Known as the jewel of Cornwall’s crown, St Ives is one of the most beautiful destinations in the UK, and the kind of place you never want to leave. Curving around the pretty harbour, the town is filled with cobbled streets, independent shops, restaurants and galleries, and offers some spectacular coastal views. Its climate also benefits from the warmth of the Gulf Stream, and St Ives itself has five fantastic beaches boasting pale sands, sparkling turquoise waters, and some of the best surf around. Loved by artistic greats such as Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson, St Ives also has a wonderfully artistic vibe to it, not to mention two brilliant galleries –  The Tate St. Ives and the Hepworth Gallery.

Overview

Blue Moon is bijou St Ives at its best. Small but perfectly formed with the call of the sea just on your door step. This stylish little cottage is a perfect getaway for couples and combines beachside chill-out with a little bit of London class.

Relax downstairs beneath the Bridget Bardot on the wrap-around sofa and sheepskin throws in the uber-cool open plan living room and kitchen area, with flat screen TV. Just opposite the bottom of the stairs is the wonderfully decadent shower room with rainforest shower.

Upstairs, the main bedroom fetaures a custom built super king bed, small built-in wardrobe and another flat screen TV. However here it’s all about the space above you, as the ceiling has been opened right up to the rafters! Next door in the ‘dressing room’ there is further storage and a funky stainless steel, six foot long custom built desk, which with the addition of a cushion can be used as an extra crash spot!

About the area

Blue Moon is located on Porthmeor Road immediately behind Porthmeor Beach on the Northern side of the town, an area known for its thriving artist community. Thirty seconds from stepping out the front door your feet can be in the sand!

It is also a 5 minute stroll to the beaches of Bamaluz, Porthgwidden and the Harbour ,along with at least a dozen top quality restaurants, art galleries and craft shops.

St Ives was originally a fishing village, and has become favoured by artists for its incredible light and rugged coastal landscape. It is a cultural hotspot,  awash with boutique galleries, local art studios and several internationally renowned institutions, including the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Tate St Ives. It also has a reputation for top-notch food offering everything from delicious home-made meals to award-winning fine dining and everything in between. A casual stroll around town reveals a multitude of local restaurants, harbour side cafés, cosy pubs and stylish bars. It is also home to one of the oldest Inns in Cornwall, The Sloop Inn (c.1312).
