About this property
Nestled in the heart of picturesque Downalong, St Ives, Sealight Cottage is a fantastic three-storey, Grade II Listed, terraced fisherman’s cottage. Enjoying a superb location just a stone’s throw from the historic harbour, restaurants and four sandy beaches - as well as breath-taking views out over the rooftops out to sea and the harbour lighthouse - Sealight Cottage is a fabulous family-friendly dwelling for couples or a family of four. Follow the stairs up to the first floor, where you will find a welcoming light and bright sitting area, where you can look forward to relaxing on the cushioned sofas with your favourite tipple in hand, as your favourite show plays out on the TV, and the gas fire adds a gentle warmth and glow to the comfortable space.
Impress your loved ones with tasty dishes conjured up in the sleek kitchen/diner, featuring a handy dishwasher and washer/dryer, ready to enjoy at the dining table for four as you recount the day's adventures. After a day spent exploring the coast, follow the stairs up to the second floor, where you can freshen up in the well-appointed shower room, with charming nautical touches, before retiring to one of two beautifully decorated bedrooms, a king-size and a twin, both of which echo the nautical theme, harking to the property’s coastal surroundings. Explore your local surroundings, where you can treat your loved ones to fresh seafood at The Mermaid and The Rum & Crab Shack, American cuisine at Hub or sample Cornish-style delights at Porthminster Kitchen.
Your new holiday home enjoys an exceptional location just a short stroll away from four stunning beaches - Porthmeor, Porthgwidden, the Harbour Beach, and Bamaluz Beach, which lies at the end of the road - where you can sunbathe on the golden sands, surf, build sandcastles with the little ones, or paddle the shores. Keen walkers and cyclists will delight at the close proximity of the renowned South West Coast Path, whilst those wishing to take to the waters can embark on fishing charters or a sea safari. Other attractions within the town include the St Ives Museum, the Tate, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, and the charming Leach Pottery Museum.
For more coastal adventures, head to Carbis Bay or Hayle, where you can also spot the local wildlife at the RSPB Hayle Estuary or test out your swing at the excellent West Cornwall Golf Club. Continue onto Penzance, where you can appreciate breath-taking sea views from the outdoor Jubilee Pool, tour the Penlee Gallery & Museum, enjoy a leisurely stroll around the National Trust site of Trengwainton Garden, or sail to the Isles of Scilly, whilst St Michael's Mount is a historic sight not to be missed, sitting just opposite Marazion. For a memorable family-friendly stay in Cornwall, look no further than Sealight Cottage.
St Ives is one of Cornwall's prettiest harbour towns, with narrow streets, quayside cottages, the Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth museum, fabulous beaches, superb shops, a thriving artist community, and great pubs and restaurants. With its semi-Bohemian lifestyle and romantic air, this is the county's top resort. Wildlife, coastal walks, surfing, and the Celtic mysteries of Land's End Peninsula are all nearby. Excellent location!
