Description

Located in Cornwall's coastal village of St Ives, Puffins is a contemporary two-bedroom first-floor apartment.

Puffins is a fantastic tourist base for couples or a family of four who are looking to go away to Cornwall.

Unload your luggage and take in the beautiful scenery of Belyars Croft from your off-road parking spot.

Follow the oak flooring through to the open-plan living space where you can get ready to cook delicious dishes for your visitors in the well-equipped kitchen, stocked full of high-quality glassware and crockery alongside fantastic amenities including an electric oven, induction stove, microwave, and dishwasher, making cleaning up a breeze!

Whether you prefer to dine indoors or out on the balcony, you'll be able to take in the stunning ocean views from the comfort of your own private dining table for four.

As the evening grows darker, snuggle up on the plush sofa where you can relax in front of your favourite show on the flat-screen TV.

Pour in the bubbles and indulge in a blissful soak in the bath or a refreshing rinse in the shower before wrapping up warm in a premium towel as you prepare for bed.

Catch your rest in one of the two well-appointed bedrooms, a super-king-size with en-suite shower room and a twin, each offering a zip/link feature along with crisp white linens, elegant venetian blinds and curtains, twin bedside tables with lamps, built-in wardrobes for storage and full length mirrors and hairdryers to help get ready for the day ahead.

You and your visitors can start the day off on the right foot with a cup of coffee and a stroll through the lush subtropical communal gardens.

Visit the town's centre, where you'll find a wide range of pubs and restaurants providing delicious food made with fresh, local ingredients, as well as grocery stores where you can stock up on goods to make delicious meals in the comfort of Puffins.

A short walk will bring you to The Leah Potter, a pottery museum where you can attend a class and make your own keepsake or browse the gift shop for something unique to take back home with you.

The Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Gardens, along with the well-known Tate gallery ensure the art lovers in your party are well-catered for.

Be sure to take a trip to Porthminster's family-friendly beach where you can build sandcastles with the kids, paddle the clear waves, or simply sit back and enjoy the sun.

It's easy to get to Penzance, which has a beautiful promenade and harbour, an exceptional Penlee House Gallery and Museum, a lush park with an open-air theatre and the 15-acre Trewidden Gardens, as well as a ferry port that allows voyages over to the magnificent Isle of Scilly.

Head to the Penwith Heritage Coast, where you'll find Land's End Attraction featured in the latest film The Last Bus, for an unforgettable day excursion.

For an escape to Cornwall like no other, choose Puffins.

Another fantastic stay at Puffins.

Location is perfect for a gentle stroll into St Ives and to burn off a few pasty calories walking back up the hill at the end of the day. This is our 4th stay here and we are already booked up for next year. My only slight gripe is that the WiFi isn’t great for a family of four with multiple devices and the TV is starting to feel a little dated with many of the smart apps not performing well. If these two things were sorted it would be a 10/10, as it is I’ll give it a 9.5. See you next year Puffins!

Lovely apartment very comfortable and well equipped.

Bedrooms very hot windows only open about an inch which is not a problem in the living area as there is a door leading onto the balcony but the bedrooms were unbearable I think a couple of fans should be supplied. Had to call maintenance as hob would not work very helpful and came out the same day. Nothing wrong with the hob child lock was on. No mention of child lock in the instruction book. Thought the building work next to the apartment was due to be completed by spring 2026 still looks a long way off completion although not nice to look at did not cause us any problems St Ives town about 15 minutes walk you need to be fit. We did find a bus that went from a car park about 200 yards from the apartment down into town and back again £2 each way started at 10am and ran till 11pm after walking the first time we used this for other trips to town and beach. Information on this service could be included in the getting started book or displayed in the apartment. All in all we had a lovely holiday and would recommend Puffins

Puffins is lovely and we'd stay there again any time we return to St.

Ives. The property is clean, the beds are comfortable, it's quiet, and it's easy walking to the center of St. Ives (though you'd better enjoy hills!).
