    “Our stay was wonderful and we enjoyed all that St Ives had to offer during the festival, with lots of activities on our doorstep.”

    The holiday let had everything we needed and a local bus to Penzance at the end of the row. Thank you for a great stay again. We will be back.

The property

If you desire the hustle and bustle of St Ives, but prefer a quiet, relaxing setting, then Rosewall Retreat offers the perfect location for your holiday.

This stylish modern eco home set over three floors offers beautiful countryside views, whilst being within walking distance of St Ives town centre, pubs, restaurants, and beaches, providing the perfect balance between town and country.

The property offers three well-appointed bedrooms and bathrooms, sleeping up to six guests (plus one infant), a downstairs cloakroom, utility room, and a large open plan kitchen/living/diner with underfloor heating, perfect for a luxury holiday for both families and couples/friends on holiday together.

The open plan kitchen/living/diner is ideal for entertaining as everyone can feel part of the celebrations, nobody closed away in separate rooms. This room offers luxurious soft furnishings and comfortable seating for six guests, flooded with natural light through the patio doors.

After the sun has set, the whole family or group can lose themselves in their favourite film on a large 43” TV.

If you enjoy creating culinary masterpieces while on holiday the property offers a contemporary well-appointed kitchen featuring everything a chef could desire.

You’ll love the stylish stainless steel under double oven with four gas hobs, fridge freezer, and dishwasher all from AEG.

A microwave, four slice toaster, coffee machine, stainless steel double sink and plenty of space to prepare your tasty treats, means you’ll have everything you need and more to look after the whole family.

To maximise your time having fun on your holiday, a utility room is located next to the bathroom on the first floor. Full of timesaving essentials, this space includes storage cupboards, a Bush washer/dryer, airier, iron and ironing board.

An enclosed landscaped garden provides plenty of space for the family to play, or the perfect setting to enjoy a glass of wine or a delicious Cornish cream tea on the patio.

Picturesque views from almost every window towards historic tin mines and Rosewall Hill, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty owned by the National Trust, set the perfect back drop to enjoy dining alfresco, or a barbeque with friends and family.

A walk up to Rosewall Hill, which attracts wildlife such as deer and rare birds, will reward you with panoramic views of the Cornish coastline towards St Ives.

As well as being perfect for nature enthusiasts, Rosewall Retreat is located close to public footpaths and the South West Coast Path, which also makes it ideal for small groups of walkers.

The property also offers the convenience of off-street parking for two vehicles for the duration of your stay.

Rosewall Retreat is just a 20-minute walk into St Ives town centre, which is home to the Tate Art Gallery, Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden and five beautiful beaches. The property is also only a ten-minute walk to Leach Pottery.

For guests who would prefer not to walk back up the hill from St Ives, there is a bus stop nearby and readily available taxis.

Its location makes it the perfect base from which to explore not only St Ives, but also the wider area, including Penzance, Newlyn, Zennor and Mousehole, which are just a short drive away.

If you wish to combine the tranquillity of the Cornish countryside, but still be near St Ives and the coast, then Rosewall Retreat is for you.
