carbis Bay

With its golden sands and turquoise sea, Carbis Bay is recognised as one of the most beautiful bays in the world.  It is often selected as the perfect base for those wanting to relax and get away from it all but have the convenience of being just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of St. Ives.  With its Blue Flag accredited beach, Carbis Bay is a popular choice for a luxury self-catering holiday with many of our special escapes boasting dramatic sea views. The coastal railway links St Ives to Penzance and is perhaps one of the most scenic rail journeys in the UK.  The rail journey from Carbis Bay to St Ives takes about 4 minutes. It also connects to St Erth and Penzance to mainline UK stations including Paddington, London.
