Trewartha, Cosy Cornish Cottage a few steps from St Ives beaches and harbour

Refurbished in 2024, Trewartha is perfect for a family holiday or a break away for couples, and well behaved dogs are welcome to stay too so they can also enjoy the fantastic walks on the beaches and the coastal paths (and being with you of course!). Most of the attractions in St.Ives such as the harbour, Tate Gallery and the beaches are just a few minutes walk. The kitchen is well equipped for your comfort, although there are so many wonderful restaurants, cafes and pubs in St.Ives you probably won't want to cook. The cottage has 2 bedrooms, one with a king size bed and one with 2 single beds. Each bedroom has its own washbasin. The cottage doesn't have its own parking but you can pre-book a space at the nearby rugby club or there are several public car parks within walking distance. Trewartha is in a row of cottages in Downalong which is the oldest part of St.Ives. It fronts onto a quiet road and is moments away from Porthgwidden Beach and the harbour, which provide lots of opportunities for sitting outside and admiring the wonderful views. It is 15 minutes walk from the train station.

Beautiful Cottage for Beautiful St Ives
As a family we absolutely adore St Ives and have been visiting for over ten years in all seasons. To find accommodation as lovely as this cottage made our stay even more brilliant. We checked in very easily and were greeted with a clean and lovely cottage (& a cute welcome basket of goodies) The decor and furnishings were lovely with a real Cornish feel. We have a dog and have previously stayed in houses to find the smell of the previous visitors to still be lingering... We were really pleased to see and smell that there was no trace of previous dogs at this cottage. The kitchen was clean and had everything we needed for our stay & we enjoyed brunches at the table. We were able to override the heating when required, given we visited on a wet week. The bedrooms were really spacious with comfy beds and the perk of a sink each. The ultimate plus for us was the location, once the car was parked up, we left it and simply enjoyed dog walks, ice-creams, meals and drinks with of course beautiful St Ives views. Communication with Sarah, the owner was super and made the whole visit smooth running. We'd definitely like to return!

Very clean.. but very basic .. not the usual St Ives vibes.. heating being controlled remotely is not good .. just a house with furniture.. it has no soul or personality .. it’s a shame as the location is good .. beds were very comfortable.. but it’s all in the details .. which was what was missing .. would really loved to write a better review .. but feel the owners need to give it some love

The cottage is lovely. In the centre of St Ives. But on entering it obviously needs some TLC. Drab decor; cheap soft furnishings. Bed very comfortable. But very basic thin bedding. The sofa’s so uncomfortable. Definitely seen betters days. But our main issue …! The owner controls the heating from her Wifi. So if you need a boost you have to contact the owner to turn it up. We actually used the oven to heat the room. Such a shame. It could be a fabulous place to stay. But just felt like a business.

Amazing location, great host, and cozy home
The location is by far the best part of Trewartha. Just minutes away from beaches, dining, and all things St. Ives has to offer. The place itself is very cozy and has all the amenities you need. We stayed here for two weeks and loved it. We had our 17 month old and the beaches and parks that were minutes away were a big hit with him. It’s also close to main street with shopping and even more great dining options. Definitely recommend staying here. Sarah was an amazing host and responded to our needs right away.

A perfect place
A perfect place in old St Ives. Perfect host. Yes parking is difficult and the streets are narrow for cars but that's the charm... It ain't Milton Keynes!!! Book it and make some memories whatever your age...it's perfect

Great Place.
Sarah’s place is amazing. This is our second stay at her place. It is very clean and has all the amenities that you need. It is in a great location in St Ives. Close to the main streets for restaurants and shopping and close to the beach. Sarah is always quick to respond to inquiries. Also prior to your arrival she sends soft copy manuals of the appliances which is super helpful and I wish other hosts would do the same. If we ever return to St Ives we would definitely book this place again.
